Players say they are "farming" an area or boss when they are repeatedly clearing the same area for the rewards, rather than merely trying to survive.

Players generally use the term when they are able to routinely power through an area and can thus play it for profit and speed, rather than merely trying to survive. So a player might say, "My Barbarian is now strong enough to farm Act Three on [[MP5]]." meaning they could clear that area without much risk of death, and do it quickly enough for solid rewards. Or, "I've been farming [[Nekarat]] all day and he still hasn't dropped the damn plan."

-Players say they are "farming" an area or boss when they are repeatedly clearing the same area for the rewards, rather than merely trying to survive.
+Farming is a term meaning to repeatedly and/or easily clear a level in search of profit, as opposed to merely surviving. Players refer to "farming" or "farm runs" when speaking of fast, efficient killing speed, ideally with high [[MF]] and +[[exp]] for maximum profit.

+Farming is a considerably different style of play than merely surviving, or taking on higher levels of [[Monster Power]]. Most farming [[builds]] are focused around fast movement speed and resource generation, and farming builds are generally built to do just enough damage to quickly clear on MP0 or MP1.  Skills with higher resource cost are often used for their burst damage, when such attacks would not be very suitable against monsters that can not be killed off so quickly.
