Farming Gold [ ]
Farming General Equipment [ ]
The following is a list of commonly used equipment that you may want to farm and a recommended stage to farm in. Note that the stages on this list are not the only ones you can farm in, but are chosen because they have the least amount of other drops in the stage and the highest number of mobs available in the case of ties. Number of chests was not taken into account. If you wish to farm multiple items at once there may be better stages which have an overlap of multiple useful items.

You may also sometimes want to do some general farming for multiple pieces, in which case sometimes a stage which has multiple generally useful drops (usually with more enemies) may be preferable to one focused on a single drop. Below are a list of some stages which have at least 2 drops which may be useful to farm. Note that only stages not already listed above are included here.
