Area 5

**Area 5** is the fifth area of EPIC RPG, known as the "farming area" due to the high trade rates between Area 5 and Area 6.

The recommended working command for this area is **/axe**. Although **/ladder** may feel as though it provides more value, statistically on average **/axe** wins out due to its occasional Super Log and Epic Log drops.

## Recommendations Prior to Dungeon

### Recommended Stats

* Attack: 167
* Defense: 130
* Life: 245 + (Life boost C)

### Recommended Grinding

You will likely want to grind enough  apples to give you enough materials to craft all EDGY+ gear you need for dungeons past Dungeon 9.

*(Note: The TTX indicators before refer to your time travel level - if you don't know what that means, you probably haven't time travelled yet and will only need to grind enough for the Edgy Sword.)*

### Recommended Apple Counts

    \*A5 apples=½ A3 Fish. So if you have 10k a3 fish, you get 5k a5 apples.

 Time Travel 1 and 2
 Time Travel 3 and 4
 Time Travel 5 to 9
 Time Travel 10 to 24
 Time Travel 25 and above

EDGY Sword/Edgy Armor requirements can be found in "**/recipes**" on the second page, while Ultra-Edgy, Omega, and Ultra-Omega Gear can be found in "**/forge**" (unlocked after reaching Area 11).

For the  **Edgy Armor**, which is required for Dungeon 10 along with the  **Edgy Sword**, you want to grind monster drops (Wolf Skins, Zombie Eyes, and  Unicorn Horns) as no new monster drops unlock in Area 6. The main benefit of grinding a portion of the required 50 of each monster drop (to craft Edgy Armor) prior to reaching higher areas is lootboxes. As new monster drops unlock, the chance of getting the older monster drops from the lootboxes decrease.

As part of your monster drop grinding, ensure that you are purchasing  EDGY lootboxes on cooldown - the materials you obtain from EDGY lootboxes are indispensable, and your lootboxer profession is difficult to level up. If you do not have enough coins to purchase EDGY lootboxes, consider joining a larger server to grind Coin Rain and Miniboss events, or if you have no other choice, sell  apples to fund the purchases. 210 apples is equal to 420k coins.

For players who have high time travel bonuses it is recommended to farm in A3 instead of A5, as once you reach TT5 working commands and pets in A3 provide more resources than lootboxes in A5. Unlike those who haven't time traveled, they have enough money for buying lootboxes, so they can also stack EDGY lootboxes for opening in A5, while farming in A3.

Whenever you have enough money to afford  EDGY lootboxes without having to sell apples, it's best for you to farm a little bit in Area 3 before coming to Area 5, the reason of this is due Area 3 having better trade rates than Area 5, therefore making the farming a bit faster for the player. More information about this can be found in the Area 3 page.

### Recommended Gear

* Sword: Ruby Sword, Ultimate enchantment or better
* Armor: Epic Armor, Ultimate enchantment or better
* Minimum level: Level 30

### Recommended Trades

You should dismantle **all** your materials into logs, then convert them into apples. This **does** include Ultra Logs, Hyper Logs, and Epic Fish. Because the trade rate almost quadruples between Area 5 and Area 6, the gain outweighs the loss from dismantling. Refer to the table to the right.

#### ***Trade Rate Increase Benefit***

It is true that you could directly grind the same number of apples in Area 6 through worker commands, then convert them to a corresponding higher number of logs. But the benefit of the trade rate increase between Area 5 and Area 6 is that logs are far more easily obtained than apples.

* **/axe** provides more materials than **/ladder**.
* Lootboxes provide more log materials than apple materials on average.
* Epic Tree and Megalodon events provide 50-250 logs on average, while there is no corresponding apple event

Thus, it takes less time to grind logs in Area 5, convert them to apples, then take advantage of the apple to log trade rate increase between Areas 5 and 6.
