  1. Aurelia
    Hi everyone. I've built a gold farm over the first year or so and its been updated immensely since I first built it. I just came back to EMC so i decided to optimize the farm to get the best spawns.
    Included in this thread will be the farm guide, directions, pictures, and some misc things.

    Directions
    Go to /wild n on SMP9 and head straight east from the wild n spawn. You should find a path at the beginning of the build zone. Head down the path and your at Aurelia.

    Farm Guide
    The items you will need for the farm are a bow and a sword. You don't really need to bring food because the health beacon will keep you alive if you eat rotten flesh. To use the farm agro pigmen on either side of the farm with your bow. Shoot one on the top row and bottom row of each side and let them agro towards you so they can be brought to the collection point. Do this a couple of times and let the pigmen gather up in the collection point and start killing.

    Pictures

    If there are problems with the farm or griefs, contact me on the forum or Chillc in game. Hope you all enjoy my farm. Also don't be afraid to suggest things for the farm I'm open for suggestions.
  2. Impressive! Though "gold farm" was not the first thing I thought of upon seeing the name.


    Regardless, it's quite the build. :) Well done.

  7. Bump. Collection room entrance revised. Most likely will be moved again to get most spawns as possible. If you find any griefs contact me. I play chillc in game

  8. I just went out and took a good look around. lol
    If you're open to it.. I have a couple suggestions.
    1) The pigmen aren't able to be aggravated to earn better xp. ( Ithink this comes from the fact that they are to damaged from the fall to the kill chamber.)
    2) You need water for the pigmen to land on or a short fall. ( you got pigmen dying when they just from the fall. )
    3) You seem to have a lot of pigmen that just stand around at the bottom where there is no water because of the signs.
    ( getting them to aggro, I think would solve this....
    4) also putting up a 2 block high iron fence were the space between the portals is open in the kill chamber room... Would seriously help, players from falling into the bottom where the pigmen fall to.

    5) The spawn rate is the best feature here.... We just need to tweak this a bit for it to become the gold farm of gold farms here on EMC.

  10. You can auto-agro the pigmen by using snow golums. Just box them in whereever you want the pigmen to go.
