How to AFK farm in Granblue Fantasy: Relink

To AFK farm in Relink, all you need to do is turn on Full Assist Mode and take on a Quest Counter mission. When you do this, the AI will fully take over control of your active character, attacking enemies, dodging and doing almost everything for you. You will still need to move your character for them to auto-attack, so bear this in mind. Here’s how to get started with AFK farming:

1. Turn on Full Assist Mode in the system settings.
2. Make your main active character a ranged unit, we use Rackam.
3. Take on a Quest that is between Easy and Extreme difficulties.
4. Load into the fight and go make yourself a cup of tea.
5. Once the quest clears, press Repeat Quest and let the game do its thing.

The best way to AFK farm in Relink is to choose a quest that doesn’t involve movement. Full Assist Mode will not move your character to enemies, they will only attack enemies who come in range. This means that boss battles are perfect for this AFK farm method.

That’s it! One extra step for AFK farm is to select ‘Repeat Quest’ during the rewards screen. You can do this by pressing Square on your PS5 controller. The quest will now repeat 10 times, and you can simply go off and do your own thing until then.

There is some player input needed to keep this going smoothly, so it’s not like you can set this up and then leave your house for five hours. You will need to be there to confirm repeating the quest after every 10 clears.

Generally speaking, the AFK farm isn’t the most efficient method for getting anything, but it does help remove the mundane activity of fighting the same bosses over and over again. You can probably do higher-difficulty quests yourself and see better results, but this is a nice way to passively increase your supplies across the board. Your Power level also comes into it, because you want the AI to fight weak enemies that will be done quickly.

Full Assist Mode only works on Quest Counter missions that are Easy, Normal, Hard, Very Hard, and Extreme. There are also some limitations in Full Assist Mode, such as the AI not moving your character if you’re out of range of the enemy. If this happens, you will simply stand there until it comes back into range, which is why we recommend a ranged unit.

✓ Jack’s Opinion

Use a ranged character

Using a ranged character like Rackam will help your AFK farming. Rackam has a long range and so he will target the enemy easily and if it goes out of his range, he can easily get back to it if it comes close enough again.

Best Quests to AFK farm

When it comes to the best quests to AFK farm, it depends on what you’re looking for. We highly recommend AFK farming on boss and defence-style quests, since the AI won’t move your character around. With small arenas, the Full Assist Mode should be able to keep on attacking the enemy.

To test this out, we’ve used AFK farming on the I See a Blood Vision, Eye Have a Problem, and Only You Can Prevent Forest Flyers quests. These are all Normal Difficulty quests, which are extremely easy to clear at a high level.

Once again, don’t try and use Full Assist Mode on Quests you have to actually move your character around on, because this will involve too much input and remove the AFK part of the whole farming experience.

Best characters to AFK Farm

When doing your AFK farm in Relink, you should always pick characters who use ranged attacks, Eugen and Rackam are the top contenders since they both use guns and can deal phenomenal damage.

That’s all you need to know about how to AFK farm in Granblue Fantasy: Relink. While great at getting low-level materials and convenient to do, it is by no means an efficient way to gather. For more, read our guides covering the best Sigils and the best builds for Cagliostro.
