Idle Boss Rush Farming Guide (Items, Materials, Damage Build)

If you’re struggling to gather enough materials or duplicate items for upgrades in Idle Boss Rush, this guide will walk you through a highly efficient method to farm loot, upgrade gear faster, and build a high-damage loadout centered around Barbarians and the Ballista.

1. What Do You Need to Farm Efficiently?

To maximize your farming speed, there are two key goals:

A. Loot-Doubling Item (from Baldog)

The most important item for fast farming drops from the boss Baldog. This item gives:

  • Double materials per boss kill
  • Guaranteed equipment drop from that boss’s loot table

This significantly cuts down farming time, especially when aiming for 10, 100, or even 1000 copies of an item to fully upgrade or enchant your gear.

Tip: Equip this item before targeting a specific boss. You’ll get far more loot per kill, making long farming sessions much more rewarding.

B. Boss Spawn Acceleration

The faster the boss dies, the faster it respawns. That means more loot and more materials in less time. To do this:

  • Use high burst damage builds
  • Invest in gear and skills that reduce boss spawn cooldown or increase attack speed
  • Consider relics or modifiers that boost boss cycle speed

2. How to Farm Effectively (Step-by-Step)

  1. Equip the Baldog loot item
  2. Choose the boss whose materials or equipment you want
  3. Use Ballista + Barbarians as your main damage engines
  4. Idle for 20–30 minutes
  5. Come back to thousands of materials and multiple item drops

With this setup, you can easily walk away with:

  • Legendary items from that boss
  • 5,000+ materials, enough to max upgrade many gear pieces

3. High-Damage Build (Ballista + Barbarians)

Why Ballista and Barbarians?

  • Ballista deals strong, consistent ranged damage that benefits from passive bonuses
  • Barbarians scale well with physical damage, crit boosts, and stacking upgrades
  • Both are autonomous damage sources, ideal for idle farming sessions

Core Items You Need

  • Axe of the Rat – Key damage amplifier for barbarians
  • Arrow of the Bee – Boosts Ballista or projectile efficiency
  • Crystal Stone – Likely enhances elemental synergy or crit chance (depending on current patch)

Important: Avoid gear or buildings that synergize with Birds or Frogs. These won’t support this build and will dilute your efficiency.

Skill Tree Focus

  • Prioritize nodes that boost Barbarian damage, Ballista damage, crit chance, and boss kill speed
  • To unlock the full damage potential shown in reference builds, you’ll need a good amount of crystals from achievements

Make sure you’re completing achievements consistently to unlock higher skill tree potential.

Recommended Strategy for Gold vs. Item Farming

  1. First, use a gold-focused build to accumulate enough wealth for infrastructure and village upgrades
  2. Then, switch to this item/material farming build for pure resource gain
  3. Rotate between the two depending on your current bottleneck (gold or materials)

This build and method will give you one of the most efficient farming loops in Idle Boss Rush:

  • Unlock the Baldog loot item as early as possible
  • Maximize Ballista and Barbarian synergy using the right items and skill paths
  • Target one boss and idle farm with focused builds
  • Rotate between gold builds and material builds based on your needs

Once set up, you’ll be able to stockpile thousands of upgrade materials and gear pieces with minimal effort.

Let the bosses spawn, die, and drop — while you focus on progression.
