Best Gold-Farming Class in Vampires vs. Werewolves

Q: What is the best gold-farming class in Vampires vs. Werewolves?

The Blood Mage is the best gold-farming class. Its AoE nuke wipes entire trash packs in one cast, and its life-drain means it almost never stops to recover, giving it the highest clears per hour in the game. Efficient farming is about low downtime, and no class downtime beats the Blood Mage.

Q: What actually determines farming efficiency?

Clears per hour, not peak damage on a single target. The best farmers combine fast AoE that kills whole packs at once with low downtime — no stopping to heal, drink, or recover between pulls. A class that clears slightly slower but never dies or rests often out-earns a faster, fragile class in a real session.

Q: Is the Berserker good for farming?

Yes — the Berserker is the best farming Werewolf pick and a close second overall. It can aggro huge groups safely thanks to its high HP and sustains through them as its damage scales up while low, so it pulls wider than fragile classes and rarely dies mid-route. Excellent for AoE-heavy farm circuits.

Q: Can a fragile class like the Shadow Assassin farm well?

Only in short bursts. The Shadow Assassin clears individual trash quickly, but it cannot pull wide groups safely and has no self-healing, so it stops often and dies to bad pulls. Deaths and downtime cripple its clears-per-hour, leaving it well behind the sustain classes for real farming sessions.

Q: Which class is worst for gold farming?

The Pack Shaman. Its power lives in group-buffing totems that do nothing for a solo farmer, and its personal burst is weak, so it clears trash slowly. It farms far better inside a coordinated group than alone. For solo gold-per-hour it is the least efficient pick.

Q: Does gear matter more than class for farming?

Both matter, and they compound. A strong farming class with good AoE gear snowballs — faster clears buy more gear, which enables faster clears. Because the game follows a Fair Play Guarantee with no power purchases, every bit of that gear is earned in-game, so your class choice and farm route decide income, not your wallet.

Q: Should I respec into a dedicated farming build?

Yes. You can freely re-allocate your skill tree at any rest point, so keep a farming tree that maximises AoE and sustain separate from your PvP or boss build. Draft it on the skill tree planner, then use the gold-farming calculator to compare routes and estimate your gold per hour before you commit.

Q: Where should I farm once I have the right class?

Target dense, low-resistance trash packs you can clear without dying, and widen your pulls as your gear improves. The gold farming guide maps the most efficient routes by level, and the gold-farming calculator and loot-value calculator help you work out which route pays best for your class and gear.

Want the fastest gold per hour? Farming efficiency is about clears per hour and downtime, not peak damage. These ranked picks wipe whole packs and never stop to recover — with clear reasoning, a full tier table, and route tips to maximise your income.

Last updated: July 2026 · Ranked by clears per hour and downtime

What drives farming efficiency

Farming income comes down to one number: clears per hour. The best farmers pair fast AoE that kills a whole pack in one cast with near-zero downtime — no stopping to heal, drink, or recover between pulls. A class that clears slightly slower but never dies or rests will out-earn a faster, fragile class over a real session, because deaths and pauses compound across the hour.

That is why AoE and self-sustain beat single-target burst for farming. Because the game follows a Fair Play Guarantee with no power purchases, every bit of gear that speeds your farm is earned in-game — your class and route decide income, not your wallet. Plan a farming tree on the skill tree planner, then estimate returns with the gold-farming calculator before you commit.

Ranked farming class table

Ordered by gold per hour — a blend of AoE clear speed, pull width, and downtime. This differs from the arena order on the best PvP class page, because farming rewards sustained AoE rather than single-target burst.

Gold-farming class recommendations, ranked best to worst by clears per hour.
Rank	Class	Faction	Farming grade	Why it ranks here
1	Blood Mage	Vampire	S	AoE nuke wipes whole packs and life-drain removes downtime — the highest clears per hour in the game.
2	Berserker	Werewolf	A	Aggros huge groups safely and sustains through them; pulls wider than fragile classes and rarely dies mid-route.
3	Moon Warrior	Werewolf	B	Balanced AoE and durability farm steadily with low risk, if without the raw clear speed of the top two.
4	Dark Knight	Vampire	B	Never dies on any route, but low damage slows clears — safe and consistent rather than fast.
5	Shadow Assassin	Vampire	C	Kills single trash fast but can't pull wide and has no self-healing — deaths and downtime tank its per-hour.
6	Pack Shaman	Werewolf	C	Group-buff totems do nothing solo and personal burst is weak; slow trash clears. Farms best inside a group.

Top picks explained

#1Blood MageVampire · S tier

The Blood Mage is the undisputed best gold farmer. Its AoE nuke deletes an entire trash pack in a single cast, and its life-drain refills its health as it kills, so it moves from pull to pull with essentially no pauses. That combination of one-cast clears and zero downtime gives it the highest clears per hour in the game — and the more you farm, the faster its gear lets you farm.

#2BerserkerWerewolf · A tier

The Berserker is the top Werewolf farmer and a close overall second. Its deep HP pool lets it aggro huge groups safely, and its self-scaling damage sustains it through them, so it pulls wider than any fragile class and almost never dies mid-route. On AoE-heavy circuits where survivability lets you gather more enemies at once, it can rival the Blood Mage's throughput.

#3Moon WarriorWerewolf · B tier

The Moon Warrior is the steady, low-risk earner. Balanced AoE and durability let it farm comfortably without the deaths that plague fragile classes, making it a reliable choice for long, relaxed sessions. It lacks the explosive clear speed of the top two, but its consistency and forgiveness make it a dependable gold source, especially for newer players.

Best farming class by faction

Best Vampire farming class

The Blood Mage is the best gold farmer in the game, full stop, and the clear Vampire pick. If you value zero deaths over raw speed, the Dark Knight farms any route safely, just more slowly. Skip the Shadow Assassin for dedicated farming.

Best Werewolf farming class

The Berserker is the top Werewolf farmer — wide, safe pulls and no downtime. The Moon Warrior is the steadier, lower-risk alternative. Save the Pack Shaman for group farming, where its totems finally earn their keep. Comparing factions first? See the race tier list.

Route & build tips

Build for AoE and sustain, then let your route do the rest. Prioritise the pack-clearing and life-drain nodes on your farming tree, target dense low-resistance trash you can kill without dying, and widen your pulls as your gear improves — a Blood Mage that reliably one-casts a bigger pack scales its gold per hour dramatically.

Keep a dedicated farming spec separate from your PvP or boss build; you can freely re-allocate your skill tree at a rest point whenever you switch activities. Before you settle on a route, run the numbers with the gold-farming calculator and price your drops with the loot-value calculator, and follow the mapped circuits in the gold farming guide for the highest yield at your level.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best gold-farming class in Vampires vs. Werewolves?

The Blood Mage. Its AoE nuke wipes entire trash packs in one cast and its life-drain removes downtime, giving it the highest clears per hour in the game.

What actually determines farming efficiency?

Clears per hour, not single-target damage. The best farmers combine fast AoE that kills whole packs with low downtime. A slower but death-free class often out-earns a faster, fragile one.

Is AoE or single-target better for farming?

AoE, by a wide margin. Farming income comes from clearing many low-value enemies quickly, so one-cast pack clears beat single-target burst even when the burst hits harder per target.

Is the Berserker good for farming?

Yes — the best farming Werewolf pick and a close second overall. It aggros huge groups safely and sustains through them, pulling wider than fragile classes and rarely dying mid-route.

Why does downtime matter so much when farming?

Because it compounds. A few seconds of recovery after every pull adds up over a session. Self-sustaining classes keep moving pack to pack, completing many more clears per hour.

Can a fragile class like the Shadow Assassin farm well?

Only in short bursts. It clears single trash fast but can't pull wide and has no self-healing, so it stops often and dies to bad pulls — crippling its clears per hour.

Which class is worst for gold farming?

The Pack Shaman. Its group-buff totems do nothing solo and its personal burst is weak, so it clears trash slowly. It farms far better inside a coordinated group.

Does gear matter more than class for farming?

Both matter and compound — faster clears buy more gear, which enables faster clears. With no power purchases under the Fair Play Guarantee, class and route decide income, not spending.

Should I respec into a dedicated farming build?

Yes. Re-allocate your skill tree freely at any rest point to keep an AoE-and-sustain farming tree. Draft it on the skill tree planner and compare routes on the gold-farming calculator.

Where should I farm once I have the right class?

Target dense, low-resistance trash you can clear without dying, widening pulls as gear improves. The gold farming guide maps the best routes by level.

How do farming rankings differ from PvP rankings?

Farming rewards AoE and zero downtime, so Blood Mage and Berserker lead; PvP rewards single-target burst, so the Shadow Assassin tops that list. Match your pick to the activity.
