Farming for legendary gear and powerful loot in Pixel Blade doesn’t have to be a grind. There’s a highly efficient method that allows you to rack up chests, swords, and even godly-tier gear quickly — and it’s all centered around one key boss: Jon. Whether you’re aiming for Stellars, Imperialists, or Solas, this farming strategy is the fastest way to get stacked without having to run through every single floor. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to farm loot efficiently in Pixel Blade, using the Jon farming reset method. Also check out our Pixel Blade Ultimate Guide, & more guide!
Why This Method Works
Instead of pushing through the entire dungeon and fighting multiple bosses, this method has you defeat Jon — a mid-tier boss — repeatedly. Even though Jon doesn’t give the best loot individually, the speed and consistency of the grind make this method much more rewarding in the long run. You’ll end up with more Royal Chests, weapons, and armor drops per hour than most other approaches.
Step-by-Step Loot Farming Strategy
1. Use Nightmare Mode for Maximum Efficiency
While this method works on any difficulty, Nightmare Mode is where you’ll get the best drop rates. If you’re not familiar with how to clear Nightmare Mode, it’s recommended to check out a separate guide to prep your gear and strategy.
2. Focus Only on Jon
Once you enter the dungeon:
- Make your way through as usual until you reach Jon.
- Don’t push past Jon to deeper floors — that wastes time.
- Take all damage buffs (rage, spirit, crit rate, etc.) early on to make the fight quicker.
- Avoid healing or defense buffs unless necessary — your main goal is speed.
3. Bring High-Damage Weapons
To make this farm efficient, you need to kill Jon quickly. Recommended weapons include:
- Imperialist
- Nightmare Blade
- Shadow Scythe
- Stellar Sword (if available)
Even if you don’t have top-tier weapons, you can still run this method; just expect slightly slower clears.
4. The Reset Trick (Maximizing Your Loot)
After beating Jon:
- DO NOT continue to the next area.
- Instead, press Escape > Respawn > Reset.
- This sends you back to the lobby and you keep all loot you got.
Then:
- Immediately re-enter the dungeon in the same mode.
- Repeat the process: clear to Jon, defeat him, reset.
By repeating this cycle, you speed through runs and stack up loot at an incredibly fast rate.
5. Why It’s So Effective
While Jon may not drop the best gear per run, the volume of chests and items you get more than makes up for it:
- More Royal Chests in less time.
- More overall loot per hour compared to full dungeon clears.
- High chance of Godly chests, thanks to increased repetition.
In short, you’re trading quality-per-run for quantity-per-hour — and it works brilliantly.
If you’re serious about stacking up loot, farming Jon in Nightmare Mode is the most efficient and rewarding method in Pixel Blade right now. With fast resets and consistent rewards, you can grind up powerful gear without spending hours pushing through every stage. Run it smart, bring the right weapons, and you’ll be swimming in Stellars, Solas, and everything in between. Stay sharp and keep farming!
