Play explore on Darkstone, you’ll definitely catch the Darkstone troops there.

Thought this question was leading to some kind of joke. Anyhow here is a summary of your farming options. I would not consider Exploring other Kingdoms or PvP as “farming methods” but you will receive a few Event stones occasionally from those activities.

**Explore**  **Darkstone**

- Tiny bit harder than Challenges (random factor)

- 10x the gold reward as Challenges. (Still low vs PvP)
- x2-x3 chance for high quality Traitstones

- Only see around 2-2.5 average Darkstone troops per battle

**Challenge**  **Darkstone**

- Slightly easier explore
- Guaranteed 3 Darkstone troops per battle (C1-2)

- Base Traitstones chance
- Absolutely Abysmal Gold

Some players (like me) will put up a defence team of all Darkstone troops this week, so you have a chance of finding some in PVP as well, but over the last couple weeks, I’d say it is maybe 10% of the time that one of my 3 options will fit the event.

Thanks for the advice guys, pretty new to the game so had not done story @darkstone which netted me about 70, moving on to challenges now
