What is there to do in Honeycomb Fields?
| Place | Type | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Farms and fields | Quest area | The farmer's quest sends you across open farmland. Quest sites tend to be empty until you accept the job. |
| Beehives | Quest area | A hive-relocation quest here gives extra rewards on top of the normal payout. |
| The rift site | Story area | Where the Grand Illusioner opens a rift and empowered mobs pour out. Clearing the council fight later opens the way to the Sift. |
Which mobs live in Honeycomb Fields?
| Mob | Behavior | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Creeper | Hostile | Wanders the fields, and its exploding cousins are the reason for the candle quest. |
| Candlemaker | Passive | Named as native to Honeycomb Fields. |
| Grand Illusioner | Hostile | Council member whose rift starts the farmer quest. |
| Empowered blue mobs | Hostile | Very tanky. Players report melee barely scratching them. |
Which bosses are in Honeycomb Fields?
| Boss | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Random mini-boss spawns | Roaming mini-bosses appear on the map, and one player fought an Enderman here that vanished mid-fight. The named boss list has nothing fixed for this region. |
Which quests matter in Honeycomb Fields?
| Quest or NPC | What it does |
|---|---|
| Farmer quest | The Grand Illusioner opens a rift and empowered mobs attack the farm. This is the usual introduction to blue enemies. |
| Creeper Candles | Defuse the lit candles. The Blowout achievement is tied to this, and the quest grants the Creeper Candle artifact. |
| Beehive relocation | Move the hive for an extra reward. |
What is worth farming in Honeycomb Fields?
| Loot | Notes |
|---|---|
| Creeper Candle | Artifact that places a candle which explodes after a short fuse. Costs 25 souls with a 5 second cooldown. |
| Echo shards | Empowered mobs drop the first shards here. Merchants use them to level up and re-roll gear. |
What do players tell you to do in Honeycomb Fields?
- Pick up quests before you wander. A quest's target area is usually empty until you have accepted it, so exploring first wastes the trip.
- Use ranged weapons on blue mobs and keep your distance. A group of four found the only way to hurt them was with arrows and rockets.
- The Honey artifact releases bees that also slow an Enderman, which is handy if you meet one.
- Spend emeralds as you find them. The cap is 9999 and anything over it is lost.
