There are 2 Armor Enchantments that are recommended to have for this trick, Thorns and Final Shout.
Thorns is not needed for this trick to work, but will be a huge help to it. While you are away and the mobs start attacking you, you can deal damage and even defeat them just by getting attacked. This will help with the farming.
Final Shout is one of the core requirements for this trick. This will activate all your Artifacts when you reach low health ignoring cooldowns. This will make sure you stay alive and you have your pets to continue attacking.
You will need 3 specific Artifacts for this trick to work. You will need a Tasty Bone, Wonderful Wheat and Totem of Regeneration. These Artifacts are necessary for the trick to work.
These Artifacts are needed to summon pets that will be doing most of the damage while you are away from the game. The wolf and the llama are going to be fighting mobs and farm the Emeralds.
This Artifact will ensure you are alive while your pets farm. With Final Shout you will always activate this and get your health back up without you needing to do anything. Perfect for the AFK farm trick.
For this trick to work you will need to head to Pumpkin Pastures, its important to choose this mission due to it having the best spot for this trick to work. You will also need to choose the right mission difficulty for it to work.
Choosing the right mission difficulty is important for this trick. You will need to choose a difficult lower than the recommended difficulty, this will make sure that you will stay alive while you are AFK farming. A good place to start is 2-3 difficulty below the recommended.
This is the reason why this trick is not good for Unique farming immediately, but with the Emeralds, you get you can farm them at the Blacksmith.
The trick requires you to be in a specific spot to continue farming while you are AFK. In the drawbridge area after surviving the ambush, you will need to press two switches to drop the bridge. In this area, you ignore the switches and stand in the middle. You will need to do the trick here as it is the only area that indefinitely spawns mobs.

After you get to the right location with the right setup you can simply just leave the game running and forget about the game till later. You can either summon your pets and leave or just leave right away. Either way, when you get low health you will summon them and the Totem of Regeneration to heal back up. This will continue repeating until you come back to pick up all the loot!
