Guide to Farming Free Diamonds in Lineage 2M 2025

This time, we will discuss one of the most sought-after topics by free-to-play players: how to farm free Diamonds in Lineage 2M. For those of you who want to play without top-ups but can still craft, buy items on the market, and upgrade gear, this article is a must-read.

What is a Diamond in Lineage 2M?

Diamond is one of the premium currencies in the Lineage 2M game that can be used for various things:

Buy items in the Market (player market)

Buy gear/materials from other players

Upgrade Codex

Unlock additional content such as the Battle Pass

And others

Usually, Lineage 2M Diamonds are obtained through top-ups. But with the right strategy, you can collect free Diamonds just by playing smartly.

Method 1: AFK Farming in Dungeon + Selling in Market

Choose an Efficient Dungeon

AFK in dungeons is the easiest way to farm items/materials consistently. One of the dungeons I recommend is Kruma Tower because the drop items are quite good for crafting. For example, you can get:

Clot

Quality Leather

Rare Cloth

Ore and other green items that are useful for low to mid-tier gear

The materials you collect from AFK farming can later be crafted into equipment or sold directly.

Craft Equipment → Sell on the Market

For example, you have a lot of Cloth materials. Instead of just letting it sit, it's better to craft it into green gear. Even though it's just regular gear, on an active server like Bar 4, these items are still sellable.

For example:

You craft 4 green helmets → sell them individually for 2.5 Diamonds

If they all sell, you get 10 Diamonds just from items that you consider "trash"

This is the advantage of farming through dungeons: you get materials without capital, then you can turn them into Diamonds!

Additional Tips:

Check the Market Regularly. See what items are selling well and adjust your crafting.

Take advantage of Adena. If you're lazy about farming certain items, use Adena for crafting → sell → turning again to buy more important materials.

Use materials that pile up. So that your storage doesn't fill up and you make money.

Method 2: Upgrade “Trash” Gear to High Plus → Sell High

If you like to try your luck aka “gacha gear,” this strategy is perfect for you.

Basic Principles:

1. Take the remaining gear from farming, especially the green ones.

2. Upgrade/Enchant until +6 to +9.

3. Sell to the Market!

For example, you have a green bow +5, you upgrade it again and make it to +8. Did you know? In the market, +8 gear can be sold for up to 500 Diamonds if the stats are interesting (for example, increasing DEX, accuracy, or effects that certain builds are looking for such as Ranger or Assassin).

Focus on Equipment that:

Is needed for Codex

Provides specific stats that players are looking for (DEX, INT, P. Accuracy, M. Evasion)

Still low tier (so it's easy to upgrade and cheap at the start)

Don't just enchant all items. Choose items that have the potential to be bought by other players. Sometimes “trash” gear can turn into “treasure” if successfully upgraded to a high level.

Method 3: Market Manipulation — Smart Buy and Sell

Lineage 2M Market is your main place to:

Sell farming materials or equipment

Buy essential materials for crafting gear or the Codex

Smart Tricks:

Craft items from cheap materials → sell them for high prices in the Market

Use the proceeds to buy rare materials

Avoid crafting rare materials from the start because the crafting costs can be expensive

Losing a little Adena is better than losing Diamonds

Example:

You have 20 Cloth materials → Craft them into 4 Green Armors → Sell them for 2.5 Diamonds each

Proceeds = 10 Diamonds → Buy 4 Quality Leathers needed for essential gear

Initial crafting costs = only time and Adena → Profit in the form of rare materials

With this system, you can continue to rotate capital from farming results without having to spend real money.

Method 4: Gacha Codex Items or Rare Materials

Codex in Lineage 2M can be very important to boost your character's stats, and sometimes you'll get Codex items from farming. But if you're lucky, you can also:

Sell Codex Items to the Market

The price can be very high depending on the effect

For example:

You drop a Codex item that gives DEX +2

Or a rare Codex item that only drops from bosses

This can be valued at hundreds of Diamonds by players who are focusing on a certain build

If you don't need the stats, just sell it to the Market. You can use the proceeds to buy a Codex that suits your build.

Method 5: Create Equipment + Codex Combo

Sometimes you'll craft equipment that:

Sells well

Can be used for Codex

Or even both!

If the equipment you sell doesn't sell, turn it into Codex material. This system means that no one loses in Lineage 2M. Even failed upgrade items can still be used to progress your character.

Method 6: Top Up (Optional for Sultans)

If you want an instant way, of course top-up is the fastest solution. But I don't recommend it unless you want to support the game or want to speed up progress.

The most worthwhile top-ups are usually:

Battle Pass (get lots of bonuses)

Event promos

Buy Diamonds during bundle discounts or cashback events

But remember, this guide focuses on those who want to play for free. So stay wise!

Conclusion

Farming free Diamonds in Lineage 2M is not impossible, as long as you know how. Use a combination of:

1. AFK farming in dungeons

2. Craft gear from abundant materials

3. Sell items in the Market

4. Enchant gear for Diamond gacha

5. Take advantage of the Codex and upgrade system

6. Play smart in the market, not just crafting

With this method, you can produce Diamonds stably and even build a complete gear set without a top-up. I personally have made all the sets I need with this method and the results are satisfying. The important thing in Lineage 2M is patience, consistency, and market strategy.
