Idle Guild Master: Infernite in D11 / Lost Lands — What Players Say

Players on r/IdleGuildMaster describe how they farm Infernite, and disagree on several points. This page puts their comments side by side, with dates and a link to each quoted comment, and keeps three eras apart. It is a sample of one community, not a verified guide.

I like these games and play them myself. Complete guides are hard to find online, so while playing I collect community experience from Reddit and put this site together—hoping it helps. Thank you.

Quick answer

Community Knowledge u/mebell333 (2025-08-22, era B, comment na1jwti) wrote: You have to let the shaman guy cast his spell to summon it. The summon drops infernite.[1] The cited players then disagree on whether the shaman may be killed, whether the Balrog should wear a lifesteal staff, Knowledge or Illusion, and how much Infernite it yields (see Where players disagree). Counted by script (see Counts), “Balrog” appears in 89 of the 262 comments that mention D11, Lost Lands or Infernite, written by 43 authors; a mention is not an endorsement. Two comments in one 2026 thread: u/Dry_Category3955 (2026-08-10, era C, comment p2t1l5q) writes: If you hit harder, he dies early and you don't get the spawn.[2] u/Educational-Fun3513 (2026-08-10, era C, comment p2txxoj) wrote: If you kill the shaman, that's ok. The ritual doesn't stop, it only stops when you die[2]

Scope, names, eras & game versions

This page covers only what named players wrote about farming Infernite in the area they call D11 or Lost Lands in Guild Master - Idle Dungeons (community name: Idle Guild Master). It uses a topic-selected re-collection of r/IdleGuildMaster (3908 threads: 3901 from r/IdleGuildMaster and 7 from r/incremental_games; 25233 comments), collected via the Arctic Shift archive on 2026-10-04; threads without the selection keywords may be missing. Every quote is matched against that collection by an automated test, line breaks included; author, date and score come from the collection. Nothing here was checked in the game.

Community Knowledge Names. This page uses the names each commenter used and equates two names only where a quoted commenter does: u/tmtowtdi (2025-06-30, era B, comment n0iw0c6) writes: D11 - Lost Lands.[3] u/apekillape (2025-05-06, era A, comment mqyta2g) writes: the Dodge Balrog I had for farming Lost Lands (D11)[4] A thread title uses a third name: u/Substantial-Habit883 (2025-03-18, era A, post 1je5fds) titled a post: Best Team and Build for D11 LOST CITY ?[5] The enemies are named differently too (table below). Within one comment, oiycxnb links the “Stone Shaman” to the “Smoldering Titan”; this page does not equate names across threads.

Five threads; names as written

u/mebell333, 2025-08-22, era B, comment na1jwti:

u/ion_driver, 2026-09-27, era C, comment pcdx296:

u/Desperate_Box, 2025-05-27, era B, comment mul3wrf:

u/LanceAbbott, 2025-04-16, era A, comment mnhbjg3:
the balrog kill the miniboss or whatever that the ritual spawns[8]

u/rlaughne, 2026-04-29, era C, comment oiycxnb:
If your damage is too high, you'll kill the Stone Shaman before it can compete the ritual and summon the Smoldering Titan.[9]

The game changes, so every date carries an era:

  • Era A: up to 2025-05-15. Includes the release of Lost Lands.
  • Era B: 2025-05-16 to 2025-09-25. Developer version notes exist in the collection for this period.
  • Era C: from 2025-09-26. The newest version note in the collection is version 2.134 (2025-09-25), so era C comments carry no game version.

Version-sensitive u/Paranoid-Squirrels (2025-03-01, era A, post 1j11l7o) wrote: In this update i released the Lost Lands, a new dungeon after the Hidden City of Larox.[10]

Labels: Community Knowledge what a named player wrote; Version-sensitive a version-note line tied to a date. Non-English quotes are given in the original with a literal English translation labelled “(translation by MiniMeta, not verified by the author)”. Where the collection has no statement, this page writes “limited sample”.

Counts

Community Knowledge Script-computed mention counts. Scope: the 262 comments (in 188 threads, by 86 authors) whose own text contains “D11”, “Infernite” or “Lost Lands”. An item is “mentioned” when its name appears in such a comment, including negative or dismissive mentions.

The counts are neither exact nor a ceiling: ordinary words and spelling variants change the result, comments that use none of the three scope words are not counted, and some comments quoted on this page are outside the scope. They say how often a name was mentioned, not what works.

Where players disagree

Each table puts comments side by side with author, date, era and comment link (the link goes to the permalink table under Sources).

How much progress does the ritual make?

Three threads; comments dated 2025-03-04 to 2026-09-27. The figures are as written (“1\~5%” and “\[stone shaman\]” keep the backslashes of the original)
Era A (2025-03)Era B (2025-07)Era C (2026-09)

u/ReportBig7318, 2025-03-04, era A, comment mfvyq5p:
enermy \[stone shaman\]'s active skill advances the Fire Ritual progress 1\~5%.[11]

u/Adventurous-Move4042, 2025-07-02, era B, comment n0v1hj4:
You need to wait for the Stone Shaman to use its skill at 100% with 1% per successful use.[3]

u/ion_driver, 2026-09-27, era C, comment pcdx296:
The fire shaman needs to cast 100 spells to summon the mob that drops this.[6]

May the shaman be killed?

Three threads; comments dated 2025-04-16 to 2026-08-10. p2txxoj and p2t1l5q are in one thread on the same day; n5cfqrr answers the question “Why in D11 more int = bad farm?” asked by another commenter in the same thread
Warns that a dead shaman means no summonSays the shaman does not dieSays killing him is ok

u/Zestyclose_Ask8837, 2025-07-26, era B, comment n5cfqrr:
Because u'll kill the shaman too fast, and he will not be able to summon the boss.[12]

u/Dry_Category3955, 2026-08-10, era C, comment p2t1l5q:
If you hit harder, he dies early and you don't get the spawn.[2]

u/LanceAbbott, 2025-04-16, era A, comment mnhbjg3:
balrog wont kill the shaman and the shaman wont die because of the healing so you hit 100% ritual and then the balrog kill the miniboss or whatever that the ritual spawns.[8]

u/Educational-Fun3513, 2026-08-10, era C, comment p2txxoj:
If you kill the shaman, that's ok. The ritual doesn't stop, it only stops when you die[2]

What resets the ritual, and what carries over?

Three threads; comments dated 2025-06-23 to 2026-09-28. The two columns answer different questions, so this table does not show a direct contradiction. mzali0p replies to the question quoted from post 1liaufc; pclr28h replies to pclprif; the Russian comment replies to a Russian comment in the thread “How to farm?”
A question and a reply about a deathStatements and a question about progress carrying over

u/blacksword2013, 2025-06-23, era B, post 1liaufc:
Just want to ask if the fire ritual resets if balrog dies before it was completed[13]

u/Dry_Parfait_9244, 2025-06-23, era B, comment mzali0p:
Yes[13]

u/Critical_Bag3037, 2026-02-14, era C, comment o5aqtx1:
The ritual progress carries over between fights so you need to let each one get some progress, but kill them before the game resets or you die[14]

u/Pristine-Fan-8433, 2026-09-28, era C, comment pck1vw5:
Ритуал переносится “The ritual is transferred.” (translation by MiniMeta, not verified by the author)[6]

u/Rough-Disaster3445, 2026-09-28, era C, comment pclprif:
pero tiene q ser el mismo chamán sin matarlo o pueden ser varios chamanes y se va acumulando ? “but does it have to be the same shaman without killing him or can it be several shamans and it keeps accumulating?” (translation by MiniMeta, not verified by the author)[6]

u/ion_driver, 2026-09-28, era C, comment pclr28h:
It keeps accumulating as long as you dont interrupt it. It just takes a long time.[6]

A Balrog alone or a full team?

Three threads; comments dated 2025-05-27 to 2026-07-20. The two columns name different goals; mul3wrf is about pterodactyl claws and mentions Infernite only as the cost of a full team
A Balrog alone, for InferniteA full team, for pterodactyl claws

u/Mamaung11, 2025-09-21, era B, comment nffq3fe:
You can easy farming with only balrog[15]

u/rlaughne, 2026-07-20, era C, comment oyomztj:
Balrog's by far my go to for farming infernite.[16]

u/Desperate_Box, 2025-05-27, era B, comment mul3wrf:
Balrog is not good for getting pterodactyl claws because it gets stuck on the stone shaman. It's faster with a full team, though you lose out on infernite.[7]

Vampire staff or no staff?

Four threads; comments dated 2025-03-08 to 2026-09-09. p8p54d5 and p8qtbx8 both choose “the second one” (a choice between options in the original post); p8pq6hn replies in a chain that begins with the same author’s comment p8pcjp6 about the first Balrog, so these are not answers to one identical question. mgnicqu answers a question (“What in the world. What's the gear/pet for that?”) and does not say whose Balrog it describes. Item names are as each commenter wrote them (“lifesteal scepter”, “Vampiric Staff”, “vampire staff”, “Vampire Sceptor”, “Crimson Leach”)
Uses the lifesteal staff or scepterNo staff, or a weaker one

u/apekillape, 2025-08-25, era B, comment nakgcor:
Put in your Balrog with the lifesteal scepter, dodge robe and dodge boots.[17]

u/Pristine-Fan-8433, 2026-09-09, era C, comment p8p54d5:
Balrog: Definitely the second one, as he doesn't ascended yet (still requires lv40 tho). Must be equipped with Vampiric Staff, Fleetfoot Robe and Bleak Boots;[18]

u/Educational-Fun3513, 2026-09-09, era C, comment p8qtbx8:
Second one. Use vampire staff, dodge robe dodge boots and you're good to go.[18]

u/Bllltz, 2025-03-08, era A, comment mgnicqu:
No Staff + T8 dodge rope + R4 dodge boot.

He's using a decoy pet.[19]

u/rlaughne, 2026-04-29, era C, comment oiycxnb:
For my Balrog, that's why I went with Crimson Leach instead of Vampire Sceptor, too lower my Int/damage.[9]

u/Fomor666, 2026-09-09, era C, comment p8pq6hn:
You could do without a staff entirely, but unfortunately, your pets lack the "Bloodthirsty" skill. Of course, you could use a Vampiric Staff, but it is too powerful, and the shamans would die too quickly.[18]

Knowledge or Illusion?

Three threads; comments dated 2025-07-26 to 2026-09-09. The Knowledge column shows a question and its answer (p8pqsw8, p8pyqk8; a different commenter asks, u/Fomor666 answers), then oiycxnb from a thread where oitzmkp is also quoted
IllusionKnowledge

u/Zestyclose_Ask8837, 2025-07-26, era B, comment n59utug:
I'm not trolling. I have 3 balrogs, 1 with illusion for D11, the other 2 are knowledge.
Balrog with illusion was the best for D11.[12]

u/Disastrous-Canary378, 2026-04-28, era C, comment oitzmkp:
My ascended balrog finally succeeded at times when I gave him illusion doctrine (dex, dodge, damage null).[9]

u/HuntRoger, 2026-09-09, era C, comment p8pqsw8:
If i chance doctrine knowledge to illusion can be work or not worth.[18]

u/Fomor666, 2026-09-09, era C, comment p8pyqk8:
It's not worth it; the Doctrine of Knowledge is more reliable for farming Infernite (evasion is still RNG-based, after all).[18]

u/rlaughne, 2026-04-29, era C, comment oiycxnb:
Ascended Balrog is best for it IMO. Mine has Doctrine of Knowledge with Crimson Leach, Fleetfoot Robe, and Bleak Boots.[9]

How much Infernite?

Different units (per day, per hour, per trip), set-ups and eras; the figures are not comparable with each other. nfgetuy and nfgoaon are in one thread; “ores” is the commenter’s word
Era A (2025-04-16)Era B (2025-09-21)Era C (2025-12 to 2026-09)

u/Hikki77, 2025-04-16, era A, comment mnc7ean:
just know that you'll get 20-30 infernite daily from this[8]

u/Key-Speed-2688, 2025-09-21, era B, comment nfgetuy:
Balrog was able to pull between 2 to 3 infernite per hour iirc.[15]

u/DeadPhish, 2025-09-21, era B, comment nfgoaon:
maybe I'm doing something very wrong but my rogs with same gear etc as seen on posts here generate maybe 5-10 ores a day.[15]

u/Alauzhen, 2025-12-12, era C, comment ntnqcsr:
I find the Divine Champion gets me 5-12 infernites daily.[20]

u/Dry_Category3955, 2026-08-10, era C, comment p2t1l5q:
3 infernite per hour is ok.[2]

u/Educational-Fun3513, 2026-09-09, era C, comment p8qtbx8:
Last time I checked I got around 300 infernit in one trip[18]

Single statements

Statements shown without a side-by-side partner (limited sample):

  • Community Knowledge What it is for (era C): u/Fomor666 (2026-09-06, era C, comment p83ns7u) writes: Farming infernite in D11 is the most important thing for crafting chakrams and upgrading cursed bows.[21]

What this page cannot tell you

  • The yield figures above are what the named players wrote, in different units; this page did not check them.
  • The 17 quoted era C comments come from 11 authors; u/Fomor666 wrote 3 of them. They are not independent votes.
  • Era C carries no game version; if the game changed after 2025-09-25, some newer statements may no longer apply.
  • The collection has no developer statement on what resets the ritual or how its progress carries over.
  • This page has no recommendation of its own. It lists who said what and when.
