How does the AFK farming exploit actually work in Diablo Immortal? Can you even farm AFK and is it really worth it? Anyone who has been following the news about Diablo Immortal in the last few days may have also heard about the “spoon” trick that some players are currently using to farm experience points and gear. We have created a short summary here of what this is all about and why the first players are now being banned for “afk farming”.

AFK farming with spoon trick
The “spoon” trick in Diablo Immortal involves players simply placing a spoon on the virtual attack button. Since the player is “on the move,” you won’t be kicked off the server for inactivity. If you stand in an area with weak monsters and adjust your position so that enemies keep spawning nearby, you can farm AFK in Diablo Immortal. Although you get relatively few experience points due to the weak monsters, it’s the mass that counts and since you’re AFK anyway, it doesn’t play a big role.
Bots and other AFK farmers will be banned
In addition to the “spoon” trick, there are some “AFK farmers” who use autoclickers or other bots that are available online just a few days after the release of Diablo Immortal. If you believe the reports on Reddit and in… official Blizzard forum, then in the last few days some players have been banned for AFK farming with such tools. It is not yet known whether there were any players who farmed a little using the spoon trick.
We can only advise against using any tools or macros to farm AFK if you care about the account. If you fall into the sights of bot detection and are banned, your account and all game progress will usually be gone permanently.
