Repeatable Farming Locations

Name	Process	Location
Hacksilver	As with most if not all of the following methods, this is performed by defeating the majority of the enemies in a single group and collecting any drops. Then by going into the menu and selecting "restart from checkpoint" All items, materials, and money collected from the battle will be retained in your inventory but the enemies will be back. Repeat this process until you have acquired the amount you want. Be warned that defeating all of the enemies in the group will make this an invalid farming location for the near future. I am currently unaware if enemies respawn later in the game.	N/A.
Enchanted Dust/World Serpent Scales	Enchanted dust is primarily acquired by selling enchantments to Brok and Sindri. Both enchantments and world serpent scales are dropped by a mace wielding enemy at the Cliffs of the Raven. It is ideal to farm this location prior to speaking with the world serpent a second time as this greatly increases travel time to this enemy. Once on the shore, have Atreus read the tome to activate the torch. Following the cliffside to the left there is a platform where Atreus could throw down a chain. From this platform the enemy will jump down. Kill him and use the "restart from checkpoint" method listed above.	Lake of Nine/Cliffs of the Raven.
Solid Svartalfheim Steel	Just before reaching Sindri's shop at Thamur's corpse. There is a fight just after lifting a rock and walking under it. There will be two trolls that attack you during this fight, kill only one of the trolls then use the "restart checkpoint" method listed above.	Thamur's corpse.
Hardened Svartalfheim Steel	After acquiring the black rune in Tyr's Vault you will be forced to fight two creatures named Grendel. Kill only one of them and use the "restart checkpoint" method listed above.	Tyr's Vault.
