If your group breaks up, the smoothest solo classes are Ranger (9.5/10 solo — pet tank + bow kite) and Warrior (8/10 solo — highest sustain). See the class tier list for solo vs group scoring.
FAQ — Farever co-op
How do you play co-op in Farever?
Press P to open the party menu, then click "Invite Friend" and select from your Steam friends list. The host's world becomes the party instance. Invited players keep their own character progression — only loot and quest drops are personal.
What is the max party size in Farever?
Four players. Solo, duo, trio and full 4-stack are all viable. The world dynamically scales enemy HP based on party size, so larger parties do not trivialize content.
Does Farever support crossplay?
No, not yet. Farever is PC-only in May 2026 EA. Crossplay is on the roadmap for the eventual console release (see /console/).
How does scaling work in Farever co-op?
Enemy HP scales linearly with party size: ×1.0 solo, ×1.6 duo, ×2.3 trio, ×3.0 four-player. Boss damage scales less aggressively (×1.0 / ×1.2 / ×1.4 / ×1.6). Loot drop count also scales — each player gets a personal roll.
Best classes for Farever co-op?
The meta 4-stack is Warrior tank + Mystic support + Mage DPS + Ranger flex utility. Warrior holds stagger, Mystic heals and buffs, Mage out-DPSes everyone, Ranger handles trash mobs and crowd control.
Best Farever co-op team comp?
Trio: Warrior + Mystic + Mage (clears every EA dungeon comfortably). Four-stack: add a Ranger for hard mode utility. Two-Warrior comps work but sacrifice damage ceiling.
Can you do dungeons solo in Farever?
Yes, all dungeons have a solo difficulty option. Hard mode versions are designed for 3–4 players and gate the S-tier drops. Solo viability is highest for Ranger and Warrior.
Does Farever have matchmaking?
No public matchmaking. You must invite via Steam friends list or use community Discord LFG channels. Discord LFG is the EA standard right now.
How does loot work in co-op Farever?
Personal loot. Each player rolls independently — no need-vs-greed, no ninja looting. Boss drops give one guaranteed item per player on first clear of the day.
Does friendly fire exist in Farever?
No. Player abilities cannot damage party members. AoE spells freely target your own positioning without worrying about teammates.
