Travian Oasis Farming: Clearing, Raiding, and Hero XP

What oasis farming gets you

Wild animals guard every unoccupied oasis. Clear them and the tile turns into a farm target with no walls, no returning defenders, and no player to retaliate. The animals come back over time, so the same tile pays out again.

• Cleared oases are repeating targets, not one-off loot.
• The animals carry hero experience, so the same tiles double as a training pool.

An oasis also carries a resource bonus of +25% or +50% for one resource. That bonus goes to whichever village holds the tile, which scan results mark as Occupied. It is a separate mechanic from raiding, and raiding an oasis never gives you its bonus.

Scan the oases around a village

Farms > Oasis Scanning sweeps the map around one village and lists what it finds.

• Under Setup, pick the village that will attack and the farm list that receives the targets. + creates a list inline.
• Set a Radius and press Scan. Set coordinates manually scans around a point instead of a village.
• BONUSES is the tile's resource bonus, ANIMALS is what is standing there, and STATUS says whether it was cleared recently, still has animals, or belongs to a player.
• Open Filters to narrow by distance, animal presence, resource type, and bonus size.
• Hide oases already in farm lists and Skip duplicates when adding stop you from adding the same tile twice.
• Select all free ticks every unoccupied result. Add them with Add to farm list, or use + on a single row.

Tip: Scan from the village that will send the raids, because every distance and travel estimate is measured from it.

Clear the animals safely

Configure on the Clearing Strategy card sets how Vangrd clears animals. The settings apply to every list that clears oases.

• Pick the units under Clear with. The number on each chip is what you have available. Add the + Hero chip to send the hero along.
• Careful only attacks when it wins without losses.
• Balanced tries a zero-loss clear first, then attacks only when the bounty beats the troop losses by the margin.
• Aggressive accepts thin margins.
• The sentence under the presets spells out the current numbers, so read it before you close the modal.
• Advanced exposes the sweep caps, step size, minimum profit margin, and the defense buffer per travel hour. That buffer pads the estimate for animals respawning while your troops are in the air.
• Editing anything under Advanced switches the preset to Custom.

To clear a single tile by hand instead, use Clear animals on its row in the scan results.

Keep them clear

Animals refill a cleared oasis, and a fatal report is usually how you find out. Turn clearing on per village or per list under Farms > Farm Lists.

• Clear oases clears the list oases before each run. Use the farm guide for village and list setup.
• Only if idle for skips oases you cleared within that many minutes.
• Re-clear after fatal reports in the clearing strategy sends another wave once an oasis kills troops.
• Auto-clear oases on casualties on an expanded list row does the same for one list only.

Farm the respawns

Animals return between raids, so match your oasis raid cadence to travel time and clearing needs. Keep oasis targets in their own list when their travel times differ from your player farms. Use Only if idle for to avoid repeating a clear too soon after the last one.

For village timing and list overrides, follow the Travian farm bot guide for farm lists. Use Add to targeted raids for a one-off attack instead of adding the tile to a list.

Level the hero on oases

The Hero Training tab runs a hunting loop over a pool of oases you pick. It sends the hero out, reads the report, and rests it before the next hunt.

Below it, one panel holds every training setting. Each change shows its effect at once, so you can see whether the loop will hunt anything before you leave the page.

• The pill in the title starts and stops the loop. The answer at the top right counts the grounds the hero will hunt with your settings. When the count is 0, the line under it says why, for example Nearest ground is 16 min away.
• The radar puts your training grounds around the hero's village. Green dots go, amber dots are held back by a safety rule, grey dots are too far, and red dots would kill the hero. The dashed circle is how far the hero rides within Max travel, one way.
• Health floor is the health the hero rests below. The loop also skips any fight predicted to end under it.
• Loss per hunt is the most health one hunt may cost. The strip under the sliders shows where each hunt in reach leaves the hero. With the escort off, Solo hunt over the loss limit decides: Skip it holds the hero back, Allow it lets it go.
• Escort sends troops with the hero when none of them would die, so the hunt costs the hero less health. Auto-size picks the counts from the troop types you select, and Fixed counts sends the numbers you set. The line at the bottom says how many hunts the escort joins right now, and why it stays home when it joins none. A slow escort also slows the hero, so fewer grounds fit inside Max travel.
• The recovery tiles revive the hero with a bucket or with village resources, wear your best XP helmet on each hunt, and heal the resting hero with ointments. Each tile shows what you have left in the hero's bag.

Build the pool from Farms > Oasis Scanning with Add to training grounds, one row at a time or in a batch.

• EST. XP is what the loop expects from the animals on that tile. It takes the ground with the best estimated XP per hour first.
• HEALTH COST is the health the hero is predicted to lose on that hunt.
• Goes is in line for a hunt. Too far, Below floor, Over loss limit, and Fatal name the setting or the fight that holds a ground back. Hunting counts down the trip, and Respawning waits until the animals are worth another visit.

Tip: Keep the default Health floor until you have watched a few hunts come home intact, then lower it if you want thinner margins.
