[ GAMING ][ DEGEN ECONOMY ]
Repeatedly targeting a specific resource, enemy, or event to accumulate a large amount of something, distinct from general grinding by being focused on one specific repeatable target.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Farming that same enemy for an hour just for a chance at the rare drop."
LORE & ORIGIN
Borrowed the agricultural metaphor once players started deliberately cultivating the same repeatable resource source over and over rather than grinding broadly.
