If you’re playing Roblox Pet Simulator 170 and want to get ahead fast, finding the most efficient grinding spots for diamonds is your best move. Diamonds let you buy better pets, upgrade gear, and unlock areas that speed up progress so wasting time in low-yield zones slows everything down.

Where should you grind for diamonds right now?

The top spot changes slightly with updates, but as of the latest gameplay patch, the Ancient Temple area remains one of the highest diamond-per-minute zones. It’s packed with breakable objects that respawn quickly, and if you’ve got a pet with Area Damage or Multi-Hit, you’ll clear waves faster than anywhere else.

Another solid option is the Frozen Caves. Less crowded than the Temple, it offers consistent spawns and fewer players competing for loot. If you’re solo grinding or prefer quieter zones, this is worth checking out. You can also combine it with coin farming more on hidden coin spots here.

What makes a spot “efficient”?

It’s not just about raw diamond drops. Efficiency means:

  • Fast respawn rates on breakables or enemies
  • Low travel time between targets
  • Compatibility with your current pet’s abilities (like splash damage or auto-collect)
  • Fewer players crowding the same space

If you’re standing around waiting for things to respawn or running back and forth too much, you’re losing time even if the zone technically has high rewards.

Common mistakes that waste your time

Some players stick to early-game zones like Grassland Hills because they’re familiar. But once you’ve upgraded past level 50 pets, those areas don’t scale. You’ll earn maybe 10% of what you could elsewhere.

Another trap: chasing “rare spawn” rumors. Unless a spawn is confirmed by multiple recent players or patch notes, don’t camp it. Stick to reliable, repeatable loops instead.

How to maximize your grind

Equip pets that boost Diamond Find or have AoE attacks. Pets with auto-loot or magnet effects also save you seconds per run which adds up over hours.

If you’re leveling new pets while grinding, pick ones that complement your setup. For example, a pet that stuns enemies helps you stay alive longer in high-density zones. Tips for speeding that up are in this guide.

Also, toggle off visual effects if your game lags. Smooth FPS matters more than flashy explosions when you’re farming for hours.

Should you switch spots as you progress?

Yes. Once you hit higher rebirths or unlock late-game pets, revisit zones like the Volcanic Wastes or Celestial Ruins. They require stronger gear but pay out significantly more. A full breakdown of scaling strategies is available here.

Don’t forget to check daily events or limited-time zones. Sometimes, temporary maps offer 2x–3x diamond rates perfect for catching up or pushing for a big purchase.

Quick checklist before you start grinding:

  • ✅ Pet equipped with Diamond Find or Area Damage
  • ✅ Auto-collect or Magnet enabled
  • ✅ Zone matches your pet’s power level
  • ✅ No unnecessary visual effects slowing you down
  • ✅ Timer set so you don’t burn out (30–60 min sessions work best)

Start in Ancient Temple if you’re mid-game. If it feels slow after 10 minutes, try Frozen Caves or check for active events. Keep your pet upgrades consistent you can find tips for that right here.
