Either do the Brawl, Its not unusual for me to get 10 consecutive wins, you will also get loads of faction. If not then take a load of AoE's, a self heal skill, run into Plains of Jarin (NM not HM) and just slay everything, dont take heros and you should do fine.

Costume Brawl is requires a bit too much luck if you ask me...

Charr farming is pretty easy if you have prophesies otherwise the plains of Jarin as already mentioned.

Loads of items there and the opposition is only level 1 or 2 for the roots and legs.
So almost any charcter can solo it, my level 3 mermer and lvl 3 ele have been doing it since day 1 and both are nearly 10th now, when I get bored I just change character.

I've been soloing the Ft. Ranick Mission. I normally see 25 - 30 charr carvings and 4 - 6 Trick or Treat bags each run. It takes about 15 minutes to do. So it's got two important characteristics of a good, fast, farming spot: Lots of enemies that drop a collectable that you need and give more chances for bags, plus it doesn't take long to do.

North Kryta- Outside of Lions Arch, 15 minute run, Caromi Scalps trade 1 for 1 for Halloween Items, 4-6 Trick or Treat Bags per run, and Feathers! Don't laugh, feathers are worth a lot right now at the Material trader. (All those GW:EN consumables seem to need feathers) Plus-- Fire Imp glowing hearts are common and can be trade 2 for 1 for Halloween Items. As a bonus the imps drop Charcoal, the Caromi drop Purple and Blue Armour, and the occassional gold weapon if you need to ID stuff for that title. Usually 1-2 gold items on a solo run.

Solo farm the glint challenge mission in hard mode with earth tank build. I get 3-8 TOT bags per run (only doing the 1st wave of critters) plus up to 4 golds, tomes, lots of dye, and destroyer cores.

What you get in the bags is random. Farm the Plains of Jarin as the collectors will trade for Tonic according to the wiki.

12 bags in 2 runs in Old Ascalon, soloing granite slabs last night. Nothing there can really hurt a lv20, and the elementals are easy to gather a group and drop an AOE.

Minion Master works good, although the Caromi are only level 12 or 13 they do hit hard and with criss-crossing patrols you can get overwhelmed by them. There are Mesmers that tag along with them that do interrupts.

I have been 55ing the undead in Gates of Kryta mission in hard mode.

Average per run:
12-15 Trick or Treat Bags
3-4 Golds
Boat loads of runes and insignia's
Weapon mods
About 2K per run and a skill point.

You can also go out of Bergin Hot Springs and go to the Cursed Lands. It is easy to vanquish the area. There are approximately 70-80 enemies. Switch to a wand to kill the smoke phantoms because they are Not undead.

I collect holiday items and when i'm farming them I usually kill the level 4 Grawl in Eastern Frontier with Triple Chop/Cyclone Axe/Whirling axe. It takes around 4 mins and I get around 2 bags a run plus plenty of ornate Grawl Necklaces. But if you specifically want Tonics Plains of Jarin is probably best.

The fastest farm spot I have found is in NF. Outside of Champion's Dawn there is a great spot to farm juv legs, drake flesh, and sentint roots. The legs drop more often then the decayed orr emblems at GoK. 1 drake flesh = 1 tonic, 3 sent. roots = 1 tonic, the legs can be traded for the other goodies. This run has about 20-25 monsters that can be slayed in about 3-5 minutes. I usually come out with 2-7 legs, 0-2 chunks of drake flesh, sent. roots drop less often (due to only a few plants), and 1-2 ToT bags every run.

I know that right outside Kamadan there are a lot of planty-beasties. Take that route and slay everything until you get to Champ's will give you enough sentient roots for transmogy potions and some Juvy legs to get other stuff!

Nolani explorable is a good area too. Can clear out a bunch of gargoyles in 5 minutes.
