Just wondering if there are any Nightfall Farms. I know there's a kirin farm in factions and ice imps/trolls in proph but my mage is in NF..

Plains of Jarin, just south from "Sunspear Great Hall"

It's a lot faster with a VwK build but... maybe you wanna try it in anycase

Not just the Stalking Nephilia. You can take out pretty much everything on the Plains of Jarin, with a few exceptions.

I use the following build on my E/Mo...

Armour of Earth
Stoneflesh Aura
Sliver Armour
Ward of Stability
Shockwave
Glyph of Lesser Energy
Healing Breeze
Balthazar's Spirit

Items: Any weapon with 20% enchant is useful to extend AoE and Stoneflesh, ensuring no downtime at 16 Earth Magic.

Usage is pretty much as you'd expect - upkeep Balth Spirit. Cast Armour of Earth and Stoneflesh Aura prior to aggro. Gather up your targets and cast Sliver Armour. Use Shockwave to speed up the process.

Different strategy for other enemies. You need to use Healing Breeze to counter Crippling Anguish from the Fanged Ibogas, also to counter health loss due to Cleave from the Bladed Termites (which will put 30-odd points THROUGH Armour of Earth and Stoneflesh). You'll need Ward of Stability for any of the Stormseed Jacaranda you encounter or you risk being interrupted by Lightning Surge.

Enemies to definitely avoid - Skale Blighters and Mandragor Imps. They cast life-stealing touch spells that Stoneflesh and Armour of Earth are ineffective against. Healing Breeze is also too slow to assist against them.

Due to the spacing between enemies and the fact you'll need to gather up foes to be truly energy-efficient, it's a very slow farm and not particularly profitable, even if you do get the occasional Icy/Fiery Blade Axe...

Battle against turais procession (HM) - E/A nuker (or sliver armor+recall) + Mo/R bonder with EoE = mainly for fun, and experience.

Go wiki for like an hour, lookup every area, what skillsets your foes have, what skills needed to counter these are, and set up a build for it.
IE. If only Melee - Mist Form, if Melee with Interrupt, Use the Visages, if spellcasters, use infinite OF chain... and so on
