A fairly self-explanatory title.

The items I like the best are generally low-req inscribable golds. I just like golds. Having a, say, req 5 tactics gold shield also makes it possible to run a wider variety of builds.

My question is how to farm for them? Has anyone noticed any effective strategies? Are there any tricks?

as others above me have stated, NM raptors drop epic amounts of low-req. golds. i like farming things like Zen Daijun in NM - mid level foes, tons of 'em, and easy to kill. there are a ton of those places across the continents - just fit damage, some damage reduction, and a self heal on, and slay away.

NM Raptors for sure. I've got a couple of q5 caster Elemental swords - other skins drop more regularly.

Solo farming raptors is good but ...
what I found was even better was solo farming the snowmen's lair in NM (see the invinciranger build) its super easy in nm.
I get tons and tons of low-req golds, from daggers to swords and sheilds. Plus the bonus of a wintersday item at the end

each run takes maybe 10-15 mins.

Got a req7 14-20 elemental sword on NM raptor and a req6 14 armor shield on NM snowmen (invinciranger build).

Tried kourman (near grenth acolyte), but the run is very slow compared to raptor or snowmens.

There are caromis just oustide LA, they drop $feathers$, but items are not inscribable.
