I always though the place was practically designed to be farmed, XD.

I wonder if that old Wammo build still works...

Farming it in HM with a N/Rt spirit spammer is proving to be pretty easy.

I remember farming the area with a Wammo a while back but couldn't remember the build, ended up just making one up.

I tried the one i used to use, and it works fine until Shreader

it's triple chop, cyclone axe, judge's insight, dolyak (prevent kd), live vicariously, vig spirit, bonettis to build up energy

Well, If I can manage to solo with Incendiary Arrow/Ignite Arrows/Splinter Wep, then I don't see why any build wouldn't work.

Avatar of Grenth Derv with IaU! for anti-kd works too, if you feel like dusting your derv off before the mythical update. I always enjoy the "any random build works to farm" weeks instead of the old, "go get your SoS"

Just dodge shreader, seeping wound sucks.

I ran from The Marketplace through Wajjuin Bazaar to Xaquang just using a SoS build. Once you zone into Xaquang there are loads of vermin to kill, re-zone once you killed them all and repeat. Pretty easy

I was running a secondary Rt spirit spam build and took one xtra hero along.
Drop rate good have been better, with party of 2 avarage 2 per run.
Took different heroes per run.
Olias (with a MM/MB build) was most fun, having a spirit AND minion wall

Oh ya, i farmed the area with Shreader Sharptongue.

Or you can do the quests that give you trade contracts and trade them in. Its one contract per bottle.

Well, Trade Constracts can also get u Rubies and Saphires.
Hmm, i have 6 Trade Constracts...use them, or farm Sentient Spores...have to think about it.

If someone has a better spot please post.
But one time, i farmed Sentient Spores between Nundu Bay and Dajkah Inlet, and around the big rock near Dahjah Inlet.

Not really wanting to use my contracts for the wine either. Tried farming the spores from plants in Marga Coast, the drop rate isn't really great, but ok.

I've got a few contracts and no use for rubies/sapphires at this point (got my Vabbian a year and a half ago), so I'll probably go the lazy route and do that.

Farming Jarimiya the Unmerciful directly using a spirit spammer build and a team of heroes/henchies may be more challenging (though not necessarily faster) than farming for sentient spores.

Just clear the area surrounding this boss and his group then go in and kill the Blue Tongue Heket. Once the Blue Tongue Heket is dead quickly flag your H+H team away until they are grey out.

Then use your spirits to kill the boss and remaining mob. With luck a Bottle of Vabbian Wine will drop.

To rezone use the Yatendi Canyons/Vehtendi Valley portal.

I just farmed spores with a summon stone in holdings of chokhin. That whole starting area is nothing but plants, and most drops come from the dervishes. There are three dervishes per group.

Let's not mention the loads of ruby weapons. You can also farm the beetles to the west for jeweled daggs and geodes. Simple Channeling SoS build. Didn't even need a summon stone most of the time...just aggro with sin support and drop painful bond on the balled up mobs.

I second the Jarimiya run, is you solo him you almost always get the wine. Also Bohdalz the Furious is nearby, his Channeling green is a pretty decent grab if you can get one.

This. I do not recommend spending your trading contracts for the wine.

A better map would be good...one showing an outpost or adjoining explorable area.
