Baff nick week. Either you have loads to spare or you are trying to get to 250. Alternatively you may be neither and will just farm them at the painful drop rate they are. Either way it's a naff nick week.

...I have no idea what "baff" or "naff" mean, so I'm unable to say anything about it.

Pft, Nick wants them for his "friend", eh? He just wants a Mask of the Mo Zing so he's sending us on errands for him

-shakes fist-

Although I had 50-odd of these in storage already, I actually had 5 drop while I was on my way to Nick so... :/ Blood Washes Blood is my personal favourite for farming them but that's because I like playing BEAR SMASH!

Easy farm with myself and a friend doing warband with just the 2 of us. Got 30 for the both of us in one run.

Before that we decided to VQ dalada and we got none :s

It's not hard. Just let go of the SoS habit for once, get an anti charr team and start to mow down furries by the thousands. It goes pretty fast.

Noticed that to. Had to do some Ebon Vanguard missions anyway conveniently. Drop rate wasnt bad with a party of 7.
Then i tried Dalada, drop rate there was dramatically worse

Soooo.....farm the mission's it is then, instead of area's, i guess.

Wasn't looking forward to this but it turned out a guildie had loads in storage and he doled them out to those of us who wanted them <3

Maybe I was just lucky but I was farming them pretty readily just clearing out those Charr Seekers on the way to Nick with SoS. I was getting 2 per mob most of the time.

Are you from Gods And Legends? I had over 200 in my storage collecting dust (or for a Mask of Mo Zing) and gave out 100 to my guildies. What a nice guy.

Then we vanquished Dalada Uplands and got about 6 carvings amongst 5 of us.

Sometimes i think the required 1,2 or 3 per gift r a bit off in comparison to how easy or difficult the items r to farm.

A Stormy Eye is very easy to farm, so why only one per gift ?!
Perhaps to compensate for previous times when it was vice versa...

Farming solo a small part of the big krater for like only 5-10 minutes got me five already.

I had a weird occurence with spawns the first time I went out in Pockmark Flats today, the Storm Riders that were usually there were absent. The following times I went out, they were back. Not sure if that's happened to anyone else.

I have rezoned 4 times, I haven't had a quest in this area for almost 6 years and have no quests active/selected at all.

never had a problem with nic before, maybe he has enough eyes already, they aren't too tough to get so maybe he got them himself for a change.

It's being kind of weird. My first run, Nick spawned but there were no Storm Riders. Second time, they're everywhere, but Nick and the other collector weren't there. Huh.

And definitely no quests there active for me - not possible on that character.
