Jaga Moraine near Sifhalla, probably. It is swarming with berserking whatevers. The only annoying thing is that the patrols move fast and intersect.

Supply and Demand holds in Tyria too. As long as lazy people will buy, greedy people will sell...and for as much as the market will allow.

If you can avoid Vaettir's spawns then Varajar's Fells will be a good farming place too.

Had 3 to begin with from recently vanquishing, got the last 12 during one run, (that I didn't finish, stopped killing after I got all 15) with all 8 heroes through the southwest half of Varajar Fells, only had 2 vaettir group spawn. Leave Olafstead and travel towards Verdant Cascades, you cant miss the large mobs

I call them idiots cause they always ask 1k doesnt matter what the demand is, until last time when everyone had farmed hydra claw at will, they continue asking 1k each, dont matter nobody buyed them and all the distric was laughing of the ridiculous price, the powertraders ask 1k.

wtf? in one of the dev interviews they mentioned that the Norn Dolyak totem died while defending the Norns from the dragon.

Could it be that Nicholas actually helped the Norn get the Dolyak totem???

I too noticed that yitjuan. Certainly an interesting reference if that was planned ahead of time.

Anyway, used to have a ton of these from the Norn point farm.

There are many Spirits of the Wild, Dolyak (aka Ox) being among them. Not all of them are used by the norn as totems (personal or family symbols), though all of them are respected by the norn. Dolyak was one of the lesser spirits who stayed behind to give the norn time to escape, along with Owl, Wolverine, and Eagle. Among those four, only Owl is confirmed to have died. We don't know the fate of the others.

Btw on a little side note, berserking bisons drop em too.

I was very confused and avoided em and went for minotaurs at first because they arent listed on wiki as mobs who drop horns.

So the best area is to kill bisons and minotaurs south west of Olafstead.

Take a good dervish and farm solo with: Avatar of Grenth, Crippling Sweap, Eternal Aura, Faithful Intervention, Heart of Fury, Mystic Twister, Victorious Sweep and Mystic Vigor.

Since those mobs heal fast, this is a good build for killing them off easily and quick

Why is that idiotic? there are most likely some people who are willing to pay that.
Some people hate farming like this and can afford to pay and get their gifts fast.
But it isnĀ“t me, im going to farm a little now

I think the only things outside sf that can drop them are the summit bosses in grenths. I was able to get all of my stones inside sf in 1 run but it took like 45 mins :/

Yeah its hard. I think I died 10 times trying to get there let alone trying to farm that place...

I usually solo with dervish but right now it's impossible. Even with 2 monks they got owned easily

Are you going solo or w/ a full team? I went with a full team and when I got inside sf I tagged them at the entrance. I was running sos but it was still hard, a lot of groups especially at the beginning are really close together and I died quite a lot too.

Only the stone summit in Grenth's Footprint and Sorrow's Furnace can drop them. No other areas. =/

Farm in Sorrow's Furnace, I used to do it all the time when I had a strange obsession with green farming. Just go in with a full party and flag them away if you have a single mob you work on by yourself (spirit farmer). The main risk is the degen from the Taskmasters and Surveyers. You absolutely have to place spirits, pull, and then run like hell because a couple of hexes can kill you really fast. If you get a boss group (yay, greens....), take your full party and ping the Priest of Sorrows dead or you will be there all day (he rezzes too). Once he dies, you can flag your group away again. Also stay away from that area with all the Dredge Shaman, not worth getting through them. I just did a quick clockwise run and ended up with 7 enslavement stones (mostly dropped when I had my full party with me) and 3 greens (always fun, right? ...).
