drop the hero and just run SoS yourself if possible. I scored 4 on my to Nolani (used my rit that didn't have Nolani yet), then in 2 runs I netted 27 more skulls (farming for 2 accounts).

Very easy farm this weeks, mahalo A-Net!

What gate are you talking about?

I spent a lot of time in the Courthouse farming charr hides for my charr hide elite armor, and it was a lot of fun to go back there months later and see the place jumpin' last night. I'm glad our good friend Nick could bring such an entertaining group together!

Can confirm. Recommend NOT having any Winds of Change quests.

Also, you can craft Tempered Glass vials and Vials of Ink from Xue Yi [Materials] in Kaineng Center.

Well about 10 minutes before you posted this ink was 350.

Note, this item MUST be crafted as no creatures drop vials of ink.
To craft, you must first bring glittering dust to a select Artisan and get tempered glass (5 dust per glass). Then you must give plant fibers and tempered glass to the Artisan to get vials of ink (4 dust and 1 glass per ink). All Artisans that can craft tempered glass can also craft vials of ink, so you won't have to find two Artisans.

Farming Fog Nightmare outside ToA for dust (for crafting Tempered Glass Vial). There is like >7-8 groups (including popups); one run yields between approx. 22 to 125 or more dust.

Not completly true as there are drops that can be salvaged into vails of ink, like Stolen Provisions.

TY for this post, I needed a good dust farm. If I may ask what are skills 5 and 8? I'm a bit new to Rit.

drop rate seems to be really low for the level 1s. The higher level (10s) in First city (enter from Black tide den) drop well and are plentiful.

Spirit Siphon and Spirit Light, but any variation of SOS Rit farmer build should do. I just happen to use this one for areas where the foes tend to cast a lot hexes and/or health degeneration, but discovered later I didn't really need to use any heals at all while farming the Fog Nightmare. This build is closer to what I normally use (swapping out Anguish for Armor of Unfeeling).

Everyone has their own style/preference for SOS Rit farming. See the Rit or farming forum on guru or check on the rit builds on PVX.

That could be because only level 6 and higher can drop them.
(and with the lvl 6's share seed drops with roots, only lvl 10 drops just seed)

Good information for anyone looking to farm there items. I usually get junk, but got another keg this week, so one step closer to drunkard title, heh.
