True, but there used to be a lot of skale just north of the portal from LA. Still are on my second account, in fact. Too bad that account is mostly mules.

I too found that the best drops were on the run from LA thru Scoundrels rise. Seemed to get between 10 and 16 fins per run.

yeah but in my case, I only play an hour or two every couple of days as I don't have the time to spend anymore on the game like I used to.
Back when the game came out and up until end of 2007, I was putting unbelievable number of hours in the game each week, it was all I can think about.
Now with a baby in the house and tons of RL stuff to do, I can't afford spending time in the game, add to that, it is summer time and going out beats playing GW.

I liked tears of the fallen just vanquish it and rezone. It had decent drop rate for me too.

It's kinda nice that there are a couple of decent farming spots this week. I switched back and forth between NKP and Tears of the Fallen to keep the monotony down. (Vanquished Tears and Twin Serpent Lakes while I was at it

)

a pretty easy farm this week. took about an hour and a half farming north of LA using the R/Rt spirit spammer build.

just the usual consumable crap for me this week though.

It's the R/Rt Solo UW build, most likely.

I can confirm he has moved exactly on time as usual.

So let the search begin, hoping for another easily farmable item this week.

Way to go! 2 Skale Fins for 1 Bowl of Soup is a lot easier than 5 Bog Skale Fins for 1 Herring.

Quick find too!

i would say best place is Fahranur, the first city, theres like 20 odd lvl 2's or something just outside the entrance to the city by the second shrine if you go down the right side coming out from diggings.

It's on PvX. Just farm Fahranur (where all the little ones are bunched and AoE them) or just run the river in Plains. Fahranur is by far faster and easier.
