okay so the screenie is "real". but where do we farm them? and how many do we need per gift?
disarm76
Again? I am pretty sure he asked for Water Djinn Essences already!
So many stuff he could ask and he's already repeating?
Damn, have two mules filled with collector stuff. All to waste.

You need one. It says "would you hunt one down?" in the dialogue. See wiki.
He asked for Sapphire Djinn Essences before.

I think the drop rate for the Wind and Water quest is rather low. However, there are water djinns in Fahranur, the First City along with a collector of Water Djinn Essences. I just can't remember exactly where in the city they are. Going to have to go hunting them once I get home from work.

Heinous! I'm betting this is the first Nicholas week where we see widespread service fees: "LFP with quest, paying 2k!" (also "Selling gifts 5k each, essences 4.9k each")
Wind and Water is the only sane way to farm Water Djinns, and it's a pain to get a new Nightfall character that far. I hate unrepeatable quests... I always get the heebie-jeebies when I cash one in because I know it'll turn out to be some primo farm later on.

I just run to the 3 djinns + boss in first city on my derv, using balth avatar as speedboost, one run takes me 2 minutes and I've got 4 essences soo far 
tmakinen
This just might be the most tedious Nicholas farm so far. What next, Smoking Remains? Giant Tusks?
Painbringer
Yeah I think I may pass this week... unless i find a good farming spot

I been trading in for 5 presents each week ever since this thing started,
and so far the only things I got were the candies, poppers, disco balls.
Of the valuable items, I only got two vamp dragon swords. Those are nice too,
but I want a Gwen doll minipet. How many more weeks must I farm like a dumb slave to get what I want?
Thanks for the derv run tip, Avalanche.
I'll try that right away.

Hmmm, I'm going to pass this week. I have better things to do in game than run around trying to farm water djinn essence. I always get the same old gifts anyway, variations on mysterious summoning stones, booze, candy and potions or worse bottle rockets and party poppers. So unless it's a pretty easy farm, I'm just not interested.
KingCrab
Where in the first city are they located? All I'm finding is restless dead and skree fledglings...
N1ghtstalker
droprate is shit btw
Jensy
Farmed 5 just fine outside GoD in Turai's using standard spirit spammer + sin support for the annoying immolated djinn and kournan priests/paras.
Dzjudz
I think I'll do the primary quest in nightfall with 2 accounts at once without heroes.
Vanaar
I'll second the idea on Fahranur...I just got my 5 in 10 minutes using an Avatar of Balthazar build.

The djinn in Fahranur are in the watery pit area where you normally fight the apopcrypha in the Jokanur mission. Just follow the same mission 'path' in the zone, and you'll get down there pretty quickly. There's only 4 though, so it seemed (and was) quicker sweep around Turai's. Whatever works though \o_O/
Estic
thelessa
6 runs 10 essences, was a bit worried about the drop rate, but it turned out fine
ShivaTwoDelta
Just finished my farming. Got 5 for myself and 5 for a friend, took me about 80 minutes in the first city.
Maybe not the most annoying ever, but certainly boring to run 2 full minutes non stop to then only find about 4 enemies and mostly they dropped 0. :/

theres around 15 water djinns in the north-eastern area of Turais ... that's where i farmed mine. Took me 3 runs to get the 10 i needed.
rkubik
3 runs with Spirit spam warrior = 1 drop
1 run with Perma = 4 drop
All in Turai's
10 rock candy
5 Myst stones
10 myst Tonics
Pretty standrad as of late. I started off getting great drops (VDS, Spider Egg, 8 Kegs) now not so much.

Run all the way to the end. Kill djiinns (4 of them I think) with spirits 2-3min, repeat. At least 1 essence per run.

Keep in mind first city only has a 4 man party size. Which means due to loot scaling, you will have about twice the odds to actually get an item from any particular kill compared to the 8 man area.

Also, since there are no Communing skills in that build, why does it have 9 Communing? You'd be better off to take those points and raise Expertise to at least 12.
