I was about to ask: Is this possible? But it seems that it is. Saps drop in Cantha? Do they drop in Prophecies?

They drop everywhere, but they are a very rare drop. Supposedly, they drop from foes who can drop crafting materials. There may be a level requirement as well.

Based on what? I remember hearing something like that a while back, but that was before the Nik stuff was implimented. Also, it's possible that they adapted the code, thus making it different and all the little code would be unique.

That aside there's another way to tell, if people are willing to participate. Simply figure out how many hours you've played since you've last received the gifts. In most cases for me the only play time I get as of late is farming the items, so it's about an hour a week. I would think that if people have logged more hours they've got a better chance at golds, greens and minis then those that log only an hour or two a week.

As an answer to the sapphire question, yeah, pretty much anything can drop sapphires. Way, way back, I got a pair of sapphires when Green farming in Eternal Grove explorable (ie when Scar Eater was still worth 20k), from a pair of wardens in two seperate runs.

If so the level req can't be very high as i had Sapphires drop from the lvl 11 Fire Imps outside LA before.

Threadjacking a bit, but no, that's not true - http://wiki.guildwars.com/index.php?...&oldid=1765003

I think what happened is when they were first added to the game, they dropped from such a seemingly random selection of enemies that a few people on GuildWiki decided it was valid to assume they dropped from everything, and that became the conventional wisdom that everyone quoted. Even I went along with it until I saw Linsey's comment there, then I looked through the history of our sapphire/ruby articles, and realized that it really was only the same small group of monsters that people had been adding repeatedly.

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

Can anybody recommend a good way of farming these? 600/smite in Ice Flo comes to mind for me but those Mursaat Monks are a nuisance.

Guess I'll need to go infuse my Rit if I want to get anything this week...

Likely not going to bother, though. Mursaat are too annoying to want to deal with.

Oho, farmed them Mursaat back in the days with a 55 monk at the start of the Ring of Fire mission. Good times.

Oh that's right - now I remember farming those guys with a perma/bonder when I was looking for a jade hammer. Thanks for the reminder.

You sure it was the Mursaat & not the Jade Armor/Bows? There was an 330HP Ele Jade Farm post quite a while ago.

I farmed them 3-4 years ago on my Monk, and you are right, I only remember to farm the Jade Armor and Bows. But those drop tokens too.

I only have two in storage. I was about to start farming Jade Bow, etc and realized my armor wasn't infused. It seems only my Curses armor is infused and I need to infuse my 5 other sets(Blood, Death, 55, high hp, and high energy). How vexing! Infusion runners are gonna make a mint.

Solo Spirit spammer. Same as every week.

I'm doing Ring of Fire mission, kill everything up to the first mursaat tower, except the big mob that chases suicide-dwarf at the start.

I farmed 15 tokens on Ring of Fire mission with Ritu Vengful Bonder:

Temp: OAOk4gPaITKjFj4VP0i4V8h+QeA

You can kill at the beginning Jade Bows and Jade Armors - run takes about 3- 4 minutes. Armors uses Devastating Hammer so You can take I am unstopabe skill but tbh KD is not deadly here. Mot important thing is You need your armor infused. Otherwise spectral agony may kill you. Old 55hp Necro build works here too.

Here is the map:



and my drop

PM me if You have questions.
