Vanquishing the zone a few days ago got me seven of them, though I sold to merchant.

So just run through killing a lot of grawl, rezone, repeat a couple times. Shouldn't take too long.

Hmm... not sure on this farm. But considering last week was super easy, can't really complain.

Really? Lucky you. I have more ectos than necklaces, even though the only thing I've done in UW is the Halloween quests and a couple of Black Widow runs. Despite running several characters through all Sacnoth quests and vanquishing it once, I have a grand total of four necklaces gathered over the last year. I think I'd rather Nick wanted ectos.

Not a bad run at all, really. Took my monk and three heroes (spirit spammer, ss necro, and ele doing lighting for dazed/blinding).

Took one trip through, rezoned through Rragar's and worked my way back to Nicholas and got my 10 by then. Also managed to pick up 3 lockpicks and Fozzy's Staff so yay for an unexpected green along the way!

As far as what I got: Hunters Ales (one set of regular and one aged), one set of both types of summoning stones, and the usual mysterious tonics. Kinda boring ha ha.

Nothing special so far and 2 accounts to go only thing was a Walking stick and gave that away
to someone in the alliance but i'm keeping the 3 Disco balls for Wintersday.
I already had about 24 of the necklaces from doing the Z bounty for Fozzy last week
on a few chars so only need to farm a few now.

Easy farm on a perma:

Outside Rragar's there's a couple groups of grawl and a ton of elementals, catch em on the second tree on the left and have at it, they get nice and stuck.

It wasn't too bad. I used the sliver perma way. Rezone rragars and sliver grawls. The method the user above me posted.

It may seem daunting, but give it a go - you'll find its a lot easier than you you think.

Run through Dalada Uplands from Doomlore Shrine. Takes no time - you can easily avoid all mobs on the way.

Once in Sacnoth, you don't have to go near the nasty Burning Forest. Just head towards Rragar's dungeon, wipe out the two big mobs of Grawls on the way. Go into Rragar's, come straight back out. Kill the two big mobs of grawl again. etc.

It's possible to solo it, but I think some well-chosen heroes may get you the necklaces quicker.

It was actually a pretty easy farm about an hour for all. In NM with full party.

Drops:

15 mysterious tonic
10 honeycomb
5 Mysterious summoning stones

Pretty crappy

Man, you people really need to re-educate yourself on what "free" means.

An exchange of something, be it goods, money or time, for something else, isn't "free".

Took my Discord Necros and only had to zone once to get 10, but still had to kill about every Grawl in the zone...twice. Yeah, it was kind of a bother especially for the poopy gifts... 10 poppers, 10 sparklers, and 5 aged ales.
