No im not complaining about the prices(although i do feel they are high)
Im just curious - what is you record kills there and what route do u take? For me personally I have gotten two berries from killing 12 on average (CLOSE TO THREE ONCE with 14).
Juni Berries

I'm not gonna lie, I struggle with this quest a lot. Mainly because I can't tell toma when to eat foes. the skill says no recharge yet he acts like it has one and i try not to kill so fast so he can munch, I get 8 on average >_>

Thanks to a guildie, using his method i get 10-13 kills per run.
With sabsway minus the minion bomber, so just masters (curser) and livia (healer)
And then i pop the spawns of mandragors one by one heading over to the little garden patch where bugs pop up. You don't deal, just simply call the target toma is attacking.

I get 15-16 on average with my highest being 19. I've also made some good cash off this so far.
Swift Thief
BiP team = 3-4 berries per run

Guildie got me my 15 berries as soon as I logged on today. So my advice is, have helpful guildies. 
Dark Dragon
normally get 10 then run back, if i tried i would end up with 14 so not worth it in my opinion.
Just me (ele) and 3 monks, i just use one or 2 aoe spells and then just let toma run around.
path is middle door 2 popups, then to the bridge 2 more popups then head over too the fenced area, there is one more popup on the way to the fenced area, at the fenced get to 10 then leave.

take 2 MM heroes with minions, jagged, Verata's Aura, Conteplation of Purity and Resurect. Take 1 hero of any class with necro secondary and a 55 setup with BiP. Move over to the quest giver:
1.) Have the 55 sac to death
2.) MMs with rez and raise minions.
3.) Once you have 20 minions, have the MMs cast Aura and then CoP (micro these)
4.) I go monk secondary and bond the creature.
5.) Stand out of the way while he eats minions.
6.) He should eat 6-11 in 1min 20 secs.
7.) Get up the MMs if they died and repeat before the quest expires.
8.) You can get 15 to 20+ this way without ever leaving the village.

I bring only degens and healing, and attack the enemies until they are around 33% HP.
Never got over 20. Usually 2..3 berry branches.

Don't make the mistake of having a full inventory! ><
Didn't realise, went to accept reward and couldn't receive the Berries. Dropped an item, but couldn't re-accept the reward.

Got to 19 twice, that little bugger just won't chomp down my minions faster!
setup:
Healer (me, E/Mo with [Word of Healing][Healing Breeze] etc to keep myself and MMs alive)
BiP necro hero (blood 12; [Blood is Power]): keep saccing him manually
2x Minion necro hero (death 12, soul reaping 12; [Animate Bone Minions][Verata's Aura][Contemplation of Purity][Resurrect][Aura of the Lich]): manually control verata's and contemplation.
I've sold quite a few berries in packs of 15 for 15-20k.
I'd like a screenie of anyone saying they got 20. Man is Toma a slow eater!

Followed what bladeturner posted. Highest kills was 19 with minions, the timer just runs out before 20. Meh.
Managed to get all 45 branches I need for my accounts easily.

I think it helps a little if you flag them a bit away from Chuno - he won't move past Chuno, so if you flag too close to the guy and the minions run behind him, Toma won't follow.
And yes, he's a slow eater... sometimes he just stands there and waits despite me having 6 minions in front of him.
I personally went Mo/N and BiPped myself to death, Olias as N/Rt healer with Flesh of my Flesh, Livia and MoW as MMs. Didn't get 15, though. Ah well.

are the minions still under your control? or are they from a MM that has died?
Also On my Main War, Toma is a no show hasnt been here in a while. Any suggestions?
I'd tried this a bit on my Derv shes can get to toma but no luck with his eating of minions yet....lol

I've been getting 11-13 kills on average with a random pug. Had a few low runs due to an idiot necro who kept wanding the things to death (we told her to drop the wand about 4 times before finally kicking her), and one no-show.
I hate Toma. I really, really do. I love the quest; it's an exercise in self-control. But Toma... ugh. He'll kill things instead of using Feeding Frenzy sometimes, even if they're at below 20%; he'll attack the highest-health target instead of going for the ones we've carefully softened up for him; he can't decide which party member he wants to follow and often runs after the one pulling for him; he can't make up his mind and will waste valuable seconds switching amongst four or five targets without actually dealing any damage whatsoever. This leads me to one conclusion...
...Toma must be the sick lovechild of Rurik, Mhenlo, Danika, and Dunkoro.

I've been using an E/Mo with Restore Life, Resurrect, and Res Chant, A Nec Saccer with BiP, another Nec as an MM with Aura, Bone Minions, Verata, and CoP, and me...just chillin there and healin the MM or E/Mo when necessary. Just micro the BiP and let the MM and Resser do their jobs. As soon as I get about 8 or so up, I grab the quest and Verata's+CoP. Rinse+Repeat until time runs out
I get about 15 berries on average...with my highest being about 18.

I've been using: Aura of the Lich, Ventra's Gaze and CoP on three necro heroes.
I have Ebon Battle Standard of Wisdom and Quickening Zephyr, I also took Escape just to be safe.
Take healer henchies. Drop EBSW and QZ... have 3 necro's use AotL and get 3 or 4 minions a peice for first go, take quest... VG, CoP... maintain EBSW and QZ... keep makeing single minions and releaseing them as needed... easily got 13 or 14... 15 if you get good recharges on skills... no deaths and no rezing needed.
edit in: don't forget to keep all heroes on passive.

I thought it would take a long time to collect them myself but it went pretty fast, you dont need any specific build, all you need is to call the targets which Toma is attacking, dont let your team kill any other monster, simply call his targets, there are only 2 groups of Insects I kill, the one on the field with spawns and the one with the Monk boss, after that he may need to eat 1 more, which is pretty easy to find and with more than a min.
Cebe
My method is to just take out 6 hero/hench instead of the full 8 because you end up killing slower so Toma has more of a chance to use his Feeding Frenzy skill.
One thing that's confusing me though is that when the timer gets to 20 seconds, it tells me to go back to Chuno. I could easily have got 15 kills in if I had an extra 20 seconds. I can't work out why it's doing it.

Each kill should award you 15 extra seconds, and time displayed is updated with bonus time.
But actual counter inside game is not so you end up 15/30/45 seconds too early depending on your kills.
Sword Hammer Axe
20 exactly.
I go out southwest, kill the kournan patrols and venture into the fortress.
I do it on HM because Toma needs time to recharge his skills so when it takes more time to kill the opponents he can chomp up more of them.

^ is the biggest bser in the game lol 20 in HARD MODE hahahahaha try again son nobody is going to believe that one.
Abedeus
20 enemies x about 10 seconds recharge on the Chomp + time to get a monster to 20% (AT LEAST) = 200 seconds. 3 minutes 20 seconds. No idea where do you live, maybe time goes slower for you, but it's impossible. Even for Minion Masters producing food.
Arduin
I was able to feed 20 minions on one occasion to Toma. However, I only got 3 Branches of Berries.
I'm sure the counter went from 19 to 20, but as Toma ate the last minion at the very last second, I'm not sure if the game registred it.
It's very easy to make him eat 15 minions, but only rarely will he get to 19-20, so it's much easier to aim for 15 kills/3 branches.
Just make sure there are already some hostile minions present before starting the quest, so Toma can get to chomping immediately.
Mate brought [[Ebon Battle Standard of Wisdom], but I don't suppose it helped on Toma.

I've hit 18, no higher. EBSW + QZ is a good plan though. *steal*.
Been using AotL necros with Vereta and Signet of Agony. After a minute or so of DP you can AotL +Signet of Agony to raise and sac instantly, providing minions and a corpse.
Edit: Should have 5 in death magic also; reduce time it takes for the fella to take them to 20%.
Ate of DK
I don't bring henchman, only heroes. They stop attacking when you stop and you get between 10-15 kills every run.

'Cause I'm unable to disable skills on my heroes for some reason, I just use this hackneyed build on my necromancer:
[Animate Bone Minions][Verata's Aura][Contemplation of Purity][Healing Breeze][Resurrect] and dump [Blood is Power] on Master of Whispers. Raise six minions before taking the quest, use VA & CoP, then just raise 2 minions each time. Don't really need an elite skill, as I can keep myself alive anyway.
It only nets me 10 - 14 kills (can never manage 15, 'cause of the stupid timer ending at 20 seconds), but for someone who can't micromanage properly due to being unable to disable skills (I messed around with controls - never again!), I think it's an all right haul for 4 minutes of little work.

I managed to get to 19 kills with a friend, both using the saccing method proposed here. But not above. Some runs were actually ruined by too many minions, and me unable to save my MM (should have used rit instead of monk).
I was only able to consistently get 15 kills by fast micromanagement (and trying that with a friend didn't help significantly), it was actually a quite good exercise for that (I'd be laughing if that was the purpose ).
But quite often my saccer's BIP would not be activated, I was wondering whether it's because he was prioritising movement over skill use, anyone observed that too?

imnotyourmother
WOW the minion master idea is great..
that said.. I take 3 monk hero's and the 2 monks from the henchies.
Then I run around and the beast eats the FIRST agro'd foe so I use my "touch ranger skills" to do 80% of the damage and the beast finishes the job in one bite.
Then I run about some more popping them out of the ground and then kill the patrol group. That is 2 berries..head back to get my reward.
As for the price of the berries, you must have Nightfall to get the things and Factions to get the goodies. Kinda sneaky on the part of Anet making you buy 2 games to take part in the hunt for red october - I mean the traveler

Poor toma getting farmed with low quality food.
Must say people who buy berry is extremely lazy or having too much money.Tournament award point x accounts = Zaishenkeys.
2 berry under 5 minute run seems ok here.

Bip, sac, use x3 MMs

i thought my guildie was the only one with the MM idea 
anyway, if you have multiple accounts, that is really the way to go. dual or triple accounting and suddenly 2 berries turns into 4 or 6 berries per run.

I solved that by equipping three superior runes on saccer hero. That way, [Resurrect] will only serve as "corpse refresher" once hero gets to 60DP.
