Nick items are usually nm farmed for ease and time - why fight a buffed hm foe when u can probably kill 2 nm foes in same time ?
Heros not needed as solo build
Hope that helps.
Urass you beat me with the pvx link lol

Personally speaking I went with a 4 man team in nm
Me as fire ele, MM, Spirit spam and N/Rt healer heroes. More than enough firepower to cope with all mobs inc the Onis on the bridge. Got all the bone charms needed in a couple of stress-free runs around the crater

just take 3 heroes, and a summoning stone if you have any spare
i got all my bone charms in 3 runs, about 10-13minutes a run, in NM

i suggest a fire ele(searing flames and other nuking skills) w/ maybe those new celestrial summoning stones if you want( i dont think they decrease the droprate and a little extra help never hurts.)

I took just a MM hero with me while farming in Rhea's Crater using spirit spam, worked fine as long are the mobs were small.

Just NM solo spirit spam in Rhea's for me, starting out of Aurios, ending at the monk boss. Killing most outcast in Rheas nets about 15-18 charms, some goldies and the odd green now and then. About 30-35 minutes I think.
Sometimes the patrolling group with ele boss (wavebreak or what's its name) kills the mesmer boss group and the ones around him, so I don't get those.

DTSC comes good as a byebye for 600

Amber chunks, it is realy worth farming them for gifts? I always thought amber was worth almost as much as one gift?
Ralisti
fastest way would be to buy from rare mat trader? looks like prices are going up -_-
edit: (not sure what current price of amber is)

Trader is out of stock, but the last price was 1.2k/Amber. ArenaNet has clearly lost its mind to ask for such an expensive and hard-to-get rare crafting material.

Hey guys!
I posted some of the easiest ways to farm Kurzick faction (which is the easiest way to farm amber) on PvX.
Feel free to edit and change it if the information is wrong. Total it will take 75,000 Kurzick faction in order to get all 15 amber, so I strongly recommend doing FFF's if you don't want to buy them.

do urgoz HM. 6 per run.
Deatgs Corrupter
me and my guild did fernadale balancedway did it in 20mins got 20k faction and some guy got amber drop.
other way is to do JQ
Urgoz also gives you 10000factions so that is 8 a run

I think I will skip this one, been running around and besides Kurzick faction and a few golds I got no amber.
Dace Hunters
Just do Urgoz, you get 6 amber + any that drop on the way (i usually get 7 or 8 in total) and about 18K faction thats another 3. not bad for 40 mins

Pretty fast if you find ppl to do it in 1-5 min yes , other wise hell no. Guess this week the best farm is DTSC or something :/ .

okay so we can assume he is in the tangle. even thought no pics are posted. how do we get to nic and would spirit spammer still work against the monsters?
June Bug
As he's not in Alcazia, but in Holdings of Choklin, I've gone there and farmed. Zoning in to Vehjin Mines and back in to HoC, rinse and repeat. The Bulltrainers/minotaurs are spirit spammable, with a bit of care. Did a run, got 1 drop of Pillaged Goods killing all. Good thing Nick just wants one for each gift. ._.

Merge this back into the Nick thread where people can find it and it stays relevent, and mods don't have to maintain multiple first posts.

not sure we are even ALLOWED to discuss anything besides farming now.....
I have been playing since before nf came out, and I have yet to ever have a pillaged goods drop for me.....and I have taken about 15 or so characters through that area more than once (4 have gm carto).....so not sure what the actual drop rate is for these, but dont think I will have the time (or want to spend the effort) on such a bad drop rate. (heck until the 2nd half of today the unoffical wiki even had the wrong icon for these!)

Stolen goods!?!? That's a drop in GW??? Well, I vanquished and explored the areas with bull trainers, but never ever even heard of this drop. All I got was tusks or something.
Another week goes by without Nicholas seeing me Ahhhh, the comfort of no farming pressure. Kinda nice really.

I killed 19 Bull Trainers (1 and 1/2 runs) and got 1 Pillaged Goods.
Start in Jennur's Horde and head north into Vehjin Mines and hug the west side of the map.
I H/Hed thought the handfull of other mobs until I got to the Bull Trainers.
Solo up the first groups of 4-5 Trainers, call up the H/H and kill the Skree on the other side of the bridge. Send away the henchies and kill the mobs of Trainers, about 6-7 of them. Rinse Repeat.
