Don't know if this will help, but I used 2 characters to speed things up. Left from Jennur's, north thru the Mines, then up the left most border of Holdings. I used solo SoS and could kill all the mobs, left the 2nd character by the portal so I didn't have to run all the way back down. Run takes only a few mins I think but I had to do it like 100 times to get 10 Pillaged Goods. I got 129 of the Hunting Minotaur Horns... This one was extremely painful, drop rate is either horrible or I was very unlucky. Sometimes 10+ runs with no Pillaged Goods whatsoever. Things to do on a slow day at work.

Good luck.

Yeah the drop rate is horrible and if I consider what I normally get in my gifts I have to say not worth it. I can play (not farm which would even be faster) and make the gold I would need to buy what I normally get in half the time it will take to get the item for this week. This is probably the week I would have got the doll or yak mini lol but cant bring myself to do it. First time I've seen 10 post in trade to buy and no posts to sell.

I just went with my spirit spammer outside Gate of Fear into Domain of Fear, solo NM.
25 minutes later I had 10 demonic relics.

Just cast armor of the unfeeling, drop spirits in range, painful bond as they clump up and run away like a little girl. The rez shrine is right at the start as well, can't be easier.

Went into Nightfallen Jahai from Gate of the Nightfallen Lands and ran the route below. Nothing but Demonic Relic dropping foes. Didn`t time it, but two runs netted 6 Demonic Relics using 3 heroes and 4 henches.

On the subject of march 15th, this one's easily done with a 55 Mo/D with Fleeting Stability and Mystic Regen.

Start in Dunes of Despair, go outside and use the nearby teleporter. Head southeast towards the portal to the Arid Sea. On the way there will be around 10-15 Sand Giants. First run took me 5 minutes and netted 3 jawbones. Rezone for repeat, that's it.

3 runs solo spirit spam for me, starting out from Thirsty River and making my way to the Giants north of there. There are lots, bring anti-KD unless you wanna be annoyed to death.

Wow I had the 10 jawbones in 6 runs with a 55hp anti-kd. Drop rates are pretty good imo. Got a few more with spiritspamming on the way to nick.

I tried experimenting with some ele builds (water and earth) with a couple of heroes and went from Destiny's Gorge into the Scar, mostly hugging the eastern wall to reach all the Sand Giants in that area. In 5 runs, I got 4 massive jawbones (1, 2, 0, 1, 0). Drop rate didn't seem too bad considering it was getting split with heroes.

I solo-cleared the path from Droknar's Forge to Witman's Folly with my Spirit Spamming Ritualist. In two trips, I got 24 necklaces. On the 3rd trip, I got the 35th necklace, I quit...about 1/2 way through. I only needed 30 and they are not selling for enough gold, so I gave 5 to a guildie.

I won't give the build, except that it a regular channeling/resto SoS build including Resilient Weapon and Ebon Vanguard Assassin.

Solo farmed on my warrior. The key to succes is not to apply any conditions and avoid knockdown by using no other than the emfemous Dolyak Signet! Avaraged 15 necklaces / run and made roughly 100k on the first night by sellng them 1k each.

Farm Smite Crawlers with the W/D(my preference) or one of the numerous other Smite Crawler farm builds available. Whoever put that stupid note saying "Due to various nerfs on Shadow Form and the Skeletons of Dhumm, farming them is impossible" should be kicked in the nuts for their ignorance.

I'm not the best farmer but LOL I thought the same thing. Just some sad sap who wanted to vent. I went to TOPK used the spirit farmer build and as soon as you enter through portal run to the right and get against the corner near the banished dream riders. They will run down and you will agro them. They will then run accross the bridge to get to you (may have to try a few times) cast your spirits near the top of the stairs and watch them (and the npc) do the work and pick up drops. This doesn't always get you what you want but I had all my residue and an ecto inside a half hour and it takes just a few minutes per run.

Great week for me. I farm Ssynn's staff all time and have been hoarding a ton of these things. I think I made more money from the Naga Skins than all the Ssynn's staffs I have ever sold.
