Best route is from Jade Flats north: Clear the small island than head east across the bridge and clear the larger island.

This week was easy, I farmed quite a bit in an hour or so as a solo Spirit Spammer. I just zoned into Archipelagos from Jade Flats, died
Doing this will rez you at a rez shrine on the next island over where Ssyn is. Just work your way back. Got two Ssyn's Staffs aswell.

Exit Unwaking Waters (Luxon) into Silent Surf and you will find bunches of Crest dropping Dragons. I went solo RiT 2nd SoS and concentrated on the smaller groups. [edit... I farmed NM]

If you are Kurzick you may want to take a moment to talk to the Luxon Priest & fight him so the rez shrine works for you, otherwise you are rezzed on an island far, far away.

You'll take a little damage if you ball them all up like i did but you won't die, no worries...

Head out in Silent Surf, take the Blessing, head to the right of the boat run past the first patrol group, then aggro all the dragons in sight.

OwZj0pf8ISSf6MHQniGfKMHM1gA NM BUILD
in forum highlands near the rit boss where alot of ethers are
take out the mobs that consist mainly out of ethes (3) there's a chance for a sapphire to be with em but this build handles em just as well
running on zealous daggers
30 energy
blessed insignia's on armor
you won't go lower than 200 from ethers
if your HP goes lower than 200 it's cuz of sapphires or too low armor: you're doing it WRONG

questions about the skills?
read them first please, you start with headbutt and do falling lotus and spider quickly, blossom follows

attacks can be:

4 5 6 7
4 5 7 for more damage at once, this and below good for taking down a sapphire djinn real fast when he's pressuring u
4 6 7 ditto ^

anything else? i'm at tihark orchard ed1 for the next 10 minutes

Yeah, Nightstalker's group is really quick and easy, great find! The plain old Sliver farm build works wonders against these guys in HM, only bad thing is there might be some degen from the Sapphires.

back.

r9 daggers - zealous, +15/ench, 20% ench

10+1 dagger, 10+3 crit, 11+4 shadow

ball up ethers, then attack djinns. avg 2-3 per run.

EDIT: also, some lightbringer rep [elemental hunt], and 1-2 chests per run...

Quick dumb question, what is that other 1st skill on your effects monitor? I recognize the light-bringer title up, and obviously the assassin skills.

WEEK OF August 9
Keen Oni Talons - Onis

I used a Spirit Spammer.

Aside from 1-2 solo Krakens, you can avoid everything else.... until you get to the map spot of Krakens, there are 3-4 that easily die. Kill them first then pop the onis.

The drop rate sucks.

I was first doing just the first 3 spawns = 2m run
if you want the other 2 spawns... it'll be an extra 2-3m

You mean Morostav Trail. And I haven't seen one good spot to actually solo farm them. If anyone finds one tell me

The correct location

Did abit of farming of the wallows in Melandru's Hope...Biggest pain is getting to that point. With a solo SoS build I strongly reccomend using one of your free slots for Mend Body and Soul (or some other condition removal), because the rot wallows cast spells that try and stop you from moving, and this makes it abit more annoying to try and dodge the arrows from the dredge which are poisoned. On my first run I was dying after every two groups because of poison and going too fast, but with the condition removal I could still keep going fast.

Of course, you could just let the spirits take all the aggro or interrupt poison arrow if you see it being cast, but this is farming...You want to go as fast as possible.

Go all offensive. You really don't need any healing other than Vampirism and the regen you get from the shrine bonus (needed to offset poison). Just set your spirits and stay behind them. I farmed 10 truffles fairly readily, which I used to think was one of the most rare Canthan New Year's Feast items in the game. I also ended up with both a Nunduk bow and that Rot Boss' worthless green.

If you want to kill the bosses ok, otherwise I'd rather not spend the money on the blessing, not like its much though so if you want to take the blessing instead go for it.

Point is if you missed it from my previous post...There are multiple ways of going about the farm. Everyone has posted their suggestions which I also think work fine, so I am just chucking in my 2 cents, seeing as there are NO bar problems with a farm like this.

WEEK OF August 23
2 Glowing Hearts - Fire and Inferno Imps

I used a Spirit Spammer. I brought 3 heros since I wasn't sure what I was going to encounter on my way there. I flagged them after I zoned. They are not needed at all.
Run out of Temple of Ages South West towards Talmark Wilderness.


Once in Talmark Wilderness you will run into a couple of push over Fog Nightmares. There are a few Ancient Oakhearts . I kill them for plant fibers.

This run has over 50 Fire Imps. Once you are done, zone into Majesty's Rest and rinse/repeat if you want. I did 2 runs and ended up with 19 glowing hearts.

About ~20 imps on the way, starting almost right after LA. Much more convenient, imo.

Theres also the one going out left after leaving sanctum cay. One big mob after avoiding some skales, then a big mob after the first big mob where theres only a pinesoul and an aloe in the way. All are reasonable farms. Got 8 hearts (admittedly lucky, had like 4-5 drop in a row from each imp which was amazing.) from one run going from sanctum cay.

Pretty easy farm too, I preferred using a SF death blossom assassin over something like SoS. SF isn't even needed with high crits and way of perfection, but it stops the imps healing themselves when casting spells. Doable in HM, but I don't know why you really need to when the aim is hearts...So many builds can do this farm.

They're so easy to farm you may aswell do it HM though and improve your chances of getting other worthwhile drops (like Tomes) while you are at it.

Did it very easily in HM with a Shield Of Regen Wammo. The Fire Imps seem a little harder than the Inferno Imps, which surprised me (seems they appear earlier in the game), but still perfectly easy to beat regardless.

Ive been farming them with my 330 Ele in Talmark Wilderness HM, usually get an average of 10 hearts per run and loads of Charcoal, in HM they drop 5 lumps at a time, also got a Sapphire and a few lockpicks and some half decent gold drops at times

Mostly Gypsie Ettens here... May have to kill a group of birds when zoning back into Nebo Terrace.

Do run, zone to North Kryta Province, zone back, rinse & repeat. I believe I averaged 2 Humps per run.

Went solo, NM, RiT 2nd, SoS.
