! We just have to put our minds together. Here are my contributions (among a few others).Shiverpeak Griffon Farming:
Where: North Exit of Fort Rankor (Southern Shiverpeaks) aka. Snake Dance
Skills: Protective Spirit, Shield of Judgement, Healing Breeze, Bonetti's Defense, Holy Veil, Balthazar's Spirit, Blessed Aura, Mending
Breakdown: +9 Heal, Max Smite, +10 Prot, +12 Divine
(play around with your combo's for your best results)
How To Get There: As soon as you exit fort rankor, Go straight, Take a left at the fork in the road. Steer clear of the group of Dwarves and take a left into the Blessed Griffons (there may be a vew dolyak drarves around but im sure you can handle those).
How To Farm It: Normal Griffon Style...Just imagine the Dolyak's are sort of like large dev's in the desert (aka deal with them).
Gold Per Hour: [TBA]
Downsides: Dolyaks are hard to deal with...very hard (avoid if possible).
--------------------
Talus Chute Ice Imp Farming
Where: Outside the entrence to Ice Caves of Sorrow (aka Talus Chute)
Skills: Protective Spirit, Shield of Judgement, Healing Breeze, Bonetti's Defense, Holy Veil, Balthazar's Spirit, Blessed Aura, Mending
NOTE: For better results, you may want to switch out bonetti's defense with ballanced stance.
Breakdown: +9 Heal, Max Smite, +10 Prot, +12 Divine
(play around with your combo's for your best results)
How To Get There: As you step outside of Ice Caves of Sorrow, Proceed to the revive point. Take a right turn (as that is the only place you can go). Cross the bridge and you will notice a fairly large group (not as big as those up in mineral springs) of Ice Imps.
How To Farm It: I advise you watch this video-> http://files.filefront.com/idswmv/;4.../fileinfo.html of Remmeh soloing Ice Imps with a 55 monk. Once you have seen the video, you will notice two things.
1. Remmeh's life started at 8hp. (you dont need to get 8 hp. just lower your hp!. get the -20 offhand from presear (poor tenant quest) or any other -20 offhand. equip. die once or just use your -50 offhand (for 55 hp) if you dont have one.
NOTE: Buying or farming for a better -20 offhand would help A LOT since the only problem that I find very common is that I run out of Energy when I need it. Another might be that I cant seem to solve the interrupt problem well.
2. Remmeh casted SoJ BEFORE going into the pack of Ice Imps (so he has time to recast his Protective Spirit when the ice imps are knocked down)
Use this method to farm the Ice Imps (and beware not to aggro those siege golems!
)Gold Per Hour: [TBA]
NOTE: Nice Drops
Downsides: VERY HARD. Interrupted a lot. For Experienced Farmers. No perfected build. No IDS.

Lord_Seafood's Ice Imp Build:
Quote: Mo/Me
Inspiration 6
Healing 13
Smiting 16
Protection 7
Divine 7
Protective Spirit
Breeze
Shield of Judgement
Zealots Fire
Mantra of Resolve
Essence Bond
Mending
Balthazars Spirit
I find I can take about 5 or 6 Imps at a time. Just keep Mantra of Resolve up and watch for the drop in energy everytime you cast in a Malestrom thing. Its probably beneficial to stay in the Malestrom thingies as you'll be getting 2 energy every hit. So you'll find energy isn't a problem. Most of the time Zealots will be useless, however if you get one Imp on its own it makes it a hell of a lot quicker so I choose to bring it. I also run out and take out the Ice Golems in the frozen river thingie, theres more Imps further north. Probably wise to bring some keys too, I saw three chests on one run. [NOTE: Resolve works WONDERS. Thanks
]--edit--
I would like to also add that it is much easier to farm these Imps with 2 55 monks. One would run an echo spell breaker 55 monk (yes this one doesnt attack) while the other is a regular SoJ 55 monk (as seen above). The echo 55'er cast sb on the attacking 55 monk and maintains it. Don't know how effective this may be (since drops are spread out). Tested it with a friend only once before he had to go. More tests and a build later.
----------------------
After getting the Ice Imp farming down, I'll try and see if farming the Siege Golems that are near the Ice Imps are profitable as well.
-----------------------
Sand Drake Farming:
Where: Outside of Elona's Reach (aka Salt Flats)
Skills: Protective Spirit, Shield of Judgement, Healing Breeze, Bonetti's Defense, Holy Veil, Balthazar's Spirit, Blessed Aura, Mending
Breakdown: +9 Heal, Max Smite, +10 Prot, +12 Divine
(play around with your combo's for your best results)
How To Get There: Walk outside and the Sand Drakes are scattered around that area.
How To Farm It: Same as Desert Griffons (including those loveable dev's)
Gold Per Hour: [TBA]
NOTE: most likely decent - low yield of gold/items compared to other areas listed on this thread. Other than that, THIS IS ONE OF THE EASIEST 55 FARMING LOCATIONS. Reccomended for training for new 55 monks.
Downsides: Decent - Low gold/item yield. Monster groups are spread out over a vast area.
