clearing kinya and peninsula
barrage, sav shot, dodge, dodge2, heal area, vig spirit, live vic
I don't use live vic, heal area or vig spirit unless .. well I just don't need to. I also run around with my vamp out to try to give the mobs a chance before I 1 hit them.

Been farming them with my 55 monk, heres a quick guide if you havent got you own spot. Head out from Seitung Harbor and head north zoning through the giant cave. Just head out and round up the groups of Kappa nearst to you and slaughter them. When your done just run back rezone and repeat. Been getting 1-3 orbs per rezone.
Pyrthas
I've been running back and forth through Saoshang Trail with my thumper (just because it was the best dps I had on a Canthan character). Making a run through it (just one direction) takes about 3-4 minutes, and I seem to be averaging about 4 orbs.
Nailstabber
question, do they drop all over Cantha? i've just logged on with my assa on the island, walked to the next city to test my build and got 2 orbs. that was in like less then 5 minutes, but if they drop all over Cantha, i can use my farming warrior to harvest them in my normal farming places.

Vermins drop them, I farm Vermins to get Orbs 
Guildmaster Cain
W/XX Jade Wind Orb Farm Build SOLO!!!!
Stats:
Strength 12
Hammer: 12
Tactics: 10
Skills:
Charge
Sprint
Any 6 other skills you like
Weapon of Choice:
The Ice Breaker (though any othe max dmg hammer will do)
Go to Ran Musu Gardens on Shing Jae Island. Exit to Kinya Province. Exterminate all the bugs (a.k.a. 1-hit-mantis) there that you can find, including the boss. Then prepare to make some turtle-soup on the beaches. When you are done and your appetite is still there, map back to Ran Musu and repeat. Mantisses and Kappas drop about 5% Jade Wind Orbs I think.
Ofc, this build isnt serious, any lvl 20 can farm bugs and turles outside Ran Musu. But Sprint and Charge just makes it go faster. Dont waste time and energy on skills, they are 1-hit anyways, at least for Warrior.
A guildie uses Barrage + ranger sprints, which also seems to do the trick fast enough. Minions dont have the time to kill things, because my wand already kills mantisses on 2nd blow with Necro. Just go for fast and many kills.
You need 250 Jade Wind Orbs (presumably, cos Day of Tengu also needed 250, and various transcripts from Gaile have said the same, but I havent seen them myself). At the END of festival, Emperor appears and you can turn them into Masks. You can also play minigames, special pvp and new quests to earn Orbs, presumably.

I am a necro/ranger, and I take the quest 'The Siege at Tsumei Village'. If you dont have it, partner up with someone who has both it and 'The Threat Grows'. Even with drops being split 50/50 I get it faster this way then any other.
The Siege at Tsumei Village adds waves to both sides of the outpost, while The Threat Grows adds it to the west side.
Skills needed are: Barrage, Tigers Fury, Soul Feast, Edge of Extinction, Ressurection Signet (if with another).
Attributes are: Marksman 12, Beast Mastery 6 (Lower if EoE kills you), Death magic 6+1, Soul Reaping 9+1.
Simply go out either side of Tsumei village, drop EoE near the huge groups, kill a few with barrage and they all die, rinse and repeat. You may need to abandon and retake the quest in between.
Averaged around 3-5 orbs per run, taking 2 minutes. Things like dyes drop often as well, and I even got a nice gold too.
