They are deep within the zone in the first city. Too far to make it a good farm. The ones in Turai's are few and far between as well and you have to get by a load of other crap to get to them. They don't drop one every time either. Worst drop rate I've seen and I solo to them. There are 2 you can get to with a Maelstrom or Fire djinn pretty quickly but as I said the drop rate is slow and not worth the farm time. Last week I was getting 5 stones per run and making 2k-3k each for them but this is rediculous and not worth my time. I'll probably do my 5 and get my gifts and that's it. Gonna be a lot of players not getting their gifts this week unless they pay 3k each for these things.

Keep in mind first city only has a 4 man party size. Which means due to loot scaling, you will have about twice the odds to actually get an item from any particular kill compared to the 8 man area.

I have had several dry runs on this, so your promise of one essence per run is out the window. And it takes me four minutes with that build.

Also, since there are no Communing skills in that build, why does it have 9 Communing? You'd be better off to take those points and raise Expertise to at least 12.

And then go 5-6 runs with nothing.

Haha your so freakin lucky and i guess a gz goes to you.

Tearmaker · Oct 19, 2009, 10:43 PM // 22:43

Drop rate was fine for me I guess: 3 runs to get 5.

3 on the first run and one each time after.

Of course Nick didn't really give me anything good for it just some more merchant stones and red rock candies

I found that farahnur has a much better drop rate than turais procession.

So I finally spent some time with my lvl3 paragon, going through the storyline until War Preparation (Wind and Water). Now I'm just farming this quest. It's extremely easy. Just outside Kodlonu Hamlet, no other enemies to fight, 11 Water Djinns to kill, rezone and repeat. Set up spirits near the sailors and watch 'em die. Run takes about a minute.

Damn water djinn essence, this is the first time I'm sitting out from Nicholas's demands

Coney · Oct 20, 2009, 01:21 AM // 01:21

Wholy hell, this has got to be the worst farm eva!!! 3 so far, after about 35 minutes farming...

Painbringer · Oct 20, 2009, 02:11 AM // 02:11

OF course you sometimes get nothing, I did it to get my 10 and I got almost always one per run, once I got 3.

About the 9 com, this was an adapted on -the-fly build, that's why. The only difference is 1 sec in each running skill (using a sup already), if you take a staff you don't need the energy.

the 2-3 min: I take 2-3 min to get there (\age), I estimated 1 min to kill which I think it's not that off. Maybe it's 4 min.

Daroc · Oct 20, 2009, 04:55 AM // 04:55

I got 6 in 15-20mins in Fahrunur. 4 runs, first run none, then 2 on each subsequent run.

Got nothing exceptional from Nick this time either :-/

Is it just my browser or is the first post not showing Nick's location?

Ahh, the forum does not allow attachments to be viewed unless one is logged in. (It normally gives a warning that an attachment is present though. I guess since it was linked directly though the IMG code it didn't this time.)
As soon as I logged in the piccy showed up.

Thanks!

After a nice and easy Fahranur farm the results are...

10 Mysterious Tonics
30 Rockets

It's been over a month since I got anything valuable from the gifts, and even then it was a Keg :P
