Ran SoS Rit with no problems, but they dropped very rarely for me. Took me an hour and a half.

We found him in Boreas Seabed. He's searching for 10 Kraken Eyes

Right outside Zos Shivros channel

I remember framing them in the Boreas Seabed mission, during canthan new year. Don't know if it's the best spot though...

Urass · Aug 29, 2011, 04:25 PM // 16:25

The group (3 or 4) right outside Zos Shivros gives quick access, a minute to kill and I averaged an eye every third run.

CharrGirl · Aug 29, 2011, 04:45 PM // 16:45

Hard time with spawns, drop rate is very very low at least for me, I don't understand why Nicholas doesn't ask for only 5 i got 3 in 1 hour - .-

KingCrab · Aug 29, 2011, 04:52 PM // 16:52

Anyone find another good option?

Da Kenster · Aug 29, 2011, 05:03 PM // 17:03

I did the ones outside Zos Shivros a few times, got a gold, some dyes, a monstrous eye, but no kraken eyes. Decided to give Boreas seabed a try, brought heroes for the first part, then left them behind. First two krakens killed dropped eyes. Got 5 total that run as a warrior running a spirit build, always funny.

Humdrum, Ranger SoS spam right outside Zos Shivros. Got 10 quickly, maybe one every two runs. Downside, felt like a bot. Thought of reporting myself. At least the turnin point was convenient.

My first attempt at farming Kraken eyes, I started out solo from Zos Shivros Channel, in a counter-clockwise loop around Boreas Seabed. Had to fight two Naga patrols and about 5 groups of Oni pop-ups. Haven't recorded the time it took to make a complete loop around the area, but I figure > 15 mins.

Decided on my second attempt to try solo farming the 2 patrolling groups of Kraken spawns in Unwaking Waters by using the re-resing trick by dying at the Harvest Temple entrance. But despite how much Kurzick faction (that is currently controlling the area) I had, I was never able to res at the southeast shrine. So I took my nec trio and fought my way to the shrine where I used them to clear out the patrolling area of other foes then I pinned the heroes back to southwest of the res shrine until they were grey out then I picked off the Kraken spawns. Total time: 9 mins (could have been quicker if I took a full party of heroes.)

For my third attempt, I went back to Boreas Seabed with a full party of heroes. I exited Zos Shivros, took the priest blessing, then I pinned my heroes to just left of Geoffer Pain Bringer's bunch while I went east and took out the four Kraken spawns. After this, I went back to my party who have already finished off Pain Bringer's group. I moved/pinned my heros to a Naga patrol west of that area. Just north there is a single Kraken spawn that took me about 1-2 mins to kill -- On later runs I discovered the outcast may kill it before I can get to it.

After the Naga patrol is killed, I pinned my heroes to the furthest southeast corner of the map (so they are greyed out) while I walked my way northward to the group of Kraken spawns and finished them off. Total time for killing 6-7 Kraken spawns: 5 mins.

I've tried different ways to do out of Zos Chivros -- just doing the first group, running counter-clockwise and fighting the few spawns and oni, and taking heroes to clear some areas to get to faster patrols -- none have been very satisfying for me. But I'm doing pretty well in the Boreas Seabed mission with spirit-spam. It's mostly just kraken in a small area (the few other patrols that might get in the way are dispatched quickly). And even though Zhu spawns after getting down to a couple kraken left, the heroes help dispatch him and he has a chance to drop eyes, as well. He dropped 2 on my last run, giving me a total of 6 in 15 minutes work.

Raven Wing · Aug 30, 2011, 09:46 AM // 09:46

I decided to do some counting and went to kill the mob right outside Zos Shivros.
It took 113 runs to get 20 eyes for my 2 accounts.
Yawn.....

ranger rothers · Aug 30, 2011, 09:54 AM // 09:54

Turning right out of Zos and going solo anti-clockwise worked for me. ~10 Kraken and you can easily avoid the Oni spawns once you realise where they are.

Gli · Aug 30, 2011, 12:46 PM // 12:46

That's the run I've been doing. Very little to show for it yet. Only 2 eyes after almost an hour of it. Got 8 regurgitated masses though, and 5 rares. More rares than trophies, sheesh.

LordDragon · Aug 30, 2011, 05:54 PM // 17:54

Yuck! 2 years in a row I have solo farmed an entire district of items for Canthan New Year. Kraken Eyes are one of the reasons I am NOT sponsoring a district for a 3rd year.

Sube · Aug 31, 2011, 04:18 AM // 04:18

Took me 2 hours solo spirit spamming around Boreas Seabed to get my 10.

There are 2 groups of 3-5 and 3 areas with one solo kraken, so between 9-13 per run.

And all for some more summoning stones, sparklers, and some ale

Malganis · Aug 31, 2011, 04:34 AM // 04:34

Thanks a lot Nicholas. I was saving Luxon Pendants for that area, and you choose to collect Kraken Eyes. *sigh*

dagrdagaz · Aug 31, 2011, 04:38 PM // 16:38

Farmed (solo, spirit spam) the group of 3 or 4 right outside Zos Shivros
Avarage, i think i got one Kraken Eye per 6 runs

Phoebe Poison · Aug 31, 2011, 06:12 PM // 18:12

Imo best route to farm them:

Naga patrols easy avoidable, only one Oni group (probably you can avoid them too). I was getting 1 or 2 eyes per run, only one run without any.

EDIT: Just got 5 in one run! ^^

Gli · Aug 31, 2011, 09:00 PM // 21:00

That route is the one I'm taking. That oni spawn on your map pops 3-4 oni.

This means I kill 9-11 kraken spawn and 3-4 oni every run. And wouldn't you know, I'm getting far more keen oni talons than kraken eyes. The damn things just won't drop for me it seems.
