Thanks i prefer this farm over the Yatendi Canyons farm.Yes Yatendi Canyons is shorter and faster but has way less then Holdings of Chokhin.

Holdings of Chokin, SoS spammer, 4-5 per run is quite easy.

This is the method I used - I found it pretty effective. I had six when I finished off my third group, and I could see three more groups on my radar.

Easy week IMO, i got mines in 7mins and considering all you need is one item/gift, the drop rate was high for me....

I found the best run for me was to do Mirror of Lyss. Leave from Mihanu Township and you can hit 4 groups (and a Chest or 2) with out hitting anything else.

There are some beasts around the area but they can be avoided easily.

Nick is in Grothmar Wardowns, in the middle of the map, near the Mantids in the forest. Forgot to put the mini map up.

NOOOOO, Nick No!

Don't do it to the poor yak

Trivia from the official wiki:

"Prolonged consumption of these roots leads to complications of the digestive tract, causing victims to no longer be able to eat anything except more fibrous mandragor roots. This is told to the player by the Ebon Vanguard soldier, Cain Sentor, who is a victim of these symptoms due to his imprisonment at the hands of the Charr."

Nick is actually on the ledge overlooking the Mantid cavern so don't go into the cavern looking for him:

5 Runs, Ranger Rit. Best run 4 drops. Kept dying. Disenchantment seemed to work best. Overall easy, 3 groups right outside, other groups to the right up the hill. Those groups seemed harder.

Anyway, what is this thing they suddenly have for Mandragor Roots? Nice target, easy with a bit of challenge.

Almost forget, usual doodah but also a Traveler's Bo Staff; which Nick says is his second favorite walking stick. First nice thing in probably 5 months.

I got 10 roots in single run, so as always, your results in the farm may vary. I found it best to watch their path, and then lay spirits in their path so that way you can stay out of the way and let the spirits do their job. Usual junk for me, sigh
