Default Canthan staves.

Hey,
I'm trying to somewhat build up a collection of Canthan staves, especially the rare/flashy ones and I could use some help with spots to get em. I'm more of a chestrunner though I'm also willing to do farms, whatever works best.

Skins I'm looking for and thing I've discovered/doing atm:

-Celestial - Easy, vermin chestrunning.
-Bo - I'm killing those Sensali birds on Shing Jea island on HM atm, two so far. Could use some more advice.
-Forbidden - Chestrunning Raisu Palace HM
-Plaguebord - meh Zen Daijun
-Dragon - No idea, I've never gotten one.
-Platinum - Same story as Dragon Staves, none so far
-Outcast - Ehh, Outcast mobs? >.>

Places I've tried to chestrun in:
Pongmei Valley(for echo/goth, not really relevant)
Melandru's Hope
Luxon Assassins/Halcyon
Xaquang Skyway
Raisu Palace
Rhea's Crater

Farms I've tried so far:
Dragon Moss(for echo/goth, not really relevant)
Sensali on Shing Jea island
Jade Brotherhood outside of The Marketplace
Vermin(hurr durr)
Luxon Assassins/Halcyon

Pretty sure I missed some, but you get the point, I want these staves ;p.

So yeah, if anyone has any spots/tips they'd be appreciated.

Ill second that, although havent done it since the skills nerf on them Sin's, now they actually hurt my ele.

Dont hold this against me, but im PRETTY sure that Platinum Staff's are a Shiro'kin drop, if i remember correctly ive had a few from Raisu Palace chest running. Ive 100% had Platinum Blades and Bows from there. Of course thats also good for Forbidden.

I personally do Minister Cho's Estate for Bo Staff's. Had quite a few there, no decent ones though, all Q13 crap :P

Ive never had a Dragon Staff, but heard the MASSIVE mob of Jade Brotherhood in Wajun Bazzar or whatever is excellent for that.

Outcast staffs i would say SoS in Rheas Crater. Had a few, if i remember correctly. Or when Jade Swords first came out i Chest Ran outside Seafarer's rest if i remember correctly, had LOADS from there, always sold them though ( was like 2 years ago...come on)

Plagueborn are really crappy to try and get. Although Zen Daijun is proberly the best, my friend farms there on occasion and said its alright.

And for the record, Echovald Shields and Gothic Defenders are proberly not worth farming. Ive done 400+ Dragon Moss runs and had 3 Echovald Shields and 2 Gothic Defenders, and ive only kept 1 Echo shield that wasnt worth selling to the merchant. Even thats Q12. And my baby Q8 White Gothic Defender

Anyways, i hope ive helped out a bit!

I farmed Byzzr Wingmender for a while on my Necro and got quite a few Gothic Defenders/Echovald Shields. Also some nice Gothic Swords Run is super easy/fast, lots of chances+Elite Monk tomes and green monk offhand.

I've had several Dragon Staves drop from Halcyon Job and the surrounding chests in HM. Bit harder to run now that they the sins have a KD
