Agree on this too. Viewing the items people got and discussions was awesome.... now guru is less fun.
I think the mods are running out of things to do around here and have become a tad obsessed with "clean" threads.

Don't know if this will help, but I used 2 characters to speed things up. Left from Jennur's, north thru the Mines, then up the left most border of Holdings. I used solo SoS and could kill all the mobs, left the 2nd character by the portal so I didn't have to run all the way back down. Run takes only a few mins I think but I had to do it like 100 times to get 10 Pillaged Goods. I got 129 of the Hunting Minotaur Horns... This one was extremely painful, drop rate is either horrible or I was very unlucky. Sometimes 10+ runs with no Pillaged Goods whatsoever. Things to do on a slow day at work.

Good luck.

Yeah the drop rate is horrible and if I consider what I normally get in my gifts I have to say not worth it. I can play (not farm which would even be faster) and make the gold I would need to buy what I normally get in half the time it will take to get the item for this week. This is probably the week I would have got the doll or yak mini lol but cant bring myself to do it. First time I've seen 10 post in trade to buy and no posts to sell.

I just went with my spirit spammer outside Gate of Fear into Domain of Fear, solo NM.
25 minutes later I had 10 demonic relics.

Just cast armor of the unfeeling, drop spirits in range, painful bond as they clump up and run away like a little girl. The rez shrine is right at the start as well, can't be easier.

Went into Nightfallen Jahai from Gate of the Nightfallen Lands and ran the route below. Nothing but Demonic Relic dropping foes. Didn`t time it, but two runs netted 6 Demonic Relics using 3 heroes and 4 henches.

Same for me - very easy this week. The first group dropped 3 relics!! I think I killed 10 groups to get 10 relics.

On the subject of march 15th, this one's easily done with a 55 Mo/D with Fleeting Stability and Mystic Regen.

Start in Dunes of Despair, go outside and use the nearby teleporter. Head southeast towards the portal to the Arid Sea. On the way there will be around 10-15 Sand Giants. First run took me 5 minutes and netted 3 jawbones. Rezone for repeat, that's it.

Followed your directions and only found 4-6 Sand giants by the portal. Killed them and rezoned about 10 times now and not a single massive jaw bone. You must have gotten very lucky. Its an easy farm but for me at least the drop rate is horrendous.

If you keep go northwest from that res shrine, there's like five more to the south. It's an easy farm except for the Rockshot that can consistently Dshot your Prot Spirit.

3 runs solo spirit spam for me, starting out from Thirsty River and making my way to the Giants north of there. There are lots, bring anti-KD unless you wanna be annoyed to death.

Go straight north till you find another 2 groups, then a very small way west of that another 2 groups.

Agree , farm is easy but drop rate is really awful. Tried 55 too , same results , stats for me are 5-6 runs 1-2 items.

Wow I had the 10 jawbones in 6 runs with a 55hp anti-kd. Drop rates are pretty good imo. Got a few more with spiritspamming on the way to nick.

I tried experimenting with some ele builds (water and earth) with a couple of heroes and went from Destiny's Gorge into the Scar, mostly hugging the eastern wall to reach all the Sand Giants in that area. In 5 runs, I got 4 massive jawbones (1, 2, 0, 1, 0). Drop rate didn't seem too bad considering it was getting split with heroes.
