Default Scythe mod farm

Before anyone complains I have indeed done a search through the forum for a scythe farm, and google, and pvx. I just need scythe mods, and mostly just a place where there is a lot of Dervs, Let me work on setting up a farm any ideas?

Tbh, you'd have better luck farming something worthwhile(eg, ectos), and then buying a scythe mod.

That helps me none, I need to UNLOCk the scythe mods on my account. I'm trying to get my account unlocked and I'm too lazy to farm balth, plus I'm bored and need a new farm.
Beserking Bison
Chilling Wisps
Some skale in grothmaws
and the standard NF bosses/mobs are all I know of, but I can't find a good place to kill them.

Good to hear, my ele is my favorite, and vaettirs are getting old/boring

Edit: I'm trying to terra tank, but they still tear me apart. I'm using

Stoneflesh Aura; Glyph of Swiftness; Obsidian Flesh; Mantra of Earth; Stone Striker; Glyph of Restoration; Ether Nightmare; Cry of Pain

12+1+3 Earth
12 Inspiration
3 E-storage

Radiantly Attuned except 1 survivor and Major vigor on boots, and the Sup Earth magic on hat.

Using a Totem Axe, and Great Conch of Devotion (Armor:16 Health +45 while enchanted received physical damage -2 while enchanted.)

They are tearing me apart with grenths fingers and a few other PBAoE's were you meaning HM or NM?

Hmm I just tried it myself and you're right the AoE kills me.
Going to Try a 330 Ele i think that'll work.

This is the basic build. Most important here are PS and Stoneflesh.
Wikilink: http://pvx.wikia.com/wiki/Build:E/Mo_330_Elementalist

Oh and one more thing. You have to cast PS and THEN Stoneflesh If you do it the other way around stoneflesh will reduce the actual damage and not the reduced damage after PS. !Important! This build is a bit hard in use and will take some practice.

lets just say you cant just farm the money and buy the mod (the best choice!), id say you do chest run until you ID it, most likely some NF areas.

Buying the mod won't unlock it for you, you have to ID it, and its not that I don't want to buy them its that I'd rather farm them

personally I'd farm chests, you'll probably get the mods faster than farming dervs.

Reading before posting will make you look less like an idiot. I don't see the profit in farming chests... I'm not looking to increase a title, and even at 1.1k a pick I'd be losing a lot of money.
