I did a search in this forum and couldn't find a build specifically for this, and if there's a seperate build thread somewhere specifically for nicholas trophies then please link and I'll close this.

So yea, any suggestions on where to farm margonites? I tried domain of secrets just to test some builds out but the environmental effect shut them all down, so I don't even have a place to try different builds now. Where is a good place to find lots of margonites without any enviromental effects? Also any build suggestions would be appreciated.

Lots of Margonites, no environment effects.

One of the easiest places to farm Margonite masks is the Nundu Bay Mission. As stated by the wiki, as for a build cant help ya on that part.

You could try the sunspear/lightbringer points worm farm in the sulpherous wastes outside Remains of Sahlahja in hard mode. There are no environmental effects, can be done with hero/hench and inside the jujundu worms. As a bonus you get points towards those two titles.

Neither of those help if you've already finished them or don't want to do a chain of quests to unlock them. Furthermore, by "farming" I am referring to solo farming, not "where can I go H/H". Also, there's nothing in the sticky that doesn't allow for a thread like this, so leave the moderating to the moderators.

To everyone else: I'll give nundu bay and when i find a good build for it I'll post back here.

edit- actually no I wont because the only character I have that mission for is my war... RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO

Well you never said that. I know at least the battle of turai's used to be a fairly common farming quest.

Pretty much 1 and kinda two only instead of profession it's item which gets into 7.

On a slightly helpful note any char who's finished the other side of those 2 missions should be able to run to nundu and do the mission. In case you mean they all went with the other mission

Protect the Learned FtW.

3 solo runs, 15 masks, job done!

I had 10 in storage already so I loaded them up and left for Nick. By the time I got there I had 14. These things are dropping like crazy. Price dropped from 1k ea to around 400 in less than 1 hour.

I wonder if ANet has boosted the drop rates for the nick items or if I was just lucky to get 4 on the way???

They might have uped the droprate, but there is no real way to confirm.

As for farming the margonites, if it's just the masks your after, just do nundu bay. I got my 10 masks in 1 run before I even got to the harbringers, and that was with an 8 man hench team on normal. Ignore jonah and just run out and kill everything

Not really. The biggest nerf to these runs was the introduction of loot scaling and the Rate of Kill "bug" that Anet introduced to reduce the number of drops from monsters to one per mob if the mob was simul-killed using AoE damage.

To farm this I think I nowadays use:
Bonder (with EoE)
E/A Nuker (similar to the old gloom farmer)
