I read allot of BS here..
If you want to get you FoW you've to options:
1. Power Trade
2. Farm

When you're going to Farm, do things like a Smite run. There are several builds for it. Also a Spider Run in the Fissure of Woe is very profitable. You can do like 2-3 spider runs and get 5-6 shards out of it. Also 2-3 Smite Runs and you'll end up with 2+ ectos. Repeat this several times a day and you'll have your FoW in about a month I think.

Spider runs used to be profitable, but since shards have dropped so much in value solo smite runs are really a lot more profitable. Being able to do the runs with a D/Me can make a spider run faster, but it's still not enough to make up for the difference in value of drops. That being said, spider runs are still fun and can be a nice break if you are getting burnt out from smite runs. From my experience, the E/Me solo smite build is the most efficient I've seen.

The shards value doesn't really matter if you're just farming them to get your FoW, as you'll be using them to craft the armor.

2-3 smite runs does not give you 2+ ectos. It's all luck. i've done 5 in a row and only get 1. I've done 2 in a row and get 4. It's all luck. Which I seem to have none of :P.
