Or where, for that matter. Drop rate is really low, I'm tempted to just buy them but that sort of defeats the purpose.

You should be able to Spirit Spam... pretty much any/Rt can do it. And pretty much all items for Nicholas can be farmed with a spirit spammer.

Pongmei Valley, outside Boreas.
Pull the nearest Rot Wallows to the shrine for easy kills (NPCs help). Then kill the nearest Island Guardian with spirits.

Next put your spirits at the top of the cliff near where the first Guardian was (recast or use Summon Spirits). Then you can hit the second Island Guardian with a longbow/flatbow, and the spirits will attack it... without aggroing all its Rot Wallows :-D

Then run to the third Guardian... same thing, put spirits at Longbow range, and you can kill it without aggroing its Wallows.

Resign, repeat. A sprint, a heal, or "I am Unstoppable!" may help to pick up Guardian Moss if it drops.

Yeah, forgot i had a ranger. He's pretty good at poopin spirits. drop rate is really, really low though. Wish there was a better spot, this is going to take forever to get the 15 I need (multiple accts).

Painbringer · Nov 09, 2009, 07:01 PM // 19:01

finally something i have in my stash

Mustache Mayhem · Nov 09, 2009, 07:24 PM // 19:24

f this.. drop rate too low.. just soloed a bunch of them in pogemi hardmode and best got was 14 wood XD

AngelWJedi · Nov 09, 2009, 07:47 PM // 19:47

got 1 then said the curse words while farming for nic. woot i am lucky this farm is easy. >> FFS! then 30 runs later nothing! >.< so i had to buy 4 more. and i got crap again. 5 crates,10 myst tonics and 10 ales. *sighs*

karlik · Nov 09, 2009, 07:59 PM // 19:59

A little over 2 hours and nothing. Don't need party points that bad - I'll pass

Time better spent on lightbringer

tmakinen · Nov 09, 2009, 08:09 PM // 20:09

Would have been easier if Nick had wanted Scourgewind's Staves ... got 7 of them while farming said boss, and I even happened to have 2 mosses in storage in anticipation of the next celestial dinner. Well, duh, and Nick gave the same stuff as usual. Not. A. Single. Special. Present. For. My. Account. Since. The. Beginning

gw_poster · Nov 09, 2009, 08:47 PM // 20:47

had 4 moss leftover from the poor guardians that died as a result of my massacring a great many rot wallow last time nick was in the area....sold them for 3.5k ea this morning. If prices remain at that level we would have a profitable nick farming week ahead.

Carinae · Nov 09, 2009, 09:32 PM // 21:32

Leave Bai Paasu, go left and cross bridge. Kill Guardian #1. Turn back SW (below lake), kill Guardian #2. Continue SW kill Guardians #3 and #4 (boss), head south towards Sin Naga Boss, run past him, turn to the SE. Kill Guardian #5. Rezone/repeat.

Eragon Zarroc · Nov 09, 2009, 09:50 PM // 21:50

bleh, guardian moss? honestly -_-

Voodoo Rage · Nov 09, 2009, 10:07 PM // 22:07

Well, so much for stashing those for my guild and the next Canthan New Year's feast...

Chasing Squirrels · Nov 09, 2009, 10:11 PM // 22:11

They shoulda made the item easy to get like last weeks

Premium Unleaded · Nov 10, 2009, 01:40 AM // 01:40

Low drop rate is loooooooooooooooooooooooow.

Oh well got the lot eventually, doing runs in the commercial breaks of Flash Foward and Bones. Less tedium in exchange for slower farm is a decent compromise I guess

Kurosaki129 · Nov 10, 2009, 01:46 AM // 01:46

yea like seriously, went with a group of pure players of 7-ish and after 2-3 runs, ONLY ONE player got a moss. I'm not going to waste my time on this one.

stefke86 · Nov 10, 2009, 05:07 AM // 05:07

If this is another one of anets attempts to piss the community off, they succeeded.
25 Pongmei runs and not even 1 drop...

Coney · Nov 10, 2009, 05:16 AM // 05:16

Hmm, I've saved all mine since the last Canthan event, including the runs for rot wallow tusks - I had but 1 in stash.

2 runs later, I'm at 3 total. Not sure I'll finish this one for 2 accounts. Quite painful grind, especially in Maishang (settled for MQ, faster runs - but the boss in M might drop better in long run...)...

SharonC · Nov 10, 2009, 05:46 AM // 05:46

I had 11 in storage left from vanquishing Cantha, and some runs to farm for Scourgewind's Branch a while back. Two hours of farming and I had 13. 1 per hour is ridiculous. So, not doing this one on the secondary accounts this time. We need to farm two more (hopefully tomorrow some time) for the other active guild member.

This is a farm I have always hated during the Canthan New Year.

The Drunkard · Nov 10, 2009, 05:53 AM // 05:53

Was not a fun run...2 hours and the only good thing I get is a keg

On the other hand, I did get about 200 plant fibers...so it wasn't all that bad.

Jensy · Nov 10, 2009, 06:01 AM // 06:01

o_O Took me maybe an hour outside of Boreas to get all 5.

Solo, spirit spamming.
