Default Orbs, Orbs, Orbs, and....Orbs!

I have played this game for 23hrs consecutively, farming orbs (did Tombs and some UW farm though) and i have 5stacks of 250 Jade Wind Orbs. I have 1 stack of about 26 and growing.
I have heard of Mantid Pincers being an item to save for a collector....anyone else have info or have heard about this?

I can admit, I have no life, I managed to farm just a little over 2,500 orbs, if I sell them all for 350g I will have enough for FoW

If I dont sell them all I might keep them, never know when they may come in handy for an event. Kinda like the Emblems in Kryta being useful for events, save em'

I just farmed about 100 of them, then went about buying another 300 for 200g each.

I sold them all at 400g each... talk about profit

I foolishly farmed 100 orbs. Turns out the simple quests give you 240 orbs at about 3 min per quest...and a dodgeball win in the Dragon Arena gives you 4, I think.

The market for orbs has already bottomed out, congrats to those who sold them last night at a healthy profit (like me)

I got home from work 2 hours before the bottom dropped out on the price of orbs, and I quickly make 300k off of orbs by buying low and selling high. As soon as the quests and games arrived my fun little trading spree was over. Welp, I guess I'll have to resort to selling unopened presents. I opened a ton of presents at first and basically got either a Bean Cake, Rice Wine, or 4-5 orbs. I don't believe this is true, but I saw a guy in Lions Arch selling presents in lions arch for 5k advertising that you have a chance to get a mini-pet. If that were true I would open more, but I doubt it is. I'll sell them to turn a small profit, but I won't resort to lieing to people about what the gifts are.

It certainly is easy enough to get them questing, especially if you quest with all your chars. If I sell mine I will still make a profit

Anyone that buys an unopened present from you for more than 375 gold is either (1) an idiot or (2) doesn't have Factions.

#1 is true because you can go buy them from the Festival Prize guy for that much (25 tickets x 15 gold each).

I gave up farming them at 70. I don't know how people do it. It was bad enough doing it for candy cane shards.

The 4 quest line from Imperial Hanso takes approximately 30-40 minutes total and gives 240 total Orbs as rewards.

Don't go out shooting the poor Kappa hatchlings, for the love of all turtlekind.
