I've been farming Jaya Bluffs for quite some time now on my Ritualist. I've gone through quite a few builds, and recently started using this one:

Ritualist/Dervish
Restoration Magic: 12+1+2
Earth Prayers: 12

This build has worked great for me, and would expect it to do the same for any other feather farmer. It could easily be run as a dervish primary also, I just prefer my Ritualist over my Dervish.

My average run is about 80-140 feathers (average 15-25 crests) and takes anywhere from 9-15min. Hope this helps, and happy farming!

PS: I've found Jaya Bluffs to be much more efficient than Northern Kryta for farming feathers. It's faster, and you normally get more per run in my experiences. I'll agree though, that Nahpui Quarter is an excellent place to farm with a 330 Ritualist. You can normally get a stack of feathers in a couple runs with some practice.

Weapon; I used Alem's Remedy

Skills;
Troll Unguent - Heal during battle
VwK - Damage
Vengeful Weapon - Damage
Ancestor's Rage - Damage
Light of Deldrimor - Damage
Snow Storm - Damage
Storm Chaser - For energy and speed between mobs.
(Optional) - I took Serpent's Quickness but I never even used it. Dwarven Stability might be good.

This is the route, I like to clear out all of them and it didn't take me long at all (14mins).

People generally don't take this route but I completed it in 14 mins. Proof;

That run I got 79 feathers but I have got near 100 in the past. A few golds and lots of valuable runes; vigor, radiant, survivor etc.

EDIT: Did another run with Dwarven Stability and got it down to 13mins but enrgy management was loads better, 78 feathers;

So yeah... near 100 feathers in 15mins. It is VERY POSSIBLE.

I can understand there may be reasons for fast runs but 3 runs to get a stack against 2 slower runs to get similar amounts? 78 - 100 feathers average out to possibly a stack in 3 runs. VwK kills almost all instantaneously and the cause of less drops. So this is not as efficient as other builds, but it does the job.

Yeah I understand that. Just out of interest what build do you run? =]

I run both ele with sliver and rit using VwK. There is a way to squeeze more drops from foes with the rit build as shown in the pic below. Overall, I prefer using ele as in the long run the ele averaged better in feather drops than the rit. I died once

a punishment for wanting attractive poses for screenies without due regards for foes around.
