I have over 300 of them... just do the pvp Dragon Arena, here's what you do:

Go to the middle of the arena with your team (where the 2 columns are). Dodge the Dragon Blasts that the other guys use, then fire back with your own Dragon Blast. Keep Trade Winds up for ez dodging. Don't follow or attack the other team, make them come to you.

I have several 20+ win streaks under my belt from the above tactic. I farmed all 309 orbs that way.

Fastest so far in my opinion is:
Ranger using Quickshot
Ele using Flare, but a mes doing this would be even faster.

Good spots to farm:
Kinya outside of Ran Musu (duh)
Saoshang Trail (since they're all lined up and easy to kill)

I do that with an A/R. The PvP mission nets you ~an orb a minute. 100% chance of 4 orbs per win. So you guys get ~3 orbs per 2-5 minute run and the pvp mission is 4 orbs in a minimum of ~3 mins 5 seconds (3 rezzes, 3 sec invincibility from rez, 2 castings of Dragon Blast).

Oh well, I'm amazing at the Dragon Arena and I almost have 10k faction with Balthazar from it.

What I did was...

Level 20 ranger. At Ran Musu Gardens.
16 marks, 13 expertise.

Get a bow with long range.

Use Read the Wind and Quick Shot and begin to machine gun them to death. I find this method a lot faster than Barrage

Any other complaints about Elementalists doing massive fiery hellburning AoE farming?

Well, look at it this way:

Hokay, so you've got someone like me, who has 6 characters and who wants a mask for each one. Yes, each set of Quests will give me 240 Orbs; but that still leaves 10 Orbs to be gotten in another manner (for each character; therefore I must obtain 60 more Jade Wind Orbs). Now, I could do the Dragon Arena or Mini-Games to obtain the Orbs, but let's face it, I'm a cheap bastage and can't be bothered buying tickets and taking chances to maybe get 4 Jade Wind Orbs.

So, to get the 60 Orbs I need, I walk outside and blow stuff up. Spend about 40 seconds clearing an area, get 10-12 Jade Wind Orbs.

Yeah, it's all a matter of personal preference in the end. And yes, it's nice for the lower leveled people because then they aren't intimidated by fighting a bunch of experienced, level 20 players and/or level 18 Lesser Grasps.

The lvl 18 Grasps are cake. Shroud of Distress, Assassin's Promise, BLS, Horns, Spider, Fangs...dead...repeat combo with instant recharge of all skills from AP.

Granted, A/R Barrage would be faster. I do agree with you though that it's nice that the lower level characters can easily farm orbs. I weep in Dragon Arena when I have to Dragon Blast a level 4 who doesn't know what's going on or why I can dodge the light orbs of doom.

This is a much better and easier orb build!!! (Seriously... Why make a thread about orb farming...)

They changed it weeks (maybe even months) ago that now you can do the missions on shing jea with your tyrian characters.

Look, you might laugh at this guide, but apparently there are just some totally clueless ppl around that dont understand (poo) about what Tsunami is saying. Thats why I just spend more than 30 secs into writing a little explanation how it works.

And I made this guide, before there were quests available that could give all characters 240 orbs. Now its actually useless to go farming with any build.

About the clueless people... no pun intended... yes... you CAN get with your tyrian characters into Ran musu! Its an old update about 1 month ago, that allows any tyrians to do both missions on island as well. Also Canthan characters can do missions BEFORE Lions Arch now

If that isnt enough... I figured out a way to do the first mission with my Kryta Warior in 4:20 mins... if that isnt Grandmasters level (5 swords) i dont know it anymore...

Proof? I wont believe that crap unless I see a pic with your finish time.

As for the guide... Yes I'm going to laugh at it... This was pointless even before the quests... All you need is a lvl 20 with decent skills and you can mass murder the all the mantids you could ever want.

Well.. as I said...

20/20 Wand or Rod, and a 20/20 offhand (both for Fire Magic) and you have instant casts and quick as heck recharges almost all the time for things like Rodgort's Invocation, Meteor Shower...

Not to mention the spells you all seem to be forgetting, such as Flare, Immolate, Fireball, etc... You'll be doing somewhere around 350+ damage to the Mantids and Kappa, and 150+ do the Crimson Skull... Didn't bother tracking the Naga but they were one-shot burninates.

The Elementalist's World does not revolve around Firestorm...
