W/XX Jade Wind Orb Farm Build SOLO!!!!

Stats:
Strength 12
Hammer: 12
Tactics: 10

Skills:
Charge
Sprint
Any 6 other skills you like

Weapon of Choice:
The Ice Breaker (though any othe max dmg hammer will do)

Go to Ran Musu Gardens on Shing Jae Island. Exit to Kinya Province. Exterminate all the bugs (a.k.a. 1-hit-mantis) there that you can find, including the boss. Then prepare to make some turtle-soup on the beaches. When you are done and your appetite is still there, map back to Ran Musu and repeat. Mantisses and Kappas drop about 5% Jade Wind Orbs I think.

Ofc, this build isnt serious, any lvl 20 can farm bugs and turles outside Ran Musu. But Sprint and Charge just makes it go faster. Dont waste time and energy on skills, they are 1-hit anyways, at least for Warrior.

A guildie uses Barrage + ranger sprints, which also seems to do the trick fast enough. Minions dont have the time to kill things, because my wand already kills mantisses on 2nd blow with Necro. Just go for fast and many kills.

You need 250 Jade Wind Orbs (presumably, cos Day of Tengu also needed 250, and various transcripts from Gaile have said the same, but I havent seen them myself). At the END of festival, Emperor appears and you can turn them into Masks. You can also play minigames, special pvp and new quests to earn Orbs, presumably.

well, since my post i did my usual kirin/undergrowth run and got so far: perfect dragon daggers (15 always), 14K Gold and 21 jade orbs.

How are you all doing? Just to see if i need to change location.....

I am a necro/ranger, and I take the quest 'The Siege at Tsumei Village'. If you dont have it, partner up with someone who has both it and 'The Threat Grows'. Even with drops being split 50/50 I get it faster this way then any other.
The Siege at Tsumei Village adds waves to both sides of the outpost, while The Threat Grows adds it to the west side.

Skills needed are: Barrage, Tigers Fury, Soul Feast, Edge of Extinction, Ressurection Signet (if with another).

Attributes are: Marksman 12, Beast Mastery 6 (Lower if EoE kills you), Death magic 6+1, Soul Reaping 9+1.

Simply go out either side of Tsumei village, drop EoE near the huge groups, kill a few with barrage and they all die, rinse and repeat. You may need to abandon and retake the quest in between.

Averaged around 3-5 orbs per run, taking 2 minutes. Things like dyes drop often as well, and I even got a nice gold too.

I guess the new quests will give them as a reward... not sure but i think they will.
