Since the event starts today I m wondering if theres a good/best way to get lots of these things ^^ 3 weeks ago i would have said the turais procession were the best place to get those things, but anet had a lot freetime so they made something just for fun, you guys know the story. where is now the best place to kill many monster in a short amount of time, im counting on you guys ^^

Yes anywhere is a good place to farm them. They drop from everything. If you are going after just those then pick a low lvl area with tons of enemies and hack away over and over.

Such as the end of the Northern Wall mission in NM (you get Charr Carvings there as well) or the beginning of Nolani Academy mission.

One of the first Nf missions has lots of mobs coming at you at various stages, IIRC, so you can probaly get lots of them there as well.

"A Show of Force" go to the area with some H/H in HM.
Flag them away, open all the shrines, then go in with [skill]Shadow Form[/skill][skill]Sliver Armor[/skill][wiki]Air of Superiority[/wiki], sit back, and laugh.
When not enough of them are dying to keep recharging your skills just die, let your H/H die, respawn, get in wurms and kill them, and pick up loot.

Event items are not loot scaled so normal mode works better imo

Plus regular drops are better, chance for ele swords and stuff as well as upgrades.

And Jebus I do it with H/H so I can pick up some SS and LB points on the way.

Gate of Kryta smiting run, Bergen smiting run or grawls in ascalon are probably gonna be quite busy this weekend. As these areas/monsters also drop collectibles that will probably be used over wintersday.

I reccomend the raptor nestling farm. Drops a fair few ciders and pies, and it's a quick run.

They drop a LOT in underworld. I did a couple terra tank runs in there earlier and there was at least 1 item dropping from each group I killed. I'm sure a full group of 8 would be able to get a ton from there.
