Just curious about where everyone's favorite places to farm these items are.
I have had decent luck running Brackenridge right through to the end boss.

i think nothing change except lock crates drop was lowered.
I was farming in brank and windmore harbor i got 2-3 crates per run LOL.
thats one of the reason crates price drop down to 5k last night.

its the right thing to do... i mean whats the point in farming if everything is so cheap right?
that drop rate was too high and its pointless to sell it.. lol if the drop rate was not change i think locks will get lower than 1k.
it will just destroy the market.

I farmed Brack mainly because its quick to run through the whole campaign.
Think I'll hit up LMM now. They were grateful to me before the patch.

After the patch? Maybe before, but after? This is pretty rare and not average.

I have run the first Shuyal map 2 times, 0 essences, so I gave up on Shuyal.
With a strong party, I'd give Camp Boulder a try. If you can sweep through wolves north to east and back, you get say 1-2 essences each run.
If you manage to spawn Ulfang in the first location, you don't have to care about him. Needs some cooperation from PUGs though...
Also you don't have to clear inventory every few minutes because you never exit the map.
BTW anyone noticed that Lepre actually hurts the drop rate? I don't really farm enough to be sure, just waiting my tokens to build up.

From what I see, it seems like a pretty equal drop rate across the board. Therefore, the best place would be where it is densely packed with mobs that you can kill very quickly.
Except for elite maps...I found like none of them while running oltgar & rooks. And that was during the high drop rate day.
