This weeks Traveler farm is of the Modniir in the Eye of the North. For the most part u can SoS solo the Modniir groups, just watch your aggro.
LocationsDrakkar LakeThis area is a definite yes. Whether u enter it from Varajar Fells, Sifhalla or Norrhart Domains doesnt really matter as there are Modniir scattered about this entire area.
Ice Cliff Chasms (
only during Service: In Defense of the Eye, given by Artificer Mellenix in the EotN outpost, and u must 1st complete the Charr Invaders and Service: Practice Dummy quests to gain access to Service: In Defense of the Eye)
Both of the quests that precede the quest u need to have to farm the Modniir are quite short, and the practice Dummy one will get u Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support as well.
This area, or quest as it were isnt really good for farming the Modniir Manes, if u needed Shiverpeak Manes however this would be an ideal place to get them.
Norrhart DomainsThis area is also a no. You have alot of Frozen Elementals, Avalanches and Jotun (and worse, fucking Mandragors, ehw) running around when u leave from Gunnar'a Hold. You will surely see all those dickheads, but i myself didn't see a single Modniir lol.
Varajar FellsIf u leave from Olafstead and head north staying in the center of this area u will encounter Modniir, this area isnt a good place to farm just by itself (u will also be facing Ice Imps, Minotaurs and an assorted host of assholes u dont want to be bothered with), however if u are toggling back between it and Drakkar Lake via the gate it's not a bad idea
Slavers' ExileSave yourself some nightmares. No. Don't go fucking around in Slavers unless u have a Voltaic reason, or u like watching shit get rez'd by Dwarves
