Guide to Item of the Week Farming

Background
Every week, Nicholas the Traveler requests a different item in exchange for Gifts of the Traveler. These items of the week end up being very valuable for a short period, since the gifts can usually be sold for – (and opening the gifts yields valuable items). Veteran players usually have no trouble farming the item using advanced (although standard) builds and they have access to the ideal farming locations. This guide, however, is designed to help the relatively new player, who has fewer skills and might need to unlock the farming area.

Solo farming builds
These are the most common solo farming builds referenced in the guides below. The links go to the build articles on PvX Wiki.


 * 55 monk
 * Terra tank
 * Spirit spammer
 * 130 dervish

Summary

 * Item: Amphibian Tongues
 * Dropped by: All Frogmen in the EotN campaign
 * Found in: Depths of Tyria and Tarnished Coast.

Farming locations

 * Suggested Farm #1: Northwestern part of Sparkfly Swamp, just head along the western wall from Gadd's Encampment ignoring the Dinosaurs and Spiders.

Threats & recommended skills

 * Threats: Agari Tlamatini have a large amount of hex degeneration spells, while Migraine makes you activate skills slower, leaving you open to an interrupt. Agari Nahualli can heal as well as cause AoE damage. If relying on spirits for damage, Agari Amini will take longer to kill because of their stance.


 * Tactics: For faster farming, kill smaller groups.

Solo farming

 * Suggested Solo #1: SoS works perfectly fine here. It is recommended however, that you only slay groups of 4 or less creatures. While it is possible to clear larger groups, it takes a longer period of time that could be better spent farming.
