Description: This video shows the fastest route (and how to get to the right instance) for farming Eldreth Darters for small flame sacs in Dire Maul (which are used to make Dragonbreath Chili, Fire Protection Potions, and Flame Deflectors). After each run, reset the instance (to repopulate it with Eldreth Darters) by clicking on your player's icon (top left of screen) and select reset instance. You can do this 5 times in one hour, after that it will say you have entered too many instances recently. If you want, sign off for 20 minutes and then sign back on and it should have reset the timer or if you want you can just continue to play the game for an hour and after the hour you will be able to go into the instance again (just don't try to reset it again before going in because each reset counts against your total available even if you don't go in). I have tried farming for these items from some of the other npcs that are supposed to drop it and this instance at Dire Maul is the only place I found that they can be farmed quickly and easily. After 5 runs I usually end up with between 3 to 7. Some runs none will drop and other runs up to 3. So very easy, just watch the video. There are 2 spawn points on the main floor (where they sometimes spawn and sometimes don't) and about 5 spawn points on the top floor. Index of video: 00:02 pause the video at 4 seconds to see map that shows where dire maul is 00:05 to 00:40 - go from outside dire maul to the entrance of the instance start first run 1:02 - enter Dire Maul Capital Gardens instance 1:49 - spawn point 1, on main floor, for Eldreth Darter (none there this time) 1:54 - spawn point 2, on main floor, for Eldreth Darter (none there this time) 2:22 - ramp to top floor * 2:41 - spawn point 3, on top floor, for Eldreth Darter (was there and dropped 1 small flame sac) 3:07 - spawn point 4, on top floor, for Eldreth Darter (was there but only dropped coins) 3:33 - spawn point 5, on top floor, for Eldreth Darter (was there but only dropped coins) 3:44 - spawn point 6, on top floor, for Eldreth Darter (was there but only dropped coins) 3:58 - spawn point 7, on top floor, for Eldreth Darter (was there but only dropped coins) 5:24 - end first run end first run IMPORTANT: 5:35 - shows how to reset instance for 2nd run (if you do not reset the instance it will not be repopulated with Eldreth Darters). start second run 5:35 - shows how to reset instance for 2nd run 6:42 - spawn point 1, on main floor, for Eldreth Darter (was there but only dropped coins) 7:00 - spawn point 2, on main floor, for Eldreth Darter (was there but only dropped coins) 7:36 - ramp to top floor 7:48 - spawn point 3, on top floor, for Eldreth Darter (looked over but none there this time) 7:52 - spawn point 4, on top floor, for Eldreth Darter (was there but only dropped coins) 8:13 - spawn point 5, on top floor, for Eldreth Darter (was there but only dropped coins) 8:27 - spawn point 6, on top floor, for Eldreth Darter (was there but only dropped coins) 8:58 - spawn point 7, on top floor, for Eldreth Darter (was there but only dropped coins) 10:15 - end of second run end second run 10:28 - shows how to reset instance for 3nd run 10:41 - see message "you have entered too many instances recently" because I had actually run the instance a total of 5 times in one hour (obviously this video only shows 2, I ran the other 3 before the video) each one taking about 4 minutes and 24 seconds to 5 minutes and 20 seconds per run. So if you average 5 minutes per run it will take 25 minutes to run it 5 times and you will probably end up with 3 to 7 small flame sacs. That is what I averaged because some runs I ended up with none while others I ended up with as many as 3 (per run). As a reminder (as I stated earlier) you can only run 5 instances in an hour. If you exceed that amount you will be locked out of all instances for 1 hour if you continue to play or about 20 minutes if you log off and then log back in after 20 minutes.
