Surprised no one had copied this over yet. This was always my go to post when I needed a collectable:

IV. Most Efficient Quests By Type & Tier Chart
V. Farming Quest Walkthroughs
<Note: Ctrl+F for your collectable name to identify its type & tier, then search its type & tier (e.g. T5 Natural) to find which quests to farm.>
I. BACKGROUND
I put in ~30 hours of work making this guide to efficient collectables farming for the DDO community following U32. Every single quest here I have personally run to confirm. Thank you to everyone who helped out!
Remember to double-check your crafting plans before farming: http://ccplaner.esy.es/
You can convert Tokens of the Twelve into Purified Eberron Dragonshard Fragments, often the most expensive part of U32's Cannith Crafting update.
Cultural still works differently than the rest so until the devs confirm the mechanic, take the Cultural section with a grain of salt, though "Any" should still drop the appropriate Culturals.
II. MY SYSTEM
1. I try to note the node type & number, location, and method for farming, including things like mobs, traps, shrines where possible.
2. I list the *lowest difficulty setting required for the relevant tier*, since it doesn't affect drop rates, and most of these quests you don't finish anyway. Often this means heroic or epic casual. Remember, casual means -1 to base difficulty, but no fewer collectables! That's right, casual will be relevant again, mwahaha!
3. The best Collectables Farming Toon would have Fast Running speed and/or Sprint Boost, AOE burst dps, Dimension Door, Invis, Displacement, Teleport & maybe Greater Teleport. First thing that comes to mind: 18 WLK + 2 BRB/RGR. Destiny: Exalted for wings or Shadowdancer for ddoor.
4. Tiers go by adjusted quest difficulty level, i.e. the level it shows once inside the quest:
Tiers: T1: 1-5, T2: 6-10, T3: 11-15, T4: 16-20, T5: 21-25, T6: 26+. Please make sure you understand this, and run the quests at the appropriate level, as outlined in Parts IV & V.
Collectable Types:
Arcane: Alchemy Table, Scroll Rack, some Bookshelf, some Cabinet, some Crude Altar
Cultural: Mob Treasure Bag
Lore: some Bookshelf, some Cabinet
Natural: Bones, Fungus, Moss, Mushroom, some Crude Altar
Any: Adventurer's Pack, Rubble
Note: "Any" still goes by tier, and will drop any appropriate Arcane, Cultural, Lore, Natural.
5. I started by looking at quests with both Heroic and Epic versions, that crossed multiple Tier thresholds depending on difficulty level. Notation includes base level of the quest for reference. "EC"=Epic Casual, "HC"=Heroic Casual. Farms should be fast early nodes, or else high volume.

IV. MOST EFFICIENT QUESTS BY TYPE & TIER CHART
A.K.A. the main point of my guide! Usually, but not always, I list the best ones earlier on per tier.
Arcane
—T1 Arcane: Bringing the Light HC, Caged Trolls HC, Tomb of the Sanguine Heart HC
—T2 Arcane: Caged Trolls HN, Tomb of the Forbidden HC, Tomb of the Sanguine Heart HH, Tomb of the Unhallowed HC, An Offering of Blood HC
—T3 Arcane: Desecrated Temple of Vol HC, Tomb of the Forbidden HN, Tomb of the Unhallowed HN, Multitude of Menace HC, An Offering of Blood HN, A Cabal For One HC, Wheloon Prison Heroic, Mask of Deception HC, Through a Mirror Darkly HC
—T4 Arcane: Desecrated Temple of Vol HE, Multitude of Menace HE, An Offering of Blood EC, A Cabal For One HE, Mask of Deception HN, Terminal Delirium HC, Through a Mirror Darkly HN, Schemes of the Enemy HC
—T5 Arcane: The House of Rusted Blades EC, An Offering of Blood EN, A Cabal For One EC, Through a Mirror Darkly EC, Wheloon Prison Epic, Terminal Delirium EC, Schemes of the Enemy HE
—T6 Arcane: Desecrated Temple of Vol EC, Multitude of Menace EC, A Cabal For One EE, Mask of Deception EC, Terminal Delirium EN, Through a Mirror Darkly EN
Cultural
"Cultural don't drop from specific dispensers, but instead drop as treasure bags from mobs. Mobs drop treasure bags based on mob type, regardless of CR or quest level. For example, kobolds always drop Strings of Prayer Beads no matter where you encounter them: Butcher's Path Casual, Mired in Kobolds hard, or even in Slave Lords on Legendary Elite. All prayer beads, all the time.
Unfortunately, all mobs are categorized as tier 1-3, so no mobs anywhere drop tier 4, 5 or 6 cultural in treasure bags. (Some high level mobs that should, like yuan-ti, don't appear to drop treasure bags at all.) So instead of treasure bags, farm tier 4-6 cultural with 'Any' dispensers: Adventurer's Packs and Rubble. Fortunately the devs seem to have planned for this, as packs & rubble appear to drop cultural around 40% of the time." ~ EllisDee37
Consider exploring for T1 Cultural, T2 Cultural, T3 Cultural, quests such as Kobold Assault, Gladewatch Outpost Defense, Gateway to Khyber (the Von3 pre-quest, credit to Splunge & EllisDee37), Sorrowdusk Isle slayers, Madstone Crater, Mired in Kobolds.
