Epic Last Stand, any difficulty. Go in, run around the circle grabbing all the collectables. When you get back to the entrance leave. Reset and repeat. The quest doesn't begin until you talk to the drow so there are no monsters to fight.

Thanks! I'll give it a try - now I just gotta figure who's luckiest..

somehow, I have zero of these buggers

eta: ah, the finale of that chain. k. wish I would'a know that before I finished several runs

With a high enough Jump, I like Breaking Ranks.
Else, Last Stand.
Ton of collectible farming, absolutely no kills necessary. Enter, loot, reset.

I got a jumper! Thanks! But how high? is 56 enough?

I'll run 'em all! LOL! My epic needs her stats!

eta: do you think it drops in Breaking the Ranks heroic?

The Jump skill caps at 40 anything over that is useless unless you wear heavy armour, sneak or similar things that lower your Jump skill.

Probably not? Maybe? Is it an Epic only ingredient? That would definitely explain why I don't have any.

Breaking the ranks is my go to for BBs. ?

No fights and only downside is getting there for the first run and a bit of timing in your jumps.

Nothing on this page is inaccurate, but it's true that some newer, possibly better, farm locations won't be included.

Unfortunately, no. Blister Beetles drop in quest level 21-25 so you have to be in epic.

ETA, upon further thought, Heroic Elite should work. Since the base level of the quest is 19 it's 21 on Elite, and that just makes it in the window.

In reality it has to be in heroic elite. Breaking the ranks epic normal is level 27.

Heroic Elite/Reaper only.
You're looking for items that drop in level 21-25 quests.
Breaking in Heroic is 19. +2 from Elite is 21.

That's a LOT of jump. Maybe too much, since it proves you could spend the points elsewhere.
Then again, maybe it lets you jump higher in lower content, where all your Jump gear isn't available yet, so your mileage may vary.

Jump over the fence, grab the bones inside the gnoll camp, jump on a tent, run out.
If you can't be bothered with running back, just Recall out.
Turn around, reset the quest, reenter.
No gong involved. If you hit that gong, it spawns filthy gnolls in that camp that prevent you from stealing those precious, precious bone piles. Plus there's spell traps that appear after you ring the Big Bad's doorbell.
