There was a fun Ranger-specific build for this farm back in theday, which was super fun as my main was a Ranger. Just running to what is essentially the edge of the map that has nothing to do with anything without any quests was so fun and had such an exploratory feeling to it! Getting the Totem drop for 3-5k was a bonus really. Best game ever
You can farm the windriders for the Forgotten Fan aswell. Take Armor of Unfeeling instead of gaze from beyond to deal with the two bosses. If you have drunken master 33% speedboost while drunk(dwarven skill) you don't need sin skills and you work on your drunken title at the same time. For heal and condition remover you can take mend body and soul. The Totem Axe still goes for 5 k.😋
I know you know this, or I hope you do, but if you are able to run more then one account than flag the henchmen off the map like you said and keep the other accounts out of reach but on the map and it will increase your chance of a drop.
