Yep. Laugh at the guy that suggested doing it and pick any quest ever. Or even 15 minutes worth of slayers.

The best way to farm Kobold Island: Disruptor is to run regular Lava Caves: Colossal Crystals or Epic Lava Caves: Time is Money

There isn't a single Kobold Island challenge worth running, unless you have an experienced 6 man group (as if you could ever get 6 competent people together for challenges anymore). You get better returns trading in.

If running for materials, use the trade in function.

If running for stars, Command Undead and Control Undead are the best bet. Anyone with a little UMD can also use Halt Undead scrolls on the archers which can be a challenge just because they keep shooting the extractors even when you're beating on them  Everyone should also have the best repair/reconstruct type of scroll they can use to help rebuild the extractors. Basically when you start, split up and go to each small extractor, killing kobolds and destroying kobold altars as you find them. Leave a self sufficient person at each small, and activate them as you get the parts. You'll have two people to clear the rednames at each of the largest, patrol for more kobolds, curb stomp the giant when he spawns, etc. Keep an eye on the shards total, upgrade extractors ASAP. Unless you have a lot of turret requisitions, don't summon turrets to protect the smalls. Don't upgrade turrets. Make sure you don't upgrade extractors when there isn't enough time for them to pay back the upgrade cost - wiki has a list of those times. 

If doing it for fun, go into the forest with a can of gas, matches, a hammer, a rusty hacksaw, and three ring shank nails, find a large tree, and nail your genitals to the tree, one nail for your dick and one for each ball. Throw the hammer far away, pour gas on the tree, set it on fire and make the decision about whether to cut your junk off with the rusted hacksaw or let the flames burn off your junk. That roughly compares to enjoyment levels.

Incidentally, if you're good at killing undead, this is a good way to get chests on bonus loot weekends. Just ignore extractors and kill the red names at each large.
  

Instant asshole. Just add alcohol.

Short Cuts isn't terrible to solo or duo.  What you need is a caster with Charm and Dominate Monster.  You charm/Dominate a couple of the mobs and they defend some of the extractors for you.  With my caster, I can solo it and keep all the smalls running with little problem.  Don't mess with the bigs or the archon.  It's a pretty easy mat farm. 

Disruptor is more annoying.  Command/Halt Undead is a great solution.  I agree though, running Time is Money is much faster, even at the 5 to 1 turn in rate.

Collosal Crystals is more annoying, so I'd run short cuts instead.

That was extremely helpful thank you. I'm try to get some gear for my last 6 lives until I've finished completionist, and it's becoming infuriating how low some of the ing drop rates are.

Edit: fuck auto correct.
