	Hello everyone! Heart Farming can be very taxing on the average DDO player. This guide will help make your experience of heart seed farming a little bit easier. Running these quests can get you your 42 hearts in about an hour and a half to two hours. Unfortunately this guide isn't for the F2P players out there, VIP or pack ownage required. These quests tend to go faster if you run them in Epic Normal! So here goes! Enjoy. Gianthold Walkups = 10 hearts (25-30 minutes) Trial by Fire Maze of Madness Foundation of Discord Cry for Help Feast or Famine Lords of Dust = 2 hearts (6-8 minutes) Eveningstar 1 Chain = 8 hearts (15-20 minutes) Impossible Demands Unquiet Graves The Lost Thread Battle for Eveningstar Eveningstar 2 Chain = 8 hearts (15 minutes) House of Rusted Blades House of Broken Chains House of Death Undone The Portal Opens Eveningstar 3 = 4 hearts (10 minutes) Trial by Fury The Deal and the Demon Vault of Night Chain = 8 hearts (25-30 minutes) Tharashk Arena The Prisoner The Jungle of Khyber Haywire Foundry Phiarlain Carnival = 2 hearts (5 minutes) The Snitch Total Time = 1 hour 36 minutes - 2 hours Total Hearts = 42 Total Quests = 21 This guide is still in beta if you would. I'm sure there are faster quests to run and get hearts, and if there are please comment below! Thanks for your time and hope this guide helps!

	Nice guide, Except for the fact that most ppl playing since the Anniversary Card games has thousands upon thousands of heart seeds stored in every green bag that was available. Fyi, Commendations of Valor stack up to 99,999. YW.

	This is for the people who didn't dupe their way to get such an abundant amount of hearts/comms

	Now if there was a way to farm LR hearts I would invest some serious gaming on that. Anyone knows where the best chances are for those? (Apart from the store or Turbine giving them out because they fucked everyones build up again.)

	Bargain of Blood Black Loch Two-Toed Tobias Ghost of a Chance These are all fast and easy. I'd also add Cabal in Gianthold.

	I'd pay 100 seeds per + on a lesser heart

As I understood it (may be old data now) there is no best place, they are just a small chance on a subtable that can occur in many places.

Small chance = 6 years of gaming on 10 toons all with several lives got me one lesser heart. And I even got a pale lavender ion stone from a habor reward and have a legit ring of spell storing.

Been playing since the start and never had one drop for me, so they're not really farmable imho.

	The Jester is your man for these. With only 10k gold coins you could wind up with as many as 2 or three!

I tried that, after the seccond 10k stack of gold coins I still got no heart but the whole instance was laggin out like hell. Then a GM booted me and banned that account for 14 days. He took all my gold coins from the shared bank, but left all the other goodies.

I liked how they enabled the multi-turnin option, but banned those that tested it for them. I kept mine to small qtys like 100, which made it tedious but I didn't get banned.

	Your timing is a bit "optimistic", but I like the list. Good stuff. I like quests you can get to quicker. You will waste 4 minutes just getting to Thread or graves, each. That's why the VoN's are nice. And Lords of Dust, Spies or Snitch. Don't Drink the Water is pretty fast on EN and conveniently located. As fast as they are, I'd skip the two demonweb quests you listed for that reason. You get a bad map and you can waste half the time it takes to run Spies just getting to the door.

	If you still need Jibber's Blades or mythic helms you might as well put in daily runs on those. The drop% on EN is really low, but it's zero if you never get around to them.

On the plus side, I guess you now have more sunblades and dwarven throwers than your entire account can use.

I don't care about exact numbers, I just want the order of magnitude. I already own the pack so I'm not wasting any money on it, but I don't find the quests all that much fun so I won't waste my time if it's in the 1 in 10,000 range.

Better than reading weak drama threads recently. It lasts only till I delete the client anyway. Checked the wiki for some item names and the drop rates are: - two-toed (ee/eh/en): cursed blade: 3/2/1 coffin nail: 6/5/4 priest's torch: 6/5/4 - prove your crap: iron mitts: 6/5/4 plundered hat: 3/2/1 splinter: 6/5/4 - ghost: dev's reaping: 6/5/4 ruby of crushing wave: 3/2/1 admiral's tiller: 6/5/4 - old tomb: mutt's blade: 6/5/4 buckler: 6/5/4 sapphire of crushing wave: 3/2/1 - precious cargo: topaz of anthem: 3/2/1 goggles: 6/5/4 music box: 3/2/1 runearm: 6/5/4 As for explorer junk it's indeed 5% per chest for heroic (1 item) and 16% per chest in epic (4% per item).

Rodrak wrote on Mar 5^th, 2015 at 6:32am: The other quests in that adventure pack are all the same. As for Necro IV: Temple of Vol (EE): 4% per item (Boots, Locus of Vol, Fanged Gloves, Emerald Gaze, Emerald Twilight, Death's Rampart) 3% for Mythic Emerald Gaze EH is 3% per item and 2% for Mythic one, EN is 2% and 1%. Same in the rest of the quests. Vol is a quick and easy farm anyway. It is worthwhile to do it just for the xp and/or seeds.

	Do people really farm seeds at cap ? Usually get plenty comms for heart and a stack or two of damage or spellpower comm pots every life. Comms really grow on trees unless you are doing EN Von3 763 x to cap.

	Yes, I average about 20 seeds worth of commendations on the way to cap. I spend a couple hours getting seeds so I have enough to get a heart for etr or itr. Tokens for tr are not a problem though. Ever.

	This is pointless. The game is plenty of quests that are 3-6 mins, just do wathever you want and get your seeds.
