If you are asking for an exploit.  Exploits don't exist in Ddo anymore.  So you will need to run the quests repetitively with friends and pass them back and forth to whomever needs them.

What could you be looking from sands? the non-raid stuff is terrible and the  things  that droop in the raid are only 20 completions away. If you want to get a RoSS, just  use a bauble... way easier to get.

eRoSS was the loch ness monster for years.  Now days people have them, but acquiring them is not easy.  Certainly not something you will do on your own.

Shards for explorer items should be primarily from ADQ1 end chest. It should be faster to farm that than to go on a 3 day timer.

The 20th lists for the raid only drop shards from named items that drop in the raid.

For RoSS and Wolf Whistle you will need to actually pull them from a chest. Red-dooring ADQ1 to ransack on EE with rerolls is the most efficient farm.

Lol.  Most efficient way to get rid of all your shards, maybe.  Smiley

Seriously, he is right.  This is the best (non-exploit) way to get the eRoSS shard.  The only problem is that the drop rate is so abysmally low that you will probably burn through a thousand or more shards before you get one.  Unless you are very, very lucky.

It's about 1 in 1650 IIRC. 1 pull + 3 rerolls per completion times 10 completions per week is 40 chances per week. Should take about 41.25 weeks and 12375 shards.

You can also complete the raid ~2.5 times per week to speed it along but it's only like 1 in 6666 in that chest.

Anything really worth grinding out 20 completions for these days? (thinking ETR gear)
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Heroic Torc has been a mainstay in my ER kits for casters and melees. Do #20 on heroic instead of epic and you won't get a shard list.

Yeah no shit Tongue

On the Torc, does it make that big a difference? I did a caster life for the first time recently and carried a GS conc weapon and wore a GS conc item, didn't really seem to have that much impact, does adding on a torc really help? (if you wanted you could splash 2 levels of artificer and throw in an upgraded runewarm... dunno if 4 torc items would give you much, though!)

Also, I heard from somebody in-game that you don't have to re-flag the raid every life, that you just need to save the item. Is this true?

Torc has a much higher proc rate than con opp. Torc is 15% for 11-33 (3.3 avg), Con Opp is 4% for 20-30 (1 avg).

Confirmed. You can save the extras. They are consumed though, so you don't come out ahead on the number times running Chains.

I feel like the actual RoSS shard/seal drop rates were listed in one of Rodrak's posts a while back.

I think you're right.
The probability of getting the complete item was about on par with winning a major lottery...    Grin

Mine dropped in a large green bag through a trade window.
Then I restored the essence back to item.
Those exclusive clicky items are the shit!

From my testing the accessory and the weapon for ConOpp don't seem to be stacking anymore and that has been the case since they fiddled with stacking arguments and such awhile back. I had a similar set up and when I retired the weapon I found that the proc rate hits were unchanged.

YMMV though and I could be wrong but I think they basically broke that setup.

It works like Litany flagging (except you have a 100% chance to obtain the flagging collectables).
