Silent Surf has a large population of saltspray and rockhide dragons which drop Azure Crests. Enter from Unwaking Waters (Luxon) and proceed East. There are also some groups to the North with some Jade Torn Kirin.

- just outside of Seafarer's Rest (Rhea's Crater) exit is a group of 4-6 Rockhide Dragons, which can be farmed quickly with a 55 monk/necro with the Norn spell "I am Unstoppable" to prevent knock down and Mending for extra healing. Spiteful Spirit with Plague sending works well in both Normal and Hard modes. Spoil victor also works but is a tad slower. Elem use of Sliver armor works quite effectively as well.
