it needs ten grim favors to get one summon items for Varshan. It means if I need 100 mucus-slick eggs ( summon Duriel 50 times), I will need 4000 grim favors. Is there any other way to effectively farm these summon items for Varshan? I know there is some chance to get after the world boss, but it is still very slow.
Depending on you class you can hammer out the boss fight in 10 seconds. Realistically you could do each run in under a min so i would say its pretty farmable.
Takes longer to get the mats but ive never run into issues aquiring them at a reasonable rate.
It takes me about 3-5 min to complete a whisper dungeon doing objectives only. It also takes me about the same amount of time in the open world depending on what kind of event there is. Probably get 2-3 body parts.
What I can say is don’t convert the malignant hearts into other body parts. You can convert 1 or 2 every now and then if you have a lot but don’t go low inventory on those hearts.
10 whispers gets you 2 body parts. And you occasionally get extra ones from random world spawns all over the place. They’re not hard to get at all and I seem to always have an abundance of them without even trying.
World boss is 3-4. Lot of events in the seasonal area spawns a boss that drops 1 or 2. Dungeon bosses do also. If you actually had any reason to go out and do anything you will outpace getting eggs to getting shards by far.
And if you getting eggs on purpose it is actually annoying how fast you get Grim Favors because you have to port to tree every 30 seconds. Should allow you to stack up like 100 grim favors.
The last point is a change I’d really like. I think we should be able to stack at least 19/10 grim favors so we can go turn them in when it makes sense and or inventory is full. Reaching ten happens quite fast and usually at a bad time like in the middle of trying to do a helltide, a bloodharvest, a pvp zone (can’t teleport out without losing shards), or even a regular whispers zone. It interrupts gameplay, is annoying and has always been an issue.

Cinders, motes, objective in dungeons. Garbage loot, vendor, everything about d4 interrupts your gameplay grim favors just one of many.
I don’t consider any of those to be a similar problem. Grim favors would be a really easy fix - just change the overflow cap number, don’t even need to change how it works or to cashin two at once.
You spend more time running in circles picking up cinders that you will ever do running to the tree. You spend WAY more time at the vendor depending on how long you have played you eventually never pick up an item so vendor becomes a minor annoyance.
If Cinders dropped directly into your inventory you would double the speed of getting them at least depending on how fast you killing. I Usually end a full helltide with about 2000 motes still laying on teh ground I am sure. How much lag is that on the server? They say they cant increase stash space because of server lag. How much lag is the 1451261616 pvp currency laying around on the ground?
Okay and? So you’re saying don’t change whispers?
Yes I can get the boss down in 10 seconds. but it came out every 3.5 hours. Thank you,

Oh… sorry i was thinking of boss by tree of wispers. Hadnt had my coffee yet. 
You shouldn’t have to go back to that stupid tree when you fill up the grim favors bar. Just have a “claim reward” button next to the progress bar. That way you can claim the whisper cache wherever you are, and you don’t have to interrupt your gameplay.
As has kind of been mentioned, you can get lots of extra chances to get Varshan mats. Even whisper events in non Blood Harvest zones had the chance of “Debtors” showing up afterwards which will drop Varshan mats.
-This can also occur in dungeons with blood seeker bosses, etc, after Legion events, World Bosses, etc.
-I concur though, it’s a lil lopsided after they buffed Living Steel.
