Manticore Hide/Fang/Hair
Location: Western Altepa Desert
Target: Manticore
Suggested Level: 67+
This spot is one of my favorites. These manticores crap Hairs that sell for 4k REALLY fast, they usually sell as soon as i put them up. Hides sell for 2k a pop but not as quickly, and fangs, just NPC sell those for 600gil. Theres a circuit of Manticores you run, from the beginning of Kuftal Tunnel there are 2 in that area, follow your right hand wall there are 2 until you reach the end of the map. Follow the map down there will be one wandering in the open. You will hit a wall that where 2 more are hiding. Make a swing near Revelation rock for 2 manticore spawns there, then run back to Kuftal where the original 2 will have already respawned.

On the fangs, check your server's AH first before vendoring them. On my server they sell for 3k a piece and I haven't had to relist any of them.
I've tried this yesterday without thf sub and got only one hide while killing 10 manticores.
My NPC lvled to 61 and I decided to leave this spot cause it wasn't a good day for farming ><
I would NOT reccomend this for a level 67. You get aggro from the surrounding mobs and the manticores are too hard to kill to farm here efficiently. You need to be a higher level to farm here.
I prefer to farm these in Eastern Altepa Desert. Lower leveled enemies means less downtime and less unnecessary aggro. Even with /thf, the hair drops fairly often...two hours out in the desert and you should easily walk away with enough hair for 4-5 cycles on the the Auction House.
I actually went to go solo here as 56nin/dnc they are a little tough ranging from DC-T but its good exp and i find that the hair is like atleast an 80% drop i left with like 10 hairs and 4k exp^^

i farm the hairs for skilling up clothcraft -29, Eastern Altepa Desert is pretty fast as 75 thf/nin, turn the hairs (+ 1 grass thread & 1 bronze ingot) into nin tools (kaginawa needs lvl 15 smithing sub) without losing gil on buying mats.
These were not very hard as a BLU63/THF31, i came out here to learn Heat-Breath and then stayed because on the 2 i killed to learn my spell i got hairs on. I killed them with ease and nearly did a circiut before i decided to rest.
