HR - greatest jagras & lavasioth event (both 9*)

Lavasioth is good because you get a ton of decorations, so it's quantity over quality. This is basically the best you can hope for, as the feystones that drop are the best for <lvl4 decorations.

And yes, I'm aware this is a winner thread >_>

But then why even answer seriously lol

Tempered Zinogre EVENT is definitely the best to get a stock of IB jewels and you get some vanilla ones as well (got my 3rd attack jewel there). I think it even has a guaranteed rank 11 feystone (not the same as r11 jewel, beware) which you normally only get in good quantities from tempered MR elder dragons.

That said, joining Silverlos/Goldian tempered investigations yields overall higher rank feystones (and can be faster with decent ranged weapon users), the Zinogre event ones are mostly rank 10 while those investigations drop a lot of Rank 11 feystones. This is the only realistic way of farming rank 12 jewels (the chance to get one is 1.2% per purple reward box on investigation with threat level 3).

Greatest Jagras is still the BY FAR fastest way to get vanilla jewels, if you don't kill it you are finished in ~3 minutes max. (wait for it to choke up 30 jewels which is the max, then leave)
If you kill it there's chance for higher rank vanilla jewels but to make this worthwhile you should not take longer than 5-6 minutes on quest incl. killing it.

Lavasioth I think has overall higher rank jewel drops but also takes longer than GJagras.

This is mostly correct but if you're going to farm vanilla jewels I'd just recommend doing Steamworks during an event. Steel Melding Tickets give you junk jewels and Silver Melding Tickets give you desirable ones, I have all the Attack Boost jewels I'll ever need thanks to it. It's much, much faster than Greatest Jagras or Name's Lavasioth and more reliable.

Gasp. Dude, I honestly never really noticed that 'Guild Alchemy' option before. I got like 140 silver melding tickets, converted 40 and woop, got another attack jewel, 2 guard jewels and stuff. Thanks for that super-useful advice :)

MR: the frozen flowers event gathering quest, done in 30 seconds and with 2-4 IB jewel drops.

Thing is, they use the iceborne loot tables. So you won't get some of the rare/sought after vanilla jewels ( mighty bow, guard up etc.)

Depends on luck and skill tbh

edit:
I'm voting to remove and ban KO jewels from the game
