Excellent advice - thank you Zeraphiel Dauntless. Spot on!

Confirmed. Usually, I choose the first location on the list. Had to return later, but this time, choose the location (and rotation) recommended above.

You were spot on! Farmed what I needed in less than half the time. Appreciate you taking the time to share this with the rest of us. You saved me (at least) 1 hour. :)

After farming these skins at their various spawns, I have reached the conclusion that Meracydian Amphipteres in Azys Lla are the best place to farm. They drop the same amount of skins as standard Amphipteres, but are much closer together. They also have the benefit of being spread across mostly even ground, unlike in The Churning Mists. My farming strategy follows:

There are three groups of Amphipteres to contend with, located on three connected floating islands. The island at 18,29 contains a single Amphiptere, and this is where I start. After this kill, move south to the connected island at 18,30.5 and kill the four targets there. Next move south-west to 16,33 and kill three on the main island. There is one remaining Amphiptere on the peninsula at 17,34 hiding behind a purple vine. Depending on your clear speed and respawn times you may wish to add the various elemental sprites to your farm, for the trickle of crystals.

Good luck, and happy hunting!
