Best place to farm ores/herbs?

I'm looking for a place where I can use mules to farm the ores/herbs I desire with as little monster interference as possible.

So far the only good places I've found are Pianus Cave (small, Pianus is never there, spawns medium-high level veins/herbs) and the Gatekeeper/Thanatos maps, but the former is a bit time consuming (CCing takes you to the Sharks map) and the latter is a bit risky.

Any other good spots?

I like the orbis tower. All the lvl 39 sentinels are great and spawn all the high level stuff, and there's like 5 floors of them.

I like running back and forth between the Sky and Cloud Terraces in Ludi. There is a room for every herb/ore vein you need. It makes getting Black/Purple veins a breeze, since there are 3 of those rooms.

I find Heartstones and Golden Flowers all the time, too.

I like this. There's also all the Master Robo maps nearby for Bronze for earring spam. Thanks!

The Dead Mine works for me pretty nicely. One of each vein per map and there's four Dead Mines so four of the veins I want per channel.

I find kerning square quite nice since even though you get bumped from time to time the mobs there are low level plus iirc you can find any level vein there just by changing floors.

I use dead mine and the hiddenstreet with rashes and dark rashes in leafre, on the map with the vic/leafre portal. Really good spawn, low level monsters (for me), and easy to cc in.

im a big fan of orbis tower -- gold/emerald and purple/black + a bunch of maps where you only have to jump down

need to get a zak hat on my herbist so he only takes 1 from the sents, silly mages
