In kaede,somehow,with parties,they're able to make weapons a lot,you can see a couple in FM stores,you're a Viper,and you're in Keyaki,there aren't many parties there,and as a viper,you can't kill without using a DAM HIGH AMOUNT OF MERU into potions at the best map for farming them,marvericks.
They're freezable,and,since mages are unaffected by darkness,and as they rarely cast seal,they can just start spamming it until they get what they want.
When i did the quest at my IL,i got a couple of them with a party,everything with a party that can kill them fast,nothing else is a problem.
But,getting 4000 of them is pretty easier than getting 45 stones,i can surely say that.
