Grinding Spots for Scorching Sun Shard

The following grinding spots give Scorched Sun Shard. Mechanics courtesy of patch notes.

Calpheon Elvia Spot	Grinding Spot Mechanics
Saunil Camp 270 AP 330 DP	Defeat Hadum-infested Saunils and the Saunils will charge with siege towers to take down the flags of Calpheon. Defeat the Saunil Siege Towers and enraged Saunil soldiers will rush in to attack Adventurers and Calpheon’s soldiers. Defeat all of the enraged Saunils to obtain a buff near the flag that greatly increases your damage.
Rhutum Outstation 280 AP 360 DP	Defeat all the Glorious Rhutum guarding the Rhutum flag and Rhutum warriors will rush in. Defeat all the Rhutum warriors and the Rhutum will retreat after burning the supply boxes. Destroy these boxes before they burn down to obtain their loot. Destroy the three Rhutum watchtowers installed near Rhutum flags to summon the Rhutum Wizard, untouched by Hadum’s corruption, who will cast a barrier buff to reduce damage taken from monsters for Adventurers. Defeat Rhutum for a low chance to summon the Grand Rhutum Chief.
Gehaku Plain 290 AP 370 DP	Defeat Giants and “World-weary Souls” will appear. The more souls gather, the more powerful Giants will rush in. Once enough souls have gathered, Ravening Giants will rush in to steal the souls, which ultimately ends with the Giant Fighter appearing. Defeat the Giant Fighter to free the souls who grant an attack/cast speed buff and also has a low chance to summon Gehaku.
Hexe Sanctuary 300 AP 390 DP	Defeat the Hexe undead and “Soul of the Dead” will appear where they fall. Soul Harvester Skeleton Witmirth will collect these souls. You cannot attack Skeleton Witmirth if it hasn’t harvested enough souls. Once Soul Harvester Skeleton Witmirth has harvested enough “Souls of the Dead,” it will crave the soul of Adventurers and attack. Souls harvested by the Soul Harvester Skeleton Witmirth will summon forth even more undead. Defeat Unstable Soul Green Orc Skeleton Warriors and their souls will explode to deal much damage to undead nearby. Once enough deathly energy has gathered, Hexe Marie will appear herself to mercilessly attack Adventurers. “Hexe Marie” will demand “Skeleton Soldiers” nearby to sacrifice themselves for her. – The souls of these “Skeleton Soldiers” will explode dealing powerful damage to Adventurers and undead alike.
Quint Hill 310 AP 400 DP	Once an Ancient Troll’s HP goes below a certain point, it will unleash its HP to charge its Stamina. Petrified Trolls nearby hit by this burst will awaken. Awakened Ancient Trolls will also gain a powerful DP buff for a short time immediately after their resurrection. Sealed Troll Shamans remain dormant but if destroyed, will petrify all Trolls nearby, applying a DP Reduction debuff as well. Once risen, Ancient Trolls will not return to a petrified state, but a paralyzed one.
