I've already got it, but I can help out if you need it.
If the team splits up on Talos island, they can farm the Tsoo, Thorns and Mask at the same time, to speed things up - although the Masks only come out at night.
The Decoy badge is by far the hardest to get, so splitting up on Peregrine Island to farm separte MIs would reduce the farming time a lot.

I need Master Illusionist Decoys with my scrapper. I have a couple of Carnie missions that can be farmed. What day were you thinking about doing this??

Right, it's hard to get and all that... so i propose, we go after it 
it would take a good 3+ hours by my reckoning

Errm actually Illusionist badge alone would require more time me thinks
I'd count on Decoy badge taking 4-6 hours by itself. Also, I'm free for this all this week except thursday evening, with my 50 kin/psi. It'd help if the person with the mission was closer to 45, so that the rest of the team weren't actually in mortal danger.
DON'T eat muffins while I'm developing you.

best way with this folks is someone lvl 40 who just picked up the carnie contact (cant remember name atm lol) gets a indoor mission, have a lvl50 tank in with a agro field and taunt, and use the tank to get and hold the MI's agro, with a lvl 50 in means you can farm 6+ MIs for the pets, a /dev blaster is handy as well for caltrops which are auto hit.
pritty much that's the way me and friends did last time we went MI farming
Anyone decided on a date for this yet?
Sorry, its gona be a Sunday
(although if its gona be next sunday or the one after is still to be determinded)
I can only do late Sunday afternoon or evening cos I'm doing a night shift Sat night so need a few hours sleep.

I MAY be wrong here, but I remember reading a thread re: this badge and have read that you don't actually have to DEFEAT the decoy illusionist, but just HIT it, even if it's phase shifted. I remember getting it with my tank (thank GOD for a friendly, chatty team!) and it took up most of the afternoon and then part of the next morning; but we were actually trying to defeat the illusions. Pretty tough with a team of 5 (2 trollers, 2 scrappers and a tanker) with 3-4 MIs spawning 3 Illusionists simultaneously. So, before you do what we did, check your bar to see if it moves before actually taking the Illusionist out - may find that you get through the badge a hell of a lot quicker than we did!
But then again, I may have mis-read the post about the badge and have given everyone false hope - sorry if I have!!
The decoys disappear quickly anyway so when I've tried previously I've not managed to completely kill some. I've still spent many many hours getting as far as I am so I'm keen to finally get this badge now.
What time tomorrow so I can set my alarm clock?
Well I dragged myself out of bed after 3 hrs sleep to join a badge farming team on COV but I'm more interested in Archmage badge so send a tell to @Sazzy when you start this and I'll log my hero on.
>.> we are going to do it next week, sunday morning and until we finish... hopefully that wont take forever
What time Sunday. I'm on a night shift Sat again and get home about 8.45am.

That's fine I'll be there.
Ok tommorow, guys... anyone want to join us?
not a single pereson showed up.. well... nevermind
Well except me 
This badge is getting annoying now. Master Illusionist Decoys and Raving trolls are the only enemies I need to kill for badges now
Maybe another time, i will contact you if i try to do it again
Right, it's hard to get and all that... so i propose, we go after it
it would take a good 3+ hours by my reckoning
the badges needed are
Achievement:
Banisher - Defeat 200 Banished Pantheon Masks
Illusionist - Defeat 500 Carnie Illusionist Decoys
Soul Binder - Defeat 100 Circle of Thorns Mages
Tracer - Defeat 100 Tsoo Sorcerers
Exploration:
Mystic King - Kings Row
Faultless Mystic - Faultline
Dark Mystic - Dark Astoria
Mystic - Brickstown
and it does...
Benefit - Eye of the Magus (toggle power):
+Resistance to all but psionics
+Defense against all but psionics
-speed
-recharge
-accuracy
When you activate this power, you get a very high bonus to defense and damage resistance for 1 minute, but you give up some running speed, recharge speed, and accuracy. The power's recharge time is 25 minutes.
It's a nice badge, i would like someone with a map to get Carnie Illusionists, but if not we can hunt... soooo
Who's with me
(oh btw, level 48s, 49s and 50s please, but we should be able to SK a few people if around 42- 47)
