Hero Tip Collecting. Where do you?

Before Issue 22, DA was a useful spot for generating tips; lowest level range and most Banished spawns had at least one boss in it. Easy pickings and very quick to generate 3 tips. But, now with Issue 22 live, not so easy any longer.

So, question to the masses, where do you go now for your tip generating hero side? Crey's seems like an ok place, but it is well off the beaten path. Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Personally, I've almost exclusively used Talos to get my tips. The mobs can vary in size in Talos since it's not a hazard zone, but there are usually good sized mobs around.

The few times I tried the old DA, I never got the results that others seemed to get. After about 10 minutes I'd give up and head back to Talos still needing 3 tips. Random number generator is random so I never told anyone to avoid DA in the past, it was just never "lucky" for me.

I've even had some decent luck in IP when I get one of those tips that sends you there and I'm unlucky enough to get another tip in the mission.

Now that I think of it, Croatoa may not be a bad place to try for tips. Usually large groups around the tram and even quite a few bosses. Doesn't hurt that if you don't already have the defeat badges for the Croatoa critters that you'll be working towards badge credit as well.

I've always used Talos. The Tsoo spawn bosses not infrequently, and once the spawns are grey to you, it takes no time at all.

Plus, I usually just grab 3 tips, then run the missions; the other two will drop during the runs (usually). Particularly if you run on a team.

I'll add yet another vote for Talos. I spend a lot of time there anyway, as it's a nice, compact zone with an Auctiohouse close to the tram and is easily accessible through tram or Ouro.

I just do missions, they usually drop in the course of doing them, then I do Tip missions.

Talos for me, specifically the section around the Natural and Science Stores.
I run the tips in Kings though. Tip missions in Talos have a habit of sending me to the islands for any Cave maps.

In Paragon City since June 2005.

I tend to use Terra Volta myself.

Personally, it's either Talos, or if I'm feeling particularly impatient, Crey's Folly.

I use base port to Striga and then Ouro portal out when done. There are a lot of bosses in that area and I concentrate specifically on them. I'm usually in and out in 2-3 minutes.

Talos.

I use a combination of this method:

As soon as I've done two of them that way and have 3 more racked up I'll just speed through the remaining 3 Tip missions as fast as possible. Doing it this way I practically never have to streetsweep for more than the first Tip of the day.

And this one:

I'll usually start an arc/radio mission in whatever zone is convenient, and treat it like a "defeat all" until a tip drops. Then finish it and move on to the tip, treating that as a "defeat all" until I get another, and repeat.

For mid-level characters, I also tend to use Talos.

For higher level toons, I use RWZ for a couple reasons.

In any case, I always queue my tips in Atlas Park (see point #2).

1. RWZ is accessible from Atlas Park, mobs are right across the street, and typically,
in larger groups (increases odds of getting a tip quickly).

2. If you queue your tips while in AP, most missions will also stay there (a couple
send you to IP). Any other other zones I've tended to queue them in also tend
to send me to more places (inconvenient), so AP is where I prefer to run them.

3. In AP and RWZ, you have the full gamut of "services" available to you: Vendors,
Market, Crafting Tables. You can also use an AE mission for Crafting, and everything
is close together.

I've been getting mine in Terra Volta now. The big spawns of sky raiders near the door tend to get me three pretty fast. Once I have three, I just run the tip missions, killing my way through, and by the time I've finished all three, I usually have the two more I need to cap out that day's tip missions.
