Fastest way to acquire Cracked red eye orbs

dark-souls-2

What is the best/fastest way to acquire cracked red eye orbs? I'm level 150 and short of dueling other Brotherhood of Blood members I cannot find a way to acquire these. Dueling doesn't appear to be a very good method because it often takes over five minutes to land a duel.

Best Answer

There are several monsters that drop the orbs:

Fire Salamanders in the cave under the Cardinal Tower bonfire.
Polearm wielding hunters in Huntsman's Copse.
The three Piglets to the right of the Majula Mansion.

The one that has given me the best drop rate is the Fire Salamander.

Here's a video of someone farming the little Piglets in Majula.

Also, Titchy Gren (The Brotherhood of Blood guy) sells them for 10,000 souls each in NG+ (As confirmed by @miR, burning an ascetic will not allow you to buy them).

Hope this helps a bit.
