An easy way to get loot is playing through the modules each day. But Troll Tyrant gives the same number and rarity of items as Caverns of the Trog. So most people who farm the modules start from the bottom. I personally make it through the level 6 modules before it starts to drag. I use variants on the party below: buff priest, fire mage, and a tank to outlive the fire. Any suggestions on improvements? Any alternate builds people prefer like 2x fire mage + 3 iljins that will shave a little off my time or keep it fast past level 6?

Also discussion of coop loot fairy builds is cool, because that's another important part of farming that can take as long as all the low-level farming combined based on who you're stuck with. I use one of these 2 based on whether we have a fire wiz already: Bumbledore Level 20 Dwarf Wizard Mordecai's Staff Of Magma Wym's Lavastaff Flame Warper Flame Warper Chartwell's Ring Azgul's Orb Firehide Robes Bertha's Big Clogs Raging Rock Focused Pyromancy Spoiler 1 x Resistant Hide 2 x Blind Rage 2 x Flash Of Agony 1 x Reliable Mail 3 x Firestarter 6 x Volcano 1 x Short Perplexing Ray 1 x Officer's Harness 10 x Firestorm 4 x Flame Spit 1 x Toughness 1 x Glob Of Flame 2 x Accelerate Time 1 x Walk Busty Choppins Level 20 Dwarf Priest Darkblood Glaive Vampire's Blade Stargod's Raiments Aegis Of The Defender Turquoise Boots Hand Of Melvelous Wuuna's Vampiric Shroud Draining Console Raging Rock Focused Healer Spoiler 2 x Enervating Touch 2 x Blind Rage 1 x Toughness 1 x Polearm Slash 1 x Weak Chop 1 x Draining Touch 3 x Consuming Spear 1 x Healing Dash 2 x Defender's Block 1 x Nimble Strike 1 x Quickness Aura 2 x Loner 3 x Talented Healer 1 x Cushioning Armor 5 x Invigorating Touch 1 x Healing Beacon 1 x Bless 3 x Savage Curse 1 x Sparkling Cloth Armor 3 x Spear Of Darkness

I use various iterations of a draw priest, dwarf Firestorm wizard and Elf Flash Of Agony Wizard pretty much for all levels, with new ones every three token changes (tokenless, 3 , 6, 71,44, More). I often try to get the less useful wizard for whatever map killed to speed up the game. Not going to bother copying everything out, but the bones of them: Priest: Demon Charm Of The 2nd Circle, St. Forgue's Sword, Advanced Flexibility + various unimportant stuff. Firestorm: Azgul's Orb, Firehide Robes, Staff Of The Inferno Wym's Lavastaff, Warpers + stuff Flash of Agony: Staff Of The Misanthrope, Armorbane Pendant, Cotton Wizard Robes, Ulalia's Boots, Painful Flashstaff, Robes Of White Wylla, Searing Pain. I have some other characters for variation, but these are the quickest guys usually.
Not much has changed since then. IMHO, Firestorm still reigns supreme in low level farming. Flash Of Agony, Savage Curse and some other cards were nefred, as well as Electroporter Novice and Raging Battler. Acquisitions Incorporated bought tanky priests Night-Forged Plate. Castle Mitternacht bought many great items. Usually, I prefer Galvanized Zombie Boots over Bertha's Big Clogs. Subterranean Ferocity is my default racial skill for dwarves and Battery is the default for wizards. Xander's Mail got upgraded to Snarlcub Hide and Reckless Lycanthropy is just pure fun.
For those just starting out, Outcast's Relic on a priest is a good way to amplify your damage until you can flesh out your firestorm build to 3 wiz. Also, Staff Of The Inferno is a very handy level 3 staff for farming, but it won't drop in the campaign until your renown reaches 15. If you're having trouble getting that far, you might find another player or two willing to co-op with you to get you over the hump. My temporary account has been a disappointment this session (7 months, this time), and I'm having it reset next week so I'll be back to crawling through with bukkis for gear. Dunno why, but I enjoy building from scratch periodically. Good Hunting!
This guys is still working on campaign.... it's been 5 yrs. I wouldn't take his advice. It took me 2 months.
