Here is a strategy for farming the horn: (Which IMHO is potentially the best item you can pull from the game before level 14)
take party 1 down to Out Post 2. If you walk south of the landing pad (yellow disk) and then west and back north again, you will come to a door on the north wall. follow this hallway around til you find a door on the north wall leading to a large room. Jornhald appears here. Then back out the door into the same hallway, 3 spaces south on the west wall there is a secret door. head that way keep going North as you can. You will come to a T intersection and the game will tell you "A great Battle was fought here" go N. There will be two doors side by side on the south wall. The first one has JS in it sometimes. I have never seen JS in the second. Clear this room, then take the party back out into the hallway. WAIT.
Here is the trick. Now bring in another char and run level 1 taking out all encounters AND opening all boxes. Run about 20-25 rooms. Now go back to the farming party, re enter the JS room. It is magically repopulated. Clear it and then run back to the other JS room. Clear it and then out into the hallway again. WAIT.
Bring in the guy on level one. Clear 20-25 Rooms. Lather, Rinse, Repeat.
This greatly speeds up the process of finding JS.
Good Luck, ya'll,
JF

Using the above strategy, I was able to take down the JS encounter "with box" about 35 times over the course of about 5-5 1/2 hours. The encounter seems to have a box about 75% of the time. I found a total of three horns-- so assuming i went the full 6 hours, that is 1 horn per two hours of game play. Pretty decent return specially for fully equipped chars.
I left a ninja on level 1 to power clean, and used the loop west of the stairs that ends with a tp back to city. I don't know for sure if you have to open all the boxes-- I did so. If someone else is in the game playing-- the need for the level 1 clean up char is diminished, and the repop can be triggered after just 6 or 7 rooms.
