kn1tt3r: Yeah, on an earlier playthrough I reloaded until the ghosts dropped the Light Sword. The loot is the same as in the Bayjin chest with the Vaporizer, except that the ghosts only drop 1 additional item, whereas the chest can contain more. It's still far easier to grind the Buccaneer Ghosts, since 2 casts of Banish and maybe one other spell are enough to kill all of them - so it's very fast.
You'd need need a high level Banish for that (or at least a high level character to make that dust work). That's rarely a thing for a solo and I mostly play those :( Casters don't need it (since Jan-Ette is easiest for the Shield and the Sword can't be used). Fighters can take ages to wake up and get around to killing another ghost. If I go for the Light Sword I do that early, level 10 or 11. Maybe I'll give it a shot if I get there with a solo Samurai or Lord. Then again I never found the Hut too troublesome.
Now that I think about it I probably won't do that with Lord/Samurai either since I did that with my Fighter & Bishop. Maybe if I come around to playing some mod. Any good experiences with difficult mods? As is it makes no sense to go for the most powerful solo characters anymore as I did that already. Light weaponry, even just one of those, renders any character a monster after all...
