I am primarily interested in smithing. To continue to raise my skill, I decided I would need leather paddings for Fine Plate. I decided I would farm Low Quality Rockhopper pelts from 'a greyhopper' in Marus Seru and Shadeling Silk from 'a lesser shade' in Shadeweaver's Thicket. I have two accounts; Arou, my 47 Vah Shir Warrior, is the farmer and Aisya, my 23 Vah Shir Shaman, was along to provide SoW, buffs, and low level healing to avoid downtime.
In Marus Seru, I killed greyhoppers for about 5 hours. This resulted in about 80 Low Quality Rockhopper pelts and 60 Greyhopper pelts. I also picked up a few backpacks full of words and runes, 30 rockhopper eggs and 30 rockhopper blood. I spent most of my time ranging around the Recuso camp straight out from the Netherbian Lair zoneline. While farming, it is convenient to use Recuso camps to scrape off annoying zelniak and lightcrawler adds.
In Shadeweaver's Thicket, I spent about 3 hours in the northeast corner killing everything that moved. This resulted in 12 stacks of Shadeling Silk and 2.5 stacks of swirling shadows. I picked up some incidental condensed shadow, shade silk, rockhopper hides, chitterling bards, and bone chips while doing this. I also ran through the merchants of Shadeweaver's, Shar Vahl, and Hollowshade Moor looking for additional useful bits and came up with more incidentals, spending less than 20p in total. This was not vendor mining, just a quick look at their visible inventory.
The Vah Shir class quests have Beastlords doing tailoring, so I decided I would create a new beastlord, Axael, to kill two birds with one stone. After leveling him to 5 earlier, I spent 21 training points to get tailoring to 21. I took the best gear I could get off my alts and put it on Axael; his resulting WIS was 157.
I had 40 silk patches laying around and skilled Axael to 31 on raw silk masks. Then, I spent 250p on 6 stacks of mandrake roots. Axael went to 61 on these, making woven mandrake. Then I started on the Greyhopper hides making boots. Axael ended up at 90 tailoring.
The net result was 8.5 stacks of leather padding, about 100p profit, and the skill. I sold the swirling shadows in the bazaar for 5p each and picked up a bit from selling off the incidentals drops to vendors. The entire run took about 9 hours of time total.
