Farming embersilk in 5.4 ??

[Fvert]

I am still farming embersilk for the first aid achievement and more
importantly to still make dreamcloth for bags on a weekly basis. Between
my 2 tailors and using everything but the orbs I can make 5 dreamcloth a
week each, meaning I need 40 bolts a week.

I think this grop gave me the suggestion to farm the Troggs in
Needlerock. That was a great place and the only downside was all the
competition. Using the potion of treasure finding meant I could get 40
bolts usually in 30-40 mins.

With patch 5.4 Blizz changed the Troggs to dropping only gold, so any
other suggestions about good places to farm embersilk? I am going to
check out the dwarves in the dry riverbed of twilight highlands. Those
are in groups of 2 or so. Glad for any other ideas.

On an unrelated not, 5.4 also seems to have changed the npcs in
Wintergrasp to providing no drops. When things were slow I would take my
toons there for the battleground for honor and get some Frostweave cloth
in killing them. Stacks of that sell well on the ah. Oh well, not
anymore.

wow-professions have a couple of suggestions but they appear to pre-5.4 so
I'm not sure if they still work:

Other than those places, it should be quite easy to run dungeons if you have
a 90?

Thanks for the suggestions. I will check out those places. The last time
I did it I did it at Krazzworks in Twilight Highlands. It is more up and
down than I would like but the mobs are engaged with other npcs and
usually die before they get to me and the respawn rate is good enough my
first mobs have respawned by the time I get to the end, as long as no
one else is there. I still use the potion of treasure finding to boost
the return and get other useful stuff.

I tend not to run dungeoins for farming. It is not that it is not doable
but seems to be slower.

This may all be moot. I am doing this embersilk farming primarily to
make illusionary bags to top off the bank bag capacity of my various
toons once I outfit them all with the royal satchels. I've got a couple
alchemists who do the transmutes so I have the 30 volatiles per two
tailors each to make the dreamcloth. I don't do the orbs dreamcloth so
that is 5 dreamcloth per tailor. 8 dreamcloth per illusionary bag means
just under 1 bag every other week per tailor.

I don't mind farming the embersilk but up till now I could buy the
volatile life on the ah for under 2g each by checking the ah regularly
and buying all that appeared at that price. I haven't seen anything
posted at that price for over 3 weeks.I won't pay the higher prices and
won't diligently farm enough for the dreamcloth production.

Such is life in WoW.
