There nothing in Vashjir of interest to me at this point. When I have
to harvest Azsara's Veil, I go to Tol Barad. While the number of spawn
sites is limited, they are all near the surface, so I pop a Water
Walking potion and ride a path taking me down the creek to the fort at
the west end, then run overland to the bay on the north, then down the
creek again. '/tar Tank' suffices to let me track the Big Bad in the
bay on the minimap.
In the duration of one potion (20 minutes for my Herbalist/Alchemist)
I get mutiple stacks of A.V. The only drawback is if even one other
herbalist is working, yield drops way off.
