If the Quarrymill is offering shards the go to Uldah. There is a qest, gloves I think, that you bring to quarry for turn in. This quest gives 4 webs. Then sign up in quarry for the coif qest. so far for me that gets nets up instead of shards everytime. I will do couple of coif quests until it offers shards. Then I go back to Uldah. BTW You can choccobo to south end of map, catch another chocc to drybone and third to Uldah, or vice versa. So if one end or the other is a home point round trip only costs about 120 gil or so.
