Can you write exactly what levequests? I found only one, where spawns two karakuls... no more.

I'm pretty sure one is the necrologos quest, that gave me about 5 sheep per pop.

5 sheeps per pop is worth about 3-5 fleece, that's a very low return for a leve quest allowance. Considering the amount of time you spent going back and forth, it might be better just trying for a tag.

That being said, I think the real problem is that there are only 9 reliable spawn points in the entire 5000 pop server dropping an item that's is required for 2/3 of the high level recipes.

That's true for almost all the materials that drop.
Boar pelt, toad pelt, you name it. None of the beast mats can support simultaneous farming from more than three or four people. It's why the Leve system in 1.00 gave the mats out. The OW wasn't designed to support the mats farming.

The thing about the leathers is there are at least multiple sources for them with decent respawns. Fleece and Snurble Tufts make it seem like SE wants to punish people who level Weaving. It's absolutely horrible.

At least with Diremite Web there was a leve you could do that, essentially, converts cotton into web. There needs to be leves that let us do the same with linen.

Party animals(triple turn in) can give fleece.
The whole 40 tier actually I believe(in uldah) can give fleece.however party animals requires velveteen.

The entire leve system works the same. It will offer the material reward at most for me five times, then it switches out to shards for an equal number. I can assure you, obtaining hides is not much better. I was running laughing toads the other night and I was getting a 12% drop with 3 other people pinking the spawns as fast as they came. Add in the same mob that drops web drops sinew so I was taking web I didn't want or need from a few people tonight not because I wanted to but I needed the sinew for the level 25 Ltw leve turn in.

It's more a matter of, they made gathering unique to you because they knew 80% of the recipes required drop mats for all the crafts. It was a built in bottleneck. I don't think they were trying to be cruel, I just think they weren't planning the changes with what the game was made to do.
