Alternative Methods for Obtaining Fleece (Weavers)

[Ksenia]

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.
