Tricks and hints for the Shawl
Shawl 1 to 3
Most Components can be gotten from the mobs that spawn in the vally between Sleepers Tomb and the Kael ramp
Shawl 4
You do not need to talk to Tanik before you make the potion
1) Start with pet on top of north side of ramp going down to Kael.
2) Take off lev and invis.
3) Place pet on guard.
4) Looking face to face with pet, align yourself with pet and slowly walk backwards, then stop after 20 steps or so, (Don't go super far from pet.)
5) Place pet on follow until he gets to you then place back on guard and repeat steps 4-5 until Tanik spawns. This took me about 5 or 6 times.
6) Hail him, give him the Vial of Velium Vapors, he gives you "Tanik's note".
Shawl 5
Best Place to farm Glowing Biles is South of the Caves in GD.

I will expand on this one, but the easiest way is to work on silk and then do Wu's armor, the best way to farm silk is in:
The easiest way to farm Spiderling silk is:
The 6 sec respawn spiders spawn under ground in the tomb in Field of Bone, Entrance LOC: -294, +2662:

Woven Mandrake, then Picnic Basket, then Wu's Fighting Mantle, then Wu's Fighting Sleeves, then Forest Green Silk Swatch, Ceremonial Solstice Robe
So, before you start this, it will be worth your while to pre-loot 90% of this stuff. I am going to list everything for up to the Shawl 2.0, where another person has already written one.
The Great Divide:
2 Drakkel Wolf Whiskers drop from A Drakkel Dire Wolf (Note: the highest concentration of these wolves is near the Nexus Scion. Only took me 30 minutes to get my two.)
5 Glowing Worm Bile: Alright this one is tricky. It only drops of off elder and young shardwurms. They are spread out, but two or three will be in the tunnels. They will have a tell-tale glow about them. you can notice it on the ground. These will ALWAYS drop the bile. Took me two hours to get all 5.
Eastern Wastes (Bring a tracker);
8 Snow Griffin Eggs (these drop in BOTH EW zones. Get 8, put 4 in the bank. You can thank me later.)
4 Frost Giant Toes
10 Kromrif Heads
1 Tundra Kodiak Meat
2 Frost Bunny Meat (In shawl #3, it says Snow Bunny Meat. This is incorrect, it is Frost Bunny Meat.)
2 Ulthork Meat (Best place to get these is near the ruins in the Rain of Fear version of EW.)
1 Woven Frost Giant Beard
1 Ulthork Tusk (same as the meat. Go to the RoF version)
2 Manticore Manes (tracker makes this job much easier)
Velktor's Lab: Your new favorite zone.
75 Crystalline Silk Threads
10 Small Pieces of Velium
4 Large Bricks of Velium
15 Blocks of Velium
3 Crystalline Silk
I find the easiest way to get all this is to go into the tunnels, which can be found by going through the fake wall on the ramp. And farming ALL the spiders. This will take awhile.
Western Wastes: (Bring a tracker)
2 Unrefined Diamonds
3 Unrefined Emeralds
3 Unrefined Sapphires.
The best way to get these is go to the Wyvern caves in the northern part of the zone, kill them all, and repeat.
8 Velium Hound Furs: this is where you want a tracker. They have a large aggro range, but are widespread.
Cobalt Scar:
2 Siren Hair ( I farmed in SG for hours did not see one. Kill the siren's infront of the zone in to Siren's Grotto a few times. I got both mine in one spawn.)
Siren's Grotto: Maze City
2 Runed Sea Shells (These MUST have the Enduring Breath effect on them with one charge.)
1 Swordfish Tooth
1 Molkor Hide
Kael Drakkel:
1 Royal Kromrif blood Drops off both Klaggan Iceshard and Vorken Iceshard.
Iceclad Ocean:
3 Iceclad Cutlassfish (Fishing! Have fun, bring beer.)
