These guys' true drop rate of Shal'dorei Silk is closer to 5% than the misleading percentage you may see on Wowhead's table of results. Also, their true worth is closer to 80s, than 1.4g.

I state these numbers with extreme confidence, as after having been misled by the drop rate I saw on Wowhead, and confirming that their spawn rate is high (which is why their Count in the table of results is the highest for Shal'dorei Silk currently), after that, I started to focus solely on these guys for my Legion cloth farming needs. Accordingly, I have clocked countless hours, and thousands of kills/loots on these guys. Yes, thousands. I would pay only half of my attention to the muted game, while listening to music, watching a video, or even reading something on the browser, and just pushing sequences of keys on the game, not caring about efficiency or DPS; that's the only way I could go through the mind-numbing grind.

Anyway, so I'm also using MobInfo2 addon, and this is why I can see very accurate and actual numbers and rates. And with thousands of kills, I don't think it can get any more accurate. As I said, Shal'dorei Silk's drop rate from these guys is about 5%. And it does seem to be affected by diminishing returns, believe it or not! The drop rate can drop all the way down to 1%!

If you have cloth scavenging, you can perhaps multiply that by 3x, and get roughly 15%; I reckon it would be less.

And considering the rate at which they drop greens, greys, and other stuff to sell, their true worth is about 80s.

Hope this helps tailors and others looking for efficient farming of Shal'dorei Silk.
