I would suggest however that in general you use a relatively simple concept for farming mats: Go where players don't visit much, ie where there seem to be fewer quests and less interesting things. This tends to be the coast such as the area between the college and North Beacon or Glister Vale to Smugglers Cove in Auridon. North of Gilvardelle to Redfur or north of the Ossuary in Grahtwood etc. It's a matter of finding generally unvisited areas. I use this method to farm stretches between wayshrines across Tamriel. I leave plenty of materials around since I'm basically moving from one Wayshrine to another across the Region Quest Paths farming to a set number of raw material (50 usually).
