This is helpful if you are still leveling but works well for ALL daily quests. I almost never farm and I have over 10k raw mates of most everything, doing nothing but this. If you want to farm try the starter zones, all though any zone is good once you know how the nodes are laid out.

Aside from writs and survey's, if you have a build that can solo dungeons, that's the easiest way I've found to do it if you're looking to not compete with others killing mobs.
Blackheart Haven, for example, has a lot of harpies that drop scraps. (Even though you can't solo the last boss. I've seen videos of werewolves being able to, but that was long ago.) You can even get a decent amount in FG1 from all the Dreugh there.
Just some examples. Find a easy dungeon with lots of beasties, and run it. Also a good way to make gold by vendoring everything else.
Or, theres usually cat farm trains running in The Rift. Just shout out in chat.

It seems to me you might think dreugh wax drops from dreughs - if that is the case, I'm sorry to inform you, it does not drop from dreughs. You get crafting improvement materials from:
- daily crafting writs (you get these quests from writ boards after you've done the crafting certification quest)
- Refining raw materials
- deconstructing items (this is very inefficient way to get them, if you're after dreugh wax)

Fun fact, there was a time when killing a Dreugh did have a chance to drop dreugh wax ...

Then of course, after a time, you will start having that overwhelming supply of surveys to go deal with from doing your writs. Once you get to that point, farming for mats becomes a non issue. The only thing I ever find myself low on these days are some lower level enchanting mats, which I just buy, to do my daily writs with.

Whats a survey? I've just started playing again, I remember writs but not surveys.
Surveys are random drops from doing daily writs. They look like treasure maps. When you go to the location there will be 6 nodes of that type and you receive a larger amount for every node than normal.
Be aware, there be monsters out there, sometimes near them
