I'd argue the Shawl 5 is the worst to farm. Between having to farm 75 threads in Velketors and 5 biles in GD, it's the most time consuming quest in the chain other than Shawl 8.

However you are already at maximum success rate on that combine so give it a go.

For Shawl 6, it may be worth your while to simply farm enough for 2-3 combines depending on your class. If you can easily solo farm the components and port yourself around like a Druid or wizard, maybe not. But if you're needing assistance in farming or traveling, it may be prudent to just get 4-6 whiskers, siren hairs, and manticore manes and combine. Rather than doing 1 set, failing and having to travel back to CS, GD and EW to collect more. Depends on how you roll the dice. Upside of farming extras is you can do another Shawl 7 quest and spawn an additional Dain whenever Luclin launches in 2026.

Shawl 7 you have a high chance of only needing to do once. If you do fail however keep in mind the Burin which required the Molkor and Swordfish tooth, is returned on success or failure. So you shouldn't delete this item. Also if you have a friend who has done this, the Unfired Rune is a tradeable combine and the firing step *should be* no fail (unsure if it is correctly flagged as such on P99). Which means you can skip pottery entirely if you have a friend to do the Unfired Rune combine for you.
I didn't find the biles to be too hard to farm (I just quaded the shardwurms), but the velks part was pure hell

I agree on the rest, though. Easier to farm several combines worth of shawl 6 than to skill up any farther
