These will chase you for a while if you happen to pull one, I swam across the ocean above it and it followed me onto land.

These spawn around the Maw of Madness, and continually run into the earthen ring soldiers there.

if you are looking for Embersilk Cloth, the Faceless Soulclaimer are you BEST choice, forget uldum or deepholm. find one near the Maw of Madness in Twilight Highlands and follow it around till you find a shaman and 2 fire elementals sitting and the end of a ramp. the shammy casts heroism every 3 minutes or so, and meeles for around 50k, and the elementals hit the mobs for 60k with their aoe novas. theres another ele shammy atop the small hill casting lighting bots on the mobs too.

just stand near the shammy and TAG the mobs, dont try to kill them. even if you deal only 1dmg to them they still tag you for loot, let the elementals aoe the mobs and AOE loot for great justice.

after one hour farming and looting with a tailor + potion of treasure finding the end result was around 400g, 25 greens, 5 blues, 30+ Tiny Treasure Chest, around 30+ of each volatile and 1300+ Embersilk Cloth

yeah... 1.3k cloth!.. thats 250 BOLTS, not cloth... 250 friggin BOLTS in one hour. the drop rate is completly insane, the mobs just stream in groups of 3 - 4 right to you so you dont even have to move, and the fire elementals destroy them in seconds. all you have to do is some kind of aoe damage and loot. in short, every single second a mob will be dying and sometimes the spawn gets so crazy you and up surrrounded by 10+ mobs. dont worry about damage, the elementals will taunt them and you will barely take any damage.
And if you get ganked just run up the ramp, and the earthen ring NPCs will obliterate any pesky intruders. just dont attack back. ;)

just a note, DONT go here unless you are a tailor, the non tailoring drop rate is crap.
And keep this in mind!, on other sites killing mobs puts them in turbo spawn mode, meaning they will spawn fast and their corpses will despawn faster. in this spot mobs are not in a dinamic spawn times, so their corpses will stay after looted for up to 2 minutes!... my pc was brought to its knees by 100+ corpses and had to lower gfx settings, so keep that in mind.

also, get a mammoth mount so you can vendor the trash right away, theres tons of it. or use a macro to delete it. but since its dropping from lvl 84 mobs, the greys are are actually expensive, so try and sell them to improve the gold/hour ratio to even more crazy levels.

hope this helps, upvote if you find this helpful so others can see.

I followed CMKCot's advice and gave his place a shot at farming Embersilk Cloth, and as of patch 5.3 there were some changes considering those mobs aswell as friendly NPC killing them:

You can no longer loot them by just tagging them - you have to deal at leat 50% of the monsters health in damage, otherwise they drop NO loot, so it became a bit harder farming there since those friendly NPC tend to hit for 70% of their hp. As a discipline priest I figured a method of just casting SW: P on each incoming monster, but standing about ~20 yards away from the NPCs so they wont kill them - 20 yards is enough for the mobs to not hit the NPCs with their aoe, and still leaves a pretty high amout of mobs to kill. I stood close to the nearest tree next to the NPCs and just weaved SW: P here and there, agroing mobs. After an hour with potion of luck, I accumulated 480 cloth and 34 tiny treasure chests. Overall a nice place to farm if Troggs in Deepholm are busy and crowded, but bare in mind that it is only available if you had not done any quests near the Maw of Madness.

Good luck!

As of today, if a tailor, these NPCs are actually more convenient to farm cloth than Verlok Stand in Deepholm. A caster (my warlock) stands back, turns his minion passive, allows the faceless dudes to run toward the two fire guards, but right before they reach the guards, dot them up and they all fall at your feet. Loot.

My numbers in just 10 minutes of light work, not even really tagging every single NPC, including loot from chests acquired using the pot:

117 cloth
17 assorted volatiles (except for life)
9 greens (that is certainly a better drop rate than Verlok Stand, hypothetically, that's 54 greens in an hour if I decided to stick around....Hypnodust!)
and 11 ore (8E, 3P)

The difference is that in Verlok Stand, there is some mounting and flying around, not to mention Verlok Stand traffic. Tons of farmers. All day all night non stop. That is why I will not be opening my big mouth about this little gem. Not sure the drop for cloth is greater, but with no real traffic and a process that includes standing around and just looting after a respectable mob collects at your feet, I would rather go here than Deepholm.
