One thing i feel the forum is missing is a Materials Farming Thread, i.e a thread where the best locations to farm various materials (as opposed to best gross gold per hour)
If there is Several Spots where an item can be Farmed Quickly, i will place both, the fastest method with Material/rate/location/build/notes in Bold
I'll Start it off:

Chitin Fragments cost 190g For 10, so if you want 150 thats 3K, from the amount of Legs gained in a run (dozens) its a very viable material gainer, added to main post

Not to mention the shards... and rubies, and sapphires, and Chaos Axes, and Shadow Blade...

Minotaur hides expert salvage into leather at a so-so rate. But at 41 cost or opportunity cost per hide, and only two tanned hide squares from the failed salvage, it's not something to focus on unless leather spikes up in price again.
Also, Arborstone warden vestments give a fair amount of silk, and some linen.

To Orestes's post I would like to add that a Mo/X or X/Mo with Judge's Insight, particularily a R/Mo JI Barrager, can farm up to around 1500 an hour.
Dinkytowner
Anyone got a good place to farm dust? I've been soloing the jade knights outside of the Marketplace, but it's kinda slow.
Shadow Signal
You can 55 the Gates of Kryta mission or just kill the Nightmares that are in Talmark Wilderness to get dust. 55-ing Gates gets you some rares and other stuff but Talmark is faster, you get about 20 dust each when it drops.

anyone got any ideas for bone? - only thing I have come up with are salvaging warden horns.
Wacky
Material:
Bolts of Cloth, Linen (if you have a mesmer)
Bones, Tanned Hide (if you have a necro)
??? (other classes)
Rate: About 30 Cloth or 6 Linen in about 5 minutes
Location: Elona Reach
Build: 55 or Earth Armors + Fire PBAOE (use Lava Font)
Notes: Get Mino horns, exchange for gloves outside Augury and Salvage or Expert Salvage. Anti-farming code kicks in quickly, so only do this once a while.

I need Steel Ingots. Where can i find those?
bobrath
Hmm.... Axes have typically given me steel (course you do get upgrades along the way too).
If you're looking for armor drops, GuildWiki lists:
* Dwarven Armor
* Jade Brotherhood Armguard
* Naga Vambrace
* Zealot's Armor
* Justiciar's Armor
* Seared Armguard
Too bad none of those really lump together anywhere

If this apply to all the Oni, then Oni is the one that will give you bones.
Have fun with them.

outcasts, touch ranger, great materials factory.
jade wands/anything often turns to dust
wood, cloth, leather, iron salvages, and some silk drops
Ive build up a metric tonne of materials green farming these guys. The bone charms also salvage into: you guessed it bone.

For some bones hit up undead outside Bergen is it? Been a while, I uses a W/Mo with judges and just cleaned out the bunch of arcers etc. in the big group got quite a good bit of bones quick.
StellarAshes
Material: Bones
Rate: Very high
Location: Exit from Bergen Hot Springs to Nebo Terrace, continue to Cursed Lands
Build: 55 Mo/X
Notes: You will suffer poison almost constantly, so consider having 13 HP. Smite hex might speed things up a bit but SoJ will already do double damage on the undead (if I remember correctly), making this very fast. They drop about 15-20 bones a pile.
On a side note, the cloth farm I posted previously is also good for dusts: just salvage the jade bracelets.

Amber wands turn to dust... good drops for these in Arborstone and Pongmei Valley (Kurzick half). And will sometimes salvage for 10+ IIRC
Pongmei is also good for Plant fibres, and granite slabs. These come from Undergrowths (Dragon roots salvage nicely into 7-8 fibres) and Stone Skale(sp Scale?) Kirin (stone horns salvage into these). Oh, and Bramble recurve bows seem to drop here a lot from the warden rangers and they also salvage into fibres.
As for bones, anywhere with the undead in Kryta is your friend! I used to do Gates of Kryta for these.
I use a Fire/Earth Elementalist build for Pongmei, but 600 monking works.

Anything involving undead, they drop bone + many of their weapons salvage into bone (but I think bone is the easiest material to get so it's hardly worth it).

) forbidden staves. some of them salvaged into steel. also ornate shields once in a while do.

You can easily farm these in the Gates of Kryta mission behind the house where oink spawns. A large undead army appears when u go down to the swampy area. i do this with a Mo/W SoJ and it rains bones, i usually merch them but i think u can get a stack every 3 runs.

Materials: Glittering dust, Plant fibers, Spiritwood planks
Rate: Dust & Fibers drop ona regular bases, spiritwood drops are more rarer.
Location: Pongmei Valley
Build: Axe W/Mo with judges insight
Notes: Salvage Dragon Roots for Plant Fibers, Amber stuff tends to give fibers too. Farming code tends to kick in rather quick, so dont go overboard here

Plant Fibers, similar to the spider run, Ranger forest farming... you get the idea. Copy/paste about Chittin and change a few words.

Material: Steel Ingots
Rate: Moderate
Location: Outside Senji's Corner, to the left
Build: Ritualist Vengeful Build
Notes: Vermin drop a lot of cockatrice staves that salvage into 2-3 steel ingots. It's extremely easy to do, you don't even have to kill the boss because his patrol path is in a circle and avoidable just by observing him. Other loot might expert salvage into steel too, but I'm not sure. I just know that the staves do.
And they drop rather often.

For steel and iron, do the Shiroken Farming outside Harvest Temple. Almost all the weapon drops salvage into iron and steel.

For steel i farm the hydra in skyward reach i think and superior salvage the wands. For scales i salvage there dessicated hyrda claws give 5-6 with regular salvage and 6-8 with superior i think. but bones and dust from farmin the undead.

for iron/steel/wood
location: nahpui quarter (mission)
rate: 1-40 steel per pass (depends on luck) if its not steel usually iron rarely wood
build: any 55 build or a geomancer build
notes: the star blades mostly drop crenellated swords, the star lights mostly cockatric staffs, and the star uh ranger guys drop random stuff. bring along several salvage kits and for kicks bring a few keys. pull them into nice big groups and its easy simple take downs.
