You don't have to gather it fresh. You can use items that you already have in your bags, or get some from the auction house.

Welcome! You wouldn't believe the amount of materials we go through up here, and not just the rare stuff! We could always do with more Gloom Chitin. If you find some, bring it to me. I'll see to it you get paid.
