So apparently this area can get phased to a totally different questline. Found out the hard way when I spent an hour here not finding a single quest item, and then having to switch over to a totally unrelated campaign questline (that took another hour to finish). Thanks for nothing blizz.

Why yes, I'm glad you asked, it is kind of garbage that picking up spool threads is an interruptible cast but they despawn before your slow tanky dps butt can finish off the mobs on you. Fun me harder.
Confirmed. This happens when you have the questline during "Aerial Advantage" quest. The mobs that drop the items seem to despawn at random when you are walking around certain areas.. I sent a bug report

Description
We're missing a few tools and parts for sewing a construct. We need these items if we're to rebuild my construct! Search the surrounding area. See if you can find us what we need. Search tables for the Skewering Needles, you can find haulers that carry Razorthread Spools, and look for Clotting Patches on constructs you kill.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Skin in the Game
This task is probably above your capabilities, but listen anyway. As a construct I was feared throughout the Shadowlands. The magnificent skin of my construct was impervious to mortal weapons, it was a work of art that took years to perfect.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Weapon of Mass Construction
We are in luck! Surgeon Stitchflesh and his assistant have not returned from Bastion. The entire Stitchyard is lightly guarded. We must work fast. See if you can get the equipment operational. Once it is active, we can begin the construction process.
