Farm is 1.6 spiritsper day, they also drop randomly, and I fairly
often get them in boxes from my weekly Celstials kill. Also well worth
doing the treasure room on Isle of Thunder, you'll get several in
there.

It depends on how much you play the character in question - on my
lesser-played characters, yep, it's a high value. On my main, I'm
drowning in the flippin' things, and they're worthless, I don't even
factor them into values of crafts :-) 

Being a jewelcrafter doesn't help, there's only three things I'd use
them for, all of which are barely worth more than the cost of the gems
that also go into them... half the time I turn them into golden lotus
instead and mail those to my alchemist, more worthwhile! Yet on my lvl
85 engineer, they're naturally like gold dust, the amount of farming
it takes ton get just one skillup is insane.

It's not related to the expansion I'd say, at least, not yet - it's
been something you get tons of at max level and don't use much after
hitting max skill for ages. At least, for me - probably varies with
profession, but as my first two 90s were jewelcrafter (only uses them
a bit) and alchemist (doesn't use them at all unless I want to bypass
cd on living steel), then yeah, my experience is they aren't worth
much once you're skilled up. Only my leatherworkers want them, for
buying recipes, and once I get all recipes, they too will have no use
for them.

(Bear in mind that's the only three professions I have on lvl 90s,
rest are on 85s, but tbh, I don't find myself wanting spirits much on
those either once they're maxed out :-))
