Having killed those things myself I have to say the water scrolls are all very rare drops. Since I hadn't heard of this until now, I have to assume anyone who did camp the Sapphire and did see water scrolls to drop wouldn't have thought to post about it, and hazard a guess that this is why you see so many people agreeing that the Sapphires stopped dropping water scrolls.

Me, I had been trying to get Flood since early September and had never seen even one on the AH when I checked, though I see that they do sell occasionally.

If it's true then, well, drop SE a note and try the ISNM is all we can do, huh? Or try the Sapphires in the past, should those areas ever come under beastman control or whatever is needed for them to spawn.

Edit: FFXI AH price history only goes back to Nov., can't really glean any information from it.
