Whether one likes it or not, I found that mission a challenge for harvesters, and not a bad one.
You have 2 possibilities: Either follow the help (compass) and experience an agro ridden spot. The solutions you find may be helpful for your further digging career on Atys.
Or search for possibilities to mitigate the problem. There are at least 4 spots on Silan where you can harvest the material in the quality required, from q20 up to q45. Most if not all of these spots are non agro. A digger is always thought to be an explorer, so doing bit research does not harm. Or accept the help already given, telling you an alternate location in quality 20.
The easiest "regular" way, digging the materials in Javing Forest, would be asking for help. Even if you do not have close friends, a request in region chat nearly always unearthes a number of helpers. In cases of emergency you may even ask in Universum chat, as not few Mainland players still have a Silan character they may log on. But best spare that for the really hard missions at the end of the mission chain.
The tactics for helpers may be killing most Javings in the swarm, then "walking" the rest. Javings are slow and cannot catch up with a running homin they are pursueing. You may then freely dig your stuff.
Is it possible to dig the mitexi bark (iirc) in Javing Forest solo? Yes, it is. It is bit tricky, but teaches you alot about Atys mechanics.
First, kill all Javings of the swarm except one. Let the last one pass toward its turning point northwest of you (iirc), then pop the mat and stay back and let the Javing pass, then dig. Note that the Javing has a ways shorter attack range when showing its tail than when showing its beak.
The time should suffice to dig all or at least most of a spot. When the Javing comes back, and you have at least 1 or 2 mats dug, run away. When the Javing has lost you, go back, let the Javing pass, dig the next spot. This sounds clumsy, but many agro spots can only be harvested this or similar ways (especially in 250 Prime Roots).
As we use to say: there is more than one way to skin a yubo. But all successful ways are worth to be tried.
