So I'm attempting to gather 60 harpy feathers for this Sackful of Fluff quest – I know that harpies generally spawn right outside the house where you initiate the quest (that's where I went to get the first 12 feathers for the first part of the quest anyway) – but now that I'm trying to get the rest, none of the harpies are respawning?
As an aside, I was doing this quest in tandem with the Harpy Contract also in Chapter 2 – I planted those traps here and they carried them back to their nests (and presumably died/destroyed the nest). Would that have anything to do with why the harpies aren't spawning again?

Just as a final note - I managed to complete the quest, though I had to kill a bunch of the harpies in the Quarry instead to do so. I think the fact that I tried to complete two quests at once (the harpy contract) made things difficult - using the traps on them will essentially stop them from respawning (as you're killing the harpy along with its nest).
Funnily enough, after completing sackful of fluff, harpies began to respawn outside Elthon's house, though in a much smaller number than before.
