My recollection is that The Last Stand in Red Fens drops Slime Molds by the dozen, and that Blister Beetles can be had there pretty easily as well.
Polished Ore is tricky. I suggest you focus on finding a farm location that requires you to fight the absolute minimal amount (preferably "none") and has an "any" node within as short of reach of quest entry as possible. You are going to be farming an "any" node over and over again. Thankfully you don't need much Polished Ore. I'd recommend you budget two hours for that farm, and hopefully you'll be pleasantly surprised at it taking about an hour.
(I didn't have any luck getting MOB treasure bag drops of Polished Ore. I Just don't think there is a location with a high enough density of gargoyles, in the right level range, in quick reach of quest entry. IME the "any" node approach for Polished Ore is more fruitful.)
