Is this the BEST way? No.   (Bit of a long post ahead, i apologize if it's a bit boring)

The best way to mass-produce scales is to play with a wickerbottom on your team (or just play her by yourself if solo), make a roughly 8x8 square patch of Hay Walls (so eight hay walls wide and eight hay walls long for a total amount of 64 Hay Walls in a square shape. You might be able to get away with 6x6 instead though depending on how careful you are.), then use a weapon to knock down each hay wall until it's just a stub of grass on the ground. This makes it so that Tentacles can't sprout on that spot due to the broken walls blocking it, but since they are broken walls you can stand on them. Then stand at each corner of the wall and read from wickerbottom's "On Tentacles" book, to summon tentacles, do that at least 4 times (once in each corner, northwest, northeast, southwest, southeast), if you wanna really be thorough read it 4 more times in traditional north/south/east/west between the corners.

Basically you wanna recreate the reed trap pretty much, just without the reeds. Do this in the desert too of course. Then lure dragonfly to this area (place some stone walls around the area if Lavae are a problem) and run to the center of the pit, the Dragonfly will follow and get stunlocked by the ~dozen or so tentacles that will sprout up. They will easily do enough damage if you read the full 8 readings of the book to cause the full stunlock and scale drop on the dragonfly. Wait till the scales drop and the dragonfly flies off to spit Lavae, then grab the scales, get away from tentacles and quit the game. Reload again and the dragonfly will be back at full health and you won't have to wait for the time limit before trying to stunlock him again; rinse and repeat for another set of scales every minute or two (remember to ocassionaly re-read On Tentacles if he kills off too many tentacles in one spot, otherwise he can break through and get to you in the center area.)

You can also just run away from the dragonfly forcing him to do the whole respawn thing where his hp goes back to full and he flies back to the center etc.. which also resets his stunlock timer. If you have good speed through use of magiluminescence + walking cane etc.. then you can also just not reload the game and lead the d-fly around for 20 seconds till the time is up then lure him back to the spot again; this makes it faster than reloading, and also makes him very easy to actually kill if you also want the gems etc.. he drops; although on the downside you're limited in how many scale drops you can get before he croaks and then have to wait a whole season-ish for him to be reborn.
