Profession Guides, Gathering and Crafting.

Wanna help out the forums and i need the rep so im gonna be working on some guides heres my first a cloth farming guide and Tailoring guide. (Sorry if its abit long)

This cloth farming guide provides you with a guideline of what level humanoids to fight for certain types of cloth. While each type of cloth drops off a wide level range of mobs the very lowest and highest level humanoids of each range actually have an extremely small chance to drop. For example, Syndicate Watchman have been reported to drop silk at level 19, while level 47 Slave Workers in Searing Gorge have also reported to drop silk...but your chance of efficiently farming cloth off these mobs might be near impossible. Use the chart as a guideline of what levels to farm and when you find a good spot to farm stick with it.

If you don't really want to dedicate much time to farming cloth and would like to buy it or find better ways to make gold then take a look at this Gold Guide.

Picking where to farm cloth can be tricky. You may find out that a certain mob drops it almost 100% of the time, but this mob might also be hard to find or spread out across a zone. It's really not that efficient to wait for one or two mobs to spawn that drop a piece of cloth 60% of the time when you could be constantly killing mobs with a slightly lower drop rate. So if you are killing mobs for cloth that are spread out or rare you are probably better off clearing camps of mobs even if the drop rate is slightly lower. Because of this the following chart also includes favorite cloth farming areas.

Finally, remember that if you are a higher level character and can farm in Northrend, you might be better off farming for gold than lower level types of cloth. If you suddenly decide to take up tailoring or first aid you are probably better off buying your linen, wool, silk, mageweave, runecloth, and even netherweave cloth in the auction, instead of spending time farming them yourself.

Item Levels that Drop it Levels with Best % Drop Rate Favorite Farming Areas
Linen Cloth 4-27 5-15 Defias in Westfall, Blackpaw in Ghostlands, Deadmines
Wool Cloth 13-36 23-26 Deadmines, Stockades, Furbolgs in Ashenvale
Silk Cloth 19-47 26-38 Scarlet Monestery, Uldaman, Galak in Thousand Needles
Mageweave Cloth 28-54 44-49 Vilebranch in The Hinterlands, Dunemaul in Tanaris
Runecloth 53-66 56-60 Humanoids across Western Plaguelands, Expedition Armory in Hellfire Peninsula
Netherweave Cloth 57-71 67-71 Legion Hold in Shadowmoon Valley, Manaforge B'naar in Netherstorm
Frostweave Cloth 68-81 75-79 Top of Voltarus in Zul'Drak (the mobs are practically instant spawns), The Blight Line near The Lost Lands in Scholazar Basin (the mobs are also practically instant spawns)

Here are some other tips for farming cloth:

-Clean out your bags as much as possible since you will be looting every mob
-Farm with higher level characters to kill mobs as fast as possible
-Farm with a friend and make a designated looter
-Set out to farm with plenty of food, drink, and be fully repaired
-If you are a Tailor be sure to complete the quest "Cloth Scavenging" given by Grand Master Tailoring trainers to receive "Northern Cloth Scavenging" which gives you an increased chance to find cloth on Northrend Humanoids

Tailoring 1-125
This is probably the cheapest and easiest part of the guide since it involves the creation of items made with linen and wool cloth and lower level recipes. Keep in mind that the number of items listed to craft is just an estimate and you might need to make more or less to reach the project skill.

Projected Skill Item Amount to Craft Components Sell or Keep
1-43 Bolt of Linen Cloth 60 120 Linen Cloth Keep
43-61 Linen Belt 20 20 Bolt of Linen Cloth/20 Coarse Thread Sell
61-76 Reinforced Linen Cape 15 30 Bolt of Linen Cloth/45 Coarse Thread Sell
76-105 Bolt of Woolen Cloth 60 180 Wool Cloth Keep
105-110 Green Woolen Vest 5 10 Bolt of Woolen Cloth/10 Fine Thread/5 Green Dye Sell
110-125 Double-stitched Woolen Shoulders 15 45 Bolt of Woolen Cloth/30 Fine Thread Sell



Tailoring 125-250
For this section you will begin by leveling up with silk cloth and finish off with making items from Mageweave. Once again remember you may need to make slightly different amounts to reach the projected skill. If you don't feel like farming cloth but need gold look at this gold making guide.

Projected Skill Item Amount to Craft Components Sell or Keep
125-145 Bolt of Silk Cloth 162 648 Silk Cloth Keep
145-160 Azure Silk Hood 17 34 Bolt of Silk Cloth/34 Blue Dye/17 Fine Thread Sell
160-175 Silk Headband 16 48 Bolt of Silk Cloth/32 Fine Thread Sell
175-185 Bolt of Mageweave 104 520 Mageweave Cloth Keep
185-205 Crimson Silk Vest 20 80 Bolt of Silk Cloth/40 Red Dye/40 Fine Thread Sell
205-215 Black Mageweave Leggings or Black Mageweave Vest 10 20 Bolt of Mageweave/30 Silken Thread Sell
215-225 Orange Mageweave Shirt 14 14 Bolt of Mageweave/14 Orange Dye/14 Heavy Silken Thread Sell
225-230 Black Mageweave Gloves 5 10 Bolt of Mageweave/10 Heavy Silken Thread Sell
230-250 Black Mageweave Headband or Black Mageweave Shoulders 20 60 Bolt of Mageweave/40 Heavy Silken Thread Sell



Tailoring 250-300
Getting from 250-300 is pretty simple, you only have to craft 3 different items.

Projected Skill Item Amount to Craft Components Sell or Keep
250-260 Bolt of Runecloth 192 960 Runecloth Keep
260-280 Runecloth Belt 20 60 Bolt of Runecloth/20 Rune Thread Sell
280-300 Wizardweave Leggings 22 132 Bolt of Runecloth/22 Dream Dust/22 Rune Thread Sell



Tailoring 300-375
There are a few things you need to know for this section. First off, in order to level above 300 you will need to visit a Master Tailoring Trainer (or Grand Master Tailoring Trainer). Secondly, there are a few patterns that you must purchase and cannot train at the train, they are listed in the table below.

To level up above 300 you'll need to visit a Master Tailoring Trainer:

Master Tailoring Trainer Location Horde or Alliance
Hama Honor Hold, Hellfire Peninsula Alliance
Dalinna Thrallmar, Hellfire Peninsula Horde

Here are the patterns you need to buy for this section of the guide.

Item Where to Buy for Horde Where to Buy for Alliance
Pattern: Bolt of Imbued Netherweave Eiin in Shattrath City (Lower City) Eiin in Shattrath City (Lower City)
Pattern: Netherweave Tunic Eiin in Shattrath City (Lower City) Eiin in Shattrath City (Lower City)
Projected Skill Item Amount to Craft Components Sell or Keep
300-325 Bolt of Netherweave 376 1880 Netherweave Cloth Keep
325-340 Bolt of Imbued Netherweave 102 306 Bolt of Netherweave/204 Arcane Dust Keep
340-345 Netherweave Boots 5 30 Bolt of Netherweave/10 Knothide Leather/5 Rune Thread Sell
345-350 Netherweave Tunic 5 40 Bolt of Netherweave/10 Rune Thread Sell
350-375 Bolt of Frostweave 40 (you will need more later so craft until gray) 200 Frostweave Cloth Keep



Tailoring 375-450
This is the last stretch of the guide. This portion will require a lot of Frostweave Cloth so if you are getting tired of farming cloth but don't have the gold to buy a bunch take a look at this Gold Guide for tips on how to make lots of gold.

To level up above 375 you'll need to visit a Grand Master Tailoring Trainer:

Grand Master Tailoring Trainer Location Horde or Alliance
Darin Goodstitch Valiance Keep, Borean Tundra Alliance
Benjamin Clegg Valgarde, Howling Fjord Alliance
Charles Worth Dalaran Alliance/Horde
Alexandra McQueen Vengeance Landing, Howling Fjord Horde
Raenah Warsong Hold, Borean Tundra Horde

Here is the guide.

Projected Skill Item Amount to Craft Components Sell or Keep
375-385 Frostwoven Belt 10 30 Bolt of Frostweave/10 Eternium Thread Sell
385-395 Frostwoven Cowl or Frostwoven Leggings 11 55 Bolt of Frostweave/11 Eternium Thread Sell
395-400 Duskweave Belt 5 35 Bolt of Frostweave/5 Eternium Thread Sell
400-405 Bolt of Imbued Frostweave 11 (you will need more later) 22 Bolt of Frostweave/22 Infinite Dust Keep
405-415 Duskweave Wristwraps 11 88 Bolt of Frostweave/11 Eternium Thread Sell
415-425 Duskweave Boots or Duskweave Shoulders 10 100 Bolt of Frostweave/10 Eternium Thread Sell
425-445 Frostsavage Gloves or Boots or Shoulders or Frostweave Bag 26 78 Bolt of Imbued Frostweave/104 Crystallized Fire/104 Crystallized Earth/52 Eternium Thread or 156 Bolt of Imbued Frostweave/52 Eternium Thread Sell

There are a few different paths you can take to level up the last five levels of your tailoring. First off you can continue to craft the green Frostsavage patterns or the green Frostweave Bag patterns. Be aware that this will take a very large amount of attempts until you actually hit 450 and is not a practical route to take if you are concerned with leveling up as quickly as possible.

The second suggestion I have is to level up off of yellow or orange Ebonweave, Moonshroud, or Spellweave patterns. The easiest way to do this is to begin creating each of these cloths at 415 when they are trainable. Also be sure to check the auction house for cloth and get other tailors you know to use their cool downs to create the cloth for you. Be sure that you have specialized in either Mooncloth Tailoring, Shadowweave Tailoring, or Spellfire Tailoring so that when you craft the one you are specialized in you will receive two pieces of cloth instead of one. (If you have not already done this you can find the Specialists to train you in Lower City in Shattrath City.)

Projected Skill Item Amount to Craft Components Sell or Keep
445-450 Frostsavage Gloves or Boots or Shoulders Many 3 Bolt of Imbued Frostweave/4 Crystallized Fire/4 Crystallized Earth/2 Eternium Thread per skill up Sell
445-450 Frostweave Bag Many 6 Bolt of Imbued Frostweave/2 Eternium Thread per skill up Sell
445-450 Ebonweave Gloves or Moonshroud Gloves or Spellweave Gloves 6 24 Ebonweave or Moonshroud or Spellweave/24 Bolt of Imbued Frostweave/6 Eternium Thread/6 Frozen Orb Sell
445-450 Ebonweave Robe or Moonshroud Robe or Spellweave Robe 5 40 Ebonweave or Moonshroud or Spellweave/30 Bolt of Imbued Frostweave/5 Eternium Thread/5 Frozen Orb Sell
