Le mieux , je pense c'est de farmer les faucheur qui sont près de l'avatar de freya au bassin

Commentaire de 1228572

Vous aller a la couronne de glace, puis presque au centre de la map il un petit "Village" Ymirheim puis donc à gauche de ce petit village vous aller trouver des pack de mob les Héros Converti tué les looté. Pour moi le meilleur plant pour loot des Etoffe de tisse-givre.

Commentaire de 998406

Je conseille vivement le spot recommandé dans les commentaires en Anglais! Cela fournit entre 30 et 60 tisse-givre pour 3 minutes de trash. De loin le plus rentable.

Cela se trouve dans l'instance Naxxramas. Il s'agit de tous les packs de chauve souris dans le couloir après le boss "Noth le Porte-Peste" (Quartier de la Peste).

Il suffit de se soloter le boss une fois, ensuite vous pouvez faire les packs et ressortir pour reset l'instance (clic sur votre portrait, "réinitialiser toutes les instances" dans le menu). Les premiers trash et le boss down ne reviennent pas, mais les packs suivants si, ce qui permet de farmer à répétition le spot.

Commentaire de KyrielleRedwyne

Allez juste à l'Ouest du Caveau des Ombres, à ce qui s'appelle l'Escarpement Sauvage. Vous trouverez beaucoup de Combatants de Mjordin, sur lesquels vous looterez pas mal d'étoffes, et dont le repop est extrêmement rapide.

The new highest level cloth used in Wrath of the Lich King

Commentaire de 148365

Interestingly, the "bandage vendor cap" for Frostweave Cloth appears to be 15s, just like it was for Netherweave bandages. Perhaps there will finally be a top-level cloth whose best use isn't vendoring!

(This is unlikely.)

Commentaire de Rycul

Just a quick FYI for all First Aiders out there: Once you set foot in northrend and this Frostweave cloth starts to drop, you can make:

-"Frostweave Bandage": Heals 4760 damage over 8 sec; Requires 350 First Aid to use.
Then you will be able to make:

-"Heavy Frostweave Bandage": Heals 5480 damage over 8 sec; Requires 400 First Aid to use.

PS: Rate up if this was usefull in any way whatsoever.

EDIT: As the reply to this post states, dense and purified frostweave bandage were removed before live.

Commentaire de 53867

Guessing from earlier experiences with Runecloth in vanilla-WoW, and netherweave in TBC. Tailors are gonna need a mountain load of this stuff.

Don't be surprised if you suddenly need 5000 Frostweave Cloth to get your tailoring maxed out.

A little tip. Kill humanoids whenever you can, and do not throw away a single piece of cloth.

Commentaire de Ghakor

A book drop will allow tailors to find extra cloth on mobs, which would make it a lot easier for them. A Guide to Northern Cloth Scavenging.

Farming at Kaskala in Borean Tundra, taking down the spawns on the western most of the two ships I was able to gather 5 stacks in an hour (100 pieces of cloth). I've tried this late at night, in the morning, and again mid afternoon and found no one else there on my server, though your mileage may vary.

Commentaire de huldu

Frostweave cloth is by far the hardest cloth to get in the game. Hunting various level 78-80 humanoids mobs for hours and hours each day (10k+ kills on each kind). Not sure why its this bad. If you look at all other kinds of cloth its not that uncommon to get a piece per mob. When it comes to frostweave you can go through 10 mobs with ease until you get a cloth.

Cult Alchemist and Damned Apothecary

Drops a lot of frostweave, at least it does for me. ( Tailor )
Fast spawn rate and there very tight together, unlike Solozar basin mobs that are mostly 30 yards apart from each other.

I'd pick this spot to farm frostweave over any other.

Best is to do it after the daily Retest Now
Which gives you a nice 2 hour Icecrown buff and used with Reading the Bones buffs, it will give you something extra :)

Usually farm there for 1-2 hours with a average of 200 cloths per hour.

Commentaire de 102269

This is easily farmed from Icecrown in the areas where you do the Ebon Blade dailies. These sell on the AH for between 19-30g depending on time of day, supply, and server. Easy gold. Storm Peaks also has a fairly high drop rate among humanoids but as I have spent more time in Icecrown I am more familiar with the drop rates there.

Commentaire de gostop

these don't vendor well as netherweaves did... Heavy forst bandages are only 5g a stack, but the good thing is they sell on AH very well. I can sell theses at 15g a stack pretty easily w/o auction cancelling on me... possibly even more. And for the amount of work you put into getting them, its a pretty good rate.

Commentaire de 111622

I'm seeing a lot of useless comments and replies around here, mostly about bandages and patch notes and such, as a very geared mage with tailoring and enchanting, farming Frostweave Cloth is now an adventure with the ever changing drop rates. I'll let you in on the best places to farm, for AOE grinding.

Icecrown - 50, 34 (fast respawns, but only 1 cloth per mob after patch)
Zul'Drak - In front of Argent Stand, guards can help

Commentaire de 299502

Even though the drop rates have been severely nerfed, I still find 66, 51 in scholazar the best place to farm frostweave. I was getting around 7 stacks an hour killing mobs singularly, ocasionally AOE'ing them, but overall still the best place even after the nerf.

Commentaire de 229512

I went to the scholazar basin earlier tonight and in 45 min i got 42 cloth and 110g from loot and vending. I am an 80 druid and I was aoeing 4 to 5 mobs at a time. The drop rate that I was getting was between 20-25% Still a little faster than the drop rate I was getting in storm peaks. Of course in storm peakes i was farming relics of ulduar.

Commentaire de 235398

First of all, First Aid in Northrend is a hideous joke by blizzard to torture tailors. All my mates are hording the stuff to get the damned achievement.

On a more practical note, I saw that the Cult of the Damned mobs in Icecrown seem to have the highest drop frequency. Where though, would you all say is the best and most efficient place to farm Frostweave?

Commentaire de wpbsmoka

Just farmed Scholazar mobs and in 1 hr time I got 10+ stacks(200+ cloth). Spawn rate was fast, so just stay on your toes and you'll be alright. Of course there were numerous green and grey items, thick fur scraps(10g a stack), potions, scrolls etc.... All said and done, it's a very profitable spot to farm.

Commentaire de Sardoche

I've been saving all spots i found very farmable before. And the best place to farm cloth,gold,green maybe blue items is the place in the following screenshot:

http://www.wowhead.com/?maps=210:257613247611248623261625

You guys might remember that you have done a lot of quests in this round.

And ofc, no matter how hard you guys trying to farm frostweave. The tailors got a chance to find additional cloths on humanoids.

Commentaire de dustdog

Tried out the constant respawn area by Freya; as a non-tailor, I would say it's terrible, 40+ kills for 3 cloth.

Commentaire de 343118

Post 3.1, the Bonesythe in Scholozar still drop cloth at a decent rate. Gained 120 cloth in just under an hour, plus 3 greens, a number of greys and about 20 gold in fur scrap.

-edit-

That is with 450 Tailoring and Northern Cloth Scavenging, by the way. Non-tailors will find the cloth more scarce.

Commentaire de 259191

I read over all the locations that were given by tailors and non-tailors and I have to say there is an issue no one has properly addressed.

http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=59390
Northern Cloth Scavenging increases the amount of cloth dropped by HUMANOID targets.

A lot of the locations listed previously contain high amounts of undead targets. The Northern Cloth Scavenging does not apply to these targets.

How do I know?

It all goes back to the "WTF WHYFOR ME NO SHACKLE UNDEAD IN PVP?111oneONE1?" argument.

Blizzard doesn't classify undead mobs as humanoids. They drop cloth because they have it on their loot table and that's all.

The reason you're finding a high return of cloth in Sholazar Basin from the undead mobs because they are concentrated in a specific area (especially the Mosswalker Village SE of the Avalanche) with a pretty decent respawn rate. The reason being is the quests that run adjacent to these areas have affected the respawn rates of undead here. I can't recall the name of the quest but it requires you to "mount" (durty) a miniTitan and kill 200 undead and 3 named elites.

(This is the location of the village for you non-tailors out there. I got about 1 frostweave cloth per mob while aoeing.

I'll update this once I've had more time to figure out the best ratio of time/frostweave cloth/drops/blah blah/coffee/hot pockets.

Commentaire de 370112

i didn't have much luck at the sholozar basin as most have said they have had good results at.

by far the best, for me at least, was storm peaks. those flying witches in the frozen over ravine just below the Temple of Storms gave me good results. a few even gave me X4 Frostweave Cloth. in an hour i got a little over 3 stacks of it. i also received the Glyph Book of Mastery as a drop. i was stoked.

Commentaire de Lycanthropy

After having read some of the comments on here, I decided that I should farm for frostweave in Sholazar Basin. I started right in front of the Avatar of Freya, and worked my way around. I started to the right, and most mobs seemed to have dropped 1-2 frostweave a piece. It stopped after about 10-13 kills, and that was after having gone up the landscape. From my observations, I can see that as you progress up the lost lands (the sub-area where I farmed), you'll see less and less frostweave. After having figured this out, I headed back down to the avatar's pool-area. I farmed there for about 15 minutes, and most of the bonescythe undead seemed to drop 1 frostweave at a drop rate of about 50%.
Having spent 30 minutes farming around the avatar's pool area and the lost lands, I received a total of 80 frostweave, totaling to 4 stacks. Not bad, but I'm sure that there's a better farming spot.

FYI- I have the northern scavenging ability. Without it, it seems like no frostweave would drop at all.

Commentaire de 81529

I'm having a lot of trouble farming this as a 79 frost mage, I can't pull more than two-three mobs at a time at the Sholazar area because the collective Bone Saws just eat me alive and interrupt my blizzards. Is there another, not-as-good but decent place to farm?

There must be- where do people go when this area is occupied?

Or perhaps I'm just doing this wrong. Do I have to have an AoE-specific spec or something? Help.

Commentaire de 248959

Just spent 30 mins at 66.50 in Sholozar (with tailor scavaging) and I got 6 stacks.

Seriously, if you are a tailor with scavaging GO HERE! As a destro in full T7.5 i can 2 hit all mobs, and I can stand still and the mobs will just respawn before I can finish looting. No down time cos of Fel Armor healing me, and using Life Tap.

Commentaire de 404408

Demo warlock Lvl 79 here. so far ive gotten 2 stacks in 8 minutes (Northern Cloth Scavenging) in Sholazar Basin, the area called Rainspeaker rapids. Several undead mobs and the respawn is super fast!

Commentaire de 238963

Farming this stuff is a major pain if you're not a tailor. Your best bet is Sholazar like the others have said. I just spent about 40 minutes there and got a little over 2 stacks. If you're only looking for this for First Aid, it might be easier to just buy it off the AH. Either that, or go do some instances and ask nicely if you can have the cloth.

Commentaire de rednik

idk what u guys are thinkin in sholozar basin but if your a tailor that northren cloth scavenging only works on humanoids not undead so that place is a no good for tailors the best place i have found is a island in icecrown onslaught harbor where all the scarlet dudes are 10 mins came out with 3 stacks easy cords are 75.16 the entrance to the main building on this island have meny mobs all with fast respawns and the chance to drop 1-4 cloth and they are meny groups around aswell just watch what u pull u can pull the wholes stairs with one wrong cast

thx rednik (80 lock)

Commentaire de 54028

The best spot, like many other materials, is a place before phasing. So if you've done the Riders of Unholy/Blood/Frost quest line, this will be of no use to you. The Initiates/Understudies in front of each Rider's area have a high drop rate and fast respawn.

However, if you've done Generosity Abounds, Matchmaker, and Stunning View, and turned them in, the area phases upon return and the initiates/understudies are no longer there.

Even if the drop rate gets nerfed at some point, it will still be a viable farming spot, as it can only be farmed by people who have not quested through Icecrown yet. This is the same as other such materials as Nerubian Chitin at the Argent Vanguard -before- doing The Last Line of Defense, and Eternal Fire at Fjorn's Anvil in Storm Peaks -before- turning in Mending Fences and The Refiner's Fire.

Commentaire de 432589

Sindragosa's Fall in Icecrown (south of Argent grounds)

Mobs are lvl 80 and close together but not hard to kill. Cloth drops are good (even from the Whleps). Trash sells for gold. A few greens come up now and then. Also, with folks constantly doing dailies the respawn rate is excellent.

Commentaire de cinderblock

Confirmed the coordinates in the basin at 66.51 (via Croakafish). CONSTANT mobs. With and without cloth scavenging the drops were pretty good. 30 min - 2 stacks. Died once (mage) as about 5 re-popped right after I cleared the area. Aside from that if farming it is your thing - i didn't find a better spot.

Commentaire de Babetastic

I have found the best spot to farm this (S. Priest on a very low population PvP server) is in and around Onslaught Harbor. As a tailor I pick up stack after stack of this, as well as many greens and trash items that sell for quite a bit (thick fur scraps!). There is a cave beneath the harbor that is filled with easily soloable elite mobs (I avoid the uber elite dude at the very end of the cave) that also drop cloth and up to a gold in cash! I was getting 6 pieces per guy sometimes, with northrend cloth scavenging.

I've tried many places, but this one works best for me. Hopefully someone else will have good luck here. :D

Commentaire de 77205

The best place for farming frostweave cloth is Onslaught Harbour. It's in the NW corner of Icecrown and you have 3 Ebon Blade dailys there. Every time I do my dailys, I find 2 1/2 stacks of cloth in my bags. Dailys take about 10-15 mins to do. So with an hour of farming you'll get 10-12 stacks easy.

Commentaire de 270942

I'm surprised no one mentioned the Vrykuls in the caves in Brunnhildar Village. Fairly easy to gather up for AoE kills and they're neutral mobs so they won't bother you if you need to sit down to eat/drink. The respawn rate is fairly decent if no one else is there farming them. They also drop Relics of Ulduar to sell on the AH or for personal use.

Commentaire de 166755

I'm at the famous Sholazar Basin location of 66, 51. I've killed 45 and only have 5 cloths to show for it. Where in the world do I go now? I'll never get my Tailoring above 385 at this rate. Shame on Blizz for nerfing it so much.

Commentaire de 278544

Lvl 80 Destro lock in ilvl 232+ gear farming at the famous Sholozar Basin (66,50). Once I got in the groove, I'd be able to pull 4-5 mobs with immolate, then aoe them down or single target at my discretion.

After exactly 35 minutes of farming, I had over 10 stacks of frostweave, 5 greens, and over 60g worth of picked up money/selling greys (I have the traveler's tundra, so I could sell them all right there as well) along with a couple pots. A great place to gather frostweave if you can handle yourself since they'll be constantly more coming at you.

Commentaire de dJe781

I was puzzled after having read the comments over here, and spent half an hour on the spot. I assumed that it was nerfed after all.
I double checked my location, and it turns out that the spot everyone is talking about (66,50) is a very specific one.
Make sure that you are standing in this very spot, and not wandering around.

Commentaire de tragic00

RNG seemed to like me. Spent around 30-45 minutes @ Sholozar Basin (66, 50), ended up with 200 Frostweave Cloth, Leggings of Violent Exsanguination, Zabra's Misplaced Staff & Roc-Feather Longbow + some random greens.

If you stand on the mound by the water you will have a steady flow of mobs at you.

Happy farming!

Commentaire de 108550

The mobs in SB still drop it at a fairly high rate (relatively) especially if you're a high level tailor. Was farming on my level 77 demo warlock earlier for about 20minutes and got nearly 70 cloth, as well as 4-5 greens and about 25g. Not that much experience though (around 1.5k-2k with BoA chest/shoulders and WG xp bonus) but still a good spot.

Commentaire de sunsmoon

In 20 minutes of farming I got 2 1/2 stacks of frostweave cloth from the Venture Co Camp in Sholazar. As a T9.5 geared shadow priest, I wasn't running out of mobs unless there was someone questing in the area.

Unfortunately, it's one of the first questing "areas" in Sholazar, so there will be some decent competition from time-to-time.

Commentaire de TherapyBE

I found Dark Zealot to be pretty good to kill for Frostweave Cloth.
They have low hp, do low damage and are AoE'able.

Commentaire de 541689

I noticed that all of the mentioned farming spots require you to be around 80. But what about a lvl 70 frost mage? does anyone know of any good spots please?

Commentaire de 535137

hmmm... a great spot for these is in Onslaught harbor, Icecrown... as protection paladin is hell easy to take down all the mobs infront the cathedral and inside... 2 / 3 mobs drops 1 cloth and sometimes 3 to 5 with Cloth scavenging

Commentaire de 556034

Frostweave cloth drops so much that on most servers, it'll be hard to find buyers for your excess cloth. Note that although the vendor price of this stuff is only 12.5s (2.5g per stack), any tailor can turn 5 into 1 bolt, which is worth 1g to a vendor.

This means that the effective vendor price of Frostweave Cloth is 20s per cloth or 4g per stack.

Commentaire de Vetis

http://www.wowhead.com/npc=32255#comments Converted Hero, plenty of single ones and groups of 6+ as well. They pack a punch but die quickly, drop rate is pretty good. Something to consider if the sholazar area is being farmed, I never see people here, its only attraction would be the scourge killing daily.

Commentaire de 430384

TAILORS : if you are a tailor you will have to farm it because it is : every 5 cloth you get 1 bolt but if you get a stack of 20 bolts you can sell them on AH for over 200g, i sold 2 stacks for 250g.

You'll need over 200 frostweave cloth to make some items to level up your tailoring as it is around 11 bolts of frostweave cloth.

The mobs are normaly in icecrown and in most level 80 dungeons it is really easy to farm...

Commentaire de Angharad

I have found that an excellent place to farm them is in Icecrown, off the converted heroes (Héros converti).
They drop every time, mostly in singles, with few exceptions.
Hope you find as many as I did, happy farming ^^

Commentaire de 612867

Hey! I found out that there are some mobs called "Cultist infiltrator" that drops a lot of Frostweave cloth. You can find them at a camp called Death's Hand Encampment which lays between The Lost Lands and The Glimmering Pillar in Sholazar Basin.
I'm tailor, maybe that's why they drop so much cloth, i don't know. Happy farming anyways :P

Commentaire de 622816

I just farmed 152 stacks in about four hours pounding on the Scavenging Geist (lvl78-79, 12.5k HP). There are bunched together and can easily be herded together for AOE killing. AND they never run out, constantly respawning. Easily a more than 50% drop rate of 1-4 pieces.

Commentaire de 627559

There is an area much better than any of these in my opinion. The Converted Heroes found in Icecrown have a fairly high drop rate of frostweave cloth. In addition, they walk around in groups of 7, and since they're the target of a daily quest, they have a very high respawn rate and there are quite a number of them. As a retribution paladin, it's very easy for me to go in, kill a few of these groups, and gather up a single stack of frostweave cloth in five minutes easy.

Hope this helps you all. ^_^

Also, these guys drop Thick Fur Clothing Scraps alot as well, which is great vendor trash. 50 silver a piece, 10g a stack of it to vendors. In addition, the number of mobs you're taking out in a short period also increases the chance of green items dropping, and I can get quite a few to sell in little time at all.

Commentaire de Infares

I farm Frostweave off the Undead Minions in Mord'rethar the Death Gate in Icecrown. You need to be able to AoE ~19 mobs at once without dying to their stacking debuff, but once you do that, if you clear the other mobs around the area, you'll only have to fight 5 at once which should be doable for anyone.

Commentaire de 27922

I found a new favourite place to farm Frostweave tonight, the drop rates I find are better than those in Sholazar from the undead, however the density of the mobs is far lower compared to.

Kill the trolls at this location;
http://www.wowhead.com/maps?data=66:585633

They're only level 75/76 so you shouldn't have too much trouble farming them at all as a level 80. They do include casters and ranged attackers so AoE grinding these down isn't an option, but they're too spaced out for that anyway. Still plenty to go around, I did this at about 7 in the evening and only saw one other player over the space of an hour.

About an hour yielded 5 and a bit stacks of Frostweave for me.

Commentaire de 70814

Go near Gundrak in Zul'Drak. It has a ton of easy to kill trolls who have good drops if you have the tailoring thing that gives more cloth drops, and it is by FAR the best low-lvl Northrend herb drop area in the game, and also if you follow the northern mountains there are a ton of higher lvl herbs too. They sell decent but the real money is if you have a alt with inscription, then you make a TON of money. The herb drops make any other drop i've seen in the game look pitiful. So it has both of those things in a relatively tiny area. Best gold producer EVAR, IMO

Commentaire de 338034

I tried the location is Sholazar Basin and found that it gave out a decent amount of cloth, but I found a spot that was MUCH better for lvl 80 grinds.

Scourgeholme.

Everything in Scourgeholme drops Frostweave cloth. The Reanimated Crusaders, the Forgotten Depths High Priest and Underkings all drop it. WIth the most dropping off of the Underkings. Usually three per Underking kill.

I'm not sure why this place hasn't hit the top of the drop charts here on wowhead, but I haven't found anywhere better than this to farm Frostweave.

In about 15min of questing, I gather three stacks with the increased drop rate as a tailor.

Commentaire de 623753

It seems as though many posters that have mentioned farming the undead in Sholazar are not quit in the right spot. I made this mistake at first too, going for the mobs on the grassy hill near the Avatar of Freya. In fact, you want to be in the water right in front of her and slightly to the left. You should be able to reach quite a few mobs from this spot. Also, once you start attacking, the spawning rate seems to speed up (or additional spawn points are triggered) and the threat you generate will pull in more and more mobs. Not sure how this will work out safely for casters, but for my pally it's awesome! I wasn't paying the most attention, but I believe I got at least 8 or so stacks of cloth, a bunch of greens and vendor trash, and around 200 gold in an hour. This was all with some &*!@#$% DK death and decaying and trying to steal most of my kills. Great spot.

Commentaire de 644713

Best spot/way to farm this is simply by going to Icecrown with a:

* Protection Paladin
* Shadow Priest
* Demology Warlock (never tried it)

Usually I run this area for approximately 1 hour every day with an result of 250g ONLY in vendor trash and the direct silver drop from the NPC:s for a total of 800g+ when posting up the stuff on the AH (having all requirements presented below).

Requirements & Preferences:

Norhrend Cloth Scavaging - a tailoring passive skill wich REALLY boosts the drop rate of this cloth

80 slots of free bag space - they fill up faster than you think

An skilled enchanter for disenchanting greenies

Atleast 5k Gearscore.

You might think that the most effective farming here would be using a warlock or a paladin. But it really isnt. Lately ive always been farming here using my priest just casting Mind Sear on those packs, just make sure to buff yourself with Power Word: Shield before every pull and you will be fine.

Hope this helped you solving your gold problems =)

Commentaire de 655564

I have been leveling Tailoring and bought out all the Frostweave Cloth on the AH that was less than 18g per stack (my llimit). Then I came here and read that Icecrown is the place to go. So I dropped by my old mates the Converted Heros to try them out. In 1.5 - 2hrs I pulled in the following (approx numbers).

- 30 stacks of Frostweave Cloth (with the tailoring talent)
- 400g in coin/greys
- 15-20 Greens
- Quite a few health/mana pots, scrolls, food and drink.

I did this on my Boomkin who is in mostly 251 gear inc 5/5 T10, some 264 and 277 items.

My Strat
- Hurricane pull 3 groups
- Pop Starfall when they're close/hitting on me
- Backpeddle until their all in front of me and then pop Typhoon
- Hurricane until they're dead!

I found that 3 groups is optimal, but can lead to a swift death if not done right (yep, I died a few times!). If you get into trouble, you're better off trying to kill them quicker because they put a reduced healing debuff on you. I OOMed pretty quickly as well from all the Hurricaning, so those mana pots were rather handy at times.

I am going to go back again tonight and take more note of what I pull in an hour.

---------EDIT---------
After one hour these were my reulsts:
-200 gold (selling greys and coin)
-18 greens
-19 stacks of Frostweave Cloth
-26 gold repairs

I had some bad luck with some pulls (hence the repairs) and didn't find it to be a totally good run - but it was still a decent haul none the less.

Commentaire de 312346

Why has no1 posted about the valley of the fallen heroes? In an hour i usually net about 12 stacks of frostweave cloth (less than converted heroes but more than the pond by freya.) All the mobs are non-aggressive and the best classes to do this with is probably a bear druid, aff warlock, shadow priest or a hunter (depending on skill lvl, hunter is the hardest).

Commentaire de Crazyhairs

I decided to finish leveling my tailoring, and so wanted to AOE farm a bunch of frostweave cloth as fast as possible. I read all the comments here, and after much testing, it is my opinion that Converted Heroes found here in Icecrown are indeed the best place to do this. I made a quick Youtube guide on how to do this most efficiently.

I tried various from above locations on my level 82 Shadow Priest and what I learned is the following.

It's a worseless effort without Northern Cloth Scavenging. I've got almost as many greens as I got cloth
As Mind Sear has been nerfed to the ground in Cataclysm, AoE grinding is not an option for Shadow Priests. My single target DPS is like 150% of my Mind Sear DPS on a pack of 6-7 mobs.

Seems, I need to level up my tailor who happens to be a warlock and might therefore be better in AoE grinding anyway.
Packs of Converted Heroes currently seem to be the best target.

Commentaire de 691812

In Icecrown by the valley of heros seems to still be a decent spot. You can get decent sized groups of mobs with the converted heros. As a L74 fire mage I was able to deal with the groups fairly easily. In a little over a half hour I 10 stacks + 4 of frostweave cloth and some greens that de'd into 21 infinite dust and 4 greater cosmic essence.

Bonescythe Ravagers, by Avatar of Freys in Sholazar Basin, no longer award experience or loot so cloth is no longer available from them. Where do we find it now?

Commentaire de 754229

For those whos still interested in a good farming spot i have one 48,47 in Icecrown facing west southwest. Just stand still there and kill the Fallen Heroe´s spirit running past you. Its not worth running around chasing them and i feldt it was much easier killing them when i had my back against them. They are yellow so they dont attack if you dont do it first. And thats even better if yoy cant handle lots of mobs at the same time.
Im 82 now and got about 100 Frostweave Cloth per hour. No problems what so ever.
GL!

Commentaire de 469774

The ghosts at Thunderfall in Storm Peaks seem to have a pretty decent drop rate and respawn time.

Commentaire de 773525

FYI the spot @ 48,47 in Icecrown for a non-tailor absolutely sucks for drop rate, I didnt spend a LOT of time there but after dropping 50-75 mobs I only had a couple of cloth.

the spot in Gundrak posted by surloin was better, about a 20% drop rate after 40 kills, again with a non-tailor farmer.

I'll post again after testing in sholazar

Commentaire de 776092

I recently decided to pick up tailoring on my main (since I neglected professions while leveling), and I found that the best place for me to farm Frostweave is at Sholazar Basin near the Suntouched Pillar. The Venture Co. mobs dropped a lot of Frostweave for me, and they have a good respawn rate as well. ( Do note that I also have Northern Cloth Scavenging, so that helps a lot as well).

Commentaire de Berrenger

I averaged 250 cloth (50 bolts) per hour farming the Fallen Hero's Spirits in Icecrown. I was standing at 47.3,47.7 just letting them run towards me, but my word it was boring! Lvl 85 fury warrior with Northrend Cloth Scavenging.

Commentaire de T87smith

As a warlock (though I would imagine it would work well with anyone who has an AOE) I grabbed my Felguard and my spells and headed out to Icecrown.

In the area Northwest of Ymirhiem there are packs of converted heros (looks like 6-8 in a group) that as an 84 warlock I easier could take out with my Rain of Fire and my felguard's Felstorm.

I swooped in on my flying carpet and dropped in the middle of the group to make sure to aggro them all then just AOEed them to death. In a hour of non hardcore farming I got 6 and half stacks of frostweave.

The converted heroes are the best for farming these in 4.0

Commentaire de 752459

In Icecrown I killed Converted Heroes that are tightly packed together. About 3 hours at level 82 with Shadow priest, yielded 78 bolts of Frostweave. Not bad for power leveling. Mind seared everything to oblivion.
Also got about 100 gold worth of grey stuff to vendor.

Commentaire de 736163

Best place I found Frostweave by far was Icecrown Cords 44.8, 54.4 crowds of Converted Hero. AOE'd them with my mage got stacks in no time.

Commentaire de huldu

The converted heroes are probably among the better mobs to farm for cloth. There are a few other camps that of course net more cash, the heroes have a reduced monetary drop compared to other northrend mobs.

My "ideal" farming spots include this: It must be done by a class "naked". What i mean by naked is that you have no gear that can take a durability hit and wearing heirlooms, while still maintaining a decent kill rate. My rogue, 85, can easily do the converted heroes "naked". The mortal strike is mostly just annoying, but no big deal. I pick of a loner near a cluster of mob and start up a 31 sec recuperate, then i stealth in and just spam FoK. I am assassination spec. The mobs generally all die within 20 sec. Doing a pull like this with your 85 gear will give you a nice repair bill. Yeah, hehe... i guess i am that cheap!

It isnt that fun to do if you dont have the tailoring northrend cloth thing, but it works pretty well.

Any other classes that can do these "naked"(heirlooms+trinkets etc)?

Commentaire de NavySWO91

Here's my stats on Converted Heroes...

As a level 80 Shadow Priest wearing Cataclysm greens giving me 2495 int, 6.5% hit, 29.26%crit, and 41K mana, I tracked 5 30-min sessions.

I ended up averaging, for a 30 min period, 5.5 stacks of Frostweave and 17G. On my server, the Frostweave stacks sold for 30G each. The 17G is straight loot, not including vendor trash. Of the vendor junk, I think it worthy to mention that I averaged a stack of Thick Fur Scraps (a stack vendors for 10G).

My method was to create an conveyor line for each group, pulling an individual with DP from near max range, mind-flaying as he ran to me and then pulling the next guy with DP. The first guy basically dies at my feet with 2nd running toward me. Rinse and repeat. As level 80 (I turned off XP to determine if I can use the toon as a money maker on WotLK content while wearing Cata gear), I found Mind Sear wasn't the best. I ended up needing to drink every 8min or so. I used Sparkling Oasis Water to minimize the drinking time.

Commentaire de 574771

Because i'm greedy and dont want to pay 40g/stack for frostweave cloth, i started searching for a farm place of my own.
What i prefer is at the icecrown Glacier where the converted heroes walk around i groups of 6-7. Since i also have Northern cloth scavaging, im able to farm alot.

Commentaire de 804840

The best place I have found to farm this since cata came out is in Gjalerbron. It is in the northern area of Howling Fjord. I found it while upping my archaeology. I got about 3 stacks in 45 minutes, along with money from loot, greys anda few greens.

Commentaire de sivla

hate to point out , that blizz have now removed all drops from the mobs in the basin, you know where the giant is overlooking the water?
This place was the only reliable place to get a ton of frostweave...

Commentaire de 806483

I farmed the Converted Heroes as mention above for 1 hour and got 5 cloth. Either you people are nuts or they changed the drop rate.

Commentaire de 806483

In gjalerbron now, 1 piece in about 25 kills. I'm sure I'm not the one who's crazy. There is just no frostweave anywhere.

Commentaire de 398002

For those who are raising the skill level of a tailor you are going to need something like 1400 frostweave. That's 70 stacks. This will allow you to make enough bolts to level from 350 to 425 using only orange recipes. If you farm it all at the best rates I see above, 5.5 stacks in 30 minutes, it means 12.7 hours of farming. And it is unclear if you must have the Northrend Scavenging skill to achieve this. (I'm betting you do.) If the cloth drops at the much lower rates posted here, it's not worth the time at all.

I was able to farm up mageweave and netherweave at rates of 5-6 stacks in 20 minutes, and not nearly so much of those types was needed. I can't help but think that the new drop rate on frostweave is a horrible mistake. Even if you can afford to pay 50g per stack, there is not enough frostweave in the AH to buy all you will need. And have you noticed that frostweave bags are very rare now? I know that we will all manage to get through this, but it seems an unnecessary hardship from my point of view.

I just spent 10 minutes farming heroes as a test. 21 frostweave without northrend scavenging. That works out at about 6 stacks an hour. So, while this is not a worst case as I feared it does mean half a day of farming to get the full 70 stacks.

Commentaire de lonewarrior

This goes out to all the leveling tailors out there with Northrend scavenging. I can't hazard a guess as to what the drop rate would be for those without it. But the place I've been farming that I've kept to myself until I no longer needed Frostweave in fear of botting and exploiting to the point of Blizz nerfing the drops is the Isle Onslaught Harbor off of Ice Crown. This place is a frostweave cloth Bonanza. Depending on your kill rate(I'm mostly level 81 cata gear)...6-7 stack in an hour is easy. The NPC's respawn constantly. Good luck.

Commentaire de 812808

I had a lovely date with the converted heroes last night. I was there for 3 hours (with the occasional break) and ended up with a total of 422 frostweave cloth (I do have scavenging), no greens, but with the money from the mobs and the junk that I sold I also made just about 200 gold. I don't think it was a wasted trip :)

Commentaire de Phainein

Is the drop rate from fallen heroes/converted heroes really that much better than the cultists at Deathspeaker's Watch? That's where I've been farming it. I do get greens from time to time there as well.

4-18-11: 8 pieces of cloth, one per kill, off 44 kills on cultists inside Aldur-thur - Desolation Gate building in Icecrown. Limited sample but it shows Blizzard went overboard on the cloth drop nerf, as they usually do. Used to be able to get at least a stack (i.e., 20 pieces cloth) off those 44 kills in this location.

Edit: Character used was an 81 hunter, so was sending pet at mobs in groups of 1-3. Hunters really do not have an AoE anymore, since they took away Volley.

Commentaire de Sithari

Just to put things into perspective for all the people reading the "low drop chance" comments and wondering how they play out in the long run:

Tailoring frostweave skill up requires roughly 1400-1500 frostweave cloth.

I arrived at Northrend at lvl 68 on my mage. First thing I did was pick up Northrend Cloth Scavenging to take full advantage of it. No heirloom XP boosts apart from the 10% guild perk.

I quested all the way to lvl 76, emphasizing on quests that threw me against mainly humanoid mobs to max out my random frostweave cloth drops.

After that, still at lvl 76, seeing that I wasn't gonna meet the required cloth by the time I hit lvl 80 and move out of Northrend, I stopped questing and started farming mobs. Specifically, the Frenzyheart Spearbearer and Scavengers at Spearborn encampment, in the NW area of Sholazar Basin.

I ended up with the needed cloth 3 XP BARS away from lvl 80.

I hope that paints a picture to all the inquirers. Blizzard indeed has crippled the drop rate. I highly suggest to anyone interested in lvling tailoring to wait till lvl 85 and backtrack to Northrend for the farming, and I hope the fast kill rate will compensate for the abysmal drop rate and not drive you insane.

Edit: as far as the 1-4 quantity range goes, roughly 80+% of that is a single cloth and the rest is divided evenly between 2,3,4 cloth per mob.

Commentaire de moovie

I guess I must be lucky or I am the only one telling the truth here.
I went to Ice Crown, Valley of fallen heroes to farm frostweave cloth.. on the way from Org I passed thru sholazar basin and stoped at the lost lands to first farm the book 'northrend scavanger', I got it on the second kill. I farmed ice crown for 1 hour and 50 mins and got 33 stacks. I don't kbow why or how the other people are saying they got 6 stacks an hour? I am a lvl 85 holy priest and all I did was aoe the groups and killed the singles as I ran to the next group.
I had to leave or I could have got all I needed to lvl my tailoring in just a couple of more hours. Frostweave on my server is going for 75 to 100g a stack which I wont pay but farming isn't too bad like other want you to believe. hope this helps

Commentaire de 806483

Does anyone know if the drop rate differs from server to server? Just wondering if Blizzard does this to throw us off, and make it just that much more challenging. My suspicions are because the converted heroes spot in Icecrown that people seem to be raving about is just incredibly low on my server, so it must differ depending on the server. Anyway ... I found a good spot in Sholozar Basin at the Frenzyheart encampment in the northwest, but still 12 stacks an hour is about my best so far. I have the Northrend cloth perk, so even with that. The drop rate isn't as terrible in this spot, but still far less than the other mats, even Embersilk is dropping a lot more than FW. Off topic, fewer mining nodes as well in Northrend, and don't even get me started on the available nodes in Twilight Higlands lol.

Commentaire de 822911

For those that want to farm Frostwave cloth i recommend Savage Ledge in Icecrown. (37.43, 23.56)

Desent droprate but the respawn time is insane, i was standing in the middle as warlock. Casting corruption on them, they jump into middle and die in a big pile, the give 0-4 frostweave, greens, pots and money.

Sadly i cant say how many per hour since i dident keep track of time. Was kinda hard to get time over to loot tho ^^

Just kill the mobs of Converted Heroes all over the area. Once you wiped them all out run back and start over. I was getting 3-4 cloth per kill in some mobs.

Commentaire de cottog8444

Lol, I think the best spot Post-Cata may very well be the area in Zul'Drak where Chulo the Mad and the other two troll chieftans have to be killed. I killed like 50 mobs waiting for these guys to spawn and was astounded by the cloth to be had there. Don't remember how much exactly was looted there, but I was consistently getting 4 per mob.

Commentaire de 827370

I tried the area with the converted heroes and it seemed like an awful lot of work as far as the number of mobs versus the amount of frostweave cloth you actually received. I wandered over to Death's Hand Encampment in Sholazar Basin and had alot better luck. It's a small area, mostly single mobs, rarely more than two at a time, and the respawn rate was fantastic. The humanoids didn't drop cloth every time, but usually at least every 2nd or 3rd time and often it would be 3 to 5 pieces at a time. I just circled around and around the camp over and over. The respawn rate was that good even for a level 83 hunter like me. The mobs are lvl 76-77. They also drop fur cloth scraps and thick fur cloth scraps which earn 2g - 10g per stack respectively as vendor trash.

Commentaire de harriaal

Tried the Chulo the Mad location and they do drop cloth 3/5 times, but not 4. 95% of the time its 1 and if you get lucky 3.

I submit another spot for farming this pesky cloth: Sindragosa's Fall (Icecrown, just south of the Argent Tournament Grounds). Although at level 82 I was able to 1 or 2 shot about everything there, making the loop, including clearing out those in the pit, was enough time for a full respawn.

In 30 minutes I received 128 pieces of cloth. Also received 24g in vendor trash, some herbs and 5 greens. For the record, I do have Northrend Cloth Scavenging.

A little unorthodox, but I get this from Naxx trash, me and a friend 2 man it every week because we both enjoy the raid and it's good for making gold, a lot of this stuff drops off the trash in there, especially in the outer ring.

Figured it was worth mentioning if you farm that place for anything in general (In my case, Gold + Cloth + BoE).

Commentaire de alelb22

I know a better place. Try to go to 47.3 47.7 on Icecrown.. The Esprit de héros défunt are making a run to that spot, so, if you stand there, they will literally go to face their second death. If you manage to kill them where you are, the loot will be under your foots, so... you will not need to move to pick the loot.
Hope this help! At least, this worked for me (Affly Warlock)

This reminds me the "Tower defence" games...

Commentaire de Penny29

I have tried the fallen heroes but I did not find a good spot where they would run to.

One thing I have done is farm the halls of lightning with my level 85 warri. It was fairly easy, and one run usually yields 3-4 stacks. This is only for high level alts, not for real leveling.

EDIT:

After having checked out the spot again and farming for an hour, I got 4 stacks of Frostweave. I conclude that WITHOUT Frostweave scrounging, an instance is still the best place to go.

Commentaire de MustDie1

I just wanted to give a major props for this spot. In an hour as an 85 arcane mage just spamming AE I got 16 stacks, 9 greens, and 18 grays. Not sure about the g.

You literally don't even have to move. I uploaded a ss of the spot on the map with the mobs running to me.

Oh, this was in response to alelb22's spot with the fallen spirits.

Commentaire de akaiseirei

I dont know what you people dont understand about this... IF youre a tailor and have read the book you are going to have success in farming this because you have an increased chance to recieve the loot from ANY humanoid in northrend. However, if you have not learned the extra cloth gathering skill (available via the book nowdays) then you are gonna be hard pressed to "farm" frostweave, just go kill mobs and take what you can get. So for all you naysayers out there posting replys saying "this spot sucks" or "i cant get cloth QQ" , go to the spots on a tailor with the skill and you wont have any issues.

Commentaire de 835888

Commentaire de 836461

Leveled up a new mage and read all the post. My 3rd group of Fallen Hero's Spirit I got lucky and got a book. After reading it I counted how many I got in 30 mins. End count was 254. 500 cloth an hour. So in about 3 hours you could knock out all the cloth you need to get to Cata level Tailoring.

After that I tried all the other spots on this thread and even tried soloing instances on my DK.. Nothing else came even close to Fallen Hero's Spirits.

Commentaire de 148546

What I found by far most lucrative and cloth-yelding was the Onslaught Harbour (The islands west of Icecrown), with most mobs dropping 2-4 cloth. I'm an 85 boomkin in restogear, and for those of you not above 80, this spot might not be so good, due to the risk of massive pulls.

My tactic was to first pull the mobs on the staircase of the monastery and then run in the entrance and using LoS getting them all in a neat bunch, then you just take whatever AoE you have available (Wild Mushrooms in my case) and blast away. Then I went in further into the church and pulled the two big groups in there, (same procedure, LoS + AoE).

After having emptied the monastery I went to the westernmost part of the northern island where the mobs are a bit more spread out. There i just DoT:ed and ran, killing all of them and then looting. When this island was empty I went towards the cave on the southern end of the island, where there are three large groups just outside. I aggroed all three and and used LoS again, this time using the cavern walls, and then blasted them down.

When I had done these three places the ones in front of the monastery had respawned, so basically I just went in a circle between these three spots and that yielded me 15 stacks of Frostweave and a gazzillion of greens in less than an hour. Hope this helps :)

Commentaire de turkesh

I have been farming the rare spawns in Northrend during off hours (4-5 AM server time.) They all drop a satchel that contains a full stack of 20 frostweave, a blue item, and15-20 gold per. With Northrend mostly abandoned these days I usually get 8-10 stacks for the 45 minutes or so it takes to check them all using npcscan add-on. I find this method much less labor intensive with a comparable yield of cloth and gold per hour. It is also a good way to finish off the Frostbitten achievement. If you don't have a hunter be sure to add the tamable spirit beasts to npcscan as they are not loaded for non hunters by default but they also drop the satchel.

Commentaire de Eximius

So it's 4.2, things have been changed in regards to drop potency and i'm here to post my 2 cents.

I spent 20 minutes farming Fallen Hero's Spirit in Icecrown as a level 85 Frost Mage and gained 175 Frostweave. It works out at a touch under 1 cloth per 7 seconds which is reasonable as it's extremely easy and downtime is non-existent.

So if, like myself, you've come here for a straight forward answer as to where is a good place to farm for a little while, I recommend farming Fallen Hero's Spirit in Icecrown .

EDIT: Naturally I was a Tailor with Northern Cloth Scavenging when I accumilated this information so comparing my data with yours when you are not also a Tailor with this benefit is bound to show disparity in figures.

Also there is mention of the adds aren't easy to AoE, I disagree. They roam in packs of 5-10 and if you use an AoE ability such as, Rain of Fire or Blizzard, you can tag two packs and AoE them down together, making large piles of sparkly bodies.

found an awsome place to farm frost weave for tailors just spent an hour and got over 9 stacks of frostweave killing converted heros in icecrown you can kill them individualy or aoe the packs of 7.

Found a great spot to farm. I got 15 stacks in 40 min. The Cathedral of Darkness in Ice Crown. About 50 mobs that you can pull at the same time. Farmed on a non-tailor prot warrior. I dont see this really working unless your are a plate/tank class though due to high damage at the start of the pull. Cords:44.3, 77.7

P.S. just enough time between pulls and looting to hop on my mamoth and sell the few junk items i picked up. high uptime.

Commentaire de LSBeene

I am leveling up my Frost/Arcane Mage (level 80-82 during this) : I went to Ice Crown as suggested. The Converted Mobs there are dropping TONS of frostweave.

For Frost mages (my rotation): I use mage armor - but ice or molten work, though you'll need to mana up more often.

I activate ice shield, manashield, & mage ward (on macro), then use Water Elementals Freeze ring to "get their attention" (won't freeze them in place), then activate my Blizzard/Ice Storm - with lower gear, you'll need it twice. They die and you collect the frostweave. Rinse and repeat.

Hope that helps.

Commentaire de junoo

The best place for me was in behind the Onslaught Harbor's building. There's a cave with a couple of 80 elites, 20k hps so not they're not that hard. Since they're elites, they drop greens more often and ofc you can get up to 7 clothes per mob. There's 15 mobs in the cave, but the spawn timer is quite short.

Best place to farm this I've found to be while on the quest "Basic Chemistry". Since this quest is now solo-able you can do it as many times you want (even after the quest is completed - You'll have to keep it in your questlog though as you need the Spinal Fluid).
The reason for this is the chance of having "Living Plague"s spawn, which are small slimes with around 13k health.
These slimes drop between 1-4 cloths and often drop greens as well + the random greys.
In 20 mins i managed to farm 6 stacks and got around 10 greens to DE!

Commentaire de Kiputytto

I don't understand why so many people claim that the Héros converti's are the best to farm this cloth. Sure they are seven to a group but the drop rate is awful. After searching through all the comments claiming that these are the best I came upon Kaindas' post about Death's Hand Encampment in Sholazar Basin and that did the trick. Sectateur infiltré's only have a 41% drop rate for 1-4 cloth but with Récupération de tissu you have a very high chance to get at least one cloth. Believe me you almost always get one cloth. On the rare occasion their drop rate kicks in you can get up to 5 cloth. I (being a shadow priest) run around one side and toss up Mot de l’ombre : Douleur while tabbing to the next target to do it again. By the time I have them gathered they are all dead, I loot and move to the next side of it. I normally stop by the middle section where the alter is at surrounded by three mobs because I've had trouble with them resetting. They don't respawn slowly but they respawn sporadically and after a full run through the camp you'll only be able to get 1-3 mobs at a time.

Farming these guys and gals is heavily dependant on having Récupération de tissu.

Commentaire de 877015

I stumbled the Hidden Hollow in icecrown and was mildly impressed with the drop rate. Not sure anyone else finds this good or not....

It is a cave behind the chapel at onslaught harbor. There are packs of elite casters inside with low HP and 3 packs or regulars outside the entrance.

Spawn rates are pretty good and the cloth and cash loot is pretty decent.

Some elites drop 4-8 cloth and up to 1g coin each.

After 30 mins (timed), I got the following:

126 cloth
70g on coin
60g more after vendoring all drops

Note, I have 'Northern Cloth Scavenging' so not sure how much that boost the cloth rate....

The very best place i found for farming Frostweave as a tailor is in Icecrown. In the Valley of the Fallen Heroes, round about coords 48,45. It is a narrow path, the mob u are looking for is "Fallen Hero Spirit". They are neutral, not much health, and for tailors with scavenging drop 2-5 cloths! Just dont go farming there on my server ;P

ok can anyone explain why 7 days ago the WOW players above had such great luck with farming this item killing Fallen Hero Spirits and now today @1:21 server time I'm getting nothing.

My 81 prot pally is not a tailor but farms for one of my alts. She went to the Conflagration area Icecrown of Icecrown and wiped out the Converted Hero's swarm after swarm. The reward was VERY LITTLE. Maybe it's because she is not a tailor. A MUCH better area for Frostweave for at least non-tailors is in Zul Drak just north of the Zim Torga camp. It's to the right of the big stairs. There are lots of trols on flying bats in a sunken courtyard that wraps around a templ on three sides. One circuit around gets you three stacks. Respawn time is quick.

I can confirm that the Héros converti are a fantastic source of Étoffe de tisse-givre.

About the drop rate: it does tend to be sporadic, but as with all farming, it's about the average over time. This is the fourth hour-long run I've done here with similar results. The important thing is to not be discouraged by initially low drop rates and keep plugging away.

These guys are elite lvl 80's 37.8K health each and one taunt pulls almost an entire side 20 mobs+ so bring your CC, and AOE . I just have a crap DPS set my gear lvl is 358. I survived the pulls with cooldowns etc.. no problem. Very fast respawn rate.

Commentaire de 884217

I believe the drop rate from these mobs has been lowered with the 3.0.8 patch.

Commentaire de somnomania

Not sure why everyone's praising certain mobs + Northern Cloth Scavenging; maybe it USED to give extra cloth off regular Northrend mobs, but if you check the comments on it now (and see for yourself in the game), it only applies to dungeon mobs, I believe only while you're grouped. I just got all the way to Icecrown on my tailor without experiencing it, and then did a dungeon and had it work with several mobs that had already been looted by group members.

REGARDLESS, I was farming for more frostweave for her, and tried the suggested area around Aldur'thar. It was good, but not great, and then I spotted big clusters of mobs inside the building there. Went in: tons of cultists with a super fast respawn rate. By the time I cleared both sides of the room, the first side I cleared was mostly respawned. I got three and a half stacks in about twenty minutes.

Commentaire de Wyspe

As a priest Mind Sear sis the easiest way. As an 85 it takes me a couple minutes for one round around the conflagation area. I get about 3 stacks easily.

Commentaire de 139666

In this current patch release, I tried 2 instances, both with little luck, and a few mobs. The converted heroes seem to be the best, with probably an average of 3 per group. For a geared 85, a group can be dropped in 8 seconds. There's plenty of groups. I recommend flying into a group, aggroing all, and aoe.

Commentaire de starman

I'm going to have to agree that Converted Heroes are the best. I tried the Cultist Infiltrators and got only 1 drop per every 3-4 mobs with Northrend Scavenging. With the Converted Heroes I was getting at least one cloth almost every mob - a much better return.

I also tried instances. Terrible drop rate.

Commentaire de 898333

A nice place to farm frostweave cloth is in heroic lvl 80 instances, if you can solo it of course.

Commentaire de 816186

Waste no more time! At lvl 85 Onslaught Harbor on the west coast of Icecrown is clearly the superior spot. Go check it out!

Commentaire de 901467

For a lvl 77 lock Swindle grins Dig in Sholazar is a nice place. The mobs drop cloth about 75% of the time, and the amount varies from 1-6 pieces at a time.

Commentaire de 933593

I found the Chained Abominations in The Fleshwerks to be good farming material. No matter how fast you kill them, there always seem to be at least 2 around, sometimes spawning over the last one before it hits the ground. I played as a level 80 Frost Mage with Northern Cloth Scavenging, and the rate is about 9 stacks per hour.

Commentaire de 934877

My lvl 85 Frost DK soloed Violet Hold Heroic and picked up a stack in the ~15 minutes it took.

Commentaire de Komari

I'm leveling up my tailoring and tried all the methods suggested below. I can confirm that, for me, in 4.3 the Converted Heroes route was far and away the best. I mindlessly grinded away during a playoff football game (so figure 3 hours, 3 1/2...in that range) and came away with 1,065 pieces of frostweave cloth. (That's with one run to Dalaran to do some tailoring leveling and sell grays and some small breaks for food, etc). So I would definitely recommend that to any aspiring tailors out there who need to grind cloth.

As a side note, I noticed you can actually make some nice pocket change while you're cloth grinding. Save any grey's that are worth more than 1g and the Morceaux de vêtements de fourrure épaisse that fall. Between the mob drops and selling this, I made probably about 350g total just in extra. If you're leveling tailoring, the extra cash can actually pay for the spells you need to learn, so bonus win for you. :)

Commentaire de 934260

For farming, I have to recommend the Savage Ledge just west of the Shadow Vault in Icecrown. There are several pairs of Mjordin Combatants fighting here. They're easy to kill. They respawn quickly. They even charge right over to you, so you can stand in the middle and make them come to you - making looting that much easier. Their drop rate wasn't bad - not as good as other areas - but the ease of farming here makes it worth it. I farmed 2 stacks of frostweave cloth here in less than an hour - probably more like a 1/2 hour. Next time, I will time it.

It is worth mentioning that I'm a tailor with the extra-cloth-finding skill. So normal folks might find this area a weak farming spot, since they don't get the extras.

Farming (85)

Location
South East of Jotunheim on the big blue open area of the map in Icecrown

Target
Converted Hero

Drop Rate
Roughly 1 bolt per group (5 cloth)

I tried all the suggestions in the above comments and this was the quickest way to farm up 1400 cloth for my Tailoring grind. Took me a few hours and I was done, and you never run out of spawns. One blast from any AoE took the whole group down, but they aren't linked so you need to make sure you hit them all.

Commentaire de Reapernub

I just farmed the Converted Heroes for about 30mins and got 220 Frostweave Cloth. I did it with a Rogue with Epic Flying and the Northrend Cloth thingy. Most I ended up getting in one group was 11 cloth, least being 0. Its pretty quick, just dismount in air and stealth, and spam fan of knives with poisons on your weapons of course. I got bored though, which is why I stopped, lol.

Commentaire de Voix

Level 85 Fire Mage, around 8000 SP.

I found that the converted heroes in Icecrown are actually a fantastic spot. Much mobs around, relative low health and not much interference from any quest mobs / elites. (Not that it would matter much though).

Together with Récupération de tissu they are a reliable and quick (400 cloth/hour on average, though it may vary on the rate which you kill packs in) source of cloth.

What I did was bind my flying mount to a convenient button for quick access to your mount, this is key to my method. You will spend most time flying and mounting up, so with an epic flyer that is conveniently bound it will increase your gather rate quite a bit.

I would fly from pack to pack, doing the following:

As a Fire mage, make sure you have:

Souffle du dragon

What my "rotation" was would be the following:

Mount up and land near a pack
Cast just infront of the pack, but making sure to hit EVERY mob.
When they are attacking you, cast Cône de froid
Cast Souffle du dragon for more damage!
They should already be quite low at this point, due to the , Choc de flammes and Cône de froid
If you still have remaining mobs you can either Brûlure or them to finish them off.

This worked great for me in killing the packs quickly and effeciently, they will all die near you for fast looting.

For reduced downtime there a couple of glyphs that you could use:

Glyphe carbonisé for a shorter cooldown on Dragon's Breath what will do quite a bit of your damage.
Then make sure you get your hands on Glyphe carbonisé for reduced downtime.
Glyphe carbonisé can also be used but is not mandatory. You can use this to heal yourself IF you are getting hit too much.

For other classes this could be a great method aswell, but I'm not too sure on that because the Fire mage has 3 key spells to their advantage for high damage that is not limited by cooldowns much.

Frost doesn't really work too good for this. You lack the AoE damage and there is no real need for http://www.wowhead.com/spell=11426.

Hope this helped you!

Commentaire de Daaze

My favorite, albeit probably overlooked, farming spot for Frostweave has become the Cathedral of Darkness in Icecrown Citadel. Farming on Protection Warrior Tailor (377 iLevel, Northrend Cloth Scavenging), the groups are incredibly easy to kill, and each pull has 20-24 mobs. I'm not sure about phasing, but I think it is unaffected by it (although my toon is 63/140 quests in Icecrown). The Cathedral is at 44, 78 on the map (the same place you go to meet Tirion during the Matthias Lehner quest chain). I was averaging about a stack of cloth every 2 minutes. By the time you kill and loot one side of the cathedral, the other side has respawned. So, there's constant killing, and a lot of cloth, with easy to kill mobs. I tried others but ended up going here and it turned out quite nicely. 12 stacks of cloth in about 25 minutes for those wondering.

Commentaire de 943087

In addition to Onslaught Harbor, the farming is good in Ulrang's Hall in Icecrown, coords for entrance 39,24. The mobs may be slightly easier than those at the harbor. Best of luck!

Commentaire de Zuljinn

82 shadow Priest here, leveled a bit too quickly and didn't level my Tailoring high enough for Cata cloth. I read through the comments and checked out a few places, finally found my new favorite. Icecrown, Icecrown Glacier, in the valley where the groups of Fallen/Converted Heroes walk around in groups. I can easily solo one group, plus the Banner-Bearer and a few scragglers on the side, with ease. Once again, only level 82, no need to be 85. Also I have no dungeon or BoA gear, just gear from quests. I've been here for almost 20 minutes and I've gotten 5 stacks of Netherweave Cloth, as well as two BoE greens. Hope you guys have as much luck as i'm having!

Commentaire de 235370

I'm currently farming 1060 Étoffe de tisse-givre as a Lvl 85 Firemage with iLvl 380 to go from Tailoring 350 to 425 and while I haven't tested every suggested spot I can highly recommend the Héros converti's in the area of Icecrown Glacier as after a few hours I'm already sitting at ~36 Stacks of the required 53.

The Area is always filled with Respawn which is quickly killed using a , Choc de flammes & Souffle du dragon Combo.
Looting the 7 Corpses will give enough time for CD's like Flux de l’incantateur to refresh before each pull which in combination with will turn you into a Duracell = Keeps you running and running and running...

Commentaire de VindicoSolus

As a level 85 Protection Warrior (non-tailor in a level 1 guild), I spent 15 minutes farming Esprit de héros défunt in Icecrown and got 38 Étoffe de tisse-givre. Ranged DPS would most likely be able to farm quite a bit more in this time frame.

The technique I used is as follows:

Convertisseur du Fléau use Poigne du Fléau on Esprit de héros défunt whom then flee to the Southwest. I start at that choke point and grab 3 or so that are trying to run pass me. As I move North/Northeast, I grab the Esprit de héros défunt that have not been inflicted with Poigne du Fléau along with those trying to run past me. Iend up grabbing anywhere from 1 to 8, most of which do not drop any cloth since I am not a tailor. For those of you that are tailors level 400+ (50% increase to cloth drops when tailoring is 400+), you will get quite a bit of cloth in a very short amount of time.

After a second 15 minute run (this run took place 2 hours after the first run), I was only able to get 30 Étoffe de tisse-givre. However, in each 15 minute run I managed to get a cooking recipe. They are as follows:

First 15 minute run awarded me with Recette : Délicieux petit four.
Second 15 minute run awarded me with Recette : Palourdes avariées.

NOTE: I have not done any quests in this zone. If you have done quests in this zone, your phasing will be different from mine which will cause your drop rates to decline.

Edit: Fixed typo and added second run stats.

Trying to farm for my tailoring toon. Read that Fallen Hero's Spirit was best normal non dung drop. averaging Pulled 7 drops per 21 kills, or essentially one drop per 3 kills. A lot of these areas that aren't run that often anymore seem to have their item drop rates adjusted, making you work harder. Still a decent enough DR to make it a great place to farm frostweave cloth.

Commentaire de 892035

Confirming; converted heroes is a good place to farm these if you're a high enough level. Got 320 (or 20 stacks) in an hour. Not so may greens (only 3).. but hey thats not why you do this.

And the orther NPC's have good frostweave as well...

Commentaire de 851797

Ok all prior posts are OLD NEWS! Here is some current news from this decade. After farming all over Northrend I have found that it is not really about the drop rate (as all spots are pretty poor) but it's more about the quantity of mobs that you can round up and kill at one time.

As a lvl 85 Tank with only a 370 iLvL and I can burn down anything in Northrend in mass numbers while facerolling the keyboard. The best spot for mass numbers goes first to the Héros converti area as they travel in groups and the groups are quite close together. All have a pretty poor drop rate. Like 10 mobs gets around 1-4 cloth. I am a Miner/BS so no cloth drop boost except guild perk.

Onslaught Harbor is about the same drop rate as far as I could see and the mobs are spread out except for in the cathedral. The Cathedral is the only place worth farming due to the mass numbers. I pull the whole Cath in two pulls. Land and ride through and aggro every mob on the outside steps. Ride up through the doors to the Cath and LoS the mobs to just inside the doorway and burn um down. Then run through in to the inner area and run through the mobs inside and use the pillars inside to bring all the mobs to within melee range. The only problem with this is that it takes no more than a minute to kill the entire Cath. Then you have to wait for the entire thing to respawn.

Long story short just stick to the Converted Hero's as there are MANY more of them in a much larger area.

Commentaire de 971373

I stumbled upon Coldrock Quarry right outside the main landing in Borean and that is the best place I have found so far. After running it 3 times (the NPC's res really fast due to questing objectives) I had 4 stacks plus 2-3G and other trash items. Most of the time they drop 2-3 pieces each and every once and a while you'll find a drop of 4 pieces :)

Commentaire de 105897

I do not really get it. I have tried farming converted heroes on both my paladin and mage (both are non tailor) and in 20 minutes I got was (only) 1 full stack.

I have cleared at minimum of 10 groups of them and quite frequent not even one mob within 1 group dropped any cloth.

If you're L85, the best spawn point ever would be the Savage Ledge in Icecrown. Fast spawn rates, easy kills and drop ain't too shabby, even if you ain't a tailor.

Commentaire de 983194

I found the best place to farm is in the middle of Icecrown on the right of The Fleshworks and the Left of Ymirheim. Over there, there are mobs of Converted Heroes, their are usually 6-9 at a time. Every mob is a guranteed 3-15 Frostweave.
In 30 Minutes farming I got
x262 Frostweave Cloth and almost 150g worth of trash.

Commentaire de 941372

At level 85 I'd be more inclined to recommend the Cathedral of Darkness as a much better farming spot. Both sides of the cathedral have large groups of elite Chosen Zealot which you can pull and aoe down. By the time you finish looting one side, the other has respawned

But, beware, when u aggro one group, the rest on that side come after you also. so have some food/drinks ready after you kill one side before you take on the other.

Commentaire de Anamorte

I'm leveling up a tailor/enchanter at 85. I found that every single elite undead at the Bombardment in Icecrown (around 60,40) nearly always drop at least one Frostweave if not more with Récupération de tissu. They also drop the occasional green or blue which comes in handy for leveling the enchanting.

There's usually at least 4-7 Tranchechair enragé & Fantassin squelettique around each Brute raccommodée and they go down pretty easily for a reasonably geared 85.

YMMV but it seems to be working good for me.

Commentaire de 290685

Best place I have found to farm is just east of Ymirheim in Icecrown. Just go around and AoE down the groups or 6-7 Converted Heros. With Northern Cloth Scavenging I managed to get 15 stacks in 45 minutes.

Commentaire de Guy19

If you're trying for Réserves, I suggest killing Northrend rares for a guaranteed Sacoche d'aventurier abandonnée, because they give 20 Étoffe de tisse-givre. These rares also give Exposition nord and progress towards Froid mordant. :)

To make rare hunting easy get these add-ons.

Commentaire de 999837

Best place to farm that I've found is the Converted Heros just west of Ymirheim in Icecrown from the argent tournament dailies. They all cluster together in groups of around 8 mobs, just run around to each group aoe a bit and on to the next, there's a ton of groups and they respawn very quick, by the time you make it around the area the first few groups should be spawned leaving a never ending flow of easy cloth. On average I got about 5-6 stacks in 15 minutes.

Commentaire de 964035

Spent the time and did Cathedral of Darkness with my 85 rogue. I used fan of knives with wound poison and could kill one side with some health to spare. The loot is okay, mostly fur, some low level gear, some potions, and about 5-10 frostweave per side. This is a nice farming spot because the respawn is so fast you don't have to go anywhere else.

Commentaire de 984689

I have noticed that Snowplain Kobolds, SE of Wyrmrest Temple in Dragonblight drop cloth pretty frequently. Usually 3 at a time, too. They are only 72-73, non-elite, and you don't have to go dungeon-diving to get at them... which is preferable to those of us who are not yet uber-85s.

Well a great place to get frostweave is in Icecrown, Fighting the Converted heros is very great! you fight alot of clustered enemies. Each one drops frostweave, the little ones usually drop just one but there is 6 so u get 6, the bigger ones drop 3-4 frostweave. There is plenty of enemies in this area, i think its great

Commentaire de Lovestar

As a level 85 Frost Mage in mediocre gear (mix of quest greens and 333 blues) with Récupération de tissu, I really like the Esprit de héros défunt approach to farming Frostweave.

I started at Cathedral of Darkness, and it does work. The cultists respawn incredibly fast. But it's annoying as Mage — the mobs are immune to both Snare and Root effects. It's totally doable, but it takes some attention and finesse — too much work for mindless farming, imo.

I also tried Héros converti, and wasn't satisfied here either. Again, it takes too much effort: you have to keep traveling from pack to pack, and then stop to loot everything. There's a noticeable start-stop-start rhythm which feels annoying.

I found Esprit de héros défunt to be the best approach. I do not think this is the highest possible Frostweave/minute rate. In order to achieve that, you would need to put the effort in to really burn/farm somewhere like the Cathedral. But that's not the point. Fallen Heroes are great if you're just really, really lazy about farming stuff.

Go here in Icecrown and set up your Chaise champignon (note: sittable fungus is optional). You will encounter a literally endless flow of neutral Fallen Heroes. Your only job is to put your pet on Assist and tag each Hero with an instant attack as it runs past you. Your pet will take care of the rest.

This is awesome, because you can easily work this in to multitasking lots of other stuff in the background, playing a simple minigame of tagging moving objects. Sometimes the mobs will slow down and stop coming for awhile — these lulls are great, because that is when you take a moment to loot your pile of ghost corpses. By the time you're done looting, a new flow willl be trickling in again.

You don't have to think, perform any fancy trix, do anything more complicated than press your 1 key (or whatever) — you don't even have to move. Someone earlier likened it to playing Tower Defense games. That's a pretty good analogy.

Again, if you want maximum Frostweave/minute rates, this is not the right place. If you want to accumulate a pretty respectable amount of Frostweave while chatting with friends, typing messages about farming Frostweave on Wowhead, watching TV, cooking dinner, doing homework, drinking heavily, and/or making out with the cute guy you picked up in your biochem class — Fallen Heroes are great!

Commentaire de 1019515

Personally i have tried farming many places listed here but as a leveling priest only in the 70s, I found that Icecrown Citadel entrance, where the huge elites spawn was the best. There are two sides that spawn individually, and each group has a lvl 82 elite followed by a bunch of gouls.I wait for the elite to run by and aoe the group of gouls. After the elite is killed by the ebon blade they run over and help you. Once the first group is dead (for me) I have just enough time to loot them and run to the other side to get the second group. After that there is about a 2 minute break until the other side spawns again so its fairly quick.
With one pull I get about 5 Frostweave, and some vendor items, with the occasional green. (Maybe its me, but this reaped more cloth than the other tactics i have tried). Hope this helps all you lvling tailors!

Commentaire de 798226

So far the best place I found is just to the west of the shadow vault in icecrown. It's the place where all the vrykul are dueling each other and there's a daily quest or two there as well. On my DK I just stand in the middle and keep deathgripping them to me, and they respawn pretty quick. In just a short time I can easily have several stacks of cloth and a few hundred gold in trash drops.

Commentaire de purplekathryn

I'm not finding the drop rate that great with the converted heroes.

One group I got 12 the next 2 I got 5 between. That was with my level 80 tailor. When I tried with my level 85 non tailor the 2 groups I went for dropped no frostweave at all.

Commentaire de KitsuneSenpai32

To put this part of getting through tailoring with the perk (northrend cloth scavenging) I leveled from 82 to 83 and almost to 84 doing this. Really blizz needs to fix this... while their at it a few of the northrend and outland professions could use a rework.

Commentaire de FlayOnDarkIron

I've found Pit of Saron on either normal or heroic to be a great source of Frostweave as of 5.0.4. Just clear the instance up to the cave (the mobs in the cave don't drop anything). After you kill Ick, 4 groups of mobs will spawn on the ramp leading up to the cave. The first two packs are worth killing, the second two are not. In the second two packs, only two out of five mobs have a loot table. If you want to save time, just clear the first two packs on the ramp then leave and reset. If you're doing it on heroic, just don't kill the Forgemaster or Ick. Clear the quarry, then leave and reset.

I do it on normal, usually, since my tailoring priest is an enchanter, and you can kill the first two bosses without losing the ability to reset the dungeon. If you kill bosses on heroic, you can't reset.

TL;DR:
Farm Pit of Saron
If normal: Clear the quarry; if you're an enchanter, kill first two bosses and first two packs on ramp.
If heroic: Clear the quarry, leave, reset.

Commentaire de 940315

I found a good place to farm Frostweave, in Icecrown at the Conflagration (Between The Fleshwerks and Ymirheim). You can kill the lines of Converted Heros, Scourge Banner-Bearer, Vargul Wanderer, and Ravaged Ghoul in groups and steal all their Frostweave :) Just be careful of the Skeletal Reavers, big Elite mobs that are obviously harder to kill and don't drop any loot.

Commentaire de Ozbert

Converted Heroes are still dropping plenty of Frostweave as of 03/09/12.

With Northern Cloth Scavenging, I was able to fill an 18 slot bag with about 20 minutes of swooping down with my 85 DK, smacking each 7-group with 3 Howling Blasts and hoovering up the loot.

Commentaire de wolframwow

On the onslaught harbor is the best spot for farming. TIP:go on the stairs from the cathedral and clear everything, the go south from the island where a cave is and do the same. Repeat this because on the stairs are many humanoids, and in the cave and at the cave entrance are groups of 4-5 humanoids. You can get a lot of them!

Commentaire de Racthoh

as a tailor, farming cathedral of darkness

mobs spawn every 2.5 to 3 minutes, pull both groups at the same time

combined drop almost exactly 5 bolts of frostweave every time, or 25 cloth

so 100 bolts per hour if you are vigilant

the thing about farming this place is you can remain relatively stationary and alt tab for a few minutes at a time and post wowhead comments etc ;)

Really, go to Icecrown at 41.51 and nuke the packs of Converted Hero
--> As Elemental shaman (lvl 87) with average blue gears and 12k SP, i managed to farm 301 Frostweave Cloth's in just 30min by spamming Chain Lightning on everything.. Don't pull more than 1 pack, as they will simply just slow your movement speed to super slowmotion.. Nuke 1 pack at a time, fast and smooth, loot, next pack..

I also found 8 greens, 2 Book of Glyph Mastery and sold greys and #$%^ for 92g & 51s. (1g and 62s repair).

Have fun farming! This is the ultimate place to farm, you NEVER run out of these adds, unless your server is super overpopulated with farmers.. We were me, a paladin and a warlock farming at this place at the same time, I barely met them, and I had something to kill ALL THE TIME.

Commentaire de Marmotteuh

Had to farm for a bit to level my tailoring, didn't like the places suggested here 'cause i'm a lazy bast***:
- The cathedral was a pain as a 85 warlock, was taking too much damage and required too much attention for a long farm.
- Onslaught harbor mobs are spread all over the place, too much walking for lazy me.
- Converted heroes the same issue as the harbor, kill one pack, fly, find next...

In the end I farmed at Valhalas, killing Mjordin Combatant (check link for location).
THE AREA IS PHASED IF YOU DID THE QUESTS, if you completed the zone it's probably NOT going to work for you.
Good thing about this place: You NEVER run out of mobs, everytime you kill the last 3, they repop instantly! The area is small and require minimal running/moving around, as a warlock I was just running around the center of the plateform casting corruption, tab, corruption, tab... LOOT!

In about one hour of farming (with scavenging!), I ended up with:
- 460 Étoffe de tisse-givre
- 1 Blue
- 17 Greens
- 200g from mobs
- 100g worth of junk
- 700ish Vrykul bones
- a 15g repair bill

===============================
From what i've read the Mjordin Combatant behavior have changed since WotLK, people were complaining about long respawn time and not enough mobs before, so give it a try and leave a comment.
Happy farming!

If you're looking for a spot to get the frostweave easily, go to this spot:

http://www.wowhead.com/maps?data=210:424563

and just farm there(pretty much that whole area, from where those huge skeleton guys are, to where you start hitting the walls of the bridge and stuff up at the north side). Kill the contended heroes, I believe that's what they are called. There's groups of 6 or 8 of them walking around. Just kill the groups. If you kill them all, just wait like 5 min, they will be there again. As a mage at 85 I just used arcane explosion until they died, took just a few seconds.

It really helps if you have "The Guide to Northern Cloth Finding". I have to go, so just search it on here, it helps you in finding cloth. It says it's only for humanoids, and these guys aren't humanoids, but it helps, trust me. Unless it's this great of a drop rate normally.

I got about 400 frostweave in 30 min! Also got a ton of junk that sold for some easy extra bits of gold. But if you stay there long enough, you're gonna end up deleting everything that isn't frostweave. Or you could just go back to dalaran and sell the stuff, and put the frostweave in you bank.

Good luck guys.

Just a quick side note, Plagued Magnataurs drop Frostweave too...

Onslaught Harbour west of Icecrown as a lvl 90 mage is paradise for Frostweave cloths, just Arcane Explosion around and loot :-)

My results on 45 minutes:

7 stacks and 8 cloths.

Read this if:

You are a tailor/enchanter
Level 90 (or at least you are able to solo Wotlk normal and heroic dungeons)
You prefer instances, because your server isn't normal or bugged by other farmers

Since I have a tailor-enchanter character, who needs tremendous amount of Frostweave Cloth and items for disenchant, I tried to find the best spot for farming both. I filtered my spots, and ran in the most humanoid infected instances (best for cloth). Since normal is the repeatable one that is the most relevant, but always run one heroic, since you will need frozen orbs too.

I ran with my bm hunter, who isn't an enchanter, so the bop items gave me gold. Pick up the gray items too, vendor gives shiny gold for these.

My results 1-1 run:

Pit of Saron (normal)

26 Frostweave Cloth

Just wanted to update since patch (5.1) I think both Cathedral of Darkness and Converted Hero are great places to farm but what i have ran into with the Cross Server interaction is that Cathedral of Darkness is heavily over farmed or you will spend a great deal of your time "PVPING" rather then farming so I would suggest Converted Hero.

Commentaire de wynaught

Not sure how Marmotteuh below hasn't received more upvotes... Posting this as a new comment hoping to make it more visible to people. Combattant de Mjordin are numero uno for Étoffe de tisse-givre. I've done a few of the quests (can do the dailies) and it's not phased for me at all.

As an Affliction Démoniste Tailor with Récupération de tissu I just hit the mobs with Corruption and run back to the center (if I have to move at all). Shadow Prêtre with Mot de l’ombre : Douleur, Chevalier de la mort with Chaînes de glace, or Chasseur with a '/stopattack' macro would probably work just as well. The key is to just hit them with a no-cooldown dot or other ability that doesn't kill them instantly and that you can chain-cast to get them to run to you at the middle. At level 90 with 442 ilvl I'm doing just enough damage so they die basically as they get to me unless they leap to me. Only times it's annoying is when (VERY rarely) they will knock me in the air just as I hit Corruption, so I have to recast. Just dot up the next ones that repop, rinse and repeat. 3 up at all times means chain pulls are very easy to accomplish. I usually chain for about 30 seconds or so before stopping to loot so I make sure not to lose any. The insults they sling make it a little more interesting, as does the constant respawn, than anywhere else. Not to mention the 460 cloth gathered in an hour mentioned by Marmotteuh is right on track, even stopping in between to go vendor at the Shadow Vault. I'm guessing with completely empty bags and dropping a Jeeves or Kit de construction de robot-ferrailleur as an Engineer, you could get upwards of even 600 per hour.

Use the Os vrykul for turn-ins to get Rune-destin du pied-léger for those times when you have to move a bit to tag one.

Another nice thing is you don't have to feel bad for taking quest mobs from players that come through. The instant respawn allows you to stop for a minute (take a bio break maybe? :P) and let them get the mobs they need, perhaps even helping them kill them. Then you can go right back to work without having to stop the bloodshed. Fantastic spot, absolutely perfect. I've done other places too such as the Héros converti area, and it's just not as good.

TL;DR - If you're looking for the 1200 Étoffe de tisse-givre to level Couture you'll spend maybe 2-3 hours here (still not short, but the best I have seen). Need the 76 for ? Maybe 5 minutes. (Numbers based on wow-professions.)

Commentaire de 756643

Best place to farm in massive amounts in a short time span is in the Fosse de Saron, on normal mode. Took about 10 min to get 160 Étoffe de tisse-givre. Gather up all the groups and destroy, loot, repeat... This is soloable for most high lvl toons, and is about 10,000% more efficient than any other way that I have farmed. I usually pull the entire entrance and get 60-80 cloth in one go.

So if you have a high lvl toon, or a nice friend with a few min to spare, or are just really bored and wanna cash in on easy 20g on ah, this is the place to get Étoffe de tisse-givre.

Good luck! Happy farming and enjoy the extra time!

Commentaire de Barleduq

My tailor is a town-clown - a crafting toon that only has a 'character class' because you have to have one. Most of the levels on that character have been RAF grants, all the way up into the 70s, with a few scattered here and there as the capital-city dailies, DMF, and Thorium-Brotherhood-Rep grinding happened. (The toon is also the blacksmith of my alts...) It's a warrior, because I don't find them appealing to play at all.

In fact, I really don't know how to play them at all. And my gear is hopeless.

So this probably isn't the *best* place to farm, in terms of highest kill/loot count. But it was certainly doable, and not at all strenuous for an L80 mostly-incompetent warrior with Northern Cloth Scavenging.

There's a cave just off from K3 in the StormPeaks, that has Cracheuse de la Toile cristalline, some kobolds in it, and scattered clusters of gnolls around it. The gnolls and the kobolds drop frostweave cloth - not fantastically, but not bad - and the spiders drop the Soie d'araignée tisse-glace, which is annoying as hell to get off the AH, as it's always expensive. The respawn times are fast enough that you could just loop through the cavern repeatedly, tho someone more efficient than I could well get bored and find it too long.

In a few hours of looping around the area, leisurely running quests out of K3 and making sure to kill every single gnoll when I happened across the clusters of them, and doing as best as I could a full clear of the cave each time (ignoring respawns, at some point) I got 5 stacks of Frostweave and 2 of Iceweb Spider Silk.

I plan to go back on my L85 with skinning and do it some more. We'll see how the cloth drop rate changes.

Commentaire de 1061508

I may be completely wrong but I think that the Récupération de tissu helps more than it seems. I was farming embersilk in Tol Barad on my priest, which has the Northern Cloth Scavenging, and I thought that it was the best place ever because I got 250 embersilk in less than thirty minutes. Well I came back to the place that seemed so incredible on my priest but this time on my hunter, which did not have the cloth scavenging thing, and farmed for around 8min. and I barely got a thing. I logged out switched to my priest and went and tried the place again and it was as great as before.

I don't know if there is a passive tailoring spell that might be doing that or if the Northern Cloth Scavenging really does do more than it says but this was not a coincidence.

Commentaire de 1107209

At level 90, inside the Cathedral of Darkness in Icecrown is the best place to farm frostweave cloth. Respawn rate is quick and cloth drop is amazing! :D

Be afraid though, be very afraid if someone enters it to do a quest! Lick King will pay a visit and after the quest has done its dialogue, he will one shot you! (yes, at 90)

Fallen Hero's Spirits spawn running just north of this spot. Just stand there, target, wipe, repeat

Commentaire de smackthekids

I have found the Holy Grail of all Frostweave Farming locations.
I read all the comments, some places were good, but I simply don't have the patience to get a few cloth here and there, especially on a PvP server with gankers.
Cathedral of darkness is NOT that great.
Without anymore blabbering...

Step 1:

Head to Naxxramas on 25 Player difficulty; Save yourself past the 1st boss of the Plague Quarter by defeating the first encounter. Note: If you are not level 85 or higher but wish to farm this, you may need a helper just to defeat the 1st boss one time in a given week and then you can feel safe to continue solo farming.

Step 2 (The fun part):

The bats after 1st boss can be mass pulled at one time, ALWAYS dropping between 30 and 40 (sometimes 50) Frostweave in ONE pull! This is without the Tailoring bonus for extra cloth! Those with the Tailoring Profession can expect anywhere from the same to far greater results.
Note: Remember to loot the corpses multiple times, as sometimes so much cloth drops that it does not fit in the 1st loot window thanks to mass looting.

Step 3:

Afterwords, run out, reset the instance, and then switch the difficulty to 10man (Don't worry, this is a one time difficulty change, and you will stay on 10 man the rest of the week.)
Now run in, mass pull bats, loot your crazy amounts of cloth, run out, reset instance, repeat!

* Not kidding I got upwards of 10 to 15 stacks in around 10 minutes without the Récupération de tissu bonus!
* For the seasoned and hardcore farmers, I recommend keeping a stack of Potion des eaux sombres on you for all your runs to truly get the most cloth for your time spent. (Note: this is completely optional and not required by any means.)
* On a side-note, you can also expect to grab quite a few pieces of random gear, ranging from high vendor greens, to high AH price BoE epics!

- Obviously you'll then have a waiting period since you can't enter more than 5 times in an hour, but oh lord is it AMAZING! Forget these places people are saying has high drop-rates, this is quick, painless, in/out, immune to PvP gankers, and anyone level 85 and up can do this, which I'd assume you would be if u expected to farm Northrend mobs fast in the first place.
- As you're waiting for 5-Instance/hr limit to reset, you can be using your cloth for leveling that pesky Tailoring, making bank on the Auction House, or slow-farming some of the suggested places from other users in your down time, and as soon as the hour is done, hit up Naxx again for more loads of cloth, as often as you like all week!

Please try this out, and Up-Vote if it helped!

EDIT: Created an easier to follow step-by-step. Do not worry, both steps 1 and 2 are to set up your cloth farming for the entire week. After you have done the 1st two steps, you can enjoy an entire week of running in and out of Naxx collecting you cloth by the truckload without any additional steps.

EDIT: As posted below in a comment that was down voted (don't know why)
You do NOT have to continuously switch between 25/10. The reason for this is very often (as some have seen) simply running out and resetting the instance without changing difficulty sometimes does not reset mobs if you are saved to that raid. By starting on 25 just 1 time in a given week, then switching to 10man and resetting, it seems to avoid the mob reset bug that some of you have experienced. After the first switch, feel free to stay on 10man for the rest of the week.

Finally: A BIG THANK YOU to all you Wowhead users for getting this post to the #1 spot! Even though I've just discovered this late into patch 5.2, it's great to see the community is always out there looking to improve the gaming experience for others!

I don't know what version of Pit of Saron you all were running that gave you all that cloth.

I just cleared it all on Heroic: 35 PIECES of frostweave. Yep, that's it.

If I wasn't here getting a bit more rep, this would be the last place I'd farm frostweave.

Commentaire de Zyvoxx

Stopped by Snowblind Hills in The Storm Peaks, Northrend while questing on my monk. It seems that Savage Hill Scavengers drop 4 Frostweave Cloth each when they do drop it. Every 3-4th mob usually drops from what I can see, so the average is around 1 cloth each mob you kill I guess.

Commentaire de IBPwNin

Generally, this should suit your solo farming needs nomatter who you are. =)

Lvl 90+: WotLK raid trash. Specifically, Naxxramas (afaik) - I haven't checked ICC yet.

Plague Quarter - Killing Noth the Plaguebringer but NOT Heigan lets you reset the gauntlet of ba ts and other mobs between them.
Construct Quarter mobs up to and not including Patchwerk (don't kill him so you can reset mobs leading up to him)
Rinse, Run out, Reset, and Repeat

Your ilvl <370 (Lvl <83): seek out Converted Hero in the Icecrown zone. (<-click for map)
Your ilvl 370+ (Lvl 83-89): Cathedral of Darkness in the Icecrown zone. Chosen Zealot groups - Lvl 80 elites (500 cloth/hr with scavenging)

2 groups of 24 (aggro one mob will pull its entire group) better than converted heroes because they're faster to farm. You cannot root/snare these mobs!
They take exactly 2 minutes to respawn, only about 30 sec downtime between groups. (which I filled with cloth bolt crafting and d/e'ing)
I spent 2 1/2 fairly solid hours farming zealots on my Scavenging Tailor, killed 2500 mobs and got 1500 cloth
I also looted everything, vendoring greys via tundra mammoth as my bags filled, and D/E'd all greens which netted me, 175 Inf Dust, 35 GC Ess, and an instant 1k loot/vendor gold.

Edit: Ask and you shall receive! Indeed, Smackthekids had a helpful guide here, for killing bats in Naxx, before I - so reroute your gift baskets his way!

Commentaire de 998490

I totally recommend Onslaught Harbor in Icecrown, Northrend for those of higher lvls! it's FAST respawn! Practically no waiting! Abundance of frostweave and 5 horses for skinning Borean leather.

Commentaire de 827788

I quickly became discouraged with the cathedral of darkness, as I was waiting about 1minute 30seconds on downtimes when the mobs respawned. So I did this.

After you clear the cathedral, fly up to the front gate/dungeon entrance of ICC. Periodically, a Pustulent Horror and a pack of Vicious Geists will come and attack the NPCs outside of the citadel. If you go and AoE the geists and pustulent horror, you can easily steal them from the NPCs. Their cloth yield is -great- (average about 5-10 cloths per pack) and you'll get back just in time to find the cathedral all respawned. No time lost!

These aren't always up. So if they aren't up, you can run to the death knight initiates right next to the platform to the East and kill those instead. They don't really drop a lot of cloth if any at all, but it gives a chance at some more greens, something to do, and on your way back you might find a pack up.

Doing this, I got 230 cloth (without cloth scavenging) in an hour. It was a great way to farm the 1200-odd cloth you need for tailoring.

(Note: this was done with epic flying. 150% flight may or may not be time-saving.)

Commentaire de 1141521

The best place i have found for farming Frostweave is Icecrown.

I just fly around and look for the big groups of converted heroes and kill them. I averaged 5 frostweaves per group and even managed to get 12 from one.
I walked away with 8 stacks in under 30 minutes.

My circumstances were: I had Northern Cloth Scavenging, I wasn't competing with anyone else (but the re-spawn rate is so quick and the area so large it doesn't really matter) and I'm a lvl 89 Paladin. Nothing special.

Commentaire de 1093598

The best place I've found to farm Frostweave Cloth (speaking as a lvl 90 Shadow Priest) is the Cathedral of Darkness in Icecrown (entrance @ 45,77).

Chosen Zealots kneel along the tables on either side, and once you aggro one of them, the rest on that side will glom onto you in about 10 seconds. At 90, these are easily wiped out with a few applications of Mind Sear. I like standing as close to the middle candelabra as possible to attract them evenly. From the beginning of the "fight" until that group respawns again is about 2 minutes and 30 to 40 seconds, so you have time to run to the door, summon your Traveler's Tundra Mammoth and sell the junk, DE drops, and craft bolts of cloth. I've found this farming location to be VERY lucrative. The average gold looted per group is about 5g, and the junk is well worth selling. Oh yeah, and I got 15 stacks of cloth in 20 minutes. This may work well for non-tailors, as (according to rumor) the tailoring cloth drop bonus is only applied to humanoids, not undead.

Hope this helps.

Commentaire de Angelicdeath

Frustrated with not being able to find a superb place to farm Frostweave Cloth I decided to do a little recon of my own. I focused on the Ice Crown area. Using my lvl 90 Disc Priest I came up with the following data. Please note that your own experience may vary, I had not completed any quests in the Ice Crown are and that may factor in to weather you can farm a certain area or not.

Please Up-Vote if this was helpful!

The best place for me was The Savage Ledge, 37/24. It's a small area with a constant re-spawn rate, I could not kill everything without more mobs spawning. In 15 minutes I had:

60x Frostweave Cloth
2x Blue
4x Green
40g Vendor trash
30g Dropped by Mobs

The Shadow Vault, 44/24. 15 minutes, Very Slow re-spawn rate:

18x Frostweave Cloth
5g Vendor trash
5g Drobbed by Mobs

Aldur'thar: The Desolation gate, 15 minutes, very quick re-spawn rate:

27x Frostweave Cloth
7 Green
25g Vndor Trash
15g Dropped by Mobs

Mord'rethar: The Death gate, 5 minutes, after killing everything I got tired of waiting around for re-spawn:

9x Frostweave Cloth
1x Green
10g Vendor Trash
10g Dropped by Mobs

Cathedral of Darkness: I came back to this place SEVERAL times to try to farm here. I could not due to the fact that everyone else was competing to farm here. Apparently it is very popular so I had no luck here.

Forge of Souls Dungeon - 10 minutes to clear

20x Frostweave Cloth
3x Green
78g Vendor Trash
10g Dropped by Mobs

Pit of Saron Dungeon - 30 minutes for full clear

34x Frostweave Cloth
10x Green
86g Vendor Trash
20g Dropped by Mobs

Halls of Reflection Dungeon - 20 minutes to clear

14x Frostweave
2x Green
76g Vendor Trash
6g Dropped by Mobs

Commentaire de 165964

If you want to farm the cloth for an alt on a toon without Récupération de tissu Pit of Saron is definitely the spot to go to. After 4 trashruns I had about 150 cloth. Took me about 15 minutes as an Elemental Shaman at level 90. Mind, I didn't touch any bosses, I just rounded up all the trash in the lower bit.

Commentaire de 1148514

I definitely agree that the Converted Heroes in the valley just east of Ymirheim in Icecrown is the place to farm this. My 86 mage with northern cloth scavenging can get nearly 3 stacks in about 10 minutes consistently. It's a great way to spend time while waiting for dungeons to queue up, too!

Commentaire de 998592

After going through several of the comments and trying out several of the locations listed, this is what I surmised:

1. The drops for frostweave cloth, even for a tailor with Northern Cloth Scavenging (like me), are extremely low, while the amount needed to level tailoring is ridiculous.

2. For the reasons listed above, buying on the auction house, at least on my server, means paying at least 50g a stack and when one does the math and realizes how much money they're going to have to spend to get through WotLK tailoring, farming seems like the better alternative.

The best area that I've found for someone below level 85 and at least a level 80, Onslaught Harbor (as many have said) is a great area. There are quite a few mobs, they respawn fairly quickly, and they're confined to a reasonably small area. Almost anything that you kill will yield at least 1 frostweave.

That said, if you are a level 90, definitely go to Cathedral of Darkness. The respawns are insane and you can pull them in large packs, no problem. You will pick up a lot of vendor trash, though, so you might want to clear your bags first.

Bottom line: while questing through Northrend, you will pick up a decent amount of cloth, but not enough to finish tailoring. My advice is to wait until you are a higher level (above 80), the go back to Icecrown to get all your frostweave. It's much easier this way.

Commentaire de VictusVeratus

Firstly Id like to thank all the Wow-Headers out there that have added such amazing input on gathering everything from Frostweave Cloth down to Spices! I truly appreciate everyone!

Onto to important stuff! I found that as I was grinding Alliance Vanguard Rep in the Pit of Saron (and as a 90 Worgen DK w/ Tailoring) I was gathering at least 6-7 stacks of Frostweave every run.

Easy way to get the Cloth and the rep is to run it on HEROIC, BUT DONT KILL THE BOSSES. Kill all the mobs in the center, then run out and reset. Rinse and Repeat :) If someone else has alreay said that in this thread, im just bringing it to the top :D

Happy Hunting and Happier Wow'ing!

Commentaire de Rhevenge

After reading many of the comments I've found that the fastest and easiest place to farm for Frostweave Cloth is, in fact, Cathedral of Darkness. Within 30 mins I've collected 10 1/2 stacks. I did try Onslaught Harbor and found very little cloth there. After about the same amount of time I collected 2 stacks. So I would strongly suggest the Cathedral.

Commentaire de Baelfurion

I also had trouble thinking my reset had not worked when I first tried this earlier today. So, for those who seem to have trouble getting the reset to 'take' -- Remember, the initial spawns do not reappear on reset, so you will not see anything to fight until you get to the area after the 1st boss.

Immediately upon re-entering the instance try the hint given a few times below about using a macro: /tar plague If the reset has been successful it will target one of the plague bats past the 1st boss's area and you will know it's worth the trek in to kill them and get your Frostweave!

Once I realized I was not going in far enough to see the reset, I was able to complete 5 runs through today. The longest part of the last 4 was the trip to Venomspite to sell the greens/etc. picked up in the process. In total I amassed 14.5 stacks of cloth and 300g! I do have the cloth boon from the vendor in Howling Fjord.

Many THANKS to smackthekids for this great farming idea and to everyone else who confirmed and added their own bits of info. Good Luck you you all~

Commentaire de Toreadores

If you are 90 lvl the best place for Frostweave cloth farming (at least for me) is The Pit of Saron on normal. When you enter just mount up, start running through the mobs between Ick and Garfrost (I uploaded a map where I marked where you have to run and gather them I don't know if WoWhead will approve it but if they will it will be a great help for everyone). Gather them up and AoE them. As 90 lvl you will kill them almost instantly. I am Frost Mage and the whole run took me one and a half minute. after that go out and repeat (don't bother with the bosses). Do this 5 times (because this is the limit of dungeons you can do per hour). It will take about 6-10 minutes (depends of your class). I gathered 340 frostcloth (with northrend cloth scaveging) which is ~70 cloth per run. I don't think you will find any other place where you can gather 15-17 stacks for less than 10 minutes. And also you will gain 500-600g from trash items. Just autoloot everything.

Best place to farm is POS (Pit of Saron (normal). If you are a new clothie ( priest , lock or mage or any other class thats a clothie ) get the Northern Cloth Scavenging. Its going to make you life SO much easier .
Just mount up an aggro a lot of mobs and kill them .I got about 30 cloths off about 10 mobs . I didnt do any of the questing out here due to 90 boost .

I farmed the cathedral of darkness area on my main who did do the questline . I averaged about 13 cloths with all the mobs in the room.

Commentaire de Lovestorybro

Everyone says to go to Icecrown or run dungeons, but there's another spot that's better if you're lower level (did this at 74 while questing). Go to Zul'Drak at 33:79. There are 6-7 Rageclaw Hunters attacking Drakuru Blood Drinkers and Drakuru Berserkers (about 3 mobs at a time). You just have to tap each enemy mob once and the loot is yours, plus they respawn immediately. Takes about 15 seconds to kill each group and you can get up to 4-5 cloth per group, although the drops are not consistent so sometimes you will get none. I was able to get several stacks fairly quickly.

Commentaire de 1252871

Having never been anywhere else to scavenge Frostweave, I will blindly say, not that Zélote élu in Cathedral of Darkness, Icecrown is the best NPC and the best spot to farm, since I don't know for sure. But I do have a 90 lock tailor, a Cor de bataille, and Northrend Scavenging, making it safe to proclaim that for tailors with all the perks, this is Frostweave nirvana. Until the day Blizz spoils the party (nerfs), this is where I get my frostweave.

I timed 25 minutes of farming and as of today, was able to score 197 cloth off 9 mobs ranging between 17-33 cloth per mob, about 5-7 greens in all for my enchanter to take care of, even the junk you sell to your mammoth vendor nets you lots of gold. I counted 177 gold in trash I sold...The disenchants score Poussière d'infini, which tailors combine with Rouleau de tisse-givre to make Rouleau de tisse-givre imprégné. Each bolt, at least on Proudmoore, goes for over 30 gold currently....In 25 minutes, I make 19 imbued bolts and add 3 more cloth from the auction house to complete the stack, I sell 4 stacks of 5 x 31g each cloth for total of 620 gold plus the junk.

The Battle Horn is great because you just stand in the middle of the room, hit the horn, then entire room comes to you, throw out a few lock Graine de Corruption as the Zélote élu run toward you (dismiss or passive your pet), drench the crowd in Pluie de feu, the seeds pop and the whole room dies at once. Then they respawn at the same exact time, hit horn.....you see the pattern.

I am probably missing out on something better, but my bank alt is almost full now and I am dreading the day where I have to unload and flood the auction house, so these numbers suit me fine. Happy Farming.

One more thing. I have made it a habit that if I see alliance already farming the area (or horde if I am on my horde toons), I ask how long, then come back when they are done. There is really plenty to keep us busy. I like to farm uninterrupted and hope to receive the same respect I give so the amount I farm isn't cut in half. Be courteous and ask. If it catches on, we will all benefit.

Update 8/8/14: So remember when I said, "Until the day Blizz spoils the party (nerfs), this is where I get my frostweave," about 15 or so lines earlier? I should have never committed like I did because now I am writing this, an equivalent of a newspaper retraction after not getting the facts straight.

Forget this location and click this link to the REAL frostweave nirvana. If you sort the comments by highest rated, this comment comes in at the top. And for a really good reason.

The link is actually in this thread if you hadn't noticed the item ID. It is by no means a landslide, but for those who value their time, desire to invest that time into farming cloths, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY want to do so alone and unfettered, with no chance of interruption by anyone, this is now the new hot spot. The kind of post that makes me think, "DAMN, why couldn't I find that first!" Once you get a pattern down, this becomes a very easy farm and as mentioned, noone can cut in on your cloth intake, which seems to make this spot more attractive than jousting with other toons in the Cathedral. Check it out!

Thank you to everyone for posting areas to farm frostweave. I'll add mine. I spent 45 minutes around the Desolation Gate in Icecrown and got 10 stacks of frostweave, a dozen greens, and about 50 in gold.

Commentaire de VicHolmes

Howdy, all!

For those farming Étoffe de tisse-givre, Check out Zul Drak out by Rageclaw Den @ coords: 33.4/79.7. The Berserkers & BloodDrinkers come straight at you, to you, and practically deliver the goods to your feet. I farmed for 10 min and had 81 stacks of Étoffe de tisse-givre. You pick up a lot of garbage, too, but stacks of Morceaux de vêtements de fourrure épaisse may be Gray items, but the sell for 10G each and the rest can easily net you (as they did me) an extra 300G just in farming.

See the screenshot for the best place to sit while the goods come to YOU!

Happy Hunting!

Commentaire de Saqib

A very good place to farm frostweave cloth is the instace Pit of Saron on heroic difficulty, each run yields upto 10 stacks and the minimum i have had were 5 stacks.
The added bonus of Pit of Saron is that you have a chance to get Battered Hilt.

Commentaire de 293216

You can't even give these away. On my server they go for next to nothing and one guy must have 300 stacks listed in the auction house. My advice would be to simply vendor them.

Commentaire de leomac1

By far the best farming spot now for 90's is Naxx, 1200 frostweave/hour

Step 1. Go to Naxxramas in Northrend and set the raid difficulty to 25 before you go in. You can do this by right clicking over your own portrait.

Step 2. Clear the first part of the Plague Quarter and kill Noth the Plaguebringer. Level 85-89 players might need to ask for a friend's help to kill the first boss. You only need to kill it once, so it would only take a couple of minutes.

Step 3. Kill every mob after the first boss, you will find mostly bats there. This is the room where you will come back after you reset the instance. Don't kill the second boss!

Step 4. Run out. Reset the instance by right clicking over your own portrait and click "Reset all instance" then switch the raid difficulty to 10 man. You don't have to switch between 25 man and 10 man from this point.

And best thing is there's no competition as its instanced.

Enjoy :)

Lvl 85 DK in the valley of the Fallen. (50,43) great place to farm.

Commentaire de 1351780

If you want to farm for frostweave forget icecrown or The Storm Peaks. Just find naxxramas. im a tailor but when i find up to 15 frostweave on one or two or three fiends then thats awesome and i havent found anything close to that number anywhere in northrend. so go and try it. you will never regret it.But i should tell you that im doing naxxramas alone with a lv 90 monk so if you have a charater that can do the job alone just do it. thats my advise....

Commentaire de Wimbleton

I don't mean to be a party pooper but this is not exactly as easy as it sounds. You need to be very familiar with Naxx before you go, and you need to have a certain level of equipment as a 90 MDPS or you're going to have an interesting but not necessarily productive time. By all means set the level to 25, or 10, or nuclear destruction, but to get to the plague quarter you're going to need to deal with some mobs that are immune to 90% of what you've got. Why did it have to be gargoyles? I hit them with 100K crits and made little impact. Hmmmm. Must be my connection, right?

My DKs remember Noth the Plaguebringer fondly and it was fun to kill him with 9 other well-geared players. You'll be able to kill him with a 90 in decent gear but plan on spending about 30 minutes on that one battle. But after all, the rewards are....uh...disappointing. Level-appropriate, remember? That would mean pretty much worthless unless you DE them but we're after Frostweave here.

I love these old battles and an amusing trip down memory lane. This particular Monk of mine is about 500 item level and I wasn't really in danger of dying, but I was in there for a long time, blowing through potions (except while in battle and you're in battle about 110% of the time) and using every cooldown in the book, learning new things but.....mostly just killing hundreds of pretty tough mobs over and over and over again. Kind of like Groundhog Day and not as interesting as Edge of Tomorrow.

But I did get 10 Frostweave Cloth. 10. TEN. Hmmm. Money-back guarantee? Dix. X. ten. Wow. Ugh.

Commentaire de SHO57

I have found Naxx to be much slower and more more problematic than heroic 5 mans. Pit of Saron has been the most lucrative. Very easy to gather up the whole first room of trash, 3-4 stacks of cloth, then reset.

Commentaire de 1013194

Level 90 Combat Rogue, 30 Min Run of Naxxramas, Enter as 10 man, Kill the boss, Kill the bats and worms, Leave! Reset the raid, Enter As 25 man heroic every time Now And Dont kill the boss after the bats and worms that drop frost cloth
or it will not reset the worms and bats, Just the first boss in the blue square room. I Killed this boss in 30 sec : /.
The buffs i had are burst of speed Movement speed 197, night stalker Talent, Movement speed 222 in steath.
Each run took me 2m 39 sec, start to finish. Thats about 12 runs, Patch 6.0.3 There seems to be no Amount of times you can enter in 30 min's...

I got Geen gear, blue gear, Purple gear,
Vendor trash,
I sold it all and got 489g
i got 700+ frost cloth. 200 stacks Going for 200g+ on my low realm, Beat this Run For frost Cloth any place and or class :)
Good luck, up vote this Please if it helped.

I sold my cloth and got 800g, thats 1289g in 30 mins. 2.5k an hour not to bad hmm....

Commentaire de Tykan

I just did three of the top suggested methods and as of now, here are the results as a non-tailor.

Naxx Strategy:
About 40 cloth per run. Times varies as certain classes have better speed boosts. However its both a fairly long run to and from the entrance.

Pit of Saron:
About 30 cloth per run. I grabbed just the various groups in the general area infront of the entrance, as the skele's and other things don't seem to drop much and take longer to round up. Biggest pro is being able to mount.

Converted Heroes in Icecrown:
About 1 cloth per 3 groups...Utterly worthless, even with the ability to fly, as their slow buff and space between groups add to the annoyance of farming them.

So, Pit of Saron seems to be the best method mentiond, though I haven't tried looking for better places.

Commentaire de 1432883

For those at a lower level than required by the highest drop rate zones, I found that the Kvaldir Mist Lords at Garrosh's Landing have dropped 20 in 10 minutes, so that works out to a pretty decent amount. Fairly consistent drop rate, no interruptions and lots of mobs that hardly aggro.

Commentaire de mialun

Ive been farming Pit of Saron for Frostcloth (since the Naxxramas method didnt seem to work for me) and made a 3-day-break from it and today i noticed that my frostweave drops became pretty rare, i made 4 runs now and only gained 29 cloth.
Anyone noticed similar? I always gained ca 30-50 cloth per run, so im bewildered.

Commentaire de nicholberry

February, 2015: If you sorted by newest, you might get me. Don't waste your time... resort to highest rated and BELIEVE "smackthekids". He's right on target. NAXX / Plague Quarter is the place to go. Everything in Icecrown has been nerfed, Pit of Saron is much lower drop rates than Naxx. Pay attention to his instructions - you only need kill Noth one time and DO NOT KILL the second boss or it won't reset for you.

Yes, I am a level 90 lock with maxed tailor/enchant skills. I will list what one 50 minute farming event (done per "smackthekids" instructions) netted me. I did one heroic 25 man run, reset the instance and did five 10 man heroic runs with the following totals:

1. Four epics (all sold because d/e only nets useless nexxus crystals)
2. 1 Rare (sold on AH for 265g)
3. 41 greens (all d/e for 275 infinite dust, 43 greater cosmic essence, 4 lesser cosmic essence)
4. tons of trash sold for 659g (this includes the 4 epics)
and..... drum roll.....
5. 460 frostweave cloth (you can do the math).

GOOD LUCK
(if you enter the instance a second time to find that the mobs on the first level did not respawn, do not despair... the room with the plague beasts, grubs and bats will have completely reset and that's your target area).

Commentaire de twonavels

I've done the Naxx farming thing on an alt on another server last year and that worked well for me. Tried doing it again tonight and the bats, etc before Heigan (the 2nd boss) didn't respawn.

Commentaire de 1442146

Best place ever is: Deathspeaker's Watch. Coords 61.05 - 19.76
I'm dropping around 5 cloths per minute.

Commentaire de brighidsvoice

Frostweave drops have been nerfed throughtout all of Northrend. Did ICC 10 yesterday amd walked out with less than 60 cloth for the entire raid instance. Apparently, Blizzard did the nerf due to bot farming, however I think they took it way too far. They've made it nearly impossible to level tailoring. Bottom line? There is no good place left to farm cloth (and because of the Deathspeaker's Watch recommendation, the area is now so over run with farmers, no one can complete the daily quests there). I hope the Blizzard blues get a clue soon.

Commentaire de Tatoh

Ok, i love you. You just save me a LOT of time.

Commentaire de Courren

Shared my special farming spot here. Roughly 1 1/2 - 2 stacks of frostweave every two minutes. Good luck and happy farming! :)

Update: Adding the coords so you dont have to go to link. It's the Cathedral of Darkness in Icecrown - /way 43.9, 77.7

Commentaire de 727576

I will also put in my vote for the Cathedral of Darkness at 43, 78. Pro tip: use your Battle Horn that you get in Timeless Isle, stand in the middle of the cathedral (between the 2 groups) and it will draw all of them to you in one shot. By the time the mobs respawn, the horn is off of cooldown. As a level 100 medium geared ret pally, easy one-shot on all of them. I'm getting about 1-2 greens a pull, 5-10 frostweave and about 5-10g.

Commentaire de ThatLimeyWeasel

If you're looking for an *extremely* easy place to farm this, go southeast of Light's Breach in Zul'Drak to the big group of friendly wolvar, just south of Rageclaw Den (coords 32.9, 86.2). You can just park yourself there and pretty much endlessly kill the attacking Drakuru trolls, as even if you're one-shotting them they'll keep coming almost as fast as you can kill + loot.

Just 1 hour there netted me 315 frostweave cloth (with cloth scavenging...unsure if it boosts drops here since the trolls are undead, not humanoid). Perfect lazy farming spot, plus Light's Breach is right nearby to vendor all your greys when your inventory fills up.

Commentaire de RamsyThePoet

Running my 518 LW....
(workin' and wearin'..one dumb brow wiggle after another)
.....gal through the Blackriver Logging Camp in Grizzly Hills resulted in a substantial reaping of frostweave cloth.
Assaulting orcs are scattered aplenty throughout the nicely packed ground. With their fast respawning rate one should have no problems (assuming one has a well above low 70s status)having less of a grind grinding out a continual supply of cloth.

Commentaire de Elill

Did several runs in Northrend for cloth, on Heroic, with Cloth Scavenging, and this is the results:

Utgarde Pinnacle - 25 cloth
Gundrak - 34 cloth
Forge of Souls - 41 cloth
Drak'tharon - 54 cloth
Pit of Saron - 56 cloth
Nexus - 74 cloth
Halls of Lightning - 109 cloth
Ahn'kahet - 115 cloth
Utgarde keep - 122 cloth

IceCrown Citadel - 170 cloth
Ulduar - 265 cloth
Naxxramas - 371 cloth
(keep in mind these are raid and takes alot longer to finish compared to the dungs)

Hope this info is helpful :)

Commentaire de Chardonnay

Naxxramas "hack" still works for this as of 9.2, 100 cloth in a few minutes. You'll need a reasonably high level character for this to solo, 40+ I think as the raid is level 30.

1. Enter Naxxramas on 25 man normal.
2. Enter plague quarter (South East) and kill the first boss.
3. Continue into the next room and kill all the bats. You will probably only need to actively pull a few of them - they aggro in large groups. Do not bother going any further unless you need to complete the raid for the achievement or something.
4. Exit the dungeon either by running back out or creating a group and leaving party, whatever is faster.
5. Reset all instances from your player portrait menu.
6. Switch to 10 man and repeat. First boss will not respawn but the bats will.

Pretty close to exactly 100 cloth per run on a tailor. I'd have bought them instead but there were none available on AH when I needed some!

I'm not sure if starting on 25 man is still needed. I read that in an old guide and it's no harder than 10 man on a high level character anyway.

Commentaire de Igorath

I used to farm the cathedral in IC and get tons of cloth and lots greens but now nothing. Was it nerf'd in the last 2 years? I know Frostweave bags are pointless now but still wondering.
