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.

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.

For aoe classes that can pull 5 up to 24 mobs, the best spot to grind frostweave is in Icecrown.

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:

https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/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.

https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/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 socalheel

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 Verdice

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

https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/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 Candilla

Classic WOTLK:

Level 80 arcane mage and not terribly well geared - blues and a few greens. So I used mostly single target spells and a little AOE. I'm a tailor with the Northern Cloth Scavenging ability.

1st stop - Sholazar Basin - the pools over by Avatar of Freya. I had a +100 spell power against undead oil leftover from some old quest that I applied to my weapon so that helped. I started on the NW side but Freya kept killing my tags. So I switched over to the SE corner. Much better there as Freya ignores most of the mobs but you still have the flowers to help with aggro. They do so little damage they can't hold it but they also don't kill your mobs. As the others have said, instant respawns with no down time. I'm thinking of bringing my warrior here it give it a try.

The only issue I had was I was often in combat that I didn't even know about because I helped a flower kill a mob and the flower ran half-way across the pond to fight another mob. So I wasn't able to eat/drink at times and it was hard locating the mob I needed to kill. That was a little scary sometimes but there are plenty of places to run to where you can just wait out the fight if you need to do so.

I farmed for an hour and got 147 frostweave cloth, 6 assorted greens and 40g worth of vendor garbage (including food and drinks since I have an unlimited supply). Less 2g for repairs.

2nd stop - Icecrown for the groups of heroes. NE of The Fleshwerks and a little ways N of Corp'Rethar - past the various undead just north of the wall. You're looking for the tall single guys with a banner along with 8 small guys in a line. You will also find a few single small guys wandering around on their own. Watch out for them as they tend to sneak up on you. None of them aggro as a group so you can pull them one at a time from their groups without worry. I farmed them one at a time since I'm arcane and they hit hard. I found out the hard way they are immune to a frost mage's freeze abilities. This is paladin heaven since you can pull 1, 2 or 3 groups at a time as well.

I farmed for an hour and got 130 frostweave cloth, 6 greens and 20g worth of vendor garbage. Less 5g for repairs.

You can't judge by a single hour in any one place but both spots are good for farming frostweave cloth and seem to be about equal based on my results.

If you want to do single target pulls with virtually zero risk, move a little farther north and stand at 48.08 - 46.32 in Icecrown. There are single Fallen Hero's Spirits that will run right past you or are walking around the area. They are yellow and so don't attack you unless you attack first. They come at a steady clip all day long. I was constantly tagging them and there were still many that just ran past me. They disappear a little ways down the valley. You can take a break any time without having to move or fly. Every once in a great while a Scourge Converter (red mob) will wander down but only one ever came close enough to draw aggro on their own.

3rd stop - Icecrown for the Scavenging Geists. They are NE of Ymirheim. These are easily farmed one at a time. You can work pretty steadily as they respawn at a reasonable rate but not nearly as fast as in Sholazar. One downside to this spot is the mobs both north and south of them sometimes draw aggro but they drop no loot at all.

I farmed for an hour and got 107 frostweave cloth, 5 greens and 20g worth of vendor garbage. Less 1g for repairs. Significantly worse than the other two spots. Especially considering these mobs are level 80. Another post claims an average of 38 STACKS per hour here. The date is 2010 on the post so it's Retail, not classic.

I tried the Geists again specc'd as a frost mage and followed the Icy-Veins.com recommendation for talents and rotation. The ground is uneven here so use a ground mount to maintain aggro as you round them up in groups of 2-6. They respawn fast so I had no down time waiting except for eating and drinking. Make sure you farm near the north wall too. Some of the mobs don't drop loot but there are a lot of the Geists mixed in.

I farmed for an hour and got 127 frostweave cloth, 3 greens and 34g of vendor garbage. Less 1.5g for repairs. The vendor items included 10 Runic Healing Potions and 3 Runic mana Potions. A little better than single targeting as an arcane mage but still not as good as Sholazar with its near instant respawns.
