Where is the best place to farm for Wool Cloth?

In my server the price for Wool Cloth in the Auction House is very high, considering it's a low level item. What's the best place to farm it?


Solution 1:

The easiest way to figure out where to farm an item is to have a look at the item's drop rates in Wowhead and find the mobs with the highest drop rate but also a large number of spawn points.

In this case, I had a look at the Wool Cloth page and found two good areas:

  • There's a cave in Stonetalon Mountains that may be good, with Windshear Stonecutter, Windshear Vermin and Windshear Overlord all having good drop rates but not many spawn points.
  • Durnholde Keep in Hillsbrad Foothills seems to be the best choice, with a good drop rate from Syndicate Watchman and Syndicate Rogue and 100s of them available to kill.

Solution 2:

Some good places are:

Eastern Kingdoms (North):

  • Loch Modan: The excavation site
  • Wetlands: Any area that has Mosshide Gnolls
  • Silverpine Forest: Fenris Island's undead gnolls (can't remember their name)

Eastern Kingdoms (South):

  • Redridge Mountains: Any area that has Blackrock Orcs.
  • (Alliance only) Stormwind City: The Stockade dungeon... of course, all enemies in it are elites.

Kalimdor:

  • Ashenvale Forest: The Naga near Blackfathom Deeps... and if you're high enough level, Blackfathom Deeps itself... of course, all enemies in it are elites.
  • The Barrens: Any area that has Razormanes, particularly the ones outside RFK and RFD.

NOTE: We're at most a month away from The Shattering (the part of Cataclysm that changes the world), so these locations may no longer be there or change their level spread/drop rates after it happens.

Solution 3:

Recently I needed to get my tailoring skill up on my level 30 undead warrior. Fenris Island worked out pretty well for getting wool cloth.
