WoW Forever Cloth Farming: Best Spots for Linen to Runecloth

Beta caveat: built from beta data ahead of launch on 4 Nov UTC / 5 Nov AEDT. [Classic-based] = Classic Era data Forever may change; [Unconfirmed] = to recheck at launch.

Cloth drops from humanoids and undead, not from beasts. This page lists the best mobs for each cloth. Linen, Wool and Silk use drops players actually logged in the Forever beta. Mageweave, Runecloth and Felcloth have no Forever drop logs yet, so those spots are Classic picks. For what to make with it, see the Tailoring guide and First Aid.

Which cloth drops at which level

Cloth	Mob levels	Best levels	Used for
Linen Cloth	About 1–20	Not listed	Tailoring, First Aid
Wool Cloth	About 15–30	Not listed	Tailoring, First Aid
Silk Cloth	28–40	30–40 for drop rate, 36–40 for stack size	Tailoring, First Aid
Mageweave Cloth	38–50	45–49	Tailoring, First Aid
Runecloth	50+	55–60	Tailoring, First Aid, cloth turn-ins
Felcloth	50+ demons only	None (3–5% on normal demons)	High-end Tailoring

Silk, Mageweave, Runecloth and Felcloth level ranges come from Wowhead's Classic cloth guide. [Classic-based] Linen and Wool ranges are rough, taken from the mob levels in the tables below.

Linen Cloth: where it dropped in the Forever beta

The last two columns show how many logged kills dropped Linen, and how big the sample was. Small samples swing a lot, so treat them as a guide.

Mob	Zone	Level	Kills that dropped it	Sample
Venture Co. Peon	The Barrens	13–14	78%	36 kills
Venture Co. Drudger	The Barrens	14–15	74%	35 kills
Kolkar Stormer	The Barrens	13–14	58%	36 kills
Dalaran Protector	Silverpine Forest	14–15	56%	55 kills
Witchwing Slayer	The Barrens	16–17	48%	81 kills
Defias Thug	Elwynn Forest	3–4	38%	60 kills
Vile Familiar	Durotar	3–4	28%	106 kills

Ragefire Troggs and Searing Blade Enforcers in Ragefire Chasm dropped Linen on every logged kill (24 and 18 kills). That makes the Orgrimmar dungeon a quick Linen run for Horde.

Wool Cloth: where it dropped in the Forever beta

Mob	Zone	Level	Kills that dropped it	Sample
Dalaran Watcher	Silverpine Forest	18–19	65%	17 kills
Hillsbrad Footman	Hillsbrad Foothills	25–26	56%	18 kills
Bael'dun Officer	The Barrens	26	49%	35 kills
Bael'dun Excavator	The Barrens	21–22	47%	59 kills
Bael'dun Rifleman	The Barrens	24–25	34%	73 kills
Bristleback Thornweaver	The Barrens	18–19	32%	34 kills
Syndicate Watchman	Hillsbrad Foothills	20–21	30%	40 kills
Ravenclaw Guardian	Silverpine Forest	20–21	29%	34 kills

The Bael'dun dwarves at Bael Modan in the southern Barrens give a steady loop of four mob types. Twilight Acolytes in Blackfathom Deeps also dropped Wool.

Silk Cloth: where it dropped in the Forever beta

Mob	Zone	Level	Kills that dropped it	Sample
Scarlet Scryer	Scarlet Monastery	30–31 elite	100%	13 kills
Anguished Dead	Scarlet Monastery	31–33 elite	60%	15 kills
Haunting Phantasm	Scarlet Monastery	32–33 elite	55%	11 kills
Unfettered Spirit	Scarlet Monastery	31–32	49%	37 kills
Felmusk Shadowstalker	Ashenvale	26–27	44%	18 kills (1 player)
Bleakheart Shadowstalker	Ashenvale	27–28	40%	15 kills
Bleakheart Trickster	Ashenvale	27–28	36%	25 kills
Skeletal Raider	Duskwood	27–28	36%	14 kills

Scarlet Monastery is the stand-out. Its Graveyard ghosts and the Scryers dropped Silk on half or more of logged kills, and Scarlet Torturers on 22% of 36. Outdoors, the Bleakheart satyrs and Felmusk satyrs in Ashenvale are the best open-world pick so far.

Mageweave: best Classic spots

No Forever drop logs yet. These are Wowhead's Classic picks. [Classic-based]

Zone	Mobs	Level
Feralas	Gordunni ogres, plus Woodpaw gnolls and Grimtotem tauren near Camp Mojache	40–47
Tanaris	Dunemaul ogres (three camps); Wastewander humans and Southsea pirates on the way	40–48
Felwood	Lower-level Jadefire satyrs	50–51

The Dunemaul ogres are the long-time favourite: lots of them, fast respawns, flat ground.

Runecloth: best Classic spots

No Forever drop logs yet. [Classic-based]

Zone	Mobs	Level
Eastern Plaguelands	Undead in Plaguewood south of Stratholme, Corrin's Crossing and north of Light's Hope Chapel; the troll camp in the far north	53–60
Western Plaguelands	Undead on the farms and Andorhal; Scarlet Crusade camps by the north wall	51–58
Felwood	Jadefire satyrs (also Felcloth)	48–55
Silithus	Humanoid camps	55–60

Killing undead in the Plaguelands also earns Argent Dawn reputation once you hold the Argent Dawn Commission. In Felwood, avoid Timbermaw furbolgs if you care about Timbermaw Hold reputation.

Felcloth: demons only

Felcloth drops only from demons, and rarely: about 3–5% on normal mobs and around 7% on dungeon elites, by Wowhead's Classic numbers. [Classic-based] Farm the Jadefire satyrs at Jaedenar in Felwood, the Legashi satyrs in northern Azshara, or the Warpwood Quarter of Dire Maul. ForeverDB's Classic data also lists Felcloth at 80 silver from Vi'el, an Exotic Reagent Merchant, in Winterspring. [Unconfirmed]

FAQ

Is Scarlet Monastery the best Silk farm in Forever?

On beta data, yes. Four of its mobs dropped Silk on half or more of logged kills, though the samples are small (11 to 37 kills).

Do beasts drop cloth?

No. Cloth comes from humanoids and undead (and Felcloth from demons). Pair cloth farming with Skinning on beast-heavy routes instead.

Why are the Mageweave and Runecloth spots Classic?

Nobody had logged enough high-level Forever kills when we checked. We will swap in Forever data once it exists.
