Farming for Wool, where?!Follow

I got some from drops in Boulder Lode mine in northwest barrens.

( addendum to the above ) - you'll start finding Mageweave on mobs around level 35 or 36 occasionally - very common on humanoids in the 42 - 48 range .. level 50+ mobs seem to be dropping Runecloth more than anything else ( i've not gone up against a humanoid above level 52 yet - that one dropped three Runecloth )

This is very true and I keep forgetting about it. When my rogue was very low level I heard about this and started killing sheep whenever I saw them. I felt kind of bad about it as their death cry really pulls at the heart strings, but my greed for larger bags won out. Most of the time I’d skin the sheep and get scrap leather, but from time to time I’d get wool.

Yes, I play on the alliance side. And don’t worry about sheep. They were a nice addition for low level players to get a bit of wool cloth early on, but sheep spawn sporadically and one at a time so they can’t really be used for skilling up tailoring.

As a level 37 character I’m very surprised you’re having trouble finding wool drops. Any humanoid around 20 to 30 should drop wool, or possibly even silk as they get closer to level 30. Of course, cloth drops in general are usually low unless your so much higher level than the mobs your killing that you can just plow through them. For example, I was farming silk for my priest alt, killing level 30 to 33 rogue mobs as a level 40 rogue myself. I was lucky if I got a stack of silk per hour. It’s been my personal experience that cloth drops are just slow. That’s what’s been holding up my priest’s tailoring. If you can farm money faster, you might be better off doing so and buying wool at the auction house.

Thanks I'll try those places when I get home.

Yeh I get a lot of Silk drops, I have around 140 pieces saved in the Bank for later.

Where are some good places for silk drops? I dont use wool anymore, just sell in AH for around 75 silver.
