Hey there, Goldmakers. This is Reckles, with WTBGold, and today we're going to be taking
a look at how to get more frostweave cloth than you know what to do with. Specifically,
we're going to be going over the top 5 places to farm Frostweave cloth and the tips and
tricks you need to know to farm them effectively. So, let's get into it.
So, the first place is everyone's favorite. Everyone talks about it, there's lots of guides
about this place and honestly it's not that good. Now, the first place I'm going to show
you are the Converted Heroes out in Icecrown Glacier, right in the center of the map. Now
these guys are, were originally a really good farm but they were such a good farm that they
got overfarmed and Blizzard nerfed them and they aren't really that good anymore. Beyond
that, as you can see, there is often competition. In fact, in my three-hour testing of this
spot, I never went more than 25 minutes without someone coming in and competing with me, and
as you can see when there's competition here you don't get ANY cloth from this spot. It's
horrible. The most I got on a per hour basis was about 450 cloth per hour. So, this spot
has the potential of about 750 cloth per hour, but in reality, it never lives up to that.
So, it's often farmed, these guys when you kill them, they have a debuff that slows you,
so that gets kindof annoying, you feel like you're always moving too slowly. It's just
kindof an annoying farm. I don't really like it.
But mentioning a spot that's been nerfed, this is just kindof an aside. Don't bother
going to the Fleshwerks. This used to be a spot once upon a time that you could farm.
You could kill the summoned soldiers and risen soldiers because these guys were the dream
for cloth farmers. As you can see they just instaspawn. It's absolutely insane. Like,
as quickly as you can kill them you can kill them again and an infinite number respawn,
but unfortunately they drop nothing but a couple silver now. Um, so don't bother going
here.The second spot I want to show you is the Cathedral of Darkness. To get there, start
looking at the entrance to ICC, turn right and there's a second set of stairs and just
go in there. Now there's a bunch of pews in here and there are packs of four mobs. Now,
protip: if you ever want to find a great spot for farming mats look on powerlevel forums,
because that's where you'll find the highest mob density of low health mobs and this is
one of those spots. These guys used to have a really fast respawn rate. That respawn rate
was nerfed, but it takes you about 1 minute to round em up. They have a two minute respawn
rate, and they drop an average of about 40 cloth per set of mobs so every three minutes
you get forty cloth. So, that comes out to about 800 cloth per hour and what I like about
this is you do have some downtime. So if you have a second monitor and you feel like watching
some YouTube videos or reading a book, or something, you can do that and wait for them
to respawn and still be farming and it's not a constant kill kill kill kill kill while
you're farming. If you think that spot would absolutely bore you to tears and you want
something a little bit more exciting, then head up to the Northern part of Icecrown to
Aldu'thar and there you're going to be killing the Cult Alchemists. This is more inclined
for ranged classes. People who can instacast, and you're going to be getting about 846 Frostweave
Cloth per hour here. These guys I honestly, I remember seeing a video on this a long long
time ago and I never tried it out because I just thought it would have gotten instanerfed
as soon as the video came out because it was just too good. These guys are part of a quest.
If you know anything about quest mobs, they have to respawn as soon as you kill them and
so you just kill them all and they all keep popping up, and they're all in a really close
vicinity. So, you just start in one end of this little courtyard and you run to the other
end and you kill them all, and you run to the other end. And so, if you're a warlock,
or a priest, or a mage you are good to go. The only problem with this is that you have
to make sure you loot at least semi regularly every two or three minutes. Have a timer running
so you don't forget to loot.
The next spot is a dungeon. This is Pit of Saron. To get here you start looking at ICC
again. And you head towards ICC and slightly to the right. Fly up and there is a balcony
up there. Head into that little stairwell. There are three trellises, I think they're
called. You actually have to do the first dungeon. Uh, the first dungeon on your left,
the first dungeon on your left first. to gain access to the Pit of Saron but it's a quick
one. Just run on through. Now what this dungeon is known for is Battered Hilt farming, and
what people normally do is pull the entire first floor, all of the mobs and kill them
all. What we're going to be doing is just pulling this first little courtyard, killing
them all, and then resetting in about 1 minute 30 seconds. So, we're gonna be getting 10
runs in in 15 minutes. Alright? We're gonna have to hustle. These guys drop. This one
little courtyard, in a minute thirty seconds 43 cloth. So, in 15 minutes we're gonna be
getting 430 cloth. And if we're lucky, we're gonna be getting a Battered Hilt worth 2,000
to 10,000 gold.
So, to do this run, as soon as you enter the instance, run straight through the first guy,
go ahead and ignore the second guy - he'll pull - make a bee-line to the last pack at
the edge of the courtyard then you're gonna turn around and pretty much just run straight
for the skeleton at the other end of the courtyard and everything else is going to chain pull
along your way. Turn around and run back to the first mob so everything groups up then
just AoE everything down and you're good to go. I know it's not fair to put a per hour
on this, but just to put this in perspective, if you could do forty runs, this would be
1700 Frostweave cloth per hour.
Now the fifth spot we're going to be going over is the Savage Lodge. Now this spot is
also completely broken. We're going to be killing Mj...Mjord...Mjordin Combatants. I
don't know how to say that, I'll put it up on the screen. This spot, if you couldn't
do Aldu'thar, because you were, let's say, a Warrior tailor. This is better for melee.
These guys are also quest mobs so they instaspawn, and one of the funny things - if you don't
kill them, if you just attack them, they'll like, leap at your face! So you could actually
use that to your advantage if you have Death and Decay and you're not super overgeared,
you could put that down in a couple spots and tag em. I don't know. Use your abilities
to your advantage and tag a few of them and get em all in one spot and then AoE em
down. This is a great spot. This got about 800 cloth per hour. As you can see, these
are all really good spots, it's all unique depending on what you need, what you want,
how you want to farm. So, to sum up. Never do Converted Heroes because they're stupid
and you've got competition and it's slow and it's boring. Blah. Always do Pit of Saron
because it's not only crazy crazy crazy, but you can get Battered Hilts, and that's an
added Bonus that can make you a lot of Gold. Beyond that, if you want to watch YouTube
videos, go to Cathedral of Darkness. If you are a DoT class or a ranged class, go to Aldu'Thar.
If you are a Melee class, go to Savage Lodge. Ok?
Now, I actually also wanted to show you a bonus spot. Now this is kindof a PSA for Blizzard
in a way, because this spot was actually hotfixed. It's not supposed to be there, and it's about
as close to breaking the Terms of Service as you can get because you have to do some
finagling to make it work. What you have to do, these mobs are not supposed to spawn.
They, uh, once you kill them, they're supposed to stay dead, but you can do some trickery
to make them spawn again. We're gonna be farming the mutated grubs and the plaguebats that
are directly after you kill Hoth in the Plague Quarter. So what you do to get the 10-Man
mobs to spawn. You set Naxxramas to 25-man. You go in and kill 25-man Hoth. You kill the
25-man Mutated Grubs and Plaguebats. Then you leave the instance. You set the instance
to 10-man. Then you reset all instances, then you go back in. All the beginning trash will
be dead and and Hoth will be dead but the Plaguebats and the Mutated Grubs will be alive
and will be on 10-man. You can kill them, then you can leave the instance, you can reset
the instance and the trash will be back up. Now if you went in and you killed Hoth on
10-man and you killed the bats and the grubs on 10-man and then you left the instance and
you reset it, and you went back in, they would be dead, and they would stay dead. So, this
is not intended. This is clever use of game mechanics. Now, if you wanted the 25-man to
happen you would go in on 10-man, kill him on 10-man, leave the instance, set it to 25-man,
reset the instance, go in kill the bugs, leave the instance, set it to 10-man, set it back
to 25-man, and reset the instance. So, every time you want to reset the instance you have
to set it to 10, and then set it back to 25 if you want the 25-man bugs, but the drop
rate is the same on 25-man and 10-man for cloth. Now, for this run, for Naxxramas, you
get 79 cloth on average per run and each run takes between 3 minutes and 3 minutes 30 seconds
on my priest. I don't know about other classes, but each class moves about the same speed.
Everyone has speed boosts, and in a race everyone ends up at the destination at about the same
time.
So, what's the most cloth you could get in an hour? If you farmed up over at Naxx, and
got your 790 cloth there, and then headed over to Aldu'thar and finished up half an
hour there and got 420 cloth from that, you would get over 1200 Frostweave Cloth in just
one hour of farming. That's almost 250 bolts of Frostweave Cloth. That's absolutely absurd.
So, I hope you enjoyed. Remember, that in the end, the secret of making gold is just
to Search. Craft. Post. Every Day. Have a good one guys.
