One of the last things turned in for the AQ gates to open is the wool bandages. These things can be found in large quantity from low level mobs. From my experience can sell for up to 1g per stack. Not too good for making money though.

I disagree with buliwyf. Here is the fastest way to get tons of wool. Especially when you are 15+.

1: Get a level 40-60 friend or guild member.

2: Go to Deadmines (must be level 17-24)

3: When inside change the loot to Free for All.

4: When inside Instance loot everything (even the miners they drop most of the wool)

5: When you are at the ship do not go under the Bridge that links up.

6: Make sure the 60 is satisfied (give him a tip!)

That is the way of getting tons of Wool (and Linen Cloth). At the end of each run you should get 80 pieces of Wool.

Although deadmines sometimes drops wool, usually it drops linen cloth for the majority of it. Id recommend someplace like Shadowfang Keep or purely finding wild mobs and just grind them. If you find a wild mob that drops wool, just continue killing them until the desired mount is attained. When you are in a group in an instance all the loot is shared. So if you dont have a higher leveled friend.... the best way is to just grind mobs outside.

This seems to be a very popular cloth. It always seem to run in short supply thus making it almost as expensive as Silk Cloth when stacks are available at the AH on my server.

Comment by jerry247

i think the pig guys in south barrens are the best place for straight wool. easy to get to and accessable to both factions

The best place for wool cloth is the Hillbrad Farm 50% silk cloth or Wool Cloth good luck

I also got this from a Riverpaw Bandit in the Stendel's Pond area of Westfall. He was a lvl 14 mob.

What has the most drop % of Wool, any suggestions for what to hunt to get loads of Wool cloth drops?

Comment by Thottbot

Bael Modan, southern Barrens.

Comment by Thottbot

In my experience, it seems that the most productive place to farm wool is DM.. If i do a solo run through there i usually leave with 5-6 stacks of the stuff.. Shuld be soloable by any level 40+...

Hope this helps :)

There is a quest given west of XR for Horde characters called 'Counter attack'. Basically what happens is, when you get the quest, a bunch of Kolkar Centaurs attack the place. There are a bunch of horde defenders that start attacking the centaurs. Just help the defenders and loot the bodies, but make sure not to grab the flag that the quest is after (it's pretty obvious... sticking out of the ground as an object, not on the body). After a little while, the Kolkar will retreat. Then just go back up to the quest giver and ask him where they are and they'll attack again. The drop rate's not that great, but the sheer number of them, and the fact that you have help from the 'horde defenders' (who keep coming back even if they're killed dozens of times) makes up for that. I got 30 linen cloths and 15 wool in about 10 minutes. If you appreciate this comment, feel free to donate wool cloth to Zath on the Llane server. =)

I have just got about 60 Wool Cloth in Ashenvale in 30 mn, in the Furlborg grotto west to Iris Lake. Sorry, but in French it is called : "Repaire des Crin-Chardons", they are Thistlefur in English. Have fun !

Comment by Thottbot

Usually for wool, I go to Darkshore and the furblog camps in Cliffspring falls/river has the best wool... the drops I believe are almost all the loot and some copper they're levels 16+ i believe. Hope this helps

Comment by Thottbot

best place is definately thistlefurs in ashenvale. i got 140 wool cloth in a little over and hour and did i mention my spec is resto? so if you can dps at all you'll one shot them and likely get even more wool. also got 13 greens and the full set of pages to the shredder opperating manual in the process.

Comment by Thottbot

I'm a 52 (fire) mage and If I need wool I just go to The Stockades, I get about 30-50 Wool each run, and 1 run takes like 15 min.
Hope this help :)

Comment by Thottbot

Farmed 200 Wool (10 stacks) in 2 hours (100/hr) from the Foulweald in southern Ashenvale. Used a 54 Mage. Also collected 3 stacks of Linen and 1 stack of Silk as well as tons of grays and a few greens. No downtime whatsoever except brief travels between the two main camps. Only downside was having to destroy the many pages that ate up inventory space.

Comment by Thottbot

I've found that a decent place to hunt for wool for lowbies is up near the mine in the northeast corner of the Barrens. The level 18-20 Venture Co. employees around there have a decent chance to drop quite a bit of wool for a lower leveled character.

After you advance a little, the best place (period) to farm wool on Horde side is around Thistlefur Hold. I worked up 100 pieces on my level 31 arcane mage in just under 2 hours. Bring food that can keep you well fed, though.

Comment by Allakhazam

where would be the best place to farm for this? I have been looking for it in redridge but only getting it like every 6 or 7 kills.

Comment by Allakhazam

In the list above of locations to farm wool cloth, I noticed there is a location called "Gnomeregan - Heroic Mode". What exactly is Heroic Mode?

Comment by Allakhazam

Depending on your level, you can farm the Deadmines for wool. All of the mobs there drop wool or linen. You can always sell the linen for money to buy more wool. This is what I did. I recommend being quite high in lvl for this, to make it quick and worth your time if you are soloing. Also the green drops are plentiful. Always a bonus.

Comment by Allakhazam

What are the top 3?

Comment by Allakhazam

I was farming for wool one day... (not the thing most people do, but I'm extremely optimistic about my tradeskills so I do it anyway.), and I was farming the Rot Hides of Fenris Isle (Silverpine Forest). They're supposed to drop it about 20% of the time, but I killed about 20 and only got 2... Am I just really unlucky?

EDIT: I meant to put periods in the subject. And I wish you could order these by drop rate. Maybe I'll mention that in the improvement thread thing.

Comment by Allakhazam

Yeah my advice is to get to at least level 22 and head to Hillsbrad and farm the farmers and Peons, it should grany adequate experiance and you get a really good drop rate. Looking for mount money? they sell for about 1-3g in AH.

Comment by Allakhazam

i go to black farthom deep(spelling) bfd..it doesnt drop really until you get past that named turtle. most the time they drop 2-4 of them. i get 2-5 stacks a run soloing it.

Comment by Allakhazam

They drop like it's rain. 3-5 wool cloth every 3rd kill. Love it.

Sells for about 1 gold per stack of 20. Nice $$$ maker.

Comment by Allakhazam

Farm Durnholde Keep in Hillsbrad (Sydicate Shadowmages, Rogues, and Watchmen) when the mobs there are green. They're really easy to kill and you get TONS of wool.

Mobs there are around lvl 22, so it's a good place to get wool when you're still a low level.

Comment by Allakhazam

it has the drop rate listed for you right there

Comment by Allakhazam

Tried to farm some wool to get my first aid up to speed. I hunted at bael modan in the Barrens, syndicate MOBs and farmers in Hillsbrad...all supposed to have 20+% drop rate...I must have killed at least 50 total MOBs and got no wool at all...finally gave up and bought at the AH

Comment by Allakhazam

im lvl 21 shamm and want to lvl my linen to make bags, i have lvl 125 tailoring i want to farm wool where is the best place to farm it for my lvl?

Comment by Moonstaker

Corroborating other comments: Bael Modan is great for farming Wool as Horde. Just take loops through it with occasional trips outside and you should get plenty. There is a small chance for silk here. If you're lower level, the Quilboars north of Taurajo will drop mixed linen/wool in their late teens, and the Quilboar north of RFK will drop wool if you're too low for Bael Modan. The Barrens is a Horde zone, so there is no concern for ganking.

Hillsbrad, starting with the Syndicate in Durnholde are alright for a mix of Linen and Wool, moving onto the Hillsbrad Fields npcs for a slightly higher wool chance. Hillsbrad is infamous for its ganking though, and mages like to aoe farm in Fields. I would just pick up wool if you're doing the other quests in this area, but avoid it otherwise.

If you're a Warlock+Tailor, a potential farm area is the Defias Enchanters in Duskwood. They have a mixed chance of wool and silk, but also a small chance to drop the recipe for Robes of Arcana for your Robe quest.

Best of luck with Wool :)
