Another good spot is in Felwood at the Timbermaw Furbolg camp in southern part of zone.

Comment by 8134

Mageweave cloth has a fantastic drop rate from the Dunemaul Ogres throughout western Tanaris, usually two per kill.

Comment by 6039

When farming for your Vibrant Plumes for your Darkmoon Faire Necklace, you'll find yourself with PLENTY of mageweave if you farm as early as 50 at the Harpy location in far northwest Ferelas.

Comment by 35213

These are all decent spots mentioned above, but none compare to the Pirates in Tanaris. They are closely grouped, and have a very fast respawn rate. As a 70 Mage I was able to farm over 15 stacks in an hour.

Comment by scyap

as a full T2 priest and assuming they drop at 100% rate, where would be the fastest?
i prefer large groups where i can use HOLY NOVA

Comment by 15585

As a 70 Warlock just dotting and kiting I got the best drop rate from the Dunemaul Ogres in Tanaris. I tried the Pirates and although the respawn rate is fast the drop rate just wasn't the greatest IMO.

The Ogres had a better drop rate and still a very fast respawn rate.

Comment by Indignation

The pirates in Tanaris were the best for me as a level 70 mage. Plus, they drop volatile rum, so you can get smashed while your grind.

Comment by tonik

Guy's It's much easier and faster to Farm them from the level 41-43 Furlbogs (or Whatever they are) in Feralas. I stumbled upon them last night looking for a quest, they drop alot, and respawn fast. Some drop 3-4 most drop atleast 2, and it doesn't require a level 60 or 70..In 10-15 minutes my 46 Shammy farmed 2 stacks.. no joke. Very rarely do they just drop money, but even if a few don't drop any, you make it up on the ones that drop 3 and 4 at a time.

For AE grinding: Tanaris Pirates.
For Single Kill: The Orges in Tanaris.

Comment by Bloodlot

For horde I have found the alliance mining cave located at 53,12 in Blasted Lands as a great source for Mageweave. If you are on a PvP server, alliance don't have any reason to go in there so you are able to just farm away.

Comment by 68704

Been to a load of spots, and if you have the damage, Sunken Temple is a great place to get mageweave, those little demon slaves off the trolls in the instance itself ive noticed drop 3 - 4 each two or three you kill. So a nice place to go to

Comment by 12703

My favorite place to farm Mageweave is Nethergarde Mine as Bloodlot mentioned above.
It's only available to Horde as the MoBs are friendly to Alliance which means there's almost never any competition. There's tons of MoBs in there and they're fairly easy to kill even at lower levels and super easy with AOE at high levels. They have a good Mageweave droprate, if you're a miner there's Mithril and Thorium veins, and there's a chance to get one of the Draenethyst Spheres for some extra greens and perhaps a Blue.

After the Shattering, my new favorite place to farm Mageweave for high level characters is Stratholme.
One 20 minute run (15 minutes of which was spent looting. ~~I'd kill for a "Loot All in vicinity" function~~) killing just the trash on dead side netted me 16 stacks of Mageweave. Wear a home city tabard and you can farm some rep while you're at it.

Comment by 68264

also dropped by venture co. shredder (count 1) found in Stranglethorn Vale

Comment by flameboy6184

Pretty lame that the horde get an NPC who sells some of this while the alliance doesn't.

Comment by 48238

If you're questing in hinterlands, the vilebranch trolls are a good sources as well. You have to kill 45 of them for a quest there...if you do that,you'll probably end up with 2-3 stacks. Not the best aoe spot though.

Comment by Shivacode

If you are lower level (40-42) and trying to grind mageweave for tailoring (which you will) the best spot to farm is the ogres in Feralas at Gordunni Outpost (north of Camp Mojache). They are 40-43 and give mageweave on a consistent basis, moreso than the gnolls, plus they have considerably less HP (especially the mages).

Comment by 90606

I have a 70 frost mage, and i found that farming the ogres was a very easy choice. The ogres (in tanaris, dunemaul) are more spread out so it wasn't very effective to AoE them too much, so if i needed to drink or go and grab a few guys i would just use my elemental and bring em to me.. throw out an arcane explosion or blizzard and get mageweave. i farmed about 15 stacks in an hour doing this constantly.

Comment by supergrover

The best place to farm mageweave is in the Hinterlands, the trolls drop a ton of it, especially the ones in Jintha'Alor. It's also profitable for a tailor because these trolls also drop the wildvine you use for the dreamweave set, which sells for 15g per chestpiece on my server. However, I believe most of the guys in Jintha'Alor are elite, so it helps if you're a higher level or get a friend to help you out.

Comment by TheRazielim

Jadefire Glen in Felwood, just north of Deadwood Village (the Southern one).

It's about 1min run from Emerald Sanctuary, huge groups fairly tightly packed, relatively quick respawn time. Only thing I really disliked was there's alot of casters, which makes it a bit of work to bunch them all up - but even that's good in the sense that even if you're a squishy Mage with crappy gear, you'll resist 90% of their damage and the melees don't hit that hard. So you can basically go as long as your mana bar lasts, and they respawn fast enough that you'll never be sitting around playing with yourself for too long.

Comment by 107458

The mauler orgs in taranis are Fast and easy to kill with fast respond time and have a 35.00% chance of 1-3 mage weave. in 30 min i farmed 4 stacks when i was level 55

Comment by crimsonhead

I got 145 Mageweave Cloth in about 1h and 15min by farming it off of the Nethergarde soldiers, officers, foreman and clerics. Also, like Bloodlot said, the alliance cave just north of the Nethergarde camp (around 53, 12) you can get tons of it. I was getting 2 to 3 mageweave per kill. I was doing this as a 70 undead lock (41/4/16) and my voidwalker..piece of cake

Comment by 24108

ALSO - you can pick up bolts of this and single items in desolace fishing the floating debris.

Comment by 35921

I was just doing the quest Vengance on the Northspring and the amount of mageweave was, to be honest, staggering.

Nice quiet place, good spot to farm rather than the hi-pop tanaris pirates.

Comment by Kounterfeit

just farmed 13 stacks from the vilebranch ppl in hinterlands did about 2 sweeps (1 sweep is up and down) in bout an hr so not to shabby there either

Comment by 125443

This is gonna sound off, but considering how useless Timbermaw rep is now, the Timbermaw furries in Azshara are really great for mageweave, and they have runecloth drops and lots of chest spawns as well. Slaughter the stupid pricks for the rep grind they forced you into years ago and get rich at the same time!

Comment by 35202

Were the pirates in Tanaris reduced in level in 2.3? I got Silk:Mageweave 2:1, useless to grind Mageweave there, now at least.

Comment by 126019

Wow, for alliance. Definately the Dunemaul Compound in Tanaris, you won't believe how much and how often they drop until you see it. As a 70 very easy to get multiple stacks per hour, especially if you're an AoE class.

Comment by Bizarre

T4 Feral Druid

I gave Sunken Temple a shot since the alt I'm farming for is a tailor/enchanter and the BoE greens from dungeons make for nice enchanting mats.

After 20 minutes of that I had 1 stack of mageweave and 2 greens so I hearthed to Shat, ported to Org and flew to Tanaris (7 minute flight).

I followed the circular edge of the Dunemaul compound killing the ogres one by one in cat form. Occasionally I would lap myself and there were no more ogres on the edge so I cut into the middle for a while and back out to my position on the edge. When my hearth was back up I left.

So thats about 45 minutes of killing ogres and I'm looking at 12 stacks of mageweave. Minus the 1 from Sunken Temple makes 11.

Comment by 163148

Yeah, I went to most of the places suggested here for farming, and the ogres were good, but I'd have to say, the best, and most FUN of all of the places is definetely the pirates in Lost Rigger Cove in Tanaris.
If you're high enough, mass killing is no problem at all, and even if not, you can pick them off. Not only is there a high drop rate for mageweave (way more than the ogres or bandits as far as my killing has shown me..), but you get rum! Who doesn't love rum?

Comment by 159774

Need to farm Mageweave Cloth? I found the best spot to be in Feralas (click for wowhead map of location). If you looked at the map you will see a zone circled; there are several harpies here and they are an awesome place to grind for Mageweave Cloth. The harpies are usually fast to kill and you can kill several in a row without a break, making this an effective farming area.

Comment by 165425

I tried all the places listed above and found that Jintha'Alor was the best for a variety of reasons.

1) No competition - On my server, at least, the Tanaris ogres and pirates are very popular places for grinding/farming. Jintha'Alor is invariably empty so you have all the spawns to yourself.

2) Higher level mobs - Since the trolls are 47-51, you get more mageweave per kill, on average, than you do on the mid 40s Tanaris mobs.

3) Mining/Herbing - I ended up with several stacks of mithril/truesilver/thorium in addition to the mageweave I was after. There are also plenty of ghost mushrooms in the cave for the herbalists.

4) Wildvine - These sell for 1-3g each on the AH and you can net 20+ per hour.

I made a continual circuit of the top two levels including the cave and, after two hours, I ended up with 24 stacks of mageweave.

Comment by 5845

This can proberly bring in some money for your mount if you haven't got that by the level you come by this cloth.

Comment by 165574

Sandisk requires these! :D

Comment by 56783

I recommend the sartyr camps in southern Felwood for farming Mageweave.

Map Location: http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=7109

They drop Felcloth which sells for 2g on my server, also lots of mobs within a small area.

Comment by 10561

Another excellent place to farm mageweave for frost mage is the Slagpit in Searing Gorge. All the mobs in there are melee, which makes it easy to kill plenty of mobs per pull. Though the slaves are not aggressive, I found it easy to just run around pulling them with ice lance and kill them in groups of 5 or 6 (to prevent them from running back).

Just do it from one end to the other killing all the slaves in lower floor and other mobs in upper floor and they should respawn fast enough, so you don't have to wait for respawns. Even though the slaves have lower drop rate for the cloth, the rate at which you can kill them more than makes up for it.

Comment by tigress

If you aren't an AoE class, the trolls in Jintha'Alor (Hinterlands) are a good source of single target kills. I got 6 stacks (120 Mageweave) in about 30 min as a lvl 70 rogue farming for a tailoring alt. Lots of Wildvine and Flask of Big Mojo, too.

Comment by 4324

In my experience, the best place to farm this is Lost Rigger Cove in Tanaris where the Southsea Pirates are.

Comment by 1212_

I've discovered a great place to farm up magewave.

The sandfury trolls outside of ZF in Tanaris are no longer elite, however their loot tables do not seem to have been updated. Mageweave (And sometimes silk) drops up to four at a time.

In addition, these trolls also have a fairly good drop rate of Flask of Mojo, which is much in demand by jewel crafters as it is the main component in Aquamarine Signet.

Comment by 186710

I farmed a whole bunch of mageweave as a 70 shadowpriest by wandering into the back entrance of Uldaman and dotting every mob in the room, was getting about 2 stacks every 10 mins.

Comment by 203617

I have had the most luck in the Azshara (48, 29) area there are TimberMaw that respawn fairly quickly and NO ONE else was around. Also those guys have some of the higher Drop rate listed on here.

Comment by 91578

On my server for some reason mageweave goes for around 6 g a stack, which is pretty insane. I tried the ogres in Tanaris and had pretty good luck, I used my 70 feral druid and beared em up and swiped em to death.

Comment by 131910

Feralas, upper NW in the ruins of Ravenwind, the harpies absolute best I've seen. in 30 minutes I got 3 stacks. Screw Tanaris, this be the spot.

Comment by 54077

lvl 70 lock. 1314 sd. i just run around dotting dunemaul ogres with corruption and siphon life. loot. hit the ah after an hour with ~12stacks

Comment by Lokifela

I'm really surprised this hasn't been mentioned (or maybe I missed it) but, Zul'Furrak (ZF) is my favorite place to go at 70 to farm. If you can handle the elites in there (which I'm sure most 70s can), you'll walk out with plenty of mageweave. It also has the benefit of being an instance so there is no competition. If you like to AoE grind, you also have the benefit of no leashing on mobs.

My favorite thing to do as a 70 Destro warlock, is ride around and gather up a huge group of trolls, ride to a clear spot (ie the beginning of the instance), and start using SoC as they approach. By the time they reach you, you should have a couple seeds up. Add as many seeds as you like (the pushback changes make this actually possible then pre-3.0) and either wait for them to detonate or speed up the process with another AOE(Shadowfury or RoF). Finish off the ranged mobs and voila, tons of loot to grab. :)

Lather, rinse, repeat

Comment by 11563

The best place I've found to farm Mageweave Cloth is in Feralas. The harpies in the northwest part of the zone drop a lot of it.

Comment by cywang86

As a feral druid who can pull half of ZF and kill them all without dieing, that's the best place to farm.
In 30 minutes, 2 resets, I got 8 stacks of mageweave cloths.
On top of that, I got 6 stacks of silk cloths, one stack of flask of mojos and bunch of boe greens that I can DE and sell for money. Really profitable.

Edit: As of cataclysm, ZF is a bad spot now as they have dismounting shots. It seems there isn't a great instance spot for this after the instance level change.

Comment by 270184

Update to the Garrison Armory (Horde only) post:

Exact entrance: 53.7, 12.0 (Eastern Kingdoms - Blasted Lands)

1 Hour results:
218 x Mageweave Cloth
4 x Random Greens (iLvl 46-50, LvlReq 41-45)
8 x Random Greys (2.06g worth)
1 x Aquamarine
2 x Mana Potion ()

I didn't check my starting gold but I'd guess the total haul at around 8g.

Summary:
I haven't tried the other locations, so I don't know how they drop. I chose this location because it had (up until now) the seemingly best reviews, so that's what I went with. Anyway, I ran counter-clockwise, or with the wall to your right side, the entire time and it went great. As a level 66 blood spec'd Death Knight I was able to kill in roughly 3 seconds average (2 moves usually). After each death/loot the next monster would usually never be more than 3 or so seconds movement. From what I've read, the pirates area is great for AoE folks, but as a melee master, this area is where it's at. I farmed 218 mageweave cloth in an hour if that says anything (10.9 stacks per hour) at a *semi* leisurely pace. By that I mean I was watching a movie and moving only with my mouse and a kill macro bound to scroll up/down. So yeah...great spot. 10/10 for farming mageweave.

Sub-note:The first time I farmed here for about an hour I only got 1 x green item, the second (this time that I'm posting about) I got 4. Just thought I'd put that out there for you to think about. Magewave the previous time was pretty consistent with this report as well.

(Please - If you're going to support wowhead at least write complete, legible reports like this. Include details and all of that. If you're going to spend an hour farming, why not spend 5m vs 5s writing up the report so that everyone else doesn't have to do it too, eh?)

Comment by 83915

Having read through the comments list I decided to kill two birds by getting Mageweave and farming Timbermaw Hold rep in northern Felwood.

I didn't have any Mageweave drop, though a minimal supply of Runecloth dropped. Obviously Stratholme would be the go, I just found it interesting that Runecloth was dropping. I recommend against Felwood for Mageweave.

Comment by 256283

Jintha' Alor is BY FAR the best place to farm these bad boys

I, being an achievment fiend, went for the bloodsail title, wrong move I know but now with Winter Veil upon us, I needed to level my cooking, so I decided to farm these things

I tried tanaris, dunemaul and southsea dudes, but it didnt go that well, so I thought, why not give Jintha a go, I'm glad I did, you get like 7 stacks for a sweep up the cliff. I didn't collect anything else so I'm no use for farming cash or whatever.

Comment by 22012

Jintha'Alor Mageweave Run
Glenlivet -- lvl 70 Feral Druid

time spent: 30 minutes (just enough to clear to the top -- skipped non-humanoids unless they were in the way)

cash from looting: 4g 21s 07c

80 x mageweave cloth (4 stacks)
43 x troll sweat (gak -- only stacks in 5)
12 x cured ham steak
11 x wildvine (about 9 g on my server)
12 x flasks of big mojo
2 x flasks of mogo
3 x moonberry juice
4 x superior healing pots
1 x greater mana pot
4 x tender wolf meat
1 x green (Hibernal Pants)
5 x misc greys (~2g)

Conclusions: pretty good place to loot mageweave. Bit of a run back to the mailbox (horde is much closer). Have lots of bag space or be prepared to toss troll sweat.

Comment by 49689

I use ZF to farm as a holy priest. I run in to the grave area, since it is highly packed, and open all the graves. I do it in 3 groups and nab 1.5-3 stacks per instance. I skip the rest though because it involves making casters stop casting and corralling everything. Holy Nova takes out all the zombies in a jiffy. You do get a bit of silk here too though

Don't forget to loot the graves too for more cloth!

Comment by pilot13

The Ogres gave me 3 stacks in 23 minutes (according to the in game /stopwatch) playing as a 69 protadin.

Easy, easy mageweave.

Comment by 287921

got over 20 mageweave cloths in scarlet monastery... mostly silk

Comment by 292129

I think the best place to farm mageweave would be at ZF. Lots of silk and mageweave and it only takes about half hour looting everymob. GL farming.

Comment by 302891

BY Far the BEST way to farm MAGEWEAVE CLOTH...as long as you can solo Sunken Temple or bring some friends. I am a lvl 80 Hunter

When you head into the instace take the left hallway straight ahead of you and go up the steps until you get to the big circle with mobs, and the mini-bosses for jammal the prophet. All you do is run the circle, kill the mini bosses, then run back down and leave, reset it then head back in and repeat.

Statistics for the run, this was just 3 of my runs

Time: Cloth Farmed:

13mins 48
13mins 84
14mins 68

It was supper easy for me since i am a hunter an was also specced into volley, but any class should be able to AOE them down fast only approx. 6k hp or less on most mobs.

Hope this Helps!~

Comment by kampo

I just farmed 200 mageweave cloth as a 80 warlock in Tanaris where all the ogres are at 41,56. Good spot

Comment by Psychoswordfish

One of the best places to farm mageweave is the Woodpaw Gnolls in Feralas (South of Camp Mojache) they drop 2-3 a mob and are easy to kill for a high lvl

Comment by 318097

I just looted around 17stacks of mageweave in Garrison Armory. Took me about an 1hr 15mins or so. The cool thing about this place is..the mobs dont run away in fear at low health.

Comment by 322508

Oodama has it right! Just went in as a lvl 80dk. 45 minutes of killing got me this:

11 stacks of mageweave.
5 random greens
8 gold 27 silver looted
7 superior healing pots
2 greater mana pots

This was without looting food or grays. Not too bad, and you never run out of mobs to kill. The place is so big.

Garrison Armory in Blasted Lands is the place to go for mageweave.

Comment by Allenallen

No one has gotten the true best place to grind for these. Head into Black rock mountain with empty bags, go down as if you were going into Lower BRS then when you get into the quarry, (not inside the instance yet) kill the slaves (they are yellow) half of them have 1-3 mageweave, and there are a lot of them quick re spawn and NO competition

Comment by Alecat

Dungeon wise, Zul'Farrak seems so far to be a decent place to farm mageweave. Because you can mount in there, you can pull many trolls quickly and there seems to be plenty of mobs, especially if you keep opening all of the shallow graves near Witch Doctor Zum'rah to kill the undead trolls in them until they no longer respawn. You'll even get some silk to boot.

Edit: I didn't need silk anymore so I decided to try Sunken Temple during one farming session. I only ran the area around the troll minibosses and then the undead trolls in the room with Jammal'an the Prophet. I completely skipped even killing the dragons up to Jammal'an.

I didn't time myself nor think to keep track of gold, but after two runs of just these two areas, I ended up with 124 mageweave cloth and 5 greens.

Comment by 321529

how much can it sell for?

Comment by Ebonii

http://www.wowhead.com/?object=128308#contains

These graves are an excellent source of this cloth, I can get two per loot of a grave, and up to 4 per spawn - usually one or two, never had any more than that myself. They are the graves outside Witch Doctor Zum'rah.

Comment by Sardoche

I have read all 91 comments here and make myself a route. It contains 7 different maps. I'll try them one by one because i want my flying carpet soon! thx and cheers

Comment by 342015

15 MINUTES AND 24 MAGEWEAVE TANARIS WAY GOOD TY GUYS

Comment by 342015

just got back from trying the pirates I MUST SAY not nearly as good farming as the orges over to the west but all in all good harvest for the short time i put into it thanks

Comment by LuntiX

A great place I found to farm Mageweave is the mine near Nethergarde Keep if your horde. Nearly every miner will drop 1-3 mageweave and there are a lot of miners. Just watch out on PVP realsm because this is an alliance area.

Respawn Rate is really fast here too!

Comment by 361087

Another great place is to just have a friend run you through zul'farrak. in one run wich ranged between 10-20 minutes i got 5-7 stacks of mageweave. You can also get great xp if your a lvl 40-50

Comment by 362519

The cave in north Blasted Lands is great. Horde only, but on my priest I got 160 mageweave in about an hour, also dinged from grinding the mobs. Easy to kill and respawn very quickly.

Comment by 380141

At the Dunemaul Compound in Tanaris, I farmed for about an hour and a half and received:

Mageweave Cloth - 200
Cured Ham Steak - 16
Moonberry Juice - 10
Grey Items - 9
Superior Healing Potion - 6
Greater Mana Potion - 3
Green items - 3
OOX-17/TN Distress Beacon (Starts a Quest) - 1
8 gold

I would like to note that this farming was done on a level 62 character, and that a level 80 would have higher numbers of mageweave in a shorter period of time. The respawn rate on the ogres is quite fast. Also, if you care about your fellow player, try to avoid killing the named mob in the small cave at the rear of the compound. It's a quest mob of very little value to you, and has a fairly long respawn time. Don't inconvenience people who are questing where you're farming!

In addition, there was a Truesilver Deposit in the center of the compound from which I received Truesilver Ore x 3 and an Aquamarine.

The ogres drop nothing but Mageweave. No silk! <3

It's worth noting that this area is very good for long periods of farming because of the low frequency of vendor trash drops, which is important for long farming sessions in that your inventory will not fill up if you decide to use auto loot to save time.

Happy farming!

Comment by tisai

If you are a moderately geared hybid lvl 80 class with some kind of aoe, I would recommend farming ZF for Mageweave cloth. On either my ret pally or boomkin, I simply mount up and aggro mobs as I sprint through the whole instance. About halfway through, you will get dismounted but if you toss yourself a couple of heals, or in my case, keep light or HoTs up, you will not get past 80%. Just keep running and make your way back to the front of the instance and LoS the mobs by a convenient wall. Top yourself off and then AoE them all down. After looting those mobs, make your way to Witch Doctor Zum'rah's area. Click every single one of the graves until you have sufficient mobs to AoE down.

I gathered about 8-10 stacks of cloth for about 10 minutes of relatively easy work. When your bags are full, just zip over to Gadget to offload and you will be ready for another mass pull.

Comment by 397443

Zul farrak is my favorite place to farm mageweave. As prot pally u can pull like half of mobs in the instance and kill em rather fast. 2 pulls , 10 min and about 60-80 mageweave

Comment by injunuity

watch yourself in the blasted lands, near the ogre spawns, there's two mob's you need an item for to kill, otherwise they don't get below 1HP remaining. can't recall the mob name, will update when i find it again. i agree on the felwood, and Feralas points, the mobs don't spawn fast enough to really be worth farming. best to bring in a toon that's got skinning, and do that while waiting on the harpy's to come back.

Comment by huldu

Mageweave can be a pain to get lots of, especially if you're alliance. The best place to farm mageweave as horde is in blasted lands near the alliance camp. The second best place i found was sunken temple, not too great but what can you do if you're alliance? The thing with ZF is that they drop silk, you do not want silk if you're farming mageweave. I am going to give ZF another try today since i need more mageweave anyway.

I have not tried hinterlands so i'll check that out.

Comment by 390797

Clear the Hall of the Cursed in Sunken Temple. I've gotten 30-55 mageweave in 10minutes by clearing the hall everytime. Run outside, reset the instance, do it again, and again...

Comment by Otium

I beg to differ on the droprate for Dustbelcher Ogres.....just killed 21 and got 1 yes, ONE piece of mageweave......stunning droprate of 4,8 %

Comment by 452349

Either I am really unlucky, or Blizz lowered the droprate of mageweave in the Garrison Armory! (Blasted Lands)

I sliced through roundabout 200 mobs there and got 2-3 mageweave droped by approx. 50 mobs.
So thats not the promised droprate of 45% ;)
More to 25% or less.

Comment by dgsv

How to farm mageweave:

1) Go to Zul'farrak.
2) Go thru trash mobs (for biggest profit - you can aggro them as well) till zombies room.
3) Before start spawning zombies, kill trash following you. (look at 2-nd point)
4) Put on yourself some buff, which decreases damage (if needed).
5) Spawn all zombies in room, using graves.
6) When all zombies spawned - kill them
7) Turn on autoloot - and loot all mobs you've killed.

Possible to get:

1 - 4 Mageweave cloth.
Schematics.
Flask of Mojo - Quests / Jewelcrafting.
Some green trash, which you can DE.

9) Get out from Z'F, "Reset instances", and repeat.

Comment by waalken

I was farming in Tanaris and it is still a good spot for mageweave. I had two stacks in 45 min. Just an update to some of the older comments saying Tanaris is not a good place..

Comment by 378734

If you can, the best place to get it quickly is the Scarlet Monastery. Got 23 in less than 30 minutes (and 2 levels) :).

Comment by AleksanderK

A great spot for these are the ogre`s at dunemaul compound in tanaris coords 40,50, if you are at 70-80 you can pretty much oneshot these level 44-45`s
they drop everything from 1-3, and you can stack up 4-5 stacks in 10 minutes,
i just start one place, and go around in a circle, then im done with the circle, i gotta wait about 30-60 seconds for a respawn.

Well, for those of you who loved farming ZF for mageweave (or anything else for that matter), be aware that you can no longer mount up and pull the whole place at once. The troll casters, which are in just about every group in the instance, now cast Dismounting Blast on anyone on a mount. As far as I know it's not resistable.

Comment by 551008

For Horde players, confirming that the Garrison Armory (Blasted Lands) is a great place to farm Mageweave Cloth.

No Alliance competition and the mine is huge so respawns aren't an issue. Plus, if you're a Miner there are Mithril and Thorium nodes in the mines as well.

As a 58 Unholy Death Knight I was able to farm exactly 100 Mageweave Cloth in a little under 25 minutes. Pretty efficient as Mageweave is about 50g/stack on Altar of Storms.

Comment by Conal

As a feral druid who can pull half of ZF and kill them all without dieing, that's the best place to farm...

And the 2010 ROFLMFAO Award for Unnecessary Self-promotion While Wasting Your Time goes to...yet another moron patting himself on the back while misspelling his claim to fame.

Comment by Conal

I'm glad that I came here to check for better places to farm mageweave cloth. After reading through most of the advice (a lot of repetive stuff posted here), I spent 2 hours inside Garrison Armory Mine on my 80 shadow priest (my SWP finger got quite the workout, lol) and stopped once I filled-up one of my 20-slot Frostweave bags. FYI, that's 400 mageweave cloth for my lower-level warlock's tailoring, just the amount I'm going to need.

Thanks for the tips...farming here was worth the time (2 complete clearings of the mine with plenty of respawn kills as I retraced my steps back through some areas) and the respawn rate seems very favorable. No resets, no elites, no spell interrupts, just good old-fashioned farming that you could do all day (if you really have the time, lol).

Good luck and happy farming ya'll :D

Drops Jinta'Alor:

270 Mageweave Cloth /hour
38 Wildvine /hour
6 Uncommon Items /hour
3 Profession recipe's /hour

(Farmed with a level 65 Frost Death Knight; no competition in the area; cleared from bottom to top; 1 swipe = 30 min; stats based on 5 runs of 30 minutes)

Comment by 570758

I think Felwood is a good farming place too.

Comment by Synaxis

For Horde, best place by FAR to farm this stuff is in the Garrison Armory and Nethergarde Keep in the Blasted Lands. The respawn rate in the Armory is perfect and the drop rate is amazing. I was able to farm up 6 and a half stacks of mageweave cloth in a little under 45 minutes, and that was only one run through half the armory and back and a brief run around Nethergarde Keep with breaks to alt+tab to msn and refill drinks.

Honestly, if you're Horde and high enough level to take 47-50 mobs easily, there is no reason you should farm anywhere else. Killing in the Armory won't flag you. Killing in Nethergarde Keep will, but it's always empty on my server so that isn't a problem for me.

Comment by overneathe

Some more stats on Zul'Farrak. And more specifically the graves that give you loot and spawn elites all around Witch Doctor Zum'rah. You can try and do the entire instance but you won't make it in one pull.. The mobs dismount you and drop healing totems which, in enough quantities, can't actually be outDPSed.
What I did was enter instance -> Go to graves, click all of them -> AoEing the mobs down -> running out and reseting. Managed to do 6 runs if I recall correctly.

For 40 minutes of doing only the graves and the few mobs that I'd accidentally pull while running around as DK frost tank I managed to farm up:
220 Mageweave Cloth
200 Silk Cloth
16 Green Items
3 Aquamarines
1 Star Ruby
30 Gold in cash with 6 gold repairs for the entire 40 minutes
About 60 grey equipable items
Incredibly high quantities of unequipable items that don't really vendor for a lot
About 20 different health and mana potions
Many, many foods and drinks

Comment by 605286

Nethergarde Keep is for sure one of the best places to go. I sent 30 mins there and got over 200 Mageweave cloth, plus about 5 greens. The spawn rate is also very fast, by the time I would clear everything they had already re-spawn where I started

Comment by 478581

After trying many places today, I found Zul'Farrak to be the easiest place to farm mageweave.

You can ride your mount. So faster movement.

It has a more simple layout. To be honest, I get lost in Sunken Temple and I spent too much time killing small groups of mobs.

As a level 80, I found it very easy to aggro very large groups of mobs in Zul'Farrak and aoe the crap out of them.

One run through the dungeon gave me 131 pieces of mageweave, 70 silk, and a bunch of greens for disenchanting or selling. A second run gave me 133 mageweave and 73 silk. The runs are very quick if you're 80. So two quick runs netted me 264 mageweave.

If you choose to go there, don't forget to loot the sand graves with all the zombies. The graves give you mageweave, plus what you loot off the zombies.

Comment by 560755

I decided to run Zul'farrak to farm mageweave for my alt, it's not the best place but it is easy and convenient. I managed to farm 82 mageweave in 37 minutes. I got about 60 silk in the process so I had old mats I could use to make stuff for guildies.

Comment by 527469

I really like farming Zul'Farrak for mageweave. It's right next to Gadgetzan (you have a bank, mailbox, inn) and almost all of the enemies are humanoid. The problem is that the trolls also drop silk (this is not actually a problem if you are farming this for a tailor; simply skip whatever you had planned for silk farming and kill two birds with one stone here). This dungeon is easier to get to than the Sunken Temple (ugh) and it has more humanoid enemies.
Remember to open the graves in Zul'Farrak too, the zombies drop cloth as well (you may not want to open them ALL at once, a very large number of them can overwhelm even a lvl 80 player).

Comment by 531034

The easiest way to get there is to fly to Stonard and walk west, then south into the Blasted Lands

Not really, much easier to take a blasted lands portal in any of the major cities.

Comment by 613319

Horde: Blasted Lands - Garrison Armory

Toon:80 Death Knight (Blood)

Time: 1 Hour 0 Minutes.

Mageweave Cloth: 172 Pieces.
4 Gold in raw drops.
11.5 Gold from trash.
Approximately 30g worth of greens. (D/E)

-Bonus-
11 Thorium Ore
10 Mithril Ore

I have farmed all of the locations previously mentioned. I find this place to be the best for the Horde. Minus the ranged mobs located here, you can easily kite most of the cave and AoE everything down. I used Pestilence (With no dots on targeted mob for zero damage) every 1-3 mobs to keep them on me. Not once did I have a melee mob evade on me.

I highly recommend this location. Please remember; "Random is random".

Comment by FauxShizzle

The trolls in Zul'Farrak can drop 3-4 at a time, especially the zombie trolls. Each reset, i average around 80 mageweave.

Comment by 627662

In all honesty i've tried the gnolls in Feralas, they suck. I tried the Vilebranch trolls in Jintha'alor in the Hinterlands, they work. I spent about an hour and a half last night farming and i got more than 15 stacks. They great thing is that the zone is so expansive and large you can go on killing them all the way to the top and by the time you're there respawns have already came so you can kill them on the way down. I also recieved two blue leatherworking patterns (exact same funny enough) a few green and a LOT of troll mojo.

Comment by 571648

Tanaris is exelent to farm this.

In the little human spots at the west of the Steamwhedle Port and also in the pirate village.

Fenrir, Lvl 80 Survival Hunter

Time: 1 hour 22 minutes 36 seconds.

Mageweave: 214
Money drop: 13.6
113 gold from all the epics, blues and greens that dropped

Profit: 553g

Simply the SV aoe farming.
Frost trap (so no mobs can get to me that fast, and i have entrpment, so it was easy), explosive trap, MD to pet, thunderstomp and bad attitude to hold aggro and help with the AoE, and volley. Dead.

Pet: Crocolisk

Comment by Lothrik

The drop rate for Mageweave Cloth from Dunemaul Ogres seems to be nerfed, WoWHead claims 49% chance of 2-3, but after killing 500 or so Dunemaul Ogres I only had 200 Mageweave Cloth.

Comment by 650045

Ok I've tried many places to farm for mageweave and found non to be satisfactory. As I was working towards my loremaster I discovered that...

Northspring harpies are by far the best mob to farm for mageweave cloth. They're in the north west part of Feralas.

Commonly drop 1-3 cloth per kill, lots of them around and low traffic area.

Comment by 613278

Tanaris is just great!
TY GUYS!

Comment by 571648

Although I've had better results with the Cave in Blasted Lands, the one next to Nethergarde Keep.

Comment by Morbanth

I got 336 Mageweave Cloth by doing 5 resets of the Sunken Temple as a level 80 protection paladin. Don't try to pull the whole instance at once, though - the little non-elite demons also drop mageweave but they reset if you run too far from their starting position. The Elites won't reset. Took about 1 hour, maybe a bit more before I found the optimal route.

Edit: I meant the upper tier and the stairways where the trolls are.

Comment by Sumbelina

I just ran Sunken Temple with my 78 Warlock (Demonology specialization) and got 92 mageweave for my troubles. It took me a little under an hour (including time spent getting lost). Well worth it. :D

Comment by 694684

As the drop rates suggest in the "dropped by" tab, the Garrison Armory is the best place I've found to farm Mageweave. After just under an hour I managed about 300 mageweave cloth. Also something worth note is the drop rate compared to how fast I kill things. As a mage I've found it easiest to round up the monsters and drop them all at once at my feet. However, the drop rate was horrible with this method. When I killed everything one by one, the drop rate skyrocketed for me. I've noticed this when farming other things such as motes or essences. I'm not sure if it's just chance or if there's some sort of time ratio going on for drops.

Comment by SiliconX

Just wanted to add what I found was a great spot to farm Mageweave Cloth:

Jintha'Alor in Hinterlands.

I actually went there because it was suggested as a good spot to farm the Hinterlands OOX distress beacon and figured I might as well pick up any Mageweave I found since it sells for a decent price. Clearing bottom to top once (and finally getting the beacon in the cave at the top), I gathered 105 Mageweave Cloth and it only took about 10 minutes (L80).

And by the time I had cleared the top, the bottom had respawned, so it seems you could do this pretty much non-stop. What I found rather nice in terms of Mageweave is that the mobs never dropped Silk Cloth or Runecloth as I've found other mobs to do. Mobs there dropped between 1-4 Mageweave each and only Mageweave.

Happy hunting!

Comment by Zenia

As of 4.0.3, the Garrison Armory is no longer a place to farm mageweave. All of the mobs are completely wiped out and the cave is now speckled with Orgrimmar faction guards called Okril'lon Defenders.

Comment by 697080

Now when Stratholme is level ~45 I wanted to see how much Mageweave I could get in both sides of Stratholme. The rules was simpel I was going to loot everything just for fun to see how much gold each side would give me.

Started of with the Baron side This run gave me a total of 80 Mageweave cloth and around 40g in junk, greens/blues the run took around 25 min to do. Not that great with the Mageweave drop on that side.

On to the Living side the total drop was 160 Mageweave cloth, the gold earned from the loots was around 40g but on the other hand I got two Righteous Orbs which goes for around 100g on my server. Total time spent in there, around 30 min

Hope that helps someone that's totally confused were to farm some Mageweave cloth now in 4.0.3 I know I was ;)

Comment by Midoki

A good place to farm them passed patch 4.0.3 is Scholomance. One run got me a full 16slot bag full as well as other choice items and a lucky BoE drop.

Comment by 697099

As far as patch 4.0 felwood doesnt compare to tanaris' dunemaul ogres this is definetly the place to farm this

Comment by Valkaneer

Well I just left ZF to go down to the mines in blasted lands (because I rememebered its where i farmed last time).... Well its now changed and all the guys are dropping Runecloth and it seems they are different mobs than I remember. Horde also control part of the tunnel to now, so its different.

Just letting people know so you dont leave a area just to go down to a new area that no longer gives Mageweave

Comment by 13674

Post-cataclysm I still feel like Zul'farrak is the best place to get mageweave. With an aoe-capable class, plenty of bag space (or a few trips to the vendor) plus having auto-loot turned on you can especially farm the zombies in the room with Witch Doctor Zum'rah.

Just grab as many as you think you can handle from looting the graves and kill then loot away. You will get a lot of vendor trash so you can either destroy or vendor if you love the extra bit of money like me.

Since the slight level change of this place I have so far gotten ONLY mageweave from the mobs, have yet to see silk or any runecloth.

Edit - Correction, I did loot one silk cloth from a grave, but you still find almost only mageweave from the mobs.

Comment by 729564

MAGEWEAVE FARMING IN CATACLYSM

I'm having real trouble farming this post-Cata. The Dunemaul ogres and the Felwood furbolgs both seem to have had their drop-rate lowered considerably, and the alliance mine in the Blasted Lands now drops runecloth, not mageweave (though at an amazing rate if you're farming that too...) The trolls in Jintha'Alor no longer drop it since the Hinterlands level range got dropped, now they drop silk and a little wool.

Going by the locations of the old farming spots and the level range they were at the time, mageweave drops from mobs in the 40-55 range. Post-cataclysm zones in that range are the Eastern Plaguelands, Thousand Needles, Badlands, Felwood, Tanaris, Searing Gorge, Burning Steppes, Un'goro Crater, Winterspring and the Swamp of Sorrows. Of course cloth only drops from sentient humanoids who actually wear clothing, so I'll need to find a good source of humanoid mobs in one of those places.

I'm not high level enough to try farming Zul'Farak yet, though I suspect that will still work well.Next I'll try farming the pirates at the east end of Thousand Needles, and if that doesn't work I'll check what's happening in the rest of the zones in terms of humanoid mobs.

EDIT: Not much luck with the Thousand Needles pirates. 25 kills, giving 9 silk and 5 mageweave. Not a terrible drop rate for cloth overall, but at an average level of 40 these mobs weren't quite high enough to deliver a solid supply of mageweave. Maybe it takes 45-50? That's the range the furbolgs and ogres used to be at for reliable mageweave drops.

EDIT 2: Better luck with the Thousand Needles' Twilight's Hammer cultists. They're all level 45s and mageweave is the only cloth they drop. I got 20 mageweave from 41 kills. That's the best rate I've found in Cata. Unfortunately the cultists are spread quite far apart so the kills don't come very quick. I would still guess this gave me a better drops per hour than the furbolgs or ogres but I don't have any numbers to back that up. Tomorrow I'll check out the Badlands to see if I can find anything better.

Comment by Vonara

With the advent of the Cataclysm, Zul'Farrak's outdoor counterpart is filled to the brim with level 45 trolls. Those with a flying mount, or other means of bypassing the instance portal will be faced with literally thousands of trolls that can be AoE'd down. The trolls drop no loot other than Mageweave and money, and the VERY rare Moonberry Juice, thus allowing for even Auto-loot to perform to it's greatest potential here.

Comment by 732170

Seeing as cata hit im sure there are others trying to get their alts professions up to date like me. So heres the deal.

SM-Cath. i did a few runs in there, on average 1 stack per run. Can be soloed by a 52 lock.

Pirates Tanaris. IMO this spot is dead. the pirates are now very spread out making AoE not viable, unless you gather. There is 1 spot where there is a nice AoE possibilty. if you go to Lost Rigger Cove. however as 85 feral you can clear it out before respawns and there is also a lower drop chance of these guys it seemed. Im getting bout 10 mageweave of these guys per clear.

I went to the cave in blasted lands, it only dropped runecloth over the course of about 15min so i left. (got 2 stacks of runecloth there).

I tried Zul Farak non instanced. in the majority of the instance mobs cant really be AoEed. HOWEVER there is one bit which is sweet. go to the place where the executions take place there are bout 100+ trolls there just waiting to be AoEed. The drop rate is bout every 3rd mob. however there is a lot of junk, some moonberry juice, a few greens and about 4s per mob.

Ill update this post with the ogers and further info bout the other spots later.

As an idea can someone maybe say how they are doing with drops in Scholomance and Stratholme?

Comment by ailen789

The Garrison Armory located at about 53, 12 in the blasted lands is now called Nethergarde Mines. The level 55-56 NPC's there DO NOT drop Mageweave. They drop Runecloth. I farmed there today with my level 85 Tauren Shaman for 15 minutes. The following is what I collected:
38 Runecloth
2 green drops, both cloth armor
1 grey drop, trash
5 Major Healing Potion
1 Major Mana Potion
2 Alterac Swiss
1 Morning Glory Dew
1 Flawless Draenethyst Sphere, this item begins a quest (blue item)
2 Imperfect Draenethyst Fragment, this item begins a quest (green item)

Comment by Rosebeef11

imo Zul'Farrak is the best place to farm em' (85 Rogue)

just get lots of groups then just aoe, they are easy to kill

Also, open the graves, they give some gold and gray things that can be sold; when u open the graves some zombies come out, kill them, they give Mageweave Cloth too (plus, they dropped an Epic staff (Warden Staff) to me :D i was so happy about it xD)
Making this 2 times (reseting the instance) in about 40mins i've got 15stacks of Mageweave Cloth, my Staff ^_^ and like 100g

Comment by Zarindra

A very good place for farming mageweave cloth is Stratholme. Extremley easy to do alone. Usually 4 cloth per kill, managed to get 176 cloth in 45 mins :)

Comment by badassninjadude

As of Cata, I found the best place to farm Mageweave is in Stratholme. Almost all the mobs drop it, undead and humanoid. Very easy to farm a lot, quickly.

Comment by 758531

The winter furbolgs in winterspring right outside timbermaw hold seem to drop alot more cloth than the ones in felwood

Comment by 717014

Whereabouts would one farm this post-Cata? Seems all the good farming spots are gone :(

Comment by Pastoral

Azshara is too low to have Mageweave. I killed humanoids all over the zone and the only cloth they dropped was Linen.

Comment by Chronoreaver

Zul'Farrak, since the Cataclysm, is an amazing spot for Mageweave.

All I do is run in, aggro all the trash from the start to GazRilla's pool and AoE it all down and loot. This usually takes about 5-10 mins plus looting, and then I head out, reset and go it again.

Tons of Greys to vendor and lots of greens/blues to DE/AH. With the addition of Azeroth Flying, the trip back to Gadgetzan to unload/bank is faster than ever too!

Comment by 463591

Post Deathwing - the best place I have been able to find Mageweave cloth are from the Pirates in Tanaris. Southsea Musketeer's and Strongarm's around the camp in area 69/54. Most of the time they drop 2-3 per kill.

As a level 59 rogue, my kills were not instant but pretty quick nonethless and I had no downtime as respawn rates seemed to be seconds between.

After 1 hour of farming here are some Stats:

446 Kills
204 Mageweave
17g 84s (Just Looted from the pirates) // 25g 63s (total gold including vendoring crap)
2230 Rep with Gadgetzan (892 rep with the rest of the Goblin Cities)
1 -14 slot backpack

Happy Farming!

Comment by Karmandie

For those who are farming mageweave in Tanaris, the Dunemaul Compound seems to be a hot spot. Nearly every ogre is dropping 1-3 pieces. After clearing the camp once I've ended up with 38 pieces, and the camp is already spawning again. Don't bother wasting your time with the pirates; they aren't dropping cloth anywhere near that frequently.

Comment by 517860

Post Shattering grinding zone.

Now I would have to say that the best place to grind this stuff is In zul'farrak, No not the instance, go there and fly up and over the instance door and you can go into the uninstanced zone. there are TONS of trolls in there that all drop mageweave cloth. farmed myself 4 stacks just from the stairs.

They respawn quite fast on the stairs.

Comment by 228447

I recommend Zul'Farrak if your a lvl 85 with some AOE power. On my death knight I farmed 9 stacks in one full run of ZF. I trained a large portion of the zone and used death and decay + blood boil AOEs. I made sure to include all the shallow graves and the mobs they contain. Each grave can also drop mageweave. I also got several handfuls of green and blues to disenchant.

Comment by APhenox

Post 4.0.6 a good place is the camp around 24, 50 in Winterspring.

A _better_ place is the Dark Iron dwarf slavers/slaves in Searing Gorge. Enter the cave around 42,54 and follow the wall, they respawn pretty quick and drop (roughly, average) one piece per kill for my tailor.

Just did another sweep, portal to portal, from the door inside the cave at 37,44 ... I got 42 pieces. (Your mileage may vary.)

Comment by 792795

So just went all around Azeroth today trying different spots and heres what I found:

Felwood was okay, had the most luck with mobs just north of winterspring with about 1-3 drops per 4-5 kills

Tanaris was good, the pirates were meh, but the ogres were dropping 1-3 every 3 kills on average

If you are able to to fly over the portal into the non-instanced Zul'Farrak then you are in luck because the trolls were dropping 1-3 cloth every 2 kills. This also went by very quickly because if you go to the back where the huge altar-temple thing is, on the stairs and below there is just a bunch of non-elite trolls all bunched up and waiting to be AoE'ed. The other thing that was nice was that every about 5 kills 1-2 silk would pop up, so if your around that 175-190 range in tailoring that is helpful.

IMO Zul'Farrak Non-Instanced was the best not only because of the drop rate but because of the speed at which the farming could be done. Killed the entire portion i was talking about around the stairs in about 15 min with a 67 rogue with no AoE. I got 58 mageweave and 13 silk and by the time i was done they had mostly respawned. So there's a helpful hint

Comment by Nawulf

I killed the dunemaul ogres at 85 and just within 15mins I had 5 stacks of mageweave cloth + some greens and silvers earned. It's easy to get there and works for both factions.

Comment by 436203

As a human I tried tanaris to farm for Mageweave Cloth but I had better chance in Stratholme as after 4.0.3 the its level changed and the trash mobs mostly drop it.

Comment by 795740

Zul'Farrak is still the best, but only because of the quantity of monsters. On actual drop rate, it really isn't amazing. I got like 25 cloth from killing everything on and below the stairs, which must be like 100 trolls.
It's more like 1-3 cloth every 4th or 5th kill.

It's fun as a higher level tank, since you can gather all of them up at once and have 40 trolls pummeling you but doing almost nothing.

Comment by Oblict

The suggestions above this comment are not really up-to-date as i.e. the mobs in Blasted Land cave dont drop mageweave cloth or just because of zone level changes. Today I've found the best place to farming Mageweave cloth in WoW for me. It's located in Tanaris, near Zul'Farrak and it's called Sandsorrow Watch. You can find there zombie trolls and shallow graves (nearer to mountains). So take your AoE alt/main, pull zombies, open those graves up and you should find a lots of these cloths.

In one hour i got:

- 244 Mageweave cloths
- 84 Silk cloths
- many greens which turned into: 18 vision dusts, 8 dream dusts and some essences.
- ? golds

So if you want to level your tailoring and have enchanting on whatever char to disenchant already made stuff from leveling tailoring, you can very easily earn quite big amount of money. Don't bother to go farm these stuff to ZF, i found 3 mageweave cloths in 20 mins, it's not worthy. GL

Comment by malteloft

A good spot for mageweave is in Felwood, up by the Talonbranch Glade.
The Irontree Chopper (for alliance) has a fairly high drop rate. I farmed 160 cloth here in approx. 30 mins.
I think horde can go here as well, since the Irontree Choppers are fighting the alliance flagged Talonbranch Defenders.

Comment by Trakers

A good place nowadays is Stratholme, the Scarlet part. Got about 150 / run + orbs for crusader you can sell for a good price

Comment by Ottius

Zul'Farrak was the best farming place for Mageweave since level 70. And it's still is. You can use your mount there, which is a huge time saver.
400 Mageweave Cloth in 35 minutes as a lvl 85 Ret Pally. Plus, 80 mojos, 17 greens and 6 blues to disenchant.

Just don't forget to open the graves.

Comment by sivla

1-525 tailoring..cost 12,780g. Alliance player, can't be doing with mindless pointless grinds in over populated zones since cataclysm launched..

Comment by Marloss

After reading through the latest comments here, it seems that both outdoor Zul'Farrak and the dungeon itself are both amongst the best places to farm Mageweave Cloth, so I tested both for comparison.

Zul'Farrak outside: 74 Mageweave Cloth (5.1034483 / minute)
One full clear, 14 minutes and 30 seconds, included looting. I ignored all the basilisks and the trolls in the huts alongside the mountains.

Weaknesses:
- Mobs are quite far away from each other and don't come in packs, so effectivity isn't very good.
- No opportunity of running around gathering up all the mobs and take them down in one go, as they are not in a dungeon and thereby abide normal rules.
- Drop chance is overall not that great.

Strengths:
- Has got a large staircase that contains probably around one hundred mobs, which is the one and only exception to the otherwise poor density.
- Staircase has a chance of dropping Sheepshear Mantle, which could be sold on the AH (dropped twice in two staircase clears in a row). Not entirely sure whether this only was good RNG, though.

Zul'Farrak dungeon: 123 Mageweave Cloth (7.9783784 / minute)
One clear, 15 minutes and 25 seconds, included looting. I ignored several bosses, only running through the circle (look at the dungeon map if you don't understand). Watch out for Dismounting Blast, it does exactly as it says. I was victim to it very early, which had its consequences on the effectiveness. I had issues with Swipe with it hitting for significantly less than it should when I spammed it after having rounded up all the mobs (I suspect it's subject to diminishing returns on the amount of mobs in proximity). This also had consequences on effectiveness. As a last point, the corpses of the mobs seem to despawn not too long after having been killed, so I didn't get to loot all of them. After having killed all the mobs I had rounded up, I went to the zombie graves, killed all the zombies, and proceeded to loot them and the graves.

Weaknesses:
- Dismounting Blast.
- Could be necessary to kill mobs in smaller packs.
- Short despawn timer on the corpses of each mob.

Strengths:
- Possible to gather up an unlimited amount of mobs without worrying about losing aggro.
- In spite of being unlucky with things, the effectiveness still proved to be much higher. Expect a higher income rate than me if you are more lucky.

Since the large staircase on the outside counterpart had a high density of mobs, I decided to test its effectiveness alone. Clearing and looting took about 5 minutes and gave a total of 30 Mageweave Cloth, which is 6 Mageweave Cloth per minute. Not a very big improvement from the outside overall.

TL;DR
The Zul'Farrak dungeon is a lot more effective than its outside counterpart. Go for that one instead.

(For Horde players) If you are not high leveled enough to go to the Blasted Lands, I strongly recommend you to go to Felwood, fight some Talonbranch Defenders next to Alliance's Talonbranch Glade. I've been there for about half an hour and got 71 mageweave cloths.

Comment by 796380

Anyone know of a decent mageweave location where the mobs are skinnable?

Comment by 666059

I've found the dragonkin in the far western part of Badlands to be an easily-farmed source of Mageweave. They're numerous, spawn quickly (by the time I clear them they're respawned) and easy to kill (lvls 46-48 it seems). Close enough that you can cluster 5-6 of them for an AoE kill, and seem to drop an average 1-2 per with very little trash dropping and a few silver each too. All in all not even a full route here nets me around 2-3 stacks so far. Unless my luck's been incredible this might be the easiest place to farm this in Cata.

Comment by candyapplecorn

Zul'Farak is baller for mageweave. Only problem I've had is, when I round up half the trolls in the instance, my AOE damage becomes so spread out and weak that the healing totems out-heal my blizzard! So watch out for that.

Comment by 773268

The best place to farm Mageweave Cloth is probably in Zul'Farrak In the room with all the shallow graves. Just pick up all trash in the graves and u will have a quite alot of zombies at you. Then it's just to AoE them down, fast and simple. You need very much bag space since the shallow graves gives you very much junk.

I hope this helps someone who is looking for a spot to farm some fast Mageweave Cloth. :D

Comment by 615632

I farmed pirates for 1 min, and i got 10 cloth, i farmed ogres for 1 min, 22 cloth

Comment by weirdgirl

uninstanced ZF is great. it is possible to get around the portal without a flying mount, you just have to get up onto the eastern wall of the courtyard before the portal and jump across to the wall with the portal on it. the area with the big staircase has a good 20 trolls standing around, and there are probably just as many dancing on the stairs. they respawn very quickly so you really don't even need to go anywhere but this one area.

in about an hour i've picked up a few cured ham steak, few moonberry juice, couple greens, random potions, little bit of gold, almost one stack of silk and 3 stacks of mageweave. compared to the AH prices i'm very pleased.

Comment by 278372

A great place to farm this is Talonbranch Glade killing Talonbranch Defender got 136 mageweave in about 60 min with a cigarette break

Edit: they drop almost no trash... just some food, i got 12 trash in total

Comment by Grukam

Did it in ZF Flew in over the entrance, looked around and systematically started picking off trolls. Slow and painful at best. Flew a little more and found a set of steps covered in trolls, Axethrowers, Firecallers, etc. even more down on the sand. Started working the edges and picking them off. DOH! I'm a lvl 85 DPS warrior. Started running through the groups on the ground and picked up as many as would follow. stop and let more come in. Bladestorm and dropped all of them, sometimes one or two axethrowers would target me from distance, Heroic throw and dropped dead. I'd pick up a few stragglers and run through the crowd again. Then I would do all of them on the steps. Those I could get to all pretty much swarm me, Bladestorm and start picking up loot. Had all the cloth I needed in about 20-25 minutes and then I remembered all those gang rapes I suffered as I lvl'd up. Payback is a biotch. LOL I kept running these crowds of mobs until all 3 of my 22 slot bags were full. Couldn't put any in my mammoth mining bag or I would have filled it also. Only made about 6 g off the mobs but made another 22 g selling all the loot to vendors plus left over cloth after lvling up my first aid, that I will donate to my guild bank. After this I stopped in Dustmallow to look for a Dart Hatchling, found that too. All in all a good day. =)

Comment by Curycoo

I dunno, i farmed them on the sandfuries near Zul'Farrak. There are TONS of them, and the shallow graves have amazing respawn rates... I gathered a stak in 2 minutes here, on an only level 74 hunter.

Comment by 828914

Definitely recommend Zul'Farrak for Mageweave Cloth
Found myself short on cloth when levelling an alt, so took my L85 there.
As mentioned above, make sure you open all the shallow graves in the northern area - you'll get another 40-50 mobs to farm for cloth.
Full clear was quick and easy and yielded 181 Mageweave Cloth.

Comment by 828994

Yep, as with lots of the comments above, I found Zul'Farrak best for mageweave cloth. I only took on the graves in the north area. As a mage I put my shield up and opening all the graves just made my shields break down in a minute. Each grave is looted and you get extra loot from the mobs (2 from each grave). I got around 200 mageweave cloth from them (lucky perhaps?).

Comment by Black4ugust

I decided to do a comparison of which would yield more cloth: An instanced run of Zul'Farrak, or farming at the temple in non-instanced Zul'Farrak. These tests were performed during patch 4.0.3 and were done by a Level 85 Prot Pally. Here are my findings:

A single run of Zul'Farrck (dungeon):

Time: 32 mins.
Cloth Yield: 150 Mageweave & 5 Silk
Items: 5 BoP Blues (sold as vendor trash) & 6 Greens
Money Total (after vendor items were sold): 29g 65s 48c

Comments: My strategy was to pull all the trash to the nearest boss then AoE them down and start looting. I did this between every boss and killed the all trash, including those from the graves. The mobs in the dungeon drop tons of trash and it clutters your bags very quickly. Not much of a problem if you have bots or the mammoth mount but you may need to empty your bags half way through. I experienced the highest Mageweave yield from the graves and the zombies that spawn.

A single farm cycle at the temple (world):

Time: 5 mins. 30 secs.
Cloth Yield: 39 Mageweave & 20 Silk
Items: 1 Green
Money Total (after vendor items were sold): 2g 99s 56c

Comments:
My strategy was to pull the mobs at the base of the temple and LoS the ranged by backing up against the wall surrounding the fire. I AoE'd then looted. I mounted up an did the same for the mobs on the stairs, LoSing at the top of the temple. By the time I cleaned up the stragglers the mobs at the bottom were beginning to respawn. For this test I did not loop and start at the bottom again.

Simple Math Time: To simplify the math I'm rounding the times down. The dungeon farm is rounding to 30 mins, and the world farm is rounding to 5 mins. (I welcome someone to check my head-math)

The result:
Dungeon farming: 6 Mageweave per Min.
World farming: 8 (rounding up) per Min.

Disclaimer:
The tests were performed once and, therefore, are not an average, you may have a different result.

Comment by Curycoo

I Soloed Stratholme not even thinking about this recently, but i came out of the instance after 15 minutes with 7 STACKS OF MAGEWEAVE! I highly suggest, if you are a higher level char farming for an alt, go to stratholme.

Comment by MichalPustik

I found out, that Zul'Farrak is good for farming at top levels. But kill only trash till first junction, run back and repeat.
With my 85 lvl Shadow Priest I got 35 Mageweave Cloth, one Blue, one Green and ton of crap in 6 minutes. Makes around 350 Mageweave/hour.
Good is, that you can grab all trash and then kill them in once with AoE at junction, definitely worth of try.

Edit:
Next run I got 55 Mageweave, making it around 550/hour.

Comment by peeweesweden

I farm these in Tyr's Hand by killing the scarlets. Level 85 Blood DK, and I can go on and on and on, and as an added bonus, I get a Formula: Enchant Weapon - Crusader every now and then. A nice little few hundred gold that makes me all fuzzy inside. ^^

Comment by ThowraEgypt

Zul'Farrak. No contest. Hands down the best place.

Comment by 334995

I went to the Blasted Lands recently and am not finding any mageweave cloth. So where are we to go now for 4.2 or whatever ? I was thinking of going back to the ogres and people in the Gadgetzan area. Is that still a good spot ?

Note: Just saw the post about ZF being a good spot and I did go there. It worked out well. Thanks for the info MichalPustik.

Comment by 857663

I tried GrimeSilk Dig site in Searing Gorge. All those little digging dudes at that dig site drop a good amount of Mageweave cloth. sometime 2 or 3 at a time. Seems the Dark Iron Geologists are dropping them more. got some from the Dark iron Watchmen but very few from the Gravius GrimeSilk

Comment by 873987

Did a Zul'Farrak run just now. Ran from the start, left, straight to the Hyrda boss. From there I went to Stair Event, then killed the Instance main boss (sorry forgot the name).

All up, on a 74 Frost Mage, solo, took about 20mins, includes time in Guild chat, whatever, wasn't fully grinding. Got 76 Mageweave Cloths. This is my farming location if I ever need it again. Was farming MW Cloth to make into Black Mageweave Gloves, to Disenchant for the Vision Dust.

Comment by 749641

I had to explore Eastmoon Ruins in Tanaris for the Exploration Achievement. I went ahead and made six circuits, killing all of the Eastmoon defenders. I got 120 mageweave. The spawn rate is several times faster than I could kill them as a level 66 frost mage. I then went over to the nearby Dunemaul Compound to kill ogres. With less than one circuit of the outside area I got 20 more mageweave so it seems to be a bit faster than Eastmoon. I tried a full circuit for comparison. It took me 11 minutes and yielded 28 mageweave. I can farm these areas at my level without worrying about getting overwhelmed by hordes. To put this in comparison, I can barely handle the hordes at Stratholme solo. Also, the trash is low; they mostly drop silver, mageweave, and the typical food and mana items.

I have tailoring and enchanting so I'm collecting mageweave to create magical items to disenchant; (nether essence seems to be particularly hard to find).
10 Black mageweave vests yielded 20 vision dust, 6 lesser nether essence
10 Black mageweave gloves yielded 24 vision dust, 2 lesser nether essence, 1 small radiant shard

Comment by 403391

Pirates at Southfury Shore in Tanaris. Drop rate is 1 to 3, respawn rate of mobs is excelent.

Once I read this quote, I mounted up so quick my computer hadn't even registered that I'd alt tabbed back to WoW yet.
This is the area I'm grinding back Goblin rep after Bloodsail Admiral (5/6 rep with Gadget and trickle down with the other 3).
The drop rate seems to be about 1 in 3 (1-2 per drop), and drops off both the SouthSea Pirates and the Covert ops Suits, and respawn rate is amazing. Only time you need to stop killing is to regen mana.

edit:Fixed a typo.
EDIT: I wasn't counting, but it felt like about 20 mins to get 5 whole stacks.

Comment by 628651

I find Tyr's Hand a great place to farm this cloth they often drop 2 at a time, and also if you farm up by the catherdral where the archmages are you also have a chance at grabbing Crusader enchant :-) which sells pretty decent on the AH

Comment by 733706

I don't think this was mentioned before, but if you are looking for mageweave cloth and some wild and crazy action as well, go to the Burning Steppes just in front of Blackrock Stronghold at about 34, 37.

Here you will find mobs clustered in groups of 15 or so-they are standing there like military formations and they can't easily be separated. Be sure you have a character that can handle that many lvl 50-51 mobs at once (They are pretty weak for their level). Good AoE, like the Mage's blizzard, is a must.

They drop alot of mageweave, some runecloth, alot of coins, and a few greens and greys. Go there with empty bags and have fun! Stay there as long as you like as they respawn quickly.

I'm an Ally and am not sure if these guys are friendly to the horde, maybe someone from that faction could check it out.

Comment by martanius

One of good farming zones is Zul'Farrak doungeon in Tanaris.

After finish I had 136 Mageweave Cloth

Best drop rate of all NPCs are from zombie graves (and from zombies too).
One grave = about 1-3 Mageweave Cloth, one zombie - about 1-4 Mageweave Cloth

Comment by 898191

I flew all over Azeroth looking for a good drop place for this; I followed comments n such with no luck :( Of all the advice I tried, I found that the best place for farming it is Def Zul'farrak! Each run, i ended with 120-140 Mageweave cloths. Then just go bk to the beginning, reset, and do it again! I finally quit after almost 400! Also drops silk sometimes, lots of greens, Rep, leather, etc. Easy breezy! <3

Comment by 444621

Still the fastest way for me to farm mageweave cloth is Zul'Farrak. With a level 85 hunter, I cleared the place in 15min-ish without going through the stairs event and got:

150 mageweave cloths
7 greens

You don't have to worry about the respawn. When you're done, leave the dungeon, reset all intances and go back in.

Comment by 921293

Well, I can't upvote comments so I'm just going to say that the Dunemaul Ogres are pretty much where it's at. Thanks, blackiron.

Comment by 964073

ZF is best and really you only need to go up to the stairs (not do the event) then ride out, reset and go again. Best place for enchanting.

Comment by Ryusan

Stratholme is amazing to farm for mageweave cloth. First 8 groups of undead = approx. 50 cloth, 5 minutes. I was on my 85 DK.

Comment by Tosuro

I've farmed them in Stratholme along with doing Mount runs there on Rivendare. Collected around 4-5 stacks each run.

Comment by butterbee

I went into Stratholme, did the whole thing solo, came out with 136 mageweave.

Comment by 919754

Jinta'Alor mobs in the Hinterlands drop silk cloth now, not mageweave.

Comment by 919754

The miners in The Grinding Quarry on the way into Blackrock Depths do drop Mageweave cloth still.

Comment by martanius

Very good drop chance is at Stratholme instance (main gate).

I farmed about 30min and got about 130 Mageweave Cloth .

Comment by 1006228

Another good place is Jaedenar in Felwood because the things are easy to kill, and there are a lot of them. If you are a skinner also the occasional demon thing is skinnable.

Comment by 1019958

If you're about lvl 50 or lower w/o BOAs, or not a DPS class (like a disc priest etc), I recommend going to Jaedenar at Felwood (located Western Middle of Map). You get usually 1 drop per kill. It's uncommon but sometimes you get up to 3 or none at all if unlucky.

Comment by 627360

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this spot, but Den Whompers are a very good source of Silk Cloth and Mageweave Cloth. I originally started farming this spot for transmog greens which sell for 100g each plus, but found these mobs drop tons of cloth as well. They're elite mobs with about 5.5k health. They respawn very fast and continuous farming is the norm. These ogres are located in Thousand Needles south/east corner inside a cave. The cave's name is The Admiral's Den with coordinates of 92,83. If you don't have coords and have a spare 3 minutes watch this video it'll show you how.

Comment by 918340

First of all i appologise for my english :P, but if u want to find best place to farm Mageweave Cloth go to Zul'Farrak. Quite high drop rate (about 3-4 stacks per run, much higher compare to Stratholme and Dire Maul ) plus u can use mount there which is making it very quick, and if u have Traveler's Tundra Mammoth u can sell all the rubbish while gathering aggro. Hope it'll helps have fun and good luck!

Comment by 602256

I found Live Stratholme (Main Entrance) to be a very good source of Mageweave, after I believe 5 runs, pulling most of the instance, I had 31 stacks. The new AoE looting is simply amazing. If you do decide to farm the Main Entrance, I suggest bringing an Enchanter high enough to Disenchant for Large Radiant Shards (You will also get various greens for dust and such)
-Might try Zul'farrak sometime.

Tl:dr: Stratholme (Main Entrance) is a very good place to farm Mageweave, in my opinion.

Comment by 782960

Ran Zul'Farrak twice today. First run 104 mageweave, 2nd 100 mageweave. My voidlord killed a couple on npc's so maybe a little higher...106 maybe.

Ran Admiral's Den with 25 empty slots...78 cloth.

Comment by eddyjr

Zul'Farrak with a high level toon will net you between 6-9 stacks of Mageweave.

Comment by 1042130

I find farming the denwatchers in northern felwood a great way to farm mageweave. There's a large camp and the respawn is good. I can pretty much go in a circle without any wait.

Comment by 1060447

If you choose to try Zul Farrak for Mageweave farming, consider also looting the tombs surrounding Witch Doctor Zum'rah in the northern part of ZF : the tombs themselves contain a few cloth and the mobs popping from them drop also some cloth; I got 2 more stacks from this zone that I did not do before (except for the boss itself of course). Hope this helps.

Comment by 885261

Farming in Burning Steppes is a little different from usual farming.
There are four companies of Blackrock soldiers in front of Blackrock Stronghold. They respawn in 8 minutes, so basically you will be on a two-minute killing spree and will then have to wait 6 minutes for the next run.
Each company has 25 soldiers, so each run means 100+ dead Blackrock soldiers. I did 5 runs altogether and got:

Mageweave Cloth x 212
Runecloth x 101
greens (ilvl 49-55) x 8
Vendor trash worth 13g

Comment by 837252

Stratholme is still a very good place to farm mageweave cloth. Did the entire live side/main gate, after killing last boss, went back throu and killed all the skeles that spawn after the bosses death. Came out with 200 mageweave cloth.

Used my 90 feral dps druid.

Comment by 1070531

BartJ385's comment about farming the groups of mobs in front of Blackrock Stronghold was very helpful, I can confirm this is a great way to farm Mageweave in 5.1.
As he says the groups of 25 soldiers have roughly a 10 minute respawn timer, so after killing them all (takes less than a minute) I logged an alt and ran through ZF on another character, combining these two methods got me the 400 Mageweave needed for tailoring in next to no time!

If this comment has been helpful, up-vote so others can see!

Cheers, Pxl.

Comment by Starletta

The best place to farm mageweave is Stratholme - drops off everything I got over 200 stacks just running both service and main entrance once - took me about 20 minutes

Comment by ltgeneralpena

If you guys haven't tried it yet, go to Stratholme living side and if you farm on a 90 its a very fast run and you get alot of mageweave.

I just did it on my 58 priest soloed it of course but took some time, when i got out i had 163 Mageweave cloth. i was super excited because i got the right amount i needed.

Comment by Spydah

As of patch 5.2 Strat Live is still the best place to farm Mageweave Cloth. If you are going to be grinding the ~400 Cloth Needed for Tailoring i highly suggest you go here.... Just make sure you loot as your clearing... I made of the mistake of clearing everything thinking i could run back on my way out and loot everything... and found everything despawned lol >_<

Comment by Depandafactor

Stratholme is indeed stil a great place to farm Mageweave Cloth.
Did one run on my 90 Lock and managed to collect 171 pieces (8,5 stacks) of Mageweave Cloth for my 24 twink :)

Comment by Loremastertappa

Lost Rigger's Cove, next to Caverns of Time in Tanaris (On the map to the right of the caverns. Look for ships on map) is a great, non dungeon spot to farm for Mageweave. The respawn rate is super fast and you earn rep with Steamwheedle Cartel.

Comment by Sodomice

The Slag Pit (which is a cave in the searing gorge) harbours both Dark Iron Taskmasters and Slave Workers. You can kill them both for the cloth. There are a lot of them and the respawn is fairly ok.

Entrance of the cave is in the northern edge of the Cauldron. You have to decent the Cauldron first.

Comment by 99664

If you've got a flying mount, in addition to Zul'Farrak instance itself, you can fly behind the portal to the non-instanced version of Zul-Farrak. If you head to the spot where the execution area is, I'd call it the town-center, there are about 100 mobs just bunched up. Only have like 3500 health, and they all drop loot. Also a large set on the stairs themselves. And the respawn timer is like 3 minutes. Great for just plowing through and getting tons of mageweave plus any rare drops.

Comment by xSyntheticx

165 mageweave in 15 min in strat as a lvl 90... fastest IMO....

Comment by plantemarc

for me lvl 63 hunter zul'farrak instance was a good place to farm mageweave got arround 5 stack in 1 run dont forget to loot shallow grave almost got a stack just from it
- good luck

Comment by 1188371

The easiest way for me to farm this as a 90 Elemental Shaman was to go to Zul'Farrak in Tanaris. You get a bunch of cloth, greens, money, and grays that sell for a decent amount of silver each. I got five or six stacks of Mageweave before I had to stop to empty my bags.

Comment by aznmark

As of 1/5/2014.. Stratholme undead side is still the best place to farm mageweave cloths. I basically pulled the whole instances and got 10 stacks of mageweave cloths. Took probably maybe around 10 mins.

-Have fun farming!

Comment by Firelocked

I just a bit ago got 9 stacks mageweave from the Zul'Farrak instance.

Comment by Naenthos

Perhaps not the ideal location, but if you happen to be in the area the grouped up forces in front of Blackrock Stronghold in the Burning Steppes drop plenty of mageweave and a bit of runecloth. I was overleveled and playing a deathknight, using aoe to wipe them rather quickly but it worked rather well I thought. Maybe worth checking out?

Comment by 1246134

As a lvl90 alliance, the Fields of Honor in Burning Steppes are very good for this.

Close to SW, quick respawn on the mobs, and they're literally standing around in formation- AOE is just a breeze.

Like I say, they are quick respawn, but they are needed for at least one quest so be considerate. :)

Decent for Runecloth too.

Comment by DerpCatOriginal

I will probably be buried in all these comments, but my favorite place to farm Mageweave is Stratholme.
Get all the skeletons in the beginning area, and pull time to one place and kill them. ~35-45 pieces will drop in just one run.

Comment by 1239045

From 1 run of Stratholme (@ level 100):

Live side (Main Gate):

191 Mageweave Cloth

Dead side (Service Entrance):

106 Mageweave Cloth

Total (both sides):

297 Mageweave Cloth

*Note: Make sure to kill Commander Malor and Willey Hopebreaker before killing the final boss, Balnazzar on the Live Side, otherwise they will disappear after he is killed and you will miss out on up to 60 Mageweave Cloth. Also make sure to go back through the Scarlet Bastion and kill the additional skeletons that spawn after killing Balnazzar.

*More info in this post about Stratholme, for those unfamiliar with it.

Comment by Whisperwinds

Zul Farrak

1 run got me

192 Mageweave

8 Green BoEs

2 Gems

1 Blue BoE

10-15 minute clear.

The annoying part is the dismount still gets me even at lv 75

Happy hunting!

Just ran Stratholme for mageweave cloth;

235 = Main Gate
112 = Service Entrance

Definitely worth the run as well as another shot at Rivendare's mount.

:) for the mageweave

:( for the mount

First run, 132 cloth from Main Gate of Stratholme (@ level 110):

Leveling tailoring and cooking? Farm mageweave in Tanaris, and while you're there, grab the recipe for Tender Wolf Steak from the innkeeper or butcher in Gadgetzan, then before you leave Kalimdor, grab the recipe for Hot Wolf Ribs in Feralas (either Camp Mojache or Feathermoon Stronghold). Because currently, the best place to farm the next cloth--runecloth--is Lower Blackrock Spire, where the worgs drop red wolf meat and tender wolf meat. Kill two birds with one stone.
