I have no idea where to buy this thread.

Comment by Nieghclaw

For anyone looking for this, on horde side, you can buy it from Barder Zitakeri in town Warbeast Krall, Zuldazar.

For the Alli side: you can buy this from Kane Carlyle located at Suggler's Cove, Drustvar.
Also for alli: do not start asking for a friend quest or you will not be able to buy from him.

For Alliance, item is sold by trade goods vendor Tulha Treehorn. She is located at Fairwind Post in Drustvar (just west of the Fletcher's Hollow flight path). They cost 60 silver each. =)

The name has been changed to Swiftwind Post, and just a headsup for Alliance players, it's an outpost and flight point run by Highmountain Tauren.

UPDATE: Henrick Wyther (Alliance) in Boralus sells all the new crafting vendor mats. Located in the crafting area under the awning between Maps, Scrolls & Mysteries and the dinning tables.

Realize this may not help a lot of ppl. But the 5 mill gold mount Reins of the Mighty Caravan Brutosaur has a vendor on him also (along with the ah vendor) who sells this thread along with many other items Merchant Maku

I was actually putting off buying it until I realized it had all these mats too.

Right outside to the left of the entrance on Zuldazar where the tailoring trainer is - Aman de Child sells Nylon thread for Horde. Tailoring and Leatherworking supplys.

Since when does the WoW universe have plastic in it?

Comment by wowilovehead

Why couldn't they just make these things cost 10 times as much and only require 1/10 of them in the recipes? I am sick of buying 200 stacks and running out. Or maybe stack to 1000

Comment by kesor

For some reason, (probably because of Scrapping) Nylon Thread, Amber Tanning Oil, and other vendor trade ingredients are often sold on the AH for half the price.

Chuba <Trade Supplies> in Village in the Vines, Zuldazar sells this also.

Macros can help you. Trader window with Nylon Thread should be open. Buy 200 Nylon Thread in one click.

Comment by Caligulove

They need to make reagents like this available in capital cities so we can work on our crafting near the AH instead of going back to Boralus or Zuldazar to buy another stack of 200.

Recently I learnt the ins and outs of a basic Tidesray pants vendor shuffle, so I thought I'd share some simple steps here with those that have yet to try this gold making strategy.

If you'd prefer to just watch a short video explanation you can do so here.

So for those of you who have no idea what this is; you essentially craft Tidespray Linen Pants and sell them directly to a vendor, with the exception of the blue rarity crafts. This is only possible if you purchase the ingredients Nylon Thread and Tidespray Linen at really low prices.

Tidespray Linen

The breakeven price for Tidespray Linen is 2 gold 6 silver. Each additional silver under purchase price will increase your profit per pants vendored. The lower you buy in the more profit you make. I try to buy as much as I can at 1 gold 80 silver or lower for it to be worth my time personally. You need 17 Tidespray per pants craft

As of this moment, the shuffle is only profitable on a portion of EU realms, but dont let that discourage you, my realm has seldom been viable, but I've still made good profits during occasional market resets.

You can also manually farm Tidespray Linen instead by acquiring the Synchronous Thread, but make sure to keep an eye out on the auction house for potential market resets that may bring prices down.

Nylon Thread

It usually sells for 60 silver, but make sure you buy it at a reduced price of 48 silver if you have exalted reputation with Zandalari Empire or Proudmoore Admiralty. I've yet to confirm this, but apparently the goblin vendor discount racial works as well.

There are plenty of vendors that sell Nylon Thread, but if you are Horde ~~Scum~~, head on over to Aman De Child in Dazar'alor to buy as much as you need. If you are Alliance, you can purchase from Daniel Brineweaver in Boralus
You can also try snipe Nylon off the auction house, you won't believe how many people undercut below vendor prices. The latest auction house update has however mitigated this quite a bit, but it still happens sometimes due to the Nylon Thread rewards from PvP chests that people are eager to get rid of.

Making The Raw Gold

Once you have enough Tidespray Linen and Nylon Thread stockpiled, begin crafting Tidespray Linen Pants. Remember to only buy these ingredients at the above mentioned prices. Once you're done crafting Tidespray Linen Pants, start selling them to a vendor, with the exception of the rare crafted pants. Depending on the price of veiled crystals on your realm, you may want to try and disenchant these rare crafts.

The Results

Now unfortunately this shuffle doesn't really have an accurate gold per hour estimate, or at least I haven't been able to calculate one as of yet. The reasons I find it hard to provide a good estimate are as follows.

Everyone has different local Auction House prices for ingredients.
Everyone has different ingredient quantities they can craft with.
Everyone has different efficiencies when it comes to crafting (alts, enchants, macros etc).
Successful Blue Rarity crafts are RNG.
Veiled Crystal Drop Chances are RNG.

I find the general rule to be: The lower the price of Tidespray Linen the more gold you make.

Comment by violetta

so for no explicable reason there is not a tailoring vendor in Valdrakken
every single other profession has a vendor. some have two
tailors have none
so if you want to do any BFA crafting (eg: for mogs) you're out of luck
