Cataclysm cloth scavenging?
Mark (newsgroups)
illustrious grandmaster level because I thought it would grant me
scavenging same as the northrend version (*) and it seems I should have
checked first. Can't find anything about tailors looting more cloth in
Cataclysm zones. Am I wrong?
IYM
I logged on at 80 and made sure I was up to date with tailoring and went
questing. I never even bothered to check what mats I needed to make
stuff as I'll level professions later, but had I looked I would have
seen some easy craft stuff just using the cindercloth (i think that's
what it's called). I had collected about 30 of them while questing and
used them all to start to level my first aid, as my mage has no self
healing. Had I known, I would have saved a few. But as for getting
additional cloth because we're tailors? I've no idea would be nice to
know...I'll have to check wow-professions.com soon. He only had the
guide up to 525 for tailors when I checked the other day. He had the
complete guides for a lot of the other ones completed already...
OT: I'm a skinner as well (yea, I know - weird combo for a mage) and I
was skinning fel hounds and the such like crazy, with the amount that
were laying around dead from all the questers and sending it all to my
80 druid who's my leatherworker. I'm not kidding - I could have staying
in that one area all night and just skinned there was that many
around... :) I stopped at about 100 skins to get back to questing...

I was skinning like crazy in the underwater zone. Had I thought of it 15
minutes earlier than I did instead of trying to level in that gankfest I
could have made server first 525 skinner. As it was I missed it by 15
minutes.

That area with the snakes, by any chance? I was cursing that I wasn't
a skinner when I got there earlier, free leather by the bucketload! If
only other gathering professions were as easy... Obsidian is a total
bitch to find atm, got a bit earlier when I just flew around Hyjal for
a while, but Vash'jir, damn... only saw about 3 veins and only got one
of them :-(

Yes, the snakes and the crab things. the water was literally so thick with
corpses in spots it was almost solid with them. I could just sit in one spot
not moving and get 6-7 skins at a time before I had to move a lillte in
another direction.

I have feeling you might do but it not showing. I ran a few instances
with guildies and I'm sure I found cloth of mobs they had already
looted. (Could be wrong though)

Herbs? I sold mine for 100g I'll worry about leveling later. Been
using the cloth since the tailored greens are better then my current
epics! Madness!!

The first day I sold herbs for 140-200g stack, but now they're already
down to 50g stack. I don't complain though, because I had enough to
level alch. with the herbs from Mt. Hyjal and sell off at least 10
stacks at AH :-D

I nearly fell out of my chair last night when I saw that the leather you
can skin from the start in Hyjal was going for 2K a stack of 20 on my
realm. Dayyym!!! ..I had been sending it to my leatherworking toon so
he would have a good stash when I started playing him, but no more!
This stuff is the easiest to grab and the starting level with a skinner...

Of course, whether it sells at that price has yet to be determined. I
listed 2 stacks of 20 that I was going to give to my leatherworker.
I'll find out at lunch today what happened. What I *DO* know was that
picked up about 5 pieces of 288 boe greens off trash last night that I
couldn't use (mail, leather, etc) on my main I posted in Guild chat if
anyone wanted them for nothing....no takers...So I listed them on a whim
on the AH to see if they would go for 75g each and I got notice they
sold before I made it across the street to the bank....me thinks I
listed them too low, but there was nothing else to compare them to in
the AH, so I didn't think they'd sell. Anyone else have an idea what I
should be looking at AH'ing green boe 280ish gear for?
BTW - Ironically, for how much leather was going for (the 2K for a 20
stack), cindercloth was substantially cheaper at 8g each (or abut 160 a
20 stack)....
...and back onto the original topic - I did notice that I was able to
scavenge cindercloth off corpses lat night. Just think the drop rate is
low....Then again, if it was you'd think the price would be higher on
the AH, however - everyone was getting a little cloth even non-tailors
as it is used for bandages - I think only skinners are getting skins....

I'm not sure what you mean by this. How could you tell that you were
'scavenging' the cloth rather than normal looting? I am dual-boxing a
priest (tailoring) and druid (non tailoring) and have not noticed any
significant differences in cloth loot on the two.
IYM
OK - you would know better than...It just seemed that after looting
there was more sparkle and I looted again and got cloth. Maybe there
was just another mob underneath that I didn't see the first time and
made an assumption. I'll have to go google'ing later and see if I can
find us an answer... :)
Mark (newsgroups)
Oh, please accept my apologies. I went out and test this properly. I
looted every human type mob with my druid first and can confirm there
are times when nothing further is lootable by him but my priest can loot
cloth. This is on free-for-all loot type. So I guess tailors do get
additional cloth, just not as much as I was used to in Northrend :-)
IYM
Ah - cool :)
Yea, I'd suspect right now they are keeping the scavenging low as they
are giving it out also as regular loot (as it's needed for those
leveling first aid) and if too much is available, it's value is crap...

I hope so, the cloth drop level in Lich was atrocious for most
Steve Kaye
I don't think that it was so bad. Every character seemed to have more
than enough to level first aid and my tailor seemed to have plenty to
level tailoring.
I do think that it was worse than the cloth drop rate in Outlands. I
always seem to have way too much Netherweave Cloth. I just wouldn't go
as far as to say that it was atrocious.

Well tailors got extra.

It was for me. Still working on the quest to get 500 bandages

Tailors learned the scavenge skill, and I've heard them told they got
more than others.
Urbin
I agree. In Outland I had more than enough cloth for my tailor to make 18
slot bags for all my characters (4 bags + 7 bank bags), skill first aid up
to 375 on all my level 70 characters and sell off the rest on the AH.
In WotLK I didn't even manage to provide all my characters with 20 slot bags
(all had 4, but not all got 7 for the bank). Plus the only char to have 450
first aid is my main, I only skilled the others to 410 so they could get the
book drop to at least learn the heavy bandages.
However. I don't think I used more than a handful of frostweave bandages
during all of WotLK. In combat they are pretty useless because you can't use
them fully when being hit on, they can't be applied twice in quick
succession and out of combat, food is the better option. Even though I am an
achievment junkie, the 500 bandage one is one I don't have (and likely
won't) because I just couldn't be bothered wasting 1000 cloth on an
achievment only to then vendor off all the useless bandages. At least not
while not all of my chars have large bags.

Well, my tailor has "Northrend cloth scavenging" which, according to the
description, you'd think wouldn't work outside Northrend.
However, I was multi-boxing through Cataclysm zones, and I can confirm that
my tailor could loot cloth off mobs when my other 2 toons couldn't see any
sparklies.
So I'd say it works, intentionally or not, with Embersilk.

I'd agree - I payed close attention to it this weekend, and during a
dungeon run when all corpse had been looted, I still saw a sparkle and
re-looted and found embersilk.
However - I will say that the drop rate still sucks on regular mobs for
embersilk. I need to find where good drops are to farm, similar to that
of the frostweave cloth that you would go to those undead heroes (or
whatever they were called) area northwest of ICC, where you could farm
frostweave to your heart's content.
Leveling through the zones, I still found I had a choice between using
the silk for first-aid or tailoring. I chose first aid, as I found I
was having no problem with the leveling content, and didn't find myself
using potions, but every so often after a fight I'd need to heal up as I
can't self heal (mage).
So I leveled my first-aid as I did my toon and am now at 525 in that and
skinning. Now I need to farm for the embersilk for tailoring.

I agree completely. There is a shortage of cloth, and on the AH it is 100g+
per stack on my server.
My tailoring is only at about 475, since I can't find the basic cloth I
need.
In contrast, levelling enchanting has proved easier than I expected.
Not only did I get lots of greens/blues to disenchant while I was levelling,
but my skinnner got lots of leather.
So I gave the leather to my leatherworker, made greens to level leatherworking,
then disenchanted the greens for enchanting mats. Also, any greens I make while
tailoring get DE'd too.
On a related note, now is the time to buy any crafted items that you might want,
because the prices are rock bottom on the AH while crafters try to get even a
little money back for the items they made while levelling their profession.
Elementium bars cost a fortune, but I was able to pick up an Elementium Rod
for my enchanting for much less.
Likewise, enchanting scrolls are going really cheaply - you can get enchants
for less than 20g that would cost 100's if you bought the mats.
Anyone who wants to make a good profit, and doesn't mind holding off on
levelling their professions, should sell all cloth, ore/bars, leather, gems,
herbs etc now while the prices are high, wait until prices drop (which may be
many weeks), then buy back whatever you need for your profession.

How I wish that was the case on my server - that said I'm not
complaining about the gold I make from selling crafted items! At least
I don't think 50g-100g for a green classes as "rock bottom" ;-)

Haha now that is true indeed, browsed the AH for some cheap enchants
for my blues last night, figuring that while I usually enchant my own
gear, my enchanter's not got far yet (since I keep selling my green
crafted pieces instead of DE'ing them, much more profitable atm) and
hey, 30 int to cloak for 3g... *buyout* :-P 35g for leg enchant...
*buyout* ;-) I'd think about making a stock but meh, I'll end up with
a heap of scrolls in the gbank when I skill up myself anyway!

Yeah I'm skilling my jewelcrafting but selling every volatile that
drops while I'm mining atm, making good money from them. And better
money from Rigid Ocean Sapphires... it would appear only one other
person on my server got that recipe so far and it's quite naturally
going to be very very popular with the raiders ;-)

I'm a healing junkie. I keep a stack on my mage, and after the healer
rezzes someone, I'm ready with a bandage, and almost always beat the healer
to topping off the guy's health. (My mage also has an engineering pocket
knife, ready to rez the healer if my mage is the last person standing.)
