Tips

• Cloth Farming: Farm humanoid mobs in relevant zones (e.g., Deadmines for Linen, Scarlet Monastery for Silk, Pandaria for Windwool). Check Auction House prices to save time.

• Spirit of Harmony: Farm Motes of Harmony from Pandaria mobs (low drop rate, ~10 minutes per 10 motes) or buy from the Auction House.

• Gold Saving: Disenchant crafted items if you have Enchanting to recover materials. Sell bags like [Embersilk Bag] or [Netherweave Bag] on the Auction House.

• Imperial Silk: Requires crafting at The Silken Fields due to a daily cooldown in MoP. Plan your visit to maximize efficiency.

• Windwool Cloth: Farm in Pandaria while leveling to 90, as drop rates are high. See Windwool Cloth Farming Guide for locations.
