I wanted to make a thread to ask a question but thought if others had something they wanted to give as input it could help the whole community

I am Looking for the best place to FARM Silk cloth and if any F2P know of a place to farm Mageweave solo that would be great too.
>> 1. I have been to tanaris but I just agro to much and NEED more HIT to be successful, I only got about 6 mageweave from an hour or so of running riding swimming dying on my way there and then trying to farm... I can solo one mob by kiting but then you back into another one...
*
>> 2. For Silk Cloth, I've been to STV and the drop rate seems to be no better than 1 silk every ten mobs & I've Been to The Scarlet Monastery and killed every mob outside and got 6 silk. To Many mobs to attempt going inside alone.

Someone said something about Honor Hold????

What I would Like to add i read somewhere for Farming Copper;

The best horde ore grinding is by far in Durotar, just keep making a large loop around Razor Hill.
For Alliance;
Goldshire isn't bad but it's to well known and always seems to be other farming there...
Darkshore is the best place for Alliance players. A few tricky spots with the water and all but it has tons of copper.

Farming Lion Meat;
Is there any place other than Hillsbrad North of South Shore? Seems the Hulking Mountains Lions are gone!

Thanks for your input...
 
I found lots of silk cloth soloing Gnomeregan trying to get the +2 scope, and so far that has been the fastest rate for me. For mageweave cloth, try the trolls and ogres in the southeast of Arathi Highlands. Finally, for lion meat, I get it from the lions found in the Barrens right outside the gate to Mulgore. I'm sure there are better places to farm these items, but these are the places that I found to be convenient for me. Good luck.
 
For silk cloth, a great place is just outside the Scarlet Monastery. The Scarlet Crusade members there have low health and I've found that they drop 1-2 silk cloth about fifty percent of the time.

I was having a rough time farming silk at the scarlet monastery, i hardly hitted the level 28-30 mobs. I would run pretty much oom on every mob with my priest. I even respecced to shadow and put on my spirit gear to get it maxed out in hit for it. Then i remembered that the ogres in Alterac Mountain drop silk to but not in huge amounts, you once and in a while get a 2 drop of a mob and sometimes 1, i bet it was like 20% chance. I was pretty fast done with getting fa maxed out there and the level of the mobs are just 25-28. A good spot for f2p to get their fa maxed out since you can do it all with silk cloth and you don't need alot hit to take them down like the mobs at the monastery wich sucked as caster :)

Irontree choppers, or talonbranch defendors (depending on your faction) in northern felwood are THE place to farm mageweave.

No but seriously, farm these guys. I don't know what your class is, but hunter with a decent hit set can get mageweave much faster than silk (soloing) on these mobs.

A few fun facts:
1. The mobs are all fighting the opposite factions' mobs.
2. Thier spawn rate is faster than your kill rate.
3. Since the mobs are already fighting, you will never agro something you don't mean to.
4. Wowhead has them as one of the highest drop rates for mageweave. (although their average chance to drop cloth is 80% it seems to be because they drop 2-3 about 30% the time)
5. There are ally or horde flight paths very near these mobs. (for ally if I remember right, you already have the FP?)
6. These mobs do not have a ranged attack, and they usually get dazed from the attacking mobs (the opposite faction's mob) so they are pretty damn easy to kite.
7. My hunter with 19% hit at the time of testing got 2.9 mageweave per minute. (as survival)

Hope this helps :)

PLEASE KEEP POSTING WHERE YOU FARM ANYTHING.... TONS OF FOLKS HAVE READ THIS AND COULD HELP THEM FARM SOMETHING THEY NEED.

ABOUT "I have been farming the 28-29 goblins by Zul Gurub in STV and have thrown away stacks and stacks of Silk." i'VE BEEN THERE AND DIDN'T See any mobs... But the drop rate for STV is just bad.
I FOund Honor's Stand!!! WooHoo Finally mobs that regularly drop silk! Go to Ratchet hit the crossroads and keep going WEST. Caution of the beast in the area for some reason & all the mobs here seem harder to kill than STV. If you have LOW hit don't even try it.
*
For Skinning to make armor KITS... Remember if making +16 ones you NEED Medium Leather and 4 light leather makes 1 medium and I found Redridge Foxes and boars the easiest to kill with the best results. I can't recall the Boars name you need for the quest just to the LEFT of the Inn there but there are 3-4 Foxes nearby and he respawns fast PLUS you'll get an occasional Medium leather to boot!

WOW... I'm actually looking forward to trying to farm these guys... What a great Post!!!
 
just FYI...
If you see my comment; "*i'VE..." i had caps lock on it was a mistake... i wasn't retyping it; i'm sorry if you thought I was yelling... I appreciate your comments and I was obviously confused on the EXACT location of the mobs. I'm Glad Silk drops for you in STV maybe I'll try again.

how do you farm them if you have really few +hit? :( i auto attaqued with a wand, and managed to take aggro

from what i saw they all have 1752 health and don't loose health from the hit of the pnj attacking them. if you get the help from the guard to assist you, you can't loot them.

was this fixed?
