Mission: "Envycloth"
With the popularity of the F2P community rapidly growing, and the ambition for top gear becoming more eager, I've decided to make a guide showing the best ways to farm one of the most sought after pieces of BiS (Best in Slot) gear for clothies. Yes folks, I'm talking Ivycloth Bracelets! For when adorning the cheap and easily attained Crystalline Cuffs is not enough, and when we all can't be lucky, like the lovely Ðecem, and her shiny Mindthrust Bracers. Ivycloth Bracelets become the goal of many dedicated F2Per's, wanting only the best for their twinks.
In my experiences of twinking at low level, one thing I've learned is that small numbers add up quickly. Whether it be the difference of +6 Armor (you Foreman farmers know who you are), or +8 Stam and a shield for a 1000 damage, every little bit counts. If you seek the maximum potential out of your character, then these gear upgrades can help.
Ivywhat?
Ivycloth Bracelets are level 20, world random, Uncommon quality bracers. With a wide range of different stat combinations that will either benefit you, or simply be a wasted drop. The stats Ivycloth will yield depend upon the random name. ('of the Eagle', 'of the Whale', 'of Stamina', etc.) The chances of getting the combo you desire may be slim, but a rewarding challenge, nonetheless. The BiS combo to farm will be 'of the Eagle' (+Intellect/+Stamina), either giving +3/+3, +3/+4, or +4/+3. Deceiving as it may appear on Wowhead.com, 4/4's do not exist. You can find a complete list of possible combinations here.
My Method:
In theory, I came to believe that farming rare spawns would have the highest chance of seeing Ivycloth and other items drop. Not only was I after the bracelets, but Ivycloth Boots for the +7 Stamina, Ivycloth Cloak for full Shadow spell power set, as well as Greenweave Gloves ('of the Eagle' +4 Int/+5 Stam) for full Stamina set. Basing my theory off Wowhead.com's data, I searched for every rare NPC that had my items in their loot table. I toured through Ashenvale, Duskwood, and Hillsbrad, getting to know the spawn locations, using target macros, and to see if these NPC's even existed (Wetlands was also a good zone, but I found it impractical due to the long distance as a Horde character). After confirming spawns, the farming began. Creating easier routes out of habit, time for each round gradually became less. You may also have a good chance of seeing these items drop in Black Fathom Deeps, or Stockade, as well as a small chance in Shadowfang Keep, and Wailing Caverns.
My Success:
The idea for this thread has been an ongoing process ever since my arrival on Aerie Peak. Farming rare after rare, I was determined to confirm Ivycloth was an active drop before writing a guide. Throughout my travels I've come across nearly every combo, multiple times, and in total I've looted 31 pieces of gear.
Here's a list:

The methods I've shared in this thread will not guarantee your twink a pair of Ivycloth Bracelets or any other gear. As we all know, RNG is a bitch. With the grip of F2P restrictions holding firmly, we're limited to the ways we can obtain said items. These methods may increase your chances, but in the end, drop rates are still completely random. You may never see these pieces of gear.
