Felcloth FTW
Felcloth is a fairly rare dropped trade item used for making, among other things, Wicked Leather Armor, Felcloth Bags, and joy of joys - Runed Stygian cloth armor pieces.
It%26#8217;s important to us because it goes for quite a pretty copper at your faction%26#8217;s Auction House - currently 4 gold per felcloth on my server%26#8217;s Orgrimmar bank - and that%26#8217;s the lowball price.
You can only get felcloth from basically three places: Dire Maul, Azshara and Felwood. It is dropped by the Satyrs inhabiting those respective areas.
The Wildspawn Satyrs (levels 55-60 elite) located in Dire Maul are pretty bad to solo grind felcloth as Dire Maul is rather difficult instance overall (this of course will be less the case after Burning Crusade is released and, along with it, the level cap is raised to 70). The best by far is to solo grind in Azshara and Felwood.
Felcloth drops in Felwood from the Jadefire Satyrs (levels 51-55) in Jadefire Run (42,17). This would be an excellent place to grind out your felcloth if it wasn%26#8217;t such a popular destination for everyone else on Azeroth as well. Even still, the other night I was able to accumulate about 9 felcloth in roughly 3 hours (along with about 20-25 gold in silver and trash items). That was with the annoying warlock-priest duo doing there best to steal as many kills from me as possible for at least half that time.
Perhaps the best place to farm felcloth is in Azshara from the Legashi Satyrs (levels 51-53) at the Legashi Compound (60,23). I%26#8217;ve noticed not many people farm this area - mainly just the die-hard gold farmers. I haven%26#8217;t confirmed this but I believe they have a slightly higher drop rate for felcloth than the Jadefire Satyrs as well - while I could be wrong they do go down quicker, thereby increasing your drop rate in that manner. But there are fewer, so at this site there is really only room for one.
Like most grinding sites, this is best done at level 60+. Any class can easily grind for felcloth at these locations, but I think tailors will get the best use as they actually need the felcloth for recipes. Mages, warlocks and other AoE-focused characters and classes should stick to Felwood where the mobs are mainly packed in groups of three, while rogues, warriors and the like will find Azshara much easier to deal with as most of the mobs are singled out.
By now if you%26#8217;re reading this, you know that the release of the Burning Crusade has all but nerfed this technique for gold-making. If you read Valkor%26#8217;s Gold-Making Guide, however, you will get all the latest techniques for making loads of gold after Patch 2.4. It has all the best strategies for completely dominating the auction house in your realm.
