WoW Forever: Where to Find Wool

A misty Ashenvale forest with purple-leaved trees and a fallen stone statue in World of Warcraft: Forever

You find Wool Cloth in World of Warcraft: Forever by killing humanoid enemies of about levels 15 to 30. There are no wool nodes and no gathering profession for it, so the best spots are simply dense humanoid camps: Defias in Westfall and Blackrock orcs in Redridge for the Alliance, Bristlebacks in The Barrens and Dalaran mages in Silverpine for the Horde.

Below are the best camps by level for each faction, how to get more per hour, what Wool is used for, and Forever’s new quests that take it in bulk. Camp and level details come from Forever’s drop data as of November 8.

Which Levels Drop Wool

Cloth is tied to the level of the enemy, and the bands overlap at the edges:

Cloth Enemy levels
Linen Cloth Up to about 19
Wool Cloth About 15 to 30
Silk Cloth About 26 to 40

So the sweet spot for pure Wool is enemies from about level 18 to 25, above most Linen and below Silk. Forever’s data does list Wool on a few enemies in their mid 30s, but those camps mostly give Silk, so do not go there for Wool. Stick to humanoids: Defias, orcs, gnolls, murlocs and the like. Beasts are not the way to farm cloth.

Best Wool Camps for the Alliance

Zone Enemies Levels
Westfall Defias Diggers, Workers and Highwaymen, Riverpaw Bandits and Taskmasters 15 to 18
Darkshore Blackwood Warriors, Dark Strand Fanatics, Stormscale Myrmidons 16 to 19
Loch Modan Mo’grosh Ogres and Enforcers, Stonesplinter Diggers 18 to 19
Redridge Mountains Blackrock Grunts, Outrunners, Sentries and Shadowcasters 19 to 23
Wetlands Mosshide Gnolls, Fenrunners, Trappers and Brutes, Dragonmaw Raiders 20 to 27
Duskwood Nightbane Worgen and Dark Runners 26 to 29

Our pick: the Blackrock orcs in Redridge. They are in the middle of the band and the camps are packed. Westfall’s Defias are the better choice if you are still under 18.

Best Wool Camps for the Horde

Zone Enemies Levels
The Barrens Bristleback Hunters, Water Seekers, Thornweavers and Geomancers, Witchwing Slayers, Venture Co. Enforcers 14 to 20
Silverpine Forest Vile Fin murlocs, Rot Hide gnolls, Dalaran Mages, Watchers and Wizards 15 to 20
Stonetalon Mountains Venture Co. Loggers, Deforesters and Operators, Bloodfury Windcallers 18 to 25
Hillsbrad Foothills Syndicate Watchmen and Shadow Mages, Hillsbrad Farmhands, Farmers and Miners 20 to 27
Thousand Needles Galak Scouts, Wranglers, Marauders and Maulers 24 to 28

Our pick: the Venture Co. loggers in Stonetalon. There are plenty of them and they sit right in the middle of the band. Our zone level ranges guide shows where each zone fits in your leveling route, so you can farm where you are questing anyway.

Hillsbrad Foothills is open to both factions, which also means contested camps on a PvP ruleset.

How to Get More Wool

  • Farm where the kills are fast. Cloth drops per kill, so a camp you can clear quickly beats a higher-level camp that takes twice as long.
  • Bank it while you level. Our Tailoring guide makes the same point: every stack you loot now saves Auction House gold later.
  • Buy it if your time is worth more. Our Auction House guide has the locations. Look for full stacks, since each stack holds 20.
  • Sell what you do not use. Our gold guide shows how a gathering profession on the same route adds to a farming run.

What Wool Is Used For

Use Details
Bolt of Woolen Cloth 3 Wool Cloth per bolt, for Tailoring
Woolen Reagent Bag An 8-slot bag for Forever’s separate reagent slot
Wool Bandage and Heavy Wool Bandage First Aid at about 80 to 150 skill: one cloth for the first, two for the heavy
Whirring Bronze Gizmo, Bronze Framework, Explosive Sheep Engineering at about 135 to 175 skill
Donation quests 60 Wool Cloth at a time, see below

Our First Aid guide and Engineering guide show how much you need at each stage. If you want to be sure a stack is worth keeping, our best professions for gold guide compares what crafters actually earn.

The New Wool Donation Quests

Forever adds a turn-in called A Donation of Wool, open from level 12. It asks for 60 Wool Cloth in exchange for recognition with a faction:

Side Quest giver Faction Location
Alliance Belanaa Windveil, High Order Cloth Quartermaster The High Order Alterac Mountains, about 11.6, 57.6
Horde Oura Stormspinner, Windshapers Cloth Quartermaster The Windshapers Mulgore, about 34.2, 22.5

Keep 60 back if you are chasing reputation with either faction. Every other guide is on our World of Warcraft hub.
