I finished the Cloth farming guides. These guides will be updated if something changes in World of Warcraft. You can see all guides if you visit my farming guides page. Feel free to contact me any time if you know more great farming places.

I actually don't recommend to farm Linen Cloth if you have a high level character. Farming Linen Cloth takes time but instead of farming you could just buy the Cloths from the Auction House for a few gold and save a lot of time. Wool Cloth farming is recommended because it's usually expensive, and the places with instant mob respawns are really good.

If your level is high enough, Scarlet Monastery is a no brainer for farming Silk Cloth. Don't even think about going elsewhere. The same goes for farming Mageweave Cloth, go to Stratholme or Zul'Farrak if you can.

Blizzard already announced that there will be a new tier of crafted PvP gear with every new major content patch. It appears that instead of the new recipes, all of the crafted PVP gear will be getting upgraded when patch 4.2 goes live.

All existing recipes will be called "Bloodthirsty" instead of "Bloodied", the Tailoring crafted items don't have a prefix name currently, but now all of them will be called "Bloodthirsty" as well. This gear will have an item level of 358 instead of 339. There will be a new set bonus, 400 resilience rating.

This means you don't have to buy any new recipes, all of your recipes will be upgraded to the new version when patch 4.2 comes out.

However, existing gear made with the older version of the recipes will not be upgraded. Do not stockpile the crafted gear, it won't be upgraded.

These new crafted PvP items use the same materials as the old ones.

UPDATE - In 4.1, Blizzard finally changed it so profession supply vendors in capital cities now sell all the recipies/formulas/patterns that were originally only sold in Twilight Highlands. There is no level requirement. This is fantastic change, I'm going to update the guides as soon as I get home.

Patch 4.1 is coming tomorrow. There are only a few profession specific changes, so most of the guides remaned unchanged. Well, [Forged Documents] requires less Ink, but that's all.

Below you can find profession notes from the patch notes.

Professions

• All major cities will now have every type of profession trainer and their associated trade supply vendors.
• New Cooking and Fishing Dailies have been added to Darnassus, Ironforge, Thunder Bluff, and Undercity.

I have started to update the guides, it is most likely that I will upload most of the guides until the end of this week. Unfortunately I wasn't able to finish every profession in the beta, so Blacksmithing, Leatherworking, and Enchanting will be up to only 500-510 for few weeks, until I can test the new recipes or if there will be updated data on wowhead. I need two level 84 character for this, so this might take some time.

Patch 4.0.3a will be deployed on live servers this week and will change the world of Azeroth forever. This will affect my mining, herbalism and skinning guide. I was able to finish the mining guide and herbalism guide before they shut down the beta server, those two guides are already updated. I will do the skinning guide as soon as the servers come back online.

I also browsed through my guides, but it seems most of the vendor bought recipes aren't changed at all. There won't be any change for the rest of the professions with patch 4.0.3a, at least I couldn't find anything.

I know that most of the players who will try to get the Realm First! Illustrious Miner achievement are beta players. For those of you who weren't lucky enough to get a beta key, I made a guide which can help you to get this achievement. The mining routes on the maps are also the best routes to farm the ores on the first day when Cataclysm launches.

First, you need to have a mining skill of 450, that's pretty obvious for everyone I guess. It's also important to have the following enchant: [Formula: Enchant Gloves - Advanced Mining]. You need the enchant because you can leave Mount Hyal earlier this way at 470, and you will be able to mine Pyrite Deposit at 520 and Rich Elementium Vein at 495.

Each Primary profession gives certain advantages unique to practitioners of that profession. The crafting profession bonuses, by design, are all roughly comparable.

• Alchemy
  • [Lifebound Alchemist Stone] - Stamina

  • [Vibrant Alchemist Stone] - Intellect
