I found a place in the Valley of the Fallen Heros in Icecrown where Fallen hero’s Spirit – yellow mobs run past you , and you can pick one off at time, – or as many as you want. They keep comming in a constant stream.
Depending on how many ran past in a group I would dot one, then another, and if I got more then three would use Mind sear. if I took on Six of them I would sometimes have issues, but because they don’t instantly agro you ( as they are yellows) you can take on what ever load you feel comfortable with.
Fallen hero’s spirits seem to have a decent cloth drop table, Thott says 30% drop rate. I also got a Level 73 blue off one, and a smattering of greys and whites and greens.
Its a matter of placement, there is a section in the corridor where the Spirits run past - I camped out the spot just before where they get converted to a Converted Hero – and the mobs are red.


Edit: I’m going to justify some reasons why this is a good place – these reasons may not apply to everyone /class
All the mobs are melee - No trying to get casters in to AOE range.
Its easy to get them in group to Aoe.
All the mobs are yellow – and will only agro if you are agressive to them. This makes it easier to pick off how many you want.
They don’t hit hard = 200-5oo on cloth
They don’t ever run out – you can stand in the same spot for hours and they will keep running past you at intervals – in singles – in groups
They aren’t required for a quest _ ( or if they are no one else has been killing them ) so your not competing/depriving people of mobs needed. Means less competition for the kills and an easier farm



Thanks alot, will check it out!
Ooh, thanks, I’ll have to check that spot out. I’ve been farming in the cave and outside of the Obsidian Dragonshrine in northern Dragonblight — everything in there potentially drops the cloth, and at level 80, I can easily take a good six or seven of those guys and Mind Sear them to death. I’ll check out Icecrown, though – haven’t actually quested there yet (trying to go back through and finish out all of the zones I didn’t finish, really, so I can get the Northrend Loremaster achievement and get the pattern for that nifty Deathchill Cloak.)
Excellent information.
Bookmarked
Nice find. I found a nice place too in the Basin… You know the place with the freakishly tall NPC looking over a shallow lake that has undead fighting flowers? Me and a mage friend farmed this place for awhile (lvl 73ish undeads) and we were having problems keeping up with the spawn rate! Getting out of combat to drink became an issue at some points lol. Sometimes the flowers will even tank the mobs you dot for a time.
I like the corridor because the mobs never run out – they just keep running past!
But I will check out the other places you guys mentioned too and see.
This has a very low drop rate
Yay! Exactly the kind of information I love to get my hands on. Thank you, thank you!
I tried this spot this weekend, and have to say it is very good. The supply of mobs is pretty constant and the fact that they are neutral helps in not having to hide away for drinking etc.
As a mage, two things were issues though.. Firstly, they run quite fast, so you struggle to pull with frostfire bolt or any other long cast spell. Secondly, the times I got greedy by picking loads of the runners and decided to frost nova and aoe them, more runners would inevitably run under the blizzard and aggro.
Still, a good find and I saw a few other people using the same spot over the weekend as well. As a bonus, the rare giant in Ice crown happened to walk past during my grind as well, which notched up that achievement for me!
Yeap you were right!

Honestly, though, I havn’t gotten leveled up to hit that spot yet, but it’s on my radar for when I get a bit more experience.
Ideal place for a lock to get his Frostweave Clothes. Just have your void on and pew pew them all! Thanx for the tip!
Great spot to farm. Thank you for finding this place and writing about it. Now getting my DK up to 77 so I can fly her in and AOE everything for the cloth.
THANX! im not a tailer,so i really dont need any frostweave cloth but they sell for alot of my sever,i can make about 3kg,in about 5 days,if i do it non stop!!! thanx!!!
um just to post that these guys for me are converted heros and they arnt nuetral they are hostile also surrounded by banner carriers
just wondering if this is just an ally spot or not
.peace
Your not far enough North – the Guys your seeing are basically where the yellow ones end up when they run down. Just up a little further
Thank you for the information! It was very useful!
Best place to farm. Just stand in one spot and mow them down when they come to you
Thanks for the info, I went to this spot and its great. It seems slow at first, but during busier hours (and thanks to phasing I think) theres more people in the area, so they come down on you like a waterfall. Few hours and I had 400+ frostweave, vendored 92g worth of gray items, 11 Greater Cosmic Essences, a stack or 2 of dust, and a couple hundred gold just from the mobs.
I camped this spot on Bloodhoof for an hour…got ZERO frostweave….lots of vendor trash though…..
@Scott – I’m amazed your patience lasted an hour, you should definitely seen some cloth if you were killing any humanoids in that area,
BORING PLACE, EVERY 10 OR MORE KILLS YOU GET 1 FROSTWEAVE, THEN AFTER THAT SECOND O THIRD DROPS 4 IN ONE TONS OF GREYS, MOB LVL 79, EASY TO KILL BUT I CAN’T CONSIDE THIS PLACE AS THE BEST PLACE TO FARM FROSTWEAVE. GOOD LUCK NERDS!
ONE LAST THING.. THEY ARE NOT HUMANOIDS THEY FALLEN HEROES ARE UNDEAD
@Sicky. THANKS! they are still humanoidal.. but in the true sence of the word yes they are undead. Cheers for the feedback on the farming spot, it may not work for everyone – wishing you the best in finding a good spot..
Raid FFB Spec Mage ; Naxx 25 Geared – farmed this place for about an hour and got about 10 stacks of frostweave, ~100-150g in silver, and tons of items. Not better than mining / herb on my server, but if you aren’t a gatherer it’s pretty good.
After reading the comments above, I think you need to be a tailor (I am), to get significant drops on cloth.
The only complaint I can imagine anyone would have would be that it’s hard to find time to loot all the corpses! There could not be a better place to farm frostweave. In an hour and a half, I picked up 37g in grays, 10 stacks of frostweave and eleven green items. Thank you!
So I respeced my pally prot(time to use all that offspec gear gathering dust) and my gf respecced her mage frost and we went to town, the drop rate for cloth and vends is excellent and it didn’t take more than about half an hour for her to have about 4 stacks of cloth between the two of us, however, she is a tailor so she gets extra cloth drops.
You’ve given me my new favorite spot to farm for frostweave. So glad I stumbled across this post.
As a discipline priest I can grab 4 at a time comfortably, more if I feel like blowing my shadowfiend cooldown, DoT and holy nova them down nicely. The mobs usually drop at least one frostweave, sometimes more. Like another comment said, the only problem I had was that sometimes a stray mob or two might aggro in to AoE range, but I haven’t died from it yet.
I was trying the Sholazar Basin area near the Avatar, all the undead there. Their respawn rate is very high, however people are questing there and they’re more spaced out than I’d like. Your Icecrown location is much better. ^^
If anyone reading this is too low for Icecrown, Sholazar would be my second pick.
Happy farming!
Holy shit is all i have to say. I spent only 45 mins in this spot and I already have 4 stacks of frostweave and 4 greens. Bravo =D
This places isnt that good at all. the only good thing is you dont have to move.
A much better place is the suntouched pillar in sholazar basin – you work through the camp killing the humanoids who have a great drop rate, and then by the time you’re through they’ve respawned.
MUCH better than here.
great spot me ( ffb mage) and my mate ( Demon lock ) i constantly blizz he constantly rain o’ fires until we have bout twenty i freeze em then we do it again
Thanks tons for this i got enough frostweave,greys,greens and silver that it got me 1kg in about 6 hours
very nice find, here are the results
Time : around 1 hour
Gold : Over 100g NOT INCLUDING GRAYS
Grays : loads of em
Cloth : 10 Stacks
Greens : 5-6
I think this place got nerfed. I was seeing 8-9stacks/hour of frostweave and today I only saw 1.5 stacks in 30mins so meh. I’ll try back later and see if there’s an increase. Otherwise its back to SB for me.
I tried this spot, didn’t get squat. Just a bunch of fur clothing scraps – ZERO frostweave.
I checked my spot out then, and in 15 mins I got 54 pieces of cloth, various greys, food, and 2 pots – no greens, It doesnt seem to have been nerfed, It could be just sheer numbers of kill in the time period though, I use my aoe, and little tricks to keep chain pulling – I’d like to hear more feedback for the spot if anyones keen.
frost mage. could not frost nova them to keep them from killing me. nerfed? idk first time i’ve been there. but unless you can sit through massive beatings it doesnt look like you can kite them
I found the Gnolls outside K3 in Stormpeaks to be not that bad. Easy kills being level 75-76, fast respawns and quite a nice amount of cloth. Some mobs even drop 4-6 cloths if you have the Tailoring cloth buff.
Downfall is that you have to run around a little, and the mobs are needed for a quest, therefore you might annoy people if they’re questing on them.
But it’s allright really, unless you really want to go hardcore farming.
i don’t wanna be a dick or anything but..the fallen heros spirit
has like a 2% drop rate on the cloth..and the converted has a 44% drop…so uhm..i think them being aggressive is worth it…might wanna check that out guys
Feedback is good!
Well I have tried the spirits in Icecrown yesterday, and it’s be far the best cloth farming spot you can get.
The flow of mobs is constant, and apart from the odd mob here and there without cloth drops, most of them do.
Add that to my tailoring cloth buff, and i’m doing a stack every 5 mins.
Highly recommended spot, especially if you’re a tailor.
I’ve been out here farming, I think it is a good place. I initially went out there without the northrend cloth scavenger thing with another person and in an hour we only had a stack and a half of cloth between us. Then I went back out there after getting my tailoring up so I could get the northrend cloth scavenging thing. (I just recently decided to pick up tailoring.) Here is what I got in 1 hour of timed farming as an afflic lock. I also sent my money to an alt so I could see exactly how much money I would loot.
7 Full stacks and 8 pieces of frostweave cloth
4 Runic Health Potions
1 Runic Mana Potion
6 Greys
4 Stacks of cloth scraps
3 Scrolls
14 Frostcaps
2 honeymint Teas
5 Greens
50 gold and 80 silver
After vendoring the greys, cloth scraps, and scrolls, I had 83 gold and 50 silver. Not too shabby for 1hr. After disenchanting the greens I also had 12 infinite dust and 2 greater cosmic essence. Along with 29 bolts of frostweave for my tailoring. So all total in 1hr of farming I walked away with 29 bolts of frostweave, 12 pieces of infinite dust, 2 greater cosmic essence, some potions and 83 gold. This will definitely be my farming spot from now on as a tailor.
I fount this video:

Same Place
Thats pretty awesome.. still glad its a good spot for other people too
I don’t think these folks who are complaining are actually reading the thread. There’s a key difference here: The tailors (with Northern Cloth Scavenging, I would presume) are all stoked, and everyone else is whining. Think there may be a correlation? And honestly, if you’re not a tailor, what do you need to farm massive amounts of Frostweave for? I dunno, my Huntard (only upper-level char who has/needs First Aid) always manages to use less cloth for bandages than he picks up just by questing… not so with my tailor priest
And I can’t think of any other prof that requires the use of cloth en masse…
Great feedback – will check this out tonight. It does seem that tailors will get more out of it though & as a mage I’m wondering whether healing will come into it. Only time will tell! Cheers for the thread
Im a protwarrior, so my spot isnt very useful to squishies, with it beeing un-slowable (but stunnable) dudes that Pirecing Howl and Mortal Strike.
But juuuust SW of the spot mentioned here, is 8packs of Fallen Heroes. grab 2-3 packs of them, enjoy my 45% shieldblock rate making me untouchable, and AoE them down. ^_^
Best place to o this is 47, 47
Spot isnt farmable anymore, killed over 50 of them and only dropped 4 cloth :/
What level are the mobs there 78, 80? I am only 74, but I am definitely looking forward to getting there!
Yeah I have the tailoring buff farmed here for 1 hour and got 1 stack of frostweave 3 deaths and the rest in greys.
Not too good of a spot sorry I had much better luck in sholazar
Hi guys,
Just wanted to thank the poster, and try to clarify some problems people are having regarding the farm spot.
To get the most out of this farming place, you need to have Northrend Cloth Scavenger abillity that you learn from a tailoring trainer. With this skill u got up to 4 stacks of cloth only in 20-30mins of farming. This means that the people that posted here saying they didnt get ANY cloth, either they’re lying, or they dont have this abillity, or both.
Its an amazing farming place for tailors, other people just stay away ’cause its a waste of time.
Thank you so much for the information. I’ve been looking for a great place to farm and I’m frankly astounded that you let this little secret out. A lot of players (including me) would keep it a secret if we found out about something like this.
But, this is what makes your blog good. You’re not afraid to share the information with other players. Nice example for every WoW player. Much appreciated.
Thanks.
Excellent spot also used by rogues for levelling lockpicking as the mobs have a decent droprate on lockboxes
wt is the monstor called tht drops frostweave and the lvl
This was one of the most helpful tips I have ever had the pleasure to succeedin at toying with… in 1an a half hours I got 80 BOLTS of Frostweave… Im talkin 400 Frostweave… w0w0w0w0ww0w0w… if you any other awesome places or tricks or anything I would be totally at your mercy, thx again you ROCK email me :0
This is an amazing spot. I’ve been farming it for 20 minutes maybe a little more and already have… made about 20 g in loot silver. Almost four stacks of Frostweave. And a ton of greys! I’m a tailor, so this is definately my favorite spot now.
Oh didn’t mention. I’m a hunter level 80, got mostly level 200 gear, and my dps is around 2500. So I can take on about 4-6 comfortably with my pet and in tank mode. And I’m not using pvp gear if i was, geez probably more.
From my last post til now, I went up another 20 gold. I have now in total about 20 frost weave bolts (that’s 5 per bolt you do the math.).
Definately best thing about this? You sit in one spot. You don’t have to navigate an instance, it’s not too hard for you like some frostweave instances. Soloing is simple for this. There is an abundant supply, and not very much company around so the farming is allll yours. and even if there was. lol there’s plenty of these guys to go around.
yeah had to add a few more cents to my previous post. This is a breath of relief that’s for sure.
