Poor tailor cloth drops in dungeons

Community General Discussion
1

I did several Normal, Heroic and Follower Rookery.
Normal: avg of 2 R1 Weavercloth and 2 R2 Weavercloth with maybe 1 or 2 Dawn/Dusk cloth.
Heroic is about the same except may if I’m lucky 50% more than normal.
However Follower gave avg of: 15 R1 Weavercloth, 15 R2, 10 R3. 10 to 12 R1/R2/R3 Duskweave/Dawnweave. 5 to 10 Weavercloth bolts.

Since xpac launch, unless I just run Follower dungeons all the time I have barely gotten enough Dawn/Dusk to make 1 or 2 epics.
Oh and this is with maxed out talents

So run Follower dungeons. It’s super easy. You never have to wait for a group to assemble and you will never get kicked.

True, but the drop really should be fixed for everything else.

…maybe it’s because the game is splitting the loot 5 ways in a dungeon group, but for follower dungeons, technically there’s only one valid player, so all the loot goes to you? :thinking:

Likely, but a horrible way to code it, because that would mean that a tailor in the group actually lowers the loot everyone else could get as well.

You need the knowledge points invested in the right tailoring skill tree nodes to really see any sort of effective cloth drops.

I remember getting a ton of cloth out of priory. I hate that dungeon :rofl:

8

I get no where near that amount from follower dungeons. You got extremely lucky that run.

dusk/dawnweave drops are severely undertuned even with the drop rate tree maxed out.

Its almost like the talent drop rate is only working in Follower dungeon.

11

I get plenty from running Delves. Make sure you have the knowledge tree that increases drops maxed out.

You can probably get more cloth from mining then drops off humanoid mobs…

definitely at least for the normal cloth. Sadly I get almost none of the Dawn/Dusk cloth from even elites, basically none at all. I haven’t seen any from elites/normal/rare/bosses outside of dungeons and even in dungeons its still under 5 per run unless its a Follower dungeon and then the drops are decent.

This. Lots of cloth drops from delves.

15

Do you know if the level matters? My tailor is my Mage and I hate doing high level delves on him.

16

I doubt it. The loot tables for the mobs are probably the same.

Depends on who is looking at the rates. For someone farming cloth, these rates are good, because they keep margins reasonable.

For someone wanting to buy mats to craft with, it’s bad, because cost is high.

Personally I think it’s good that cloth is still valuable this far in, usually it’s garbage that isn’t worth picking up by now.

…The vast majority are in a third category, those that need to use it. Not everyone is just selling cloth.

Your observations are correct.

They should really just allow cloth to drop off of everything for everyone like it did in the past. Tying the drops to people with the tailoring profession only (and webbed veins) was a miss.

I went into textile treasures first, thinking it would be helpful… but it wasn’t, some of these profession talents feel like a complete sham.

Of course I noticed getting a little when doing follower dungeons specifically, but all other content it has a really really bad drop rate. Dungeons, Delves and Raids all have awful drop rates… I’m not sure why you’re being gas lit by people claiming they get plenty from any of this content cause it’s not happening.

Another thing I find interesting about tailoring is when I make spools… it no longer matters what quality of cloth I use, it all makes silver quality spools of weaver thread. Talents have made my copper quality weavercloth produce silver quality spools, but when I use gold quality weavercloth I get the same exact thing, silver quality spools.

I actually did a test… because I wondered if I’d produce more actual spools using the gold quality weavercloth. I bought 1000 copper quality and 1000 gold quality weavercloth and unraveled them separately… I was actually surprised that the copper yielded me more spools.

I don’t know why I’m even interested in professions anymore with how wonky a lot of it operates.

If you max out the relevant knowledge skills (Weaving and Unraveling, under Quality Fabric) and get the blue profession items, 3* quality cloth will make 3* quality spools (without using concentration).
