Linen Cloth

Linen Cloth is highly sought after by low-level players and high-level characters alike. On many servers, it can be sold for a reasonable price in the Auction House (AH), making it a decent source of income for beginners. Players leveling through starting zones can easily collect dozens of stacks, which can be sold for 20 — 50 per stack, depending on server economy.

Why Farm Linen Cloth

Leveling Professions

Professions like Tailoring and First Aid require large amounts of Linen Cloth for leveling. It’s a key ingredient for crafting items and bandages in the early game.

Steady Income

Linen Cloth is always in demand, and selling it on the Auction House can provide a steady source of income for low-level characters. Depending on your server, a stack of Linen Cloth can fetch 20 — 50.

Ease of Farming

Linen Cloth drops from low-level humanoid mobs, which are easy to kill. New players can gather plenty of it while leveling through starting zones.

Supply for Alts

Players with multiple characters often farm Linen Cloth to support their alts in leveling professions without spending gold on the Auction House.
