U4GM WoW Forever Tailoring Bag Costs and Cloth Farming

Since the November 11 hotfix, five Tailoring bags in WoW Forever require one more bolt of cloth, so their material cost has risen by 20 to 25 percent before the November 17 Auction House maintenance. That makes Wool, Silk, and Mageweave more valuable to gatherers, while Tailors need to recalculate margins and may use WoW Forever Gold for new bags or crafting materials when their current funds fall short.

How the extra bolt changes bag costs

The hotfix affects the Red Mageweave Bag, Green Silk Pack, Black Silk Pack, Green Woolen Bag, and Red Woolen Bag. Their new requirements are five bolts, five bolts, six bolts, five bolts, and five bolts respectively, so every listed bag needs more cloth than before.

Bag size remains part of the decision, but the cost per slot now matters more. The Red Mageweave Bag gives 14 slots, the two Silk bags give 12 each, and both Woolen bags give 10, so Tailors should compare capacity with the current price of each cloth type.

1 Farm cloth at the matching level

This route suits players who want to earn currency while levelling instead of buying every material from the Auction House. Humanoid enemies remain the relevant source, and the best target depends on the character's level and the cloth tier needed by local Tailors.

Choose a camp that keeps kills steady without making the farming trip inefficient.

• Wool Cloth appears earlier, mainly through the teens and low 20s, making it useful for the two 10-slot Woolen bags.

• Silk Cloth drops from the mid-20s into the 30s, and Angerfang Encampment in the Wetlands suits characters around levels 26 to 32.

• Mageweave Cloth drops in the 40s, while Lost Rigger Cove in Tanaris suits characters around levels 44 to 50.

Matching the camp to your level helps keep supply consistent. If you are below the suggested range, slower kills can reduce the value of the trip; if you are above it, a denser or more suitable farming area may be preferable, but the material tier must still match the bags you plan to sell.

2 Pick bags by slots per bolt

This comparison helps Tailors decide what to craft after checking current cloth prices. It also helps cloth sellers understand which material has the strongest immediate connection to bag production.

Start with the capacity and then account for the added bolt requirement.

• The Red Mageweave Bag is the largest option at 14 slots and now requires five Mageweave bolts.

• The Green Silk Pack and Black Silk Pack each hold 12 slots, but the Green Silk Pack needs five Silk bolts while the Black Silk Pack needs six.

• The Green Woolen Bag and Red Woolen Bag each hold 10 slots and now require five Wool bolts.

The Green Silk Pack is the cheaper 12-slot choice by material count, while the Red Mageweave Bag offers the most space. That does not guarantee the highest profit, because the Auction House price of Silk or Mageweave can change the margin, and Tailors should price from current inputs rather than older recipes.

3 Time listings around the Auction House change

This step matters most to players selling cheap cloth stacks or moving bags through the market. The planned changes are scheduled for weekly maintenance on November 17, or November 18 in Europe, so the date and region affect the timing.

Use the current deposit and mail rules when deciding what to post before maintenance.

• Until November 17, the minimum listing deposit is 1 silver, which makes repeated listings of cheap stacks more expensive.

• The first version of the planned change lowered that minimum deposit to 1 copper, so small material listings would cost far less to post if that version goes live.

• Auction purchases and sales currently arrive in about two minutes, while the first listed plan restores a 60-minute mail delay.

Cheap cloth sellers may prefer to hold large volumes until after maintenance, when the lower deposit could make smaller listings easier to manage, though extra competition may follow. High-value bags can be listed before maintenance because a 1-silver deposit is small beside their sale price, while rapid cloth flipping becomes less practical after the longer mail delay.

What should you do with cloth and bags now

Farm Silk or Mageweave at a suitable level camp, sell cloth while Tailors adjust to the extra bolt, and reprice every bag from current material costs; list valuable bags before November 17, but consider holding cheap stacks until the deposit change is active. Players short on funds for that plan can use World of Warcraft Forever Gold for sale as a next step for bags and crafting needs while checking the final Auction House timing for their region.
