Latest Tailoring Strategy

Last night HolyWarrior went to Netherwing Ledge and did his dailies solely to pick up motes of earth!! He got 30 Motes and a few motes of fire.

Then EvilBastard went to Nagrand and ground the voidies. Now this was even worse. He spent anywhere between an hour and 2 hours (was a little drunk by then) and he picked up 16 motes of shadow. This morning I spent 20 minutes and got 2 motes. So it was probably more like 2 hours last night!! Thottbot says the drop rate is something like 20%. The thing is, they usually drop in lots of 2 or 3 so you actually have to kill 15 or so to get anything. Luckily I appear to have bought 4 Primal Shadows cheaply on the auction house when I was drunk the other night!!



EvilBastards materials bank also holds 106 Arcane Dust, 2 Bolts of Netherweave and 91 Netherweave. All the Netherweave will make 47 Bolts, totaling 49 Bolts of Netherweave. Add in 16 Arane Dust and and you have 8 Bolts of Imbued Netherweave and a bolt of netherweave left over.

Materials Possessed:
11.9 Primal Fire
5.3 Primal Earth
5.8 Primal Shadow
2.3 Primal Water
29 Bolts of Imbued Netherweave
1 Bolt of Netherweave Cloth
90 Arcane Dust

I have just compared this to the minimum materials I will need to reach level 375 and am not happy :( Lets split this into 4 slightly more manageable (read: less daunting) chunks!

First off we'll get to 365 and get make the shadow cloth required for the epic boots.

Strategy 1
OK, so that's not too bad, I just need to do a lot of mining in Netherwing Ledge, maybe I can persuade my 6 year old to do it!! He loves mining :P

Then make 3 Cloak of Eternity and remember to get the shadowcloths made.

Meanwhile kill any water elementals seen for Motes of Water to help in the next step

Note to self: Also get 1 x Primal Mooncloth and 1 x Spellcloth made and swap them with people!

Timescale:
Start: Now
End: Tuesday Evening

Conclusion:
I got bored grinding the Motes of Earth, due to the relative cheapness I may as well buy them at 4 gold each and best utilise my time grinding Motes of Water instead. So I bought the last 7 Primal Earths and went and ground 3 more Primal Water and made the last 2 Cloaks of Eternity which both gave me a skill point and went green at 365
