Runecloth is a cloth item drop from humanoids in the 51-60 level range. It is rarer than  [Mageweave Cloth], but not as rare as  [Felcloth]. With the introduction of The Burning Crusade, this item was replaced as the most powerful normal cloth by  [Netherweave Cloth], which was then replaced by other cloths in subsequent expansions.

Places to farm

Number one farming place seems to be in Silithus. Twilight Avengers, located mainly north-west and south-west in Silithus, have a drop rate of 34% (According to www.wowhead.com, based on over 155,000 kills)

Those who have The Burning Crusade expansion can farm in Outland at the Hellfire Peninsula. Bleeding Hollow Peons (59), located in the south-east section of Hellfire Peninsula, have an average drop rate of 33% (According to www.wowhead.com, based on over 125,000 kills).

Possible farming locations:

• Lvl. 50+: Burning Steppes: The black dragonspawn, Firegut ogres, Blackrock orcs, and Dark Iron dwarves there drop runecloth and mageweave.
• Lvl. 50+: Winterspring: Winterfall furbolgs and undead in The Ruins of Kel'Theril drop runecloth regularly.
• Lvl. 55+: Blasted Lands, any humanoid or undead mobs.
• Lvl. 55+: Silithus: Twilight Cultists of all sorts.
• Lvl. 56+: Blackrock Depths (instance)
• Lvl. 57+: Blackrock Spire (instance)

Notes

Raw Runecloth, as it's dropped from monsters, can be used in a variety of tradeskill recipes. Most notably it creates  [Runecloth Bandage] and  [Heavy Runecloth Bandage] with First Aid. It's also needed for the runic leather line of Leatherworking, and four pieces of Runecloth can be combined to form one  [Bolt of Runecloth] with Tailoring.

The bolts are used for most of the high-end Tailoring recipes, sometimes mixed with  [Felcloth] or  [Mooncloth].
