Where to get Linen Cloth

Linen Cloth can't be gathered with a profession, crafted or bought from the Merchant — it drops from humanoid enemies and worgen, in the open world and in dungeons. No profession is needed.

How much drops

• the chance is 45% per fight you win against a humanoid;
• one roll per fight: a pack of 3–5 enemies gives the same single roll as a lone enemy;
• the amount depends on the enemy's level (counted no higher than your level + 5).

What dropped shows on the rewards screen, and the cloth goes into your Pouch.

In dungeons

In dungeons cloth drops with no chance roll and no loot roll — for every live party member after every fight won against humanoids and worgen: 1–2 from a wave (enemies up to level 20) or 2–3 (21–24), 2–3 or 3–4 from a boss. Enemies of level 25–44 drop Silk Cloth instead, and from 45 Runecloth. Linen drops in six dungeons of levels 10–28 — Dungeon materials. Resident allies get none.

Who counts as humanoid

Brigands, bandits, mercenaries, cultists, kobolds, gnolls, troggs, murlocs, centaurs, harpies, satyrs, orcs, trolls, dwarves and the like. Worgen are half-human: they drop cloth, plus a hide with Skinning. Giants drop only a hide (with Skinning). Beasts drop meat instead of cloth. In the open world undead, spirits, elementals, constructs, dragons and demons drop neither.

Where there are plenty

• Brightdale (land 1+): Kobold Pest and the boss Gnash;
• Western Marches (8+): Coastal Murloc, Murloc Shoal, Escaped Convict;
• Lakeridge (10+): Trogg Digger, Lake Gnoll, Gnoll Pack;
• Crimson Hills (15+): Crag Gnoll, Gnoll Gang, Outcast Orc;
• Silverwood (10+): Mist Worgen, Worgen Pack;
• Hillsbrook (24+): Syndicate Mercenary, Mercenary Squad, Dusk Wanderer;
• Scorching Sands and Wildshore (40+): Guild Hireling, murloc raiders.

All enemies by land are in the Enemy atlas, drop chances in Open-world loot.

What Linen Cloth is for

• Tailoring: it's woven into Wool Cloth (4 at skill 1, 3 from skill 50) and used for cloaks and cloth kits — Tailoring.
• First Aid: all 8 bandages are made of it, 1 to 16 pieces per recipe — First Aid.
• Engineering: the Fuse (skill 15).

The Merchant buys spare cloth at 4 copper apiece, but it pays better to list it at the Auction House or pass it on by Mail or Trade.

FAQ

Why didn't any cloth drop?

The chance is 45% — more than half of your fights end without cloth. And beasts, undead and elementals never drop it.

Do I need a profession?

No: any hero gets cloth, no gathering profession needed.
