You’ll have all the cloth you need for your epic set upon touching level 70

Shadow’s Embrace (Additional mats required: Primal Water – 38, Netherweb Spider Silk – 8 )

You’ll be ready to buy the crafting of other pieces you need:

Spellstrike Infusion (Add. mats: 10 Primal Might)
or Battlecast Garb (Add. mats: 16 Primal Might) depending on your tastes

Girdle of Ruination (Add. mats: 16 Primal Fire) rare world drop epic pattern (thank u Wand3rbr3ad) so depends on server…

Depending on how fast you level your character you will have a variable quantity of cloths to sell at AH.

MATERIALS NEEDED:

You’ll need every week:

92 netherweave cloth (6 Bolts of Imbued Netherweave)
12 Arcane dust
2 x Primal Mana
4 x Primal Fire
2 x Primal Life
2 x Primal Water
2 x Primal Shadow

after level 60 you will tailor twice the shadowcloth at the same price.

You don’t need mooncloths at all but I strongly suggest you to craft all you can for selling/trading.

LOCATIONS:

Shadowcloth crafting needs to be at Altar of Shadows in Shadowmoon 58,70

Spellcloth crafting needs to be in Netherstorm and spawns a 70 elemental

Primal Mooncloth needs to stand by any Moonwell, I suggest the one in Darnassus or Shalandis Isle until you get 60+.

GUIDE CORE – THE CRAFTING:

1 ) Hearth to Shattrath

2 ) Fly to Area 52

3a) Stick to flight master and craft your spellcloth. Until you are not able to fight the elemental spawn, just fly back fast.

3b) Go near the ogre guards and craft your spellcloth. Until you are not able to fight the elemental spawn, hit the elemental and leave the ogres take care of him.
This is a little bit dangerous but you should be able to loot the drop (needed motes :P). If something goes wrong just take your body and fly back to Shattrath

5 ) whisper a friend for an appointment at Sanctum of the Stars or Wildhammer Stronghold if you are Draenei T_T (this is harder)
