Leveling cloth gear

During your trips in Azeroth as a Priest, Mage, or Warlock, you are bound to run through a mass load of cloth armor. Now you may be confused as to what to get or where to get it and how long to keep it for. With this guide you should have no troubles or worries and can focus 100% on your other goals.

1-15
Throughout these early levels you will find very few decent pieces of gear, with the exception of the odd uncommon item from questing. However, you should have at least every slot besides head, necklace, rings, and trinkets filled with a white or grey quality item.

15-20
Now here is when both factions start getting some good options in the gear department. If you haven't found a wand already, you can get a Lesser Magic Wand crafted to help when you run out of mana.

You may now use the Dungeon Finder tool to easily find instances, and perhaps get some gear. Although you are not required to use the dungeon finder, there is an guaranteed rare item from the Satchel of Helpful Goods (level 25) at the end of a random dungeon. The items you may get in this range are Enumerated Wrap and Tumultuous Cloak with random stat enchantments. You also get instantly teleported to the dungeon, which makes cross-faction favored dungeons accessible.


 * Dungeons:
 * 15+ Ragefire Chasm: The must-have items from this short dungeon are the Crystalline Cuffs and Robe of Evocation.
 * 15+ Deadmines: Gold-Flecked Gloves, Emberstone Staff, Lavishly Jeweled Ring, Cookie's Stirring Rod may all drop here, so it's definitely worth a visit. For healers there's Corsair's Overshirt.
 * 15+ Wailing Caverns: Robe of the Moccasin, Serpent Gloves, Sporid Cape, Living Root, Slime-Encrusted Pads and Deep Fathom Ring all drop here. Since most of this gear has spirit on it (not an ideal stat for mages or warlocks) this place is best avoided in favor of another instance. It is, however, a great place for healers to gear up.
 * 18+ Shadowfang Keep: Robes of Arugal is an upgrade over the RFC drop and a must-have for any clothie. Eerie Stable Lantern and Feline Mantle also drop here.


 * Crafted: Spidersilk Boots from Tailoring are fantastic, but may not be worth the cost. Rings from Jewelcrafting, such as Woven Copper Ring, Elegant Silver Ring or Bronze Band of Force can be used to fill those empty slots.
 * Vendors: The level 18 PvP items from Kelm Hargunth are a viable alternative although they are harder to acquire as they require Honor Points. Items sold by Provisioner Vredigar (requiring Tranquillien reputation) are a good choice for any players who leveled in Ghostlands.

20-30
Whee, these levels are sure to be fun no matter what class you are and its an important journey making it through these ten levels. Here is where the right gear can decide either a valiant champion or a forgotten fighter.


 * Dungeons:
 * 20+ Stormwind Stockade: Noble's Robe (Stockade), Corpse Rompers and Girdle of Nobility are perfect for any clothie.
 * 20+ Blackfathom Deeps: Rod of the Sleepwalker, Gaze Dreamer Pants, Leech Pants, Ghamoo-Ra's Bind. Don't forget the optional boss Old Serra'kis for a chance at Glowing Thresher Cape.


 * Crafted: Azure Silk Hood from Tailoring, or Moonsoul Crown from JC (for healers) are the way to go to fill the head slot item. Amulet of the Moon from JC is the best neck choice. Tailoring can be used to supplement item drops or quest rewards, with items such as Crimson Silk Belt.
