Guild Wars 2

Drops are usually of my own level (80)… and most cloth comes from salvaging the cloth armors of that cloths lower level… so anyone got any tips on how to get lower level cloths?

Sell own level cloth, buy low level cloth.

Have a new low level character to farm that lower level cloth again. ^^

The bags that most humanoid mobs drop sometimes have cloth in them. Try farming those mobs for bag drops. Good sources are Svanir (sp), Skritt, Bandits, Centaurs, and others.

Salvage low lvl gear. If you plan on getting map completion with a character, you will pass through several low lvl areas where it drops in bags as killcannon said, or you will get low lvl drops to salvage as well.

When I first started this game, I thought at one time I should farm bandits for the fabrics, but I soon learned its faster and funner to just complete starter areas for each race, and get from above mentioned sources.

Not sure if it’d work as I haven’t tried it yet but try going to Queensdale and buying level 5-10 armor, you know the white stuff from npcs. Try salvaging that. If it works it might be cheaper than just buying it. Or not, who knows, just an idea.

Kill low-level humanoid enemies (like bandits, grawl etc). They can drop bags of loot that might contain cloth, but also frayed pieces of cloth that are guaranteed to salvage into one or more pieces of cloth.

Bandits for fabrics
Centaurs for leathers (they love leather)
Kessex Hills (northern part), Queensdale (near the defend the ranch event is like a Bandit Factory)
Harathi Hinterlands = Leather City

They’re 43% leather!

To add to this, if you’re after Wool Scraps, the numerous bandit camps in Brisban Wildlands (aim for the level 21+ areas) drop large amounts of Worn Garments that can be salvaged for Wool. Take care not to get caught inside the camp when a boss spawns, however!

I would just sell the silk etc. but I’ll need that for later as well.

I have 40 80’s… not interested in making a 5th xD

I’ll give all those humanoid suggestions a try

Thanks ^^

I’m having a hard time finding cotton drops too. Think I might bite the bullet and make a buy order on the TP.
