Well, unluckily I have learnt "Northern Cloth Scavenging" and NOW it is impossible for me to drop Frostweave Cloth... Without that, drop was pretty good, but now it really sucks and should be fixed. Hopefully you fix it soon, because it is really hard to skill tailoring with this "improvement" for Frostweave Cloth drops.
My Death Knight can gather the clothes well, each dropping mob even gave me 7 clothes at once sometimes
I would like to point out it isn't impossible, just rare. A lot of mobs in Icecrown will drop Frostweave at a rate of about 5% (even with Northern Cloth Scavenging), but you get 4-7 pieces when it happens. It help if you are a good AoE class and have a fast flying mount so you can quickly round up mobs. You can also turn in Vrykul Bones to The Bone Witch to get buffs that will make farming easier.
This still should be fixed, but try to refrain from being overly dramatic by claiming it is impossible to get Frostweave.
I was testing with my "non-tailor" friend how many frostweave he can farm and how much can I. Same location, same mobs.
He got like 10 stacks of it, within hour, I could barely get 1.
I rest my case.
Edit: Btw. Malaco responded in Bugtracker saying that they did make a change regarding drop rates, and that they will look what is the problem.
TLDR: Bug is confirmed, they should fix it.
Hopca did you even read my post? I told you where to go if you are in desperate need of cloth. I'm a tailor with Northern Cloth Scavenging as well, I'm not making this **** up. Yes the drop rate is bugged, but in the mean time you can still get like 5-6 stacks an hour in Icecrown by AoE Farming the undead and humanoids there.
this talent reduce drop rate SIGNIFICALLY
well done warmane
now i have to unleran then learn and level taoiloring again
Just to clarify how bad this is. I finished all quests in Howling Fjord and had 5 Frostweave Cloth. Not stacks single cloth!!! If I had known about this Scavenging perk I would have never learned it.
hos is this not a priority?
frost weave drops in the northrend place go there
