Cloth Gear Guide for Leveling

Intro

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. Well, now with this guide you should have no troubles or worries and can focus 100% on your other goals.

1-12

Your gear through 1-12 should be irrelevant as there are few decent pieces to be had and gear makes little impact this early. However, you should have at least every slot besides Head, Necklace, Rings, and Trinkets filled with a white or grey quality item.

13-20

Now here is when both factions start getting some good options, in the gear department. If you are Horde side, one of the must haves are the Crystalline Cuffs from Ragefire Chasm. These are not hard to get and will last a bit and will probably be your first Rare item. The Robe of Evocation is also a good choice, but not necessary as you will want to get the Robes of Arugal at first chance from Shadowfang Keep. Spidersilk Boots from Tailoring are some fantastic boots to http://www.wowwiki.com/index.php?title=Leveling_Cloth_Gear&action=edithave, whether you have Tailoring or not. Now, depending on your faction getting Gold-flecked Gloves may be easier to obtain from the Deadmines or Serpent Gloves from the Wailing Caverns are. They have the same bonuses, which are pretty decent, so its up to you to grab either one. In the pants slot, any of the Eagle item will do for these levels. Mages, you need to grab Belt of Arugal from Shadowfang Keep for sure when you can. Priests and Warlocks, I'd recommend getting the Ghamoo-ra's Bind from Blackfathom Deeps. As for rings, Lavishly Jeweled Ring from the Deadmines and Deep Fathom Ring from Wailing Caverns do the job great. If you want to get the Level 18 Rings from Warsong Gulch, don't let me stop you. But I want all the items in this guide to be fairly accessible to any player. In the necklace slot, anything you find is better then nothing. But don't waste any silver buying a necklace with horrible stats. And as for cloaks, the ones you should consider are Sporid Cape from Wailing Caverns, Tranquillien Champion's Cloak from hitting exalted in the Ghostlands, or Miner's Cape from the Deadmines.

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.

Head

In these levels, Head gear isn't immediately available and important. But there is still some goodness to be had! Electromagnetic Gigaflux Reactivator from Gnomeregan is easily the best headpiece to have, but also the hardest to obtain. If you want my opinion, stick with a Azure Silk Hood or better yet, grab yourself a Moonsoul Crown

Necklace

Nothing too noteworthy here that you MUST have. Amulet of the Moon is the best choice from Jewelcrafting.

Shoulders

Not the coolest looking slot for early cloth gear, but still very important. In your early 20s, Feline Mantle from Shadowfang Keep is the way to go. As you near 30, you MUST have Berylline Pads from a quest reward in Razorfen Kraul.

Back

Any of the Eagle item does well here.

Chest

Either keep your Robes of Arugal, upgrade to Death Speaker Robes from Razorfen Kraul or get Dustfall Robes from Hillsbrad Foothills from a quest if you are Alliance. Horde, get Mordant's Travel Tunic from a quest in Dustwallow Marsh if you must.

Wrist

Silkstream Cuffs from Desolace. Enough said.

Hands

Alliance, get Insulated Sage Gloves from Alterac Mountains and Horde, you will have to deal with any good of the Eagle item.

Waist

A good Crimson Silk Belt from Tailoring holds its own here.

Legs

Gaze Dreamer Pants and Leech Pants from Blackfathom Deeps are the best ways to go.

Feet

Kodo Rustler Boots from Desolace are just great.

Finger

Few upgrades, but Lonetree's Circle from Dustwallow Marsh for Horde is really nice and Ring of Forlorn Spirits from Duskwood for Alliance is good, too.
