Tips

        Always learn the next rank before you hit the soft cap (50/125/200/225/300/350).
Keep bandages on your bars for Hardcore runs; Heavy Runecloth is a lifesaver.
Cloth farms: Deadmines/Stockades (Linen/Wool), Zul'Farrak (Mageweave), Stratholme (Runecloth), Shattered Halls (Netherweave), Icecrown mobs (Frostweave).
Sell excess Heavy Frostweave on raid reset days—demand spikes for healers and tanks.
