Stormrage Crafting

I hate to be a sour apple on this but players should check the Auction House prices on the Mooncloth material and the Travelers Backpacks (16 slot bags) there.  On Stormrage alliance side the Mooncloth has been usually around 15g for one piece; making the effective cost of a bag at around 30+g per bag.  The Travelers Backpacks can often be found with buyout prices of 15-25g per bag.  The use of Mooncloth for bags in my opion is a waste and should be saved for some of the other items that you cannot get an equivalent of from a dropped item. 

This is why I have walked away from realatively good chances of getting the Mooncloth Bag pattern on the AH several times in the past.  No point in going for something that I would never intend to use since it is seriously undermined by dropped items that have the exact same function to the character.

Ah, but if you have been a high level tailor for a while and stockpiled Mooncloth it doesn't "cost" you anything to make these. Just the minor cost of some runecloth and thread. There is some opportunity cost in mooncloth but in general I consider it worth it to use some for bags. Despite being lazy at times on making mooncloth I have made enough in time to make 7 bags, a robe, and a vest and I still have about 6 pieces left for future use. In this case why would I even pay for the Traveler's Backpack when I can make these mooncloth bags for "free." The only trick is to find someone who will make the bags for you for free and I know two (three?) of those people :)
