WoW Tailoring Guide 1 - 450

This WoW Tailoring guide will show you the fastest and easiest way how to get your Tailoring skill up from 1 to 450. Updated for WoW patch 3.3

If you want to level your Tailoring, you will need thousands of cloths and cloths are not cheap. You can farm them or buy them from the auction house, if you buy the Cloths you will need a lot of gold. Tailoring is the best combined with Enchanting, because you will be able to disenchant most of the items you make, however an Enchanter friend can do it for you too. Check out my Enchanting guide if you are interested in leveling Enchanting.

If you are low on gold, I recommend you to try this Gold Making Guide, it can help you to make loads of gold. If you are still leveling your character or you just started a new alt, I recommend you to use a leveling guide. You can level your character from 1 to 80 in 7 days with this guide. My personal record is 4 days 5 hours played time, but it was with heirlooms.

Keep in mind, this WoW Tailoring guide is made to level your profession as fast as possible, so sometimes the cloths you will make might not be the best items for your level or they won't be really profitable if you want to sell them.

Tailoring specializations

Tailors of lvl 60 or higher with a skill of 350 or greater now can choose a Tailoring Specialization. Each of these three specializations allow the tailor access to a number of self only recipes and will allow the tailor to make twice as much of one kind of new cloth as a tailor without this Specialization. Each specialization also provides recipes specific bind-on-pickup cloth gear.

  • Mooncloth tailoring (Healing): Allows the tailor access to learn the patterns for the Bind on Pickup Primal Mooncloth Set, and to create an additional primal mooncloth at a moonwell.

    • You should make around 20 of these, it depends on your luck. The recipe goes yellow at 430 and green at 440, but you should make these because you will sell them at AH anyway, so you will get most of your gold back. Don't flood the AH, only put in a few bags at once. It might take weeks or even months before you sell all of them. Try to make Bags for your friends, tell them to bring the materials for it.

    Per Frostweave Bag:
    60 x Frostweave Cloth
    12 x Infinite Dust
    2 x Eternium Thread

  • 440 - 450
    When you reach 440 you will be able to make new epic recipes, try to find players who need those epic items and craft the items for them if they bring the materials. You can also continue to make [Frostweave Bags].
