WoW Tailoring Guide 1-450

Updated for WoW patch 3.0.3

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

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. You also need to realize this is not a leveling guide, so if you are looking for a leveling guide, the best one is this 1 - 80 Leveling Guide.

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 realy profitable if you want to sell them.

Tailoring guide sections:

Tailoring Apprentice 1 - 75
Tailoring Journeyman 75 - 125
Tailoring Expert 125 - 210
Tailoring Artisan 210 - 260
Tailoring Master 260 - 350
Tailoring Grand Master 350 - 450


Approximate Materials Required for 1-450:

  • 160 Linen Cloth
  • 55 Coarse Thread
  • 225 Wool Cloth
  • 57 Fine thread
  • 10 Gray Dye
  • 760 Slik Cloth

  • 440-450 is not included, do the insane amount of gold and materials needed for it, and it's almost pointless to go further 440.

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.
  • Shadoweave tailoring (Shadow / Frost): Allows the tailor to learn the patterns for the Bind on Pickup Shadow's Embrace set, and to create an additional shadowcloth at the Altar of Shadows.

350 - 450

Go to Nothrend and learn Tailoring Grand Master.

  • 425 - 440
    20 x [Frostweave Bag] - 120 Bolt of Imbued Frostweave, 40 Eternium Thread

    • 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:
    90 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. If you want 450 that badly, you should continue to make [Frostweave Bag]. There is only one recipe that requires more then 440 Tailoring skill, It's [Glacial Bag], you need Tailoring 445 for it.

I hope you liked this Tailoring Guide, GZ to 450!
