This War Within Tailoring leveling guide will show you the fastest and cheapest way to level your War Within Tailoring skill up from 1 to 100.
Tailoring can be combined with any profession because it doesn't need a gathering profession to support it. Pairing it with Herbalism, Mining, or Skinning can be a great way to get some extra gold while doing activities in WoW. Enchanting is also popular because it doesn't require a gathering profession.

Leveling Khaz Algar Tailoring
First Craft Bonus
You will earn 1 Khaz Algar Tailoring Knowledge talent point each time you craft an item for the first time. This knowledge is highly valuable and has a weekly cap from other sources.
Sometimes, I recommend crafting a recipe that's a bit more expensive. That's because I believe it's worth getting the bonuses while they still grant you skill points. You'll want to obtain all of them eventually.

Mosswool Thread is sold by the Tailoring supply vendor near your trainer.
Tailoring Specializations
When you hit 25, you will unlock Tailoring Specializations.
You'll eventually be able to learn all four specializations, so there's no need to worry about your initial choice. You'll need 50 skill points to unlock the second specialization, 60 for the third and 75 for the fourth.
I suggest checking out my War Within Tailoring Specialization Guide. It covers every specialization and sub-specialization in detail, and I also include some example builds to help you get started.

The recipe will be green for the last 5 points, so you will probably have to make more.
I recommend choosing From Dawn Until Dusk as your third specialization if you haven’t selected it yet. It provides additional opportunities to level up your professions.
65 - 91
For levels 65-91, you can craft any of these Optional Reagents, Bags, or Spellthreads based on your available recipes.
Optional Reagents, Bags and Spellthreads
All of these recipes turn yellow at level 80 and green at level 90. They don't require any Bind on Pickup (BoP) crafting reagents and can be sold at the Auction House.
If you have a lot of alts, the Duskweave Bag is the most useful item you can craft. You can also sell them at the Auction House, but expect heavy competition, as many players will undercut you, so it may take some time to sell all of them.
If you're not too concerned about losing gold, crafting the Duskthread Lining or Dawnthread Lining is a good option. They're cheaper to make, but won't yield a profit.

91 - 100
The Optional Reagents, Bags and Spellthreads give skill points up to 100. But, the last few point could be a bit slow if you are unlucky with the skill gains. So, if you have any of the epic armor recipes unlocked, you can try completing a few crafting orders. I'd recommend stopping at 91, 94 or 97. Each armor recipe give 3 skill points, so you would only have to complete 1-3 of them.
If you plan to craft at least one armor for yourself, you should definitely stop at 97.
Every epic armor recipe requires a Spark of Omen, a Bind on Pickup (BoP) crafting reagent that cannot be purchased from the Auction House. Since you can only obtain one Spark of Omen every two weeks, you should use the crafting order system for these last few points to level Tailoring up to 100.
Getting recipes from specializations
Threads of Devotion
Every recipe you can learn inside the "Threads of Devotion" specialization is good for leveling up to 100, so picking any talent tree there is good for leveling.
From Dawn Until Dusk
This specialization is split into two trees. Both of them can teach you 3 recipes, so you can't go wrong with either of them.
Completing Crafting Orders for skill points
Once you get your recipes from specializations, you can start looking for Crafting Orders.
Public Orders
When you open the Crafting Orders tab, make sure to hit "Search" in the top left corner on the Public Orders tab, they won't load automatically. You probably won't see many crafting orders because players immediately complete them when they are posted.
Unfortunately, public crafting orders haven't gained much popularity among players in Dragonflight, and I don't expect this to change in The War Within. Many players prefer guild or personal crafting orders for better control over item quality and materials. The unpredictability of public orders deters players from using this system, resulting in very few available public orders.
To make matters worse, Public Orders are not cross-realm. You will only see orders from players on the same realm, so if you're on a low-population realm, there may be very few or no Public Orders available.
NPC Orders
Fortunately, the new NPC crafting orders make leveling a bit easier. You will frequently receive epic armor crafting orders, though you may not be able to complete some of them until you acquire more knowledge points.
These orders are player-specific, so other players can't claim them. Consider them like Personal Orders sent to you by NPCs. However, they are randomly generated, so it's not guaranteed that you will receive orders for recipes you can currently craft.
Personal Orders
To level up with Personal Orders, you need to advertise your services on the trade channel. Most players seeking personal orders want a guaranteed rank 5 item, so focus on promoting the recipes you can craft at that quality level.
Additionally, keep an eye on the trade channel in Dornogal to see if any players are looking for items you can craft.
