Midnight Tailoring Changes

If you played Tailoring in The War Within, most of the system is the same. Only a few things changed, so you won't have trouble adapting.

  • Artisan Tailor's Moxie - The BoP currency Artisan's Acuity that you got from earning profession Knowledge in The War Within has been changed to a profession-specific currency, Artisan Tailor's Moxie. You can now only use it for Tailoring-specific recipes.
  • No More Bronze Quality Reagents - Bronze-quality reagents and consumables have been removed in Midnight. All reagents and consumables now only have two quality levels: Silver and Gold. This means you will always get at least a Silver-quality item, and you can use your Concentration right away to craft Gold-quality items. Weapons, armor, and profession equipment still have 5 ranks.
  • Epic Profession Tools - New Epic-quality profession tools are available in Midnight, providing more secondary stats than Rare tools. Both Epic and Rare tools provide the same base Skill bonus.
  • No More Unraveling - The cloth unraveling step from The War Within (turning cloth into spools before crafting) has been removed. One less intermediate step to deal with.

Weekly Tailoring Knowledge in Midnight

In Midnight, there are four weekly sources of profession knowledge, allowing you to earn approximately 25-30 Knowledge Points every week. This is an estimate, though. Patron Orders require crafting specific items at high quality, so your actual weekly total will be lower if you don't have the recipe or can't hit the quality target.

Source Details
Patron Crafting Orders (~24 KP) You earn the majority of your weekly knowledge points by completing Patron Crafting Orders. You will receive Glimmer of Midnight Tailoring Knowledge for completing some of them, but not all of them will reward you with knowledge points.
Weekly Quest (2 KP) Your profession trainer will offer a weekly quest that asks you to complete 3 Crafting Orders. This rewards a Thalassian Tailor's Notebook worth 2 Knowledge Points and resets every week.
Weekly Drops (4 KP) Each week, you can loot 1 of each of the following items from treasures scattered around the new zones: Embroidered Memento and Finely Woven Lynx Collar.
Inscription Treatise (1 KP) To get a Thalassian Treatise on Tailoring, you need to submit a Public Crafting Order since they are bind-on-pickup (BoP). Treatises are Warbound, so if you have an alt with Inscription, you can craft them and send them to your main.
Darkmoon Faire (3 KP / month) Once a month, the Darkmoon Faire comes to town and you can complete a quick profession quest for +3 Knowledge Points and +2 Profession Skill. It's not a weekly source, but don't skip it. The Faire starts on the Sunday before the first Monday of each month.
Catch-up System If you fall behind or start late, you will receive Flicker of Midnight Tailoring Knowledge from orders until you are caught up, so don't worry if you miss a week, you aren't permanently behind.

One-Time Tailoring Knowledge in Midnight

These are one-time sources of Tailoring Knowledge that you can collect once per character. Grab them as soon as you can because they are the fastest way to get Knowledge Points early on.

Renown Knowledge Book

Skill Issue: Tailoring is sold by the Silvermoon Court Renown Quartermaster Caeris Fairdawn in Eversong Woods.

Midnight Tailoring Treasures

There are 8 Tailoring treasures in Midnight. Collecting them provides 24 Knowledge Points in total. You will find them in Silvermoon City, Eversong Woods, Zul'Aman, Harandar, and Voidstorm.

Tailoring Specializations

There are four specialization trees available. You will unlock access to them at Tailoring skill levels 25, 50, 60, and 75.

  • Sin'dorei Finery - Epic cloth armor recipes.
  • Nimble Needlework - Daily bolt cooldowns, embellished cloth gear (cloaks, bracers, treads), and rare cloth drops from mob farming.
  • Fabric Specialist - Increases cloth drop rates while farming, also has some crafting stats.
  • Fiber Arts - Skill bonus for all Tailoring recipes plus crafting stats.

I have a separate guide that walks through the best builds for each playstyle with step-by-step Knowledge Point allocation.

Midnight Tailoring Specialization Guide & Best Builds

Profession Equipment

Profession Gear for Tailors in Midnight

Tailors can craft their own robe accessory, but you will need to get the fabric cutters from an Engineer and the needle set from a Blacksmith. The table below lists all three pieces of Tailoring profession equipment.

Craftable Profession Equipment

Tailors can craft profession equipment for Alchemy, Cooking, Enchanting, Fishing, Herbalism, and Tailoring.

Green Recipes

Green quality profession equipment is not soulbound, so you can craft and sell them on the Auction House. You learn these recipes from the profession trainer.

Blue and Purple Recipes

Recipes for the Blue and Epic quality equipment are sold by Deynna in Silvermoon City for 150 Artisan Tailor's Moxie each. The crafted items are Soulbound, so you cannot sell them on the Auction House. You must use the Crafting Order system to craft them for other players.

Both Epic and Blue profession gear provide the same Skill bonus. The Epic versions only offer higher secondary stats.

Renown Recipes

Tailoring has a couple of recipes from Renown vendors. You need Renown Rank 5 with the corresponding faction to buy them.

Recipe Description Faction Vendor
Arcanoweave Spellthread Epic leg enchant Silvermoon Court (Rank 5) Caeris Fairdawn
Lush Telogrus Carpet House Decor The Singularity (Rank 5) Void Researcher Anomander

Cloth Armor

Here is the full list of new cloth armor sets available in Midnight. Most of the Rare gear is learned from your trainer and is great for leveling. The high-end Epic pieces are locked behind Specializations, so you'll need to spend your Knowledge Points wisely to unlock the specific slot you want to craft.

Embellishments

Embellishments are special items with unique effects. You can wear up to 2 embellished items at a time. These are some of the most valuable crafts for Tailors because every cloth-wearing class wants them for endgame content.

Arcanoweave Garments

Arcanoweave pieces are part of the Arcanoweave Trappings set (Bracers, Cloak, Treads). The Arcanoweave Cord is a standalone embellishment with its own proc.

Spellthread & Consumables

Spellthread is a leg enchant that only Tailors can craft. These are always in high demand, especially the epic versions.

Reagents & Bags

In The War Within, you had to unravel raw cloth into spools first, then craft the spools into bolts. That step is gone in Midnight. You now craft bolts directly from cloth, which is one less intermediate step.

The two basic bolts (Bright Linen Bolt and Imbued Bright Linen Bolt) can be crafted any time. The Arcanoweave Bolt and Sunfire Silk Bolt are daily cooldown crafts, similar to Alchemy transmutes. You can only craft one of each per day, and they are used in almost every high-end recipe: embellishments, bags, spellthreads, and epic gear all require them. Because of this, the cooldown bolts will always be in demand and are one of the best passive income sources for Tailoring alts.
