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 |
| Weekly Quest (2 KP) | Your profession trainer will offer a weekly quest that asks you to complete 3 Crafting Orders. This rewards a |
| Weekly Drops (4 KP) | Each week, you can loot 1 of each of the following items from treasures scattered around the new zones: |
| Inscription Treatise (1 KP) | To get a |
| 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 |
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.
| Treasure Name | Zone | Map |

| A Really Nice Curtain | Silvermoon City | |

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.
| Slot | Crafted By | Green Quality | Blue Quality | Epic Quality |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tool | Engineering | |||
| Accessory | Blacksmithing | |||
| Accessory | Tailoring |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Epic leg enchant | Silvermoon Court (Rank 5) | Caeris Fairdawn | |
| 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.

Optional Reagents (Linings)
Linings are optional reagents that add the embellishment effect to crafted cloth gear. You can use them in Crafting Orders or when recrafting items.
| Recipe | Effect | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Adds Arcanoweave embellishment | Drop: Degentrius (Magisters' Terrace) | |
| Adds Sunfire embellishment | Drop: Heavy Trunk (Delves) |
Spellthread & Consumables
Spellthread is a leg enchant that only Tailors can craft. These are always in high demand, especially the epic versions.
| Recipe | Effect | Source |
|---|---|---|
| +Intellect | Trainer (35) | |
| +Intellect, +max mana | Vendor: Caeris Fairdawn (Eversong Woods) | |
| +Intellect, +Stamina | Drop: Fallen-King Salhadaar (The Voidspire) |
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.
