Tailoring allows players to cut and weave various pieces of cloth into armor, bags, shirts, and other cloth items. Tailors play an especially important role in guilds because they can create bags for the entire guild, provided the guild members gather the proper ingredients. Tailors are responsible for creating cloth items for cloth-armor wearing classes: Mages, Warlocks, and Priests. They occasionally make items for other classes, such as cloaks or spellthread for pants. They also make decorative shirts. Tailors are also able to make special cloth equipment which requires that the user have a high level tailoring skill in order to use the item as well as a special Tailoring Mount.

While they can create a variety of items, they strangely cannot repair these items when damaged, and must still use the services of a repair vendor.

Question, I didn't know where else to put this, when you learn your 2 professions, can you "unlearn" one and change it ?

Thx..

Wow noob.. yeah, I know ! ;0)

can any1 help me out i cant think on what profession to pick but i want to go for tailoring and what is a good secong like leatherworking or something?

Comment by Jesterz

As of patch 4.0.3 there are currently no "NPC recipes" (dropped by monsters) to make Cataclysm gear. Currently there is only Dreamcloth gear for 359 epics (PvE), and the rest is mainly PvP gear (339 item level and lower). I wonder if they will bring out new recipes or if they will keep only the rare 7 day cooldown cloth epics.

Comment by sidelsky18

Players with a Tailoring skill of 400 or higher have a 50% chance (up from 25% due to a recent change) to find additional cloth on any mob that drops cloth. This perk appears to work on even on mobs that it isn't your "turn" to loot in group loot (i.e. dungeons). On average you will find about 3-5 extra cloth of the current level.

Comment by misk38

Does anyone know what the numbers/arrow is for on the right side of the profession box? I have several recipes that have a 2 or 3 and an 'up' arrow beside them. This is not only in tailoring, but my enchant, too. thanks.

Why don't embroideries show up under the "Required By" tab on Wowhead?

Comment by 717014

I know that back in BC days Spellfire was for Mages, Shadoweave was for Warlocks, and Mooncloth was for Priests (in general). Is it still the same with Ebonweave/Spellweave/Moonshroud in terms of stats? I know the specialisations were removed, it's just that I don't want to waste mats on making stuff that's no good for me while I'm levelling.

Comment by Tirixian

Talismanic Textiles store in Dalaran, base trainer with Trade item vendor, also Mooncloth, Shadoweave and Fireweave trainers in there aswell.
For each of the Specialisations, the Base Cloth recipe costs 3g, 20 and Recipes are 4g, 80.

Comment by Arenn21

I'm a Restoration paladin. My primary is enchanting. Would tailoring help me out by making gear with the stats I need? Because Blacksmithing has mostly +Strength and Stamina, and I can't think of a good secondary. Any opinions would be appreciated.

Comment by 783639

i wouldn't recomend using cloth as a paladin. but enchanting/tailoring is a great combination since u can disenchant almost everything u make. and if u wanna take blacksmithing u should drop enchanting and take mining instead.

Comment by 709793

~These are the cloths you need to collect to level~
From 1-75- Linen Cloth
75-125- Wool Cloth
125-175- Silk Cloth
175-250- Mageweave Cloth (as well as silk cloth until about level 205)
250-300- Runecloth
300-350- Runecloth + Netherweave Cloth
350-425- Frostweave Cloth
425+- Embersilk cloth

*This can differ depending on what items you can make at a particular level.*

Comment by danicadb1

I was wondering why tailors can't make lvl 85 shoulders that are at least 346, I thought that maybe quartermasters would have some nice shoulder pieces, but there don't seem to be any anywhere, I don't do dungeons, as I don't care about tier stuff, can anyone tell me what are the best shoulders for cloth wearers? That you can get outside of a dungeon. Thank-you:)

Comment by 759403

Hey, anyone know when we get shiny new recipes? I'm getting bored stockpiling my cloth/Dreamcloth.

Comment by Hanz0

Passing the frostweave cloth requirement for getting a skill point gap is proving to be quite exhausting... so far i have had 44 stacks of frostweave and only made it with that from 350 to 403.

At this point I get 1 skill point per 8 Bolt of frostweaves meaning 1 skill point per 2 stacks of frostweave cloth.. now thats just.. bothering...

Comment by Frahaleah

Does it make sense for a warrior to take this? Since I have heard of death knights taking tailoring.

Comment by George14

This is what the Swedish guy said, thanks to Google Translate.

I used this strategy: if you start and do not have high character, continue to play the highest or create something new and get to level 40-50, and throughout the playing time, not to sell any cloth you will receive and pit it in the bank; later when you get enough money for bags or have a friend tailors, creating some bags and buy al bank slots if you have money. and put all your cloth in the bank than when you think you have enough fabric to make another character and learn Tailoring with enchanting, and use all your cloth, also see what other things you need for 200 - tailoring and when you get them, put them in banking too.
Short version:

1st Post new characters / continue playing your highest

2nd Get him to the 45-50 when you can get mageweave

3rd Save all fabrics and other items needed for sewing in the bank, buy all bank slots as you have money

4th Make new signs, learn Tailoring (good with enchanting) and use your carpets from bank

?

6th Win!

This is exactly what I used and it works!. at least for me. try it if you want and after results!

As an aside, Tailoring can be especially lucrative on RP realms like Wyrmrest Accord and Moon Guard, where people will buy lower level and vanity cloth items specifically to construct roleplay outfits for their characters, regardless of their class.

Comment by Pelikanen

I must say, as a swed, that the swedish translation earlier, it was probably done with Google Translator, cus it sucked. And the Swedish->English translation just made it more confusing.

Comment by 941923

This profession is primarily for priest, warlocks and mages. A very good combo with enchanting because enchanting mats come form green items which can be crafted by most professions. The main advantage is you farm for cloth by finding a mob and its respawn rate and just farm. While blacksmithing and jewelcrafting require more movement. All professions. are profittable but this one involves fighting for your mats. be aware that at endgame most crafting proffesion recipes are hard to find or involve a lot of work. Gathering proffesions may be advisable for fast gold, but in the long haul once you find the recipes you can profit 1-10 k gold a day . Hopes this helps any one having trouble with deciding if this is a viable proffesion.

Gold Capped at WowInsider recently posted a great guide for skilling up Tailoring relatively pain-free.

Comment by 843868

Ok all you Tailoring enthusiasts out there, I would like to know why all of us fine makers of bags; for (i.e.) Herbalists, Enchanters, Jewelcrafters all with their big beautiful 36 slot bags, and us stuck with our wonderful 22 slot Embersilk Bag, that is in such high demand because it holds anything you want in it, ( oops sorry started to RANT sorry, lol ) so that leaves us holding the bag, so to speak.. whats up with that. I would like to add another thing about bags; Dear ( WoW ) we start with a 16 slot backpack, very nice thank you for the no fee bag; But I feel, I need to add my two cents, at level 50 my bag is looking pretty tattered, and I want a new one, I am willing to pay 50 gold to up-grade my pack for, ( 4 ) extra slots. And at lvl 80, 100 gold for a ( 22 ) slot pack, and yes it's non-negotiable to wait till lvl 80 to save 50 gold for your replacement bag.. that generates a lot of gold for WoW. just think about that, but don't take to long…..thanks for your understanding : ^) 10,000.000(members)X$150 gold = $1500,000.000 gold in WoW's pockets. wow

Comment by Jollygood

For new players, especially clothies, I strongly recommend dropping a gathering profession (probably skinning) at level 15 (when you can start running instances) and taking up tailoring. No matter where you go, humanoid mobs have a good drop rate on cloth. Someone mentioned dovetailing it with enchanting. I agree wholeheartedly. If you are a PvPer or don't run instances, then this is not all that germane, but there you have it. I pug a lot and tailoring is great for puggers.

At BC level, that's when you can start consistently making gold. Buying netherweave bags is the WoW equivalent of going down the street to pick up a loaf of bread and quart of milk. Pretty much everyone leveling up goes through netherweave bags. LK and Cata level bags sell well. Specialist bags are very useful, too.

Tailored items are sellable and top-level stuff goes well on the AH. Tailoring is extremely useful for PvP players, because there's always a list of decent level tailored gear to choose from. Plus there are nets that you can make. My big income producers are spellthreads and bags.

A side note is that there is a pattern that looks like blue overalls that is 'moggable. I had an acquaintance who lamented that his cartoon "wears a dress" (sheesh. get over it), so I gave him overalls to shut him up.

Comment by Misy

Please, pretty please, add a 50 slot bag in MoP! With all these transmo sets all of my illusionary bags are filled and a good amount of guild bank slots too! :(

If you're looking at the comments on this recipe, plan, or quest you might be a collector or completionist.
This is a compiled list of all of the cross-faction recipes in the game.

Most (not all) Cooking recipes on the Alliance side are sold by Kendor Kabonka. The Horde do not have a corresponding NPC, so if you are an Alliance character wanting to create an alt on the opposite side to obtain the recipes for your main, unfortunately you'll have to have a level appropriate character to do the quests to obtain some of these recipes.

All of the recipes except one (Plans: Orcish War Leggings) can be traded cross-faction on the neutral AH.

List of Nature Resist Pieces NOT Coming with Phase 5
Posted by Anshlun | Wowhead | 2020-06-29

Blizzard has released a list of Nature Resist pieces that ARE NOT coming with Phase 5 and the Ahn'Qiraj War Effort.
These pieces were introduced in Naxx to help guilds clear AQ40, so they don't have a place in P5 at the start.
Blizzard is evaluating when to add them.
.

SERIOUSLY THOUGH, SOME CLARITY ABOUT CC NR CRAFTABLES
Posted by Kaivax | Community Manager | Blizzard Forums | 2020-06-30
"Khlause: Some of the gear was intended for AQ, while other items may have been back burner or may have been a form of catch up gear."

"Overall, the nature-resist gear that was released in original WoW in patch 1.11 was catch-up gear.
It was released along with Naxxramas to help close the gap for guilds who were still dealing with trying to get certain pieces from Green Dragons and Maraudon because they were stuck on Princess Huhuran.

To be specific, here’s a list of pieces that are not in WoW Classic 1.13.5:

Blacksmithing
Ironvine Breastplate
Ironvine Gloves
Ironvine Belt

Leatherworking
Bramblewood Helm
Bramblewood Belt
Bramblewood Boots

Tailoring
Sylvan Crown
Sylvan Shoulders
Sylvan Vest
Gaea's Embrace

Quest reward: Band of Cenarius
A Humble Offering

Quest reward: Savage Guard
The Savage Guard - Arcanum of Focus
The Savage Guard - Arcanum of Rapidity
The Savage Guard - Arcanum of Protection

We’re still considering precisely when to release this gear, given their usefulness and purpose. As with original WoW, that time will come later, after AQ is opened and being raided."

The following quests can be picked up from Craftsman Wilhelm at the Light's Hope Chapel in the Eastern Plaguelands by completing Omarion's Handbook which you get from Master Craftsman Omarion.
He's trapped in a cage in the first room of trash in the Deathknight Wing inside Naxxramas.
With a skill of 300 and high enough reputation, you will be able to choose from a total of 13 different patterns depending on your professions: Tailoring (4), Leatherworking (6) or Blacksmithing (3).

Patterns / Plans doesn't exists, all of them are taught by Master Craftsman Omarion in Naxxramas
