Tailoring is one of the crafting professions in WoW. Not only that this profession
has many options to offer to the players who choose it, it also is very easy to level up.
Since you start at the level 1 cloth will be easy to collect since all humanoid mobs you encounter drop
it. With cloth you can do two things – level up your First Aid skill and level up Tailoring as your primary
profession.
What can I make with Tailoring?
With Tailoring you will be able to make various cloth armor sets cloaks, bags as well as special bags for
other professions, Spellthreads, Embroideries and a special flying mount – the Magnificent Flying Carpet which is
only available to tailors.
Depending on which specialization you choose you will be able to craft an extra special kind of cloth
every 4th day – Moonshroud, Spellweave or Ebonweave. These types of cloth are used to craft nice sets of
pre-raiding epic gear for healers and dps casters. If you don’t plan to craft any set you can easily sell the cloth
on the AH after each cooldown and earn some extra gold.
If you are revered with the The Kalu'ak faction you will be able to obtain a tailoring pattern for a
special herb bag - Emerald Bag. This bag has 32 Slot and is a “dream come true” for any Herbalist.
On the higher levels, when you reach Northrend, with Tailoring as a primary profession you will be able to
gather more cloth than other players. This is possible due to the Northern Cloth Scavenging which is a passive
ability available only to the tailors.
With the Northrend Dungeonmaster achievement completed you will be granted a special tailoring pattern
which will allow you to make Wispcloak, an epic cloak for healers and with the Loremaster achievement you will be
able to craft Deathchill Cloak which is ideal for dps classes.
Tailors are known for their Spellthreads. These come as a nice stats boost for pants for casters and
healers. To be able to craft these Tailor needs exalted reputation with certain factions.
For Sapphire Spellthread (+50 spell power, +30 stamina) you will need to be exalted with the Kirin Tor
faction while for Brilliant Spellthread (+50 spell power, +20 spirit) you will need to be exalted with the Argent
Crusade faction.
However, this is only if you want to craft these for other players or sell them on the AH. To make the
Spellthreads for yourself you will only need 2x Eternium thread.
With the special Embroidery, Tailors are also able to enhance their cloak stats. This is perfect for
healers or dps casters. This Embroidery is very useful since it is similar to a cloak enchant.
Which classes usually take Tailoring as their main profession?
When it comes to classes, Tailoring is mostly used by the cloth wearers such as Holy or Shadow Priests,
Mages and Warclocks. It is not rare that even Balance and Resto Druids take Tailoring as one of their main
professions.
Tailoring and other professions
The most common combination of professions is Tailoring/Enchanting. Those two accompany each other simply
because a tailor needs dust to make special kind of cloth while an enchanter can disenchant everything he makes
with tailoring. He can use it or sell it and make profit. Without Tailoring it will be hard to level up Enchanting,
not to mention expensive.
