This guide (up-to-date for patch 3.3) will cover training your Tailoring levels from 1 to 450 and what to make while leveling Tailoring in World of Warcraft. Tailoring is a primary profession (of which you can only choose two at any point in the game) and allows your character to create a variety of items such as armor, bags and clothing. Tailoring probably complements the Enchanting profession better than any other, as the items that are crafted with Tailoring can be disenchanted to provide materials for Enchanting. This guide focuses on making the training path easier by using patterns that can be learned from Tailoring trainers and patterns with the most easily obtained materials. It also looks to make the items that are Green or better quality, as these can then be disenchanted. Unless stated otherwise, all the patterns used in this guide can be purchased for an Enchanting Trainer of appropriate level.

Specialization
Level 60 Character required
After reaching level 350 in Tailoring, it is possible to choose a specialization. While any character with a sufficient level in tailoring is able to create any of the speciality cloths, specializing in one of them allows your character to produce twice as much cloth for the same materials cost. It is only possible to have one of the three specializations at any time, but there is the option to unlearn your current specialization and learn a new one.
For Primal Mooncloth/Moonshroud complete the quest Becoming a Mooncloth Tailor with: Nasmara Moonsong in Lower City, Shattrath
Primal Mooncloth can be created at any moonwell
Moonshroud can only be created in the Emerald Dragonshrine, Dragonblight
For Shadowcloth/Ebonweave complete the quest Becoming a Shadoweave Tailor with: Andrion Darkspinner in Lower City, Shattrath
Shadowcloth can only be created in the Alter of Shadows, Shadowmoon Valley
Ebonweave can only be created at the Obsidian Dragonshrine, Dragonblight (at the mouth of the ‘Maw of Neltharion’ cavern)
For Spellcloth/Spellweave complete the quest Becoming a Spellfire Tailor with: Gidge Spellweaver in Lower City, Shattrath
Spellcloth can be created anywhere in the Netherstorm zone
Spellweave can only be created at the Azure Dragonshire, Dragonblight
Moonshroud, Ebonweave and Spellweave require your character to have at least level 415 in Tailoring before they can be created. After creating any of these three speciality cloth types there is a four day cooldown before that cloth type can be created again.

Thanks for this guide! So far, it has helped me raise my tailoring skill quite quickly, and for that, I am very appreciative. ^_^
Wow, this truly is a wonderful guide to tailoring in WoW. Thanks so much.
This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you.
Excellent work friend!
You Rock!
This helped out so much! I have a DK so u don’t have any profs when u start. Rock on dude!!
i have heard that there are some cloth armor items that can only be worn by the maker. is there any truth to this? if so, which items? thanks
As far as I know all tailor-made cloth armor items are Bind on Equip (BoE). However, Tailors do have the option of adding embroidery/spellthread enchants to items, and doing so makes them soulbond. Also, the Flying Carpets can only be used by characters with the Tailoring profession.
Any of the 3 specs is best for a priest? Helpfull guide tbh.Thank you.
It depends on where your talents are focused. Common opinion is Mooncloth/Moonshroud for a Holy Priest, Spellfire/Spellweave for a Discipline Priest and Shadoweave/Ebonweave for a Shadow Priest.
Tailoring l190 has a BOP robe of power
You are right, and I have since managed to find a few other BoP Tailoring items:
Robe of Power
Robe of the Archmage
Robe of the Void
Truefaith Vestments
Boots of Blasting
Boots of the Long Road
Mantle of Nimble Thought
Swiftheal Mantle
Robe of Eternal Light
Sunfire Robe
Awesome guide, very helpful. Provides exactly the kind of information i was looking for, no material wasted. Thanks again.
where can i find a list of the new patterns
The netherweave tunic and robe are both bought as recipes from vendor in Shattrath named Eiin. Please update.
Note added to indicate the vendors for these patterns
Thanks a lot, it helped me level tailoring really quickly.
i just had a little quetion which one of the three specs is best for making money?
from wut i hear spellfire is the money maker
As of the new patch 3.3.3 no more cooldown on Moonshroud, Ebonweave and Spellweave
great guides for all the professions thank you for taking the time to make this website…huge help for all my alts. profs.
great, i went from 220 – 420 in half a day, cost a little gold but well worth it, thnx, not to far from 450 now :0)
