WoW Tailoring Guide

Version for patch 3.3

This guide provides you the cheapest and the quickest way to level Tailoring. It uses patterns only obtained from vendors and trainers. So you won't go through the whole world to get rare pattern and got 2 more points in your skill. To get the information about specific pattern (its source) you can click on its title.

Tailoring is one of the most expensive professions to level–up. You will need a lot of gold to buy all cloth you need from AH. And you will need a HUGE amount of cloth. A good gold saver for tailoring is enchanting. You can disenchant almost every item you will craft and sell the dust/essences at AH.

At skill level 350 you could choose your tailoring specialization – Spellfire (fire/arcane focused), Mooncloth (healing) or Shadoweave (shadow/frost). Specialization will give your access to several specific patterns (all such items are only used by crafter itself). Another feature of specialization is doubling amount of crafted cloth if it meets your specialization (i.e. 2 mooncloth at a time).

This becomes yellow at 440 so you may need to create a few extra bags to reach 445.

You can hit 450 with more of Frostweave Bag but this recipe is green now and this way highly depends on your luck. But starting from 440 skill level you can craft epic items and these items can get you to 450. The best epics to craft are:

Materials needed for this Tailoring guide

The list is approximate, there are some twists in leveling Tailoring and you can choose one or other way. That's why you can need more or less of materials to get 450. Treat this list as an appraisal, not ready recipe. Don't use it to go to Auction House and buy everything at once.
I didn't include materials for 440–450 skills at this list as there are too many ways to go.
