Tailoring

Tailoring
Overview
Tailoring is a primary crafting profession. It lets you craft cloth armor pieces, as well as bags.
It does not need a gathering profession: cloth is found on enemies.
What this profession is for
- Craft cloth armor, worn by Mages, Priests and Warlocks.
- Craft bags to carry more items.
Learning the profession
Tailoring is learned from a tailoring trainer. Each rank raises the profession's maximum skill and requires a character level and a minimum skill:
- Apprentice: up to 75 skill, from level 5.
- Journeyman: up to 150, from 50 skill and level 10.
- Expert: up to 225, from 125 skill and level 20.
- Artisan: up to 300, from 200 skill and level 35.
Remember to visit your trainer as you approach your rank's limit: beyond it, your skill no longer increases.
In brackets, what each trainer teaches: 75 (Apprentice rank, from 0 to 75), 75 + (Journeyman rank, from 75 to 150), 150 + (Expert rank, from 150 to 225), 225 + (Artisan rank, from 225 to 300).
