Tailoring
Updated on
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.
- Master: up to 375.
- Grand Master: up to 450, from 350 skill.
Remember to visit your trainer as you approach your rank's limit: beyond it, your skill no longer increases.
In Wrath of the Lich King, the tailoring trainers in the capital cities teach the Apprentice to Artisan ranks, from 1 to 300. The Master rank, from 300 to 375, is learned in Outland, and the Grand Master rank, from 375 to 450, in Northrend, from the trainers shown in brackets.

Guide 1 – 450
This guide takes you from 1 to 450. Up to 300, the route is the same as in Classic Era; from 300 to 350, it goes through Outland's netherweave, then through Northrend's frostweave up to 450. Several patterns are bought from a vendor, noted below. Quantities are estimates: once a recipe is no longer orange, you sometimes need to craft a few more.
