WoW Classic WotLK Tailoring Guide: Leveling, Materials, & Recipes


Tailoring has long been one of World of Warcraft's staple professions. As one of the professions that solely focus on gear, for the most part, it crafts cloth gear. It's an incredibly potent profession that many look at during the beginning of a new expansion to help them get ahead of the curve.

This type of benefit can be expected come Wrath of the Lich King Classic's release, as this cold-hearted expansion will have tons of new recipes to learn and items for Tailors to craft.

With that in mind, here's an in-depth guide for Tailoring in WotLK Classic.

WoW Classic WotLK Tailoring Guide

As one of three crafting professions that focuses on creating gear, Tailoring can provide a myriad of armor options for cloth wearers. Because of that it always brings something new and exciting for players every expansion. It's a profession that can not only provide gear but can also provide significant character increases with Tailoring-specific enchants.

In this guide, we'll take a look at what the profession offers in the upcoming WotLK Classic expansion, provide a leveling guide from Vanilla to WotLK, and list out some recipes to look out for that will be highly sought after in the new expansion.

What does Tailoring offer in WotLK Classic?

Once WotLK Classic launches, there will be tons of items and other features players can benefit from.

To start it off, there are lots of gear that players can benefit from, especially at the start of the expansion. Armor such as Spellslinger's Slippers and Royal Moonshroud Robe. Additionally, they have profession-specific enchants such as Sapphire Spellthread, and can even craft a mount, the Frosty Flying Carpet, and bags as well.

How to level Tailoring in WotLK Classic

Unlike players who hold Leatherworking or Blacksmithing professions where materials can be easy to farm as each one has a corresponding gathering profession, Tailoring relies on cloth drops to up their skills.

Knowing that it can be fairly straightforward, if you have the funds, to just buy the cloths from the Auction House and begin leveling the profession.
