Tailoring Guide for WoW Classic

Tailoring is one of the primary professions in WoW Classic. As a tailor, you can make cloth armor for Priests, Mages, and Warlocks as well as bags and cosmetic items.

To craft these items, you need various materials that drop from humanoid enemies throughout Azeroth. You will also need various threads and dyes, which you can buy from vendors. This WoW Classic Tailoring guide explains where you can learn Tailoring in the WoW Classic era, what’s special about Tailoring in SoD Phase 1 and Phase 2, and how to effectively level tailoring from 1-300.

What’s Special About Tailoring in WoW SoD Phase 2?

    • Orange : You are guaranteed to always gain a skill point.
    • Yellow : You often gain a skill point.
    • Green : You rarely gain a skill point.
    • Gray : You no longer gain skill points.

    How many materials you need to skill tailoring in WoW Classic depends on your luck in collecting skill points.

    Minimum Required Materials to Level Tailoring (1-300)

    To get Tailoring to 300 you will need at least the following materials. The exact number depends heavily on your luck when collecting skill points (see information above), which is why it is difficult to give precise information.

    Tailoring in WoW Classic is leveled from 1-75 (Apprentice), from 75-150 (Journeyman), from 150-225 (Expert) and from 225-300 (Artisan).
