Tailoring in The Burning Crusade caps at 375 skill (the Master Tailor rank), taught by Outland trainers starting in Hellfire Peninsula at Honor Hold (Alliance) or Thrallmar (Horde). The expansion's core material is Netherweave Cloth, and once you hit 350 skill at level 70 you choose one of three specializations — Spellfire, Mooncloth, or Shadoweave — each granting a best-in-slot caster set and an exclusive cloth type on a cooldown.

Quick facts

Level-up path (300 → 375)

  1. Bank a large stack of Netherweave Cloth before you start — most recipes lean on it.
  2. 300–350: grind Bolts of Netherweave and Netherweave Bags, the cheapest reliable skill-ups.
  3. 350: visit a specialization trainer and pick your path (see below).
  4. 350–375: use higher-tier patterns from trainers and world drops, filling gaps with more Netherweave gear.

What are the three Tailoring specializations?

At 350 skill you can learn Spellfire (fire/arcane DPS cloth and the Spellfire set), Mooncloth (healer-focused Primal Mooncloth set), or Shadoweave (shadow/frost DPS and the Frozen Shadoweave set). You may only hold one at a time, but you can pay a trainer to swap later.

Each specialization also unlocks an exclusive cloth — Spellcloth, Primal Mooncloth, or Shadowcloth — crafted from primals on a cooldown, which is the backbone of its epic set.

Which Tailoring specialization is best?

It depends on your class. Spellfire shines for mages and warlocks who stack spell damage, Shadoweave suits shadow priests and warlocks, and Mooncloth is the pick for healing priests and druids.

All three produce strong pre-raid and early-raid caster gear, so match the specialization to the role you actually play rather than chasing a single "best" answer.

Is Tailoring worth it in TBC?

Yes, especially for cloth casters. The specialization sets rival early raid drops, and Netherweave and Mooncloth bags are steady gold-makers. The trade-off is that Tailoring gathers no raw materials of its own, so you'll spend time farming cloth or buying it.
