Tailoring in WoW Classic is a crafting profession that turns looted cloth into caster armor, bags, and shirts, with a skill cap of 300. Unlike most crafts it has no gathering partner, since cloth drops from humanoid enemies. That makes it ideal alongside Enchanting, and the top pick for Mages, Warlocks, and Priests chasing strong cloth gear and roomy bags.

Quick facts

Cloth leveling path (rough order)

  1. Linen Cloth from low-level humanoids (Elwynn, Durotar, Tirisfal).
  2. Wool Cloth in mid-teens to twenties zones.
  3. Silk Cloth around the thirties.
  4. Mageweave Cloth in the forties.
  5. Runecloth from level 50+ humanoids to push toward 300.

Is Tailoring worth it in Classic WoW?

Yes, especially for cloth wearers. You get some of the best pre-raid caster pieces, and bags are steady gold. Because cloth is free from mobs you're already killing, your only real cost is time farming humanoids and buying thread.

What is the best profession to pair with Tailoring?

Enchanting. Tailoring produces a lot of green items while leveling, and an enchanter can disenchant them into materials instead of vendoring. Alchemy or Herbalism also work if you'd rather sell cloth and buy your reagents.

What can you make with Tailoring?

Bags are the headline: Mageweave Bags and Runecloth Bags sell constantly. You also craft caster robes, shirts, and set pieces, with standout endgame items like the Robe of the Archmage, Truefaith Vestments, and Mooncloth gear made on a cooldown recipe.

Where do I train Tailoring in Classic?

Visit a Tailoring trainer in any capital city to learn each rank as your skill allows. Expert and Artisan ranks unlock at 150 and 225, and some later patterns come from world drops or reputation vendors rather than the trainer.
