Tailoring Guide 1-300

About this guide

This guide will show you how to get your tailoring skill up from 0 to 300.The guide will only use recipe’s available at a trainer until 275 and vendoravailable recipe’s from 275 to 300.

This guide only uses recipes that require cloth and vendor bought material(thread, dye). The only exceptions are the vendor bought recipe’s to get to 300which require rugged leather. The leather needed is easely aquired throughskinning or the auction house.

This guide does not tell you how to get all the different recipe’s fromquests, vendors or drops. What you do once you hit 300 is entirely up toyou.

This guide is primarily aimed at those who want to switch profession at highlevel or have high level alts, friends or guildmembers.

Preparation

You are going to need a lot of linen and wool cloth and huge amounts of silk,mageweave and runecloth. Create an alt storage character to store these amountsof cloth and then farm (or have an alt farm) for the cloth needed. Use theingame mail system to send the cloth to the storage character. You may need morethan one storage character. Don’t forget to send some gold to the storagecharacter, so she can send the cloth back.

Once you have all the components collected, everything has to be send back toyour main character. The mailbox only shows the first 50 items you have in themail. It also puts the last item send to you on top. So to avoid complicationssend the components you need first last: i.e the linen cloth are needed first,so these are the last to be send back to your main, after the wool, silk,etc.

The recipe’s used require vendor bought components such as threads and dye.These cost gold. To learn recipe’s from a trainer also costs gold. The amount ofgold needed is aproximately 40 to 50 gold if you farm all of the cloth. If youwant to buy everything you need from the auction house expect to spend upwardsto 250 gold. This does not include gold for recipe’s from vendors or the auctionhouse.

Below is a table that shows the amount of cloth needed. The minimum amountcolumn shows the minimum amount needed if you would get a skill point every timeyou make something. However at some point a recipe will be yellow or even greenwhen you make something so you won’t allways get a skill point. The estimatedamount column deals with this, so try to get the estimated amount of cloth. Ifyou are buying all the cloth you need from the auction house, I suggest gettingthe minimum amount and only buy more when needed. The numbers in the estimatedamount column are rounded up to full stacks of whatever the component stacks upto.

Getting from 1 to 50

Getting from 1 to 50 seems easy enough. Making a bolt of linen cloth greysout at 50, so it looks like this is the easiest way to get to 50. However, sincemaking a bolt of linen cloth becomes yellow at 25 and green at 37, you will mostlikely make much more bolts than needed to get from 50 and further.

Getting from 50 and further requires at least 70 bolts of linen cloth, solets make those first and set those aside. If you haven’t reached 50 yet, make abolt of linen cloth and then a linen belt. The linen belt will give a skillpoint. Repeat this until 50.

Once you hit 50 talk to the appropriate trainer to become Journeyman Tailor.You have to be level 10 to become Journeyman Tailor.

This table shows the different recipes used to get from 0 to 50.

Getting from 50 to 125

First use the bolts of linen cloth set aside earlier to get to 75. Make linenbags to get from 50 to 70. Make the reinforced linen cape to get to 75.

There are two other recipe’s that can be used to get from 50 to 70, the heavylinen gloves and the reinforced linen cape. These recipe’s are cheaper incomponents than the linen bag, but since the bag sells for more silver at avendor (2 silver for the bag versus 29 copper for the gloves and 67 copper forthe cape) and you have to make a lot of bolts to get to 50 anyway, I decided togo for the linen bag so you can recoup a bit more of the money you lose wastingmaterial.

At 75 you can train to make bolt of woolen cloth. Bolt of woolen cloth greysout at 105. To get from 105 to 125 you need at least 55 bolts of woolen cloth,so lets make those and see how far we get.

If you haven’t reached 105, make 1 bolt of woolen cloth and then make awoolen cape until you do reach 105.

Now use the 55 bolts of woolen cloth made earlier and make gray woolen shirtsuntil 110 and double-stitched woolen shoulders to get from 110 to 125.

Once you hit 125 talk to the appropriate trainer to become Expert Tailor. Youhave to be level 20 to become Expert Tailor.

This table shows the different recipes used to get from 50 to 125.

Gettingfrom 125 to 200

At 125 you can make bolt of silk cloth, which greys out at 145. Since you’regoing to need at least 175 bolts of silk cloth for your skill up recipe’s youwill most likely reach 145 with that, so lets make those bolts of silkcloth.

Make azure silk hoods to get from 145 to 160, silk headbands to get from 160to 170 and formal white shirts to get from 170 to 175.

At 175 you can make bolt of mageweave which greys out at 185. Later on you’regoing to need at least 90 bolts of mageweave, so lets make those bolts. Thisshould get you to 185 easely.

Now back to silk. Make Crimson Silk Vests to get from 185 to 200.

Once you hit 200 talk to the appropriate trainer to become Artisan Tailor.You have to be level 35 to become Artisan Tailor.

This table shows the different recipes used to get from 125 to 200.

Getting from 200 to 275

First make some more crimson silk vests to get from 200 to 205 and crimsonsilk pantaloons to get to 215.

Make black mageweave leggings or vests to get from 215 to 220, blackmageweave gloves to get from 220 to 230 and black mageweave headbands orshoulders to get from 230 to 250.

At 250 you can make bolts of runecloth, which greys out at 260. Make bolts ofrunecloth until you reach 260 skill and use those to make runecloth belts. Therunecloth belt recipe becomes yellow at 270, so you should be able to reach 275using this recipe.

This table shows the different recipes used to get from 200 to 275.

Getting from 275 to 300

Although the runecloth belt recipe greys out at 300 I wouldn’t use thisrecipe to skill up to 300, because the amount of runecloth needed would be hugeand thus expensive.

Below is a table with recipe’s available from different vendors. These arelimited availability recipe’s, so you need some luck getting them, but i thinkthey are much more usefull in getting your skill to 300.

Ofcourse there are plenty of dropped recipe’s that can get you to 300, butgetting those require even more luck than with the vendor available recipe’s orspending some money at the auction house.

Make runecloth bags to get to 280 and runecloth gloves to get to 300.

Congratulations, you now have 300 skill in tailoring.

This table shows the different recipes that are available through vendors toget from 275 to 300.
