Tailoring Guide

This WoW Tailoring guide will show you the fastest and easiest way how to get your Tailoring skill up from 1 to 525. Updated for WoW patch 4.3

If you want to level your Tailoring, you will need thousands of cloths and cloths are not cheap. You can farm them or buy them from the auction house, if you buy the Cloths you will need a lot of gold. Tailoring is good combined with Enchanting because you will be able to disenchant most of the items you make, however an Enchanter friend can do it for you too. Check out my Enchanting guide if you are interested in leveling Enchanting.

If you are low on gold, I recommend you to try this Gold Making Guide, it can help you to make loads of gold.

If you are still leveling your character or you just started a new alt, I recommend you to use a leveling guide. You can level your character to Level 85 in 5 days with this Guide.

Keep in mind, this WoW Tailoring guide is made to level your profession as fast as possible, so sometimes the cloths you will make might not be the best items for your level or they won't be really profitable if you want to sell them.
