WoW Forever Tailoring Guide 1 to 300: Fastest Route, Trainers and Reagent Bags

Tailoring has 4 ranks. Each rank lifts your skill cap by 75, and a trainer teaches it once you have both the skill and the character level.

5 things Forever changed from the Classic route to 300:

• Recipes turn grey sooner. Many Classic recipes stop giving points 25 to 45 skill earlier, so batches are smaller and the Classic plan for 225 to 300 no longer fits.
• Reagent bags. A bag for profession materials at every cloth tier.
• 3 campsite objects. The Faction Banner, the Spinning Wheel and the Loom stand at your camp.
• Spell school gear for Merchant's Favor. New cloth patterns for Fire, Frost, Arcane, Shadow, Holy and Healing, and a Tailor title at the top.
• Legacy points. Tailoring milestones pay points to your whole account.

For every other profession, see all professions and the order to level them.

These totals follow option A of the route below. Every craft uses bolts, so turn the cloth into bolts as you go.

Cloth	Total to 225	Makes
Linen Cloth	65	30 Bolt of Linen Cloth, plus 5 spare
Wool Cloth	423	141 Bolt of Woolen Cloth
Silk Cloth	704	176 Bolt of Silk Cloth
Mageweave Cloth	900	180 Bolt of Mageweave
Elixir of Wisdom	20	For the Gloves of Meditation

The 900 Mageweave Cloth already covers the 17 bolts you make at 140 to 150, so buy it once. Counts are estimates: a yellow recipe misses a point now and then, so keep a few spare.

The Tailoring Supplies vendor next to most trainers sells the rest: 28 Coarse Thread, 148 Fine Thread, 100 Silken Thread, 76 Heavy Silken Thread and 88 Red Dye.

Save the cloth you loot while leveling, because the route uses every tier. Mageweave Cloth drops from higher-level mobs, so buy it, or the bolts, if your character is younger.

Short on time? A Pro does the route for you, and crafting professions start from $113 with the cloth included. On a 1 to 60 order, Tailoring adds $49.

Craft each row until your skill reaches the end of its range, then move down. Train Journeyman before the Woolen bolts at 55, because the bolts can carry you past 75.

Skill	Craft	Count	Materials
1–30	Bolt of Linen Cloth	30	60 Linen Cloth
30–55	Linen Belt	28	28 Bolt of Linen Cloth, 28 Coarse Thread
55–80	Bolt of Woolen Cloth	45	135 Wool Cloth
80–95	Woolen Cape	22	22 Bolt of Woolen Cloth, 22 Fine Thread
95–100	Double-stitched Woolen Shoulders	5	15 Bolt of Woolen Cloth, 10 Fine Thread
100–120	Bolt of Silk Cloth	40	160 Silk Cloth

Keep the Silk bolts for the vests after 150. Make all 45 Woolen bolts, then turn the rest of your Wool Cloth into bolts too: the capes, shoulders and gloves of option A use 141.

Skill 20 unlocks the Faction Banner, and skill 70 the Woolen Reagent Bag. Both get their own table in the Forever section below.

From 120 the route splits. Option A stays on Wool, and option B moves to Silk. Pick by Auction House price: option B takes 6 fewer crafts.

Skill	Option A	Option B
120–125	8 Double-stitched Woolen Shoulders	5 Azure Silk Hood
125–135	20 Gloves of Meditation, up to 140	12 Azure Silk Hood
135–140	Gloves continue	5 Formal White Shirt
140–150	17 Bolt of Mageweave	17 Bolt of Mageweave
Crafts 120–140	28	22, fewer crafts
Materials 120–140	104 Bolt of Woolen Cloth, 76 Fine Thread, 20 Elixir of Wisdom	49 Bolt of Silk Cloth, 34 Blue Dye, 10 Bleach, 22 Fine Thread

Train Expert at 125. If Mageweave Cloth is scarce at 140, option A can keep making Gloves of Meditation to 150. That takes about 31 more, with 124 Bolt of Woolen Cloth, 93 Fine Thread and 31 Elixir of Wisdom.

Silk carries you to 190, and Mageweave finishes the rank at 225.

Skill	Craft	Materials
150–170	20 Crimson Silk Vest	80 Bolt of Silk Cloth, 40 Red Dye, 40 Fine Thread
170–190	24 Crimson Silk Pantaloons	96 Bolt of Silk Cloth, 48 Red Dye, 48 Silken Thread
190	Mageweave Reagent Bag pattern unlocks
190–215	38 Black Mageweave Gloves	76 Bolt of Mageweave, 76 Heavy Silken Thread
215	Runecloth Reagent Bag pattern unlocks
215–225	26 Mageweave Bag	104 Bolt of Mageweave, 52 Silken Thread

That table is option A. Option B changes 170 to 190 only:

Skill	Craft	Materials
170–180	10 Crimson Silk Pantaloons	40 Bolt of Silk Cloth, 20 Red Dye, 20 Silken Thread
180–190	About 12 Orange Mageweave Shirt	12 Bolt of Mageweave, 12 Orange Dye, 12 Heavy Silken Thread

The trousers turn yellow at 180, so option A spends 14 crafts on its last 10 points. Option B switches recipe there: about 22 crafts against 24, with 56 fewer Silk bolts and 12 more Mageweave bolts.

The gloves turn yellow at 195 and green at 210. The bags are yellow from the start and green at 220, so keep a few spare bolts for the last points.

The beta caps characters at level 30 since 1 October, and Artisan training needs level 35. So 225 to 300 opens on live realms only, from launch on 4 November.

The table is the planned route in Forever skill ranges, in crafting order. The route moves from Mageweave to Runecloth here, and the Earthenweave patterns are new to Forever.

Skill	Craft	Check
225–230	Mageweave Bag	Launch
230–235	Black Mageweave Headband	Launch
235–240	Red Mageweave Bag	Launch
240–243	Admiral's Hat	Launch
243–255	Earthenweave Boots	Launch
255–260	Earthenweave Mantle	Launch
260–267	Earthenweave Leggings	Launch
267–270	Runecloth Cuffs	Launch
270–285	Earthenweave Cuffs	Launch
285–296	Earthenweave Crown	Launch
296–300	Mooncloth Boots	Launch

We play this range on live realms between 4 and 11 November and update this table.

Craft counts and the Runecloth total join the table after that check. Until then, stock Runecloth as you loot it. Train Artisan at skill 200 so the cap never stops you at 225: its trainers stand outside the capitals, in the table below.

Apprentice and Journeyman are taught in every capital. Expert and Artisan have 1 trainer per faction, so plan those trips around your route. Expert training costs 50 silver.

Alliance	Horde
Apprentice
Lawrence Schneider (Stormwind), Uthrar Threx (Ironforge), Trianna (Darnassus), Eldrin (Eastvale, Elwynn Forest)	Snang (Orgrimmar), Victor Ward (Undercity), Vhan (Thunder Bluff), Bowen Brisboise (Tirisfal Glades)
Journeyman
Sellandus (Stormwind), Jormund Stonebrow (Ironforge), Me'lynn (Darnassus)	Magar (Orgrimmar), Rhiannon Davis (Undercity), Tepa (Thunder Bluff)
Expert
Georgio Bolero (Stormwind)	Josef Gregorian (Undercity)
Artisan
Timothy Worthington (Theramore Isle, Dustwallow Marsh)	Daryl Stack (Tarren Mill, Hillsbrad Foothills)
Skyborne: starting island
Othesia Evengale (Valanaar) and Taleen Shimmerthread (Shen'dar Village), both on Zephras Isle

Skyborne characters join the Alliance or the Horde at character creation, so they use that faction's Expert and Artisan trainers. The Skyborne guide covers the island. We check the Artisan trainers again in launch week.

Reagent bags

Reagent bags go in their own bag slot, so they add room beyond your normal bags. They bind when equipped, so every bag you craft can be sold.

Bag	Slots	Pattern
Linen Reagent Bag	6	Skill 5, from Tailoring Supplies vendors
Woolen Reagent Bag	8	Skill 70, from Tailoring Supplies vendors
Silk Reagent Bag	10	Skill 125, from the centaur vendors in Desolace with clan reputation, or the quest I Need a Tailor
Mageweave Reagent Bag	12	Skill 190, for 60 Merchant's Favor
Runecloth Reagent Bag	14	Skill 215, for 60 Merchant's Favor

Campsite objects

Each object needs a campfire nearby, and all camping features share a 1-hour cooldown.

Object	Skill	What it does
Faction Banner	20	Spirit for players of your faction who sit nearby. It does not stack with Divine Spirit
Spinning Wheel	140	Makes Tailoring reagents at camp and gives the banner's Spirit. Learned from a Blueprint found in the world
Loom	300	Crafts the recipes that need a Loom and gives the banner's Spirit. Learned from a Blueprint found in the world

Every profession's object for the full camp is in the WoW Forever camping guide.

Merchant's Favor patterns and the Tailor title

Merchant's Favor comes from the Waylaid Supply Crates you loot while leveling. Fill them and hand them in at your faction's trade camp. Spend it on the school you play.

Skill	Patterns	Merchant's Favor
60 to 125	Boots 60, Gloves 75, Sash 85, Circlet 100, Gown 110, Leggings 125	30 each
165	Handwraps	60 each
195	Shoulders	60 each
205	Cuffs	60 each
215	Waistcords	60 each
235	Sandals	90 each
300	Tailoring Certification	1,000

The Tailoring Certification unlocks the title "the Tailor" for every character on your account. A character shows it only with Tailoring at 300. Alliance players buy it from Mivin Shadowweave at the Azeroth Commerce Authority camp in Redridge Mountains. Horde players buy it at the Durotar Supply and Logistics camp outside the Crossroads in The Barrens.

Legacy points

Skill 150, 225 and 300 each pay Legacy points the 1st time a character on your account reaches them. The Legacy system guide shows what they buy.

Mage, Priest and Warlock wear cloth, so they get the most from Tailoring. A Mage crafts Flame (Fire), Silky (Frost) or Pearly (Arcane) gear. A Priest crafts Pristine (Healing), Shining (Holy) or Shadow gear, and a Warlock crafts Shadow or Flame gear.

Pair Tailoring with Enchanting. Disenchant the gear the route makes, and the dust levels Enchanting beside it.

Every class buys bags, so Tailoring makes gold on any character. The WoW Forever gold economy guide shows where profession gold comes from.

Is Tailoring worth it in Forever? Yes for a cloth wearer: the spell school patterns start at skill 60 and keep coming up to 235. For a melee class it pays through bags, gold and the Spirit banner at camp.
