Introduction:
Note that this is the fastest way to get to 450 – you can craft the optional items to sell or to use, but you’ll need more types of materials and it’ll cost a lot more and/or take longer
Special Perks for Tailors:
Tailors get unique cloak enchants (healer – Darkglow Embroidery, caster – Lightweave Embroidery, melee – Swordguard Embroidery) as well as an easy to craft Spellthread to use on their pants
-=Note=- it is not any better then the one they can craft for other players, however the materials are drastically cheaper
Finally tailors get to craft a magic carpet to ride on!(e.g. Swift Ebonweave Carpet)
Tailors also get a new ability learned from a world drop book – A Guide to Northern Cloth Scavenging – which increases the cloth drop rates of all Northrend Humonoids they kill!
For those saving TBC materials
You can still make rare/epic TBC tailoring items up to 395 (just about every pattern that crafts a rare/epic item that you learned at 375 will turn green at 390 and gray at 395) however this guide will focus on the cheapest materials to get to 450 – which in all cases points to new Northrend green tailoring items. If you still want to stock up on materials to level with TBC mats your best bet is to craft a ton of Golden Spellthread/Runic Spellthread as they are currently the cheapest high level items as well as still being somewhat useful in WOTLK.
The Guide:
Note every pattern listed is purchasable from the trainer or a vendor unless otherwise noted
Materials Required:
390 Bolt of Imbued Frostweave
275 Bolt of Frostweave
175 Eternium Thread
Doesn’t sound like much? Lets break it down further:
7225 Frostweave Cloth
780 Infinite Dust
175 Eternium Thread
350-375:
Bolt of Frostweave (5x Frostweave Cloth) x 1445
Not at 375 yet? No worries! You can make Bolt of Frostweaves until you are!
375-380:
Frostwoven Robe (4x Bolt of Frostweave, 1x Eternium Thread) x5
375-425:
You can craft basically the entire Frostwoven and Duskweave set – which is worth it if you plan on using it. Otherwise this just goes over the cheapest items in these 2 sets to skill up with.
380-390:
Frostwoven Leggings (5x Bolt of Frostweave, 1x Eternium Thread) x10
390-395:
Frostwoven Boots (4x Bolt of Frostweave, 1x Eternium Thread) x5
395-400:
Frostwoven Leggings (5x Bolt of Frostweave, 1x Eternium Thread) x5
400-405:
Bolt of Imbued Frostweave (3x Bolt of Frostweave, 2x Infinite Dust) x5
Craft as may of these as you can until it turns grey at 405, you’ll need it to level from 425-450. If you plan on leveling only to 440 you’ll need 90 of these. If you plan on leveling to 450 you need about 300 more LOL GOOD LUCK.
405-415:
Duskweave Wristwraps (8x Bolt of Frostweave, 1x Eternium Thread) x5
415-420:
Duskweave Gloves (9x Bolt of Frostweave, 1x Eternium Thread) x5
420-425:
Duskweave Shoulders (10x Bolt of Frostweave, 1x Eternium Thread) x5
425-430:
Frostweave Bag (6x Bolt of Imbued Frostweave, 2x Eternium Thread) x5
Depending on if you have any Iceweb Spider Silk, Black Duskweave Wristwraps are the cheapest way to level to 430 – I included the Black Duskweave Leggings as they are a good pair of rare leggings that cost 1 extra Bolt of Imbued Frostweave.
Black Duskweave Wristwraps (4x Bolt of Imbued Frostweave, 2x Iceweb Spider Silk, 2x Eternium Thread) x5
Black Duskweave Leggings (5x Bolt of Imbued Frostweave, 2x Iceweb Spider Silk, 2x Eternium Thread) x5
430-440:
Frostweave Bag (6x Bolt of Imbued Frostweave, 2x Eternium Thread) x10
Cheapest thing you can make at this point and at least you can auction them to get some gold back.
440-445:
Now this gets retardedly hard. There are a handful of patterns that stay yellow to 445 but the cheapest way to go is to just make 25x Frostweave Bags and pray that you get lucky. No seriously. The other option is to craft the 3 rare bags – however Ebonweave, Spellweave, and Moonshroud all have a 4 day cooldown (similar to the cloths in TBC) and the patterns all require reputation to buy.
Frostweave Bag (6x Bolt of Imbued Frostweave, 2x Eternium Thread) x25
Optional : Abyssal Bag (4x Ebonweave, 2x Spellweave, 1x Eternium Thread) x5 –
Pattern Obtained through Knights of the Ebon Blade Revered Reputation
Optional : Mysterious Bag (4x Spellweave, 2x Moonshroud, 1x Eternium Thread) x5 – Pattern Obtained through The Wyrmrest Accord Revered Reputation
Optional : Glacial Bag (4x Moonshroud, 4x Ebonweave, 1x Eternium Thread) x5 – Pattern Obtained through The Son of Hodir Exalted Reputation
445-450:
You can also make the tailoring epic gloves now as well so might as well craft 1 to help level. Past that the cheapest way is still Frostweave Bag followed by the 2 rare bags. (Abyssal Bags turn green at 445 so is not on this list)
Frostweave Bag (6x Bolt of Imbued Frostweave, 2x Eternium Thread) x25
Optional : Ebonweave Gloves (4x Ebonweave, 4x Bolt of Imbued Frostweave, 1x Eternium Thread, 1x Frozen Orb) x5
Optional : Moonshroud Gloves (4x Moonshroud, 4x Bolt of Imbued Frostweave, 1x Eternium Thread, 1x Frozen Orb) x5
Optional : Spellweave Gloves (4x Spellweave, 4x Bolt of Imbued Frostweave, 1x Eternium Thread, 1x Frozen Orb) x5
Optional : Mysterious Bag (4x Spellweave, 2x Moonshroud, 1x Eternium Thread) x5
Optional : Glacial Bag (4x Moonshroud, 4x Ebonweave, 1x Eternium Thread) x5
Awesome guide!
Just wantedAwesome guide!
Just wanted to throw out there that if you’re not in a hurry to level it to 450 once you hit 410 and want a profitable way to level your skill, you can actually buy the mats for Frostweave Bags off the AH, make them, and sell them for a profit. 🙂 On my server, the mats cost an average of about 65g, and I can sell the bags for 75g.
It very well may not be the case for every server though, so if you want to try it, you should check your server’s AH prices for the mats. The total mats for a Frostweave Bag breaks down to: 60xFrostweave Cloth, 12xInfinite Dust, 2xEternium Thread
Which specialty to pick?Wasn’t sure between the three on which would be best to use, I liked the idea of making faster 22 slot bags but being a death knight I really just took tailoring for the cloak enchant and to make bags for my other characters on the server, and maybe make some profit while at it.
Getting From 375 to 390Frostwoven Belt is a much better choice than the robe because it’s yellow until 390 and requires only 3 bolts of Frostweave. If you plan on selling to a vendor, you get much less for it however but if you want to level with the least amount of materials it’s a better choice. But thank you for making this guide.
Thank youLooks like a very nice guide that I will end up following, just wish it wasn’t as expensive to level this up.
Thanks again
