Welcome to our WoW Vanilla Tailoring Leveling Guide! This guide works for vanilla-era, SOM, and hardcore servers.
With tailoring you’ll be able to craft powerful cloth gear and useful bags. There are some very nice cloth chest pieces you can craft – Truefaith Vestments, Robe of the Void, Robe of the Archmage.
In later phases of the expansion, you will have access to the Bloodvine Garb set, which is simply amazing.
If you want to roll a caster class, I suggest you think about taking tailoring. Tailoring doesn’t need a gathering profession to get it rolling, so you can choose whichever other profession you want. The drawback is that leveling tailoring can get a bit expensive.
That’s why I created this guide. So you can rank it up in the easiest way possible.

Thank you for reading our vanilla tailoring leveling guide! Now that you are a max-level tailor, you can start crafting Mooncloth. You can buy the Pattern: Mooncloth from Qia in Winterspring. It requires 2x Felcloth to craft 1x Mooncloth. The cooldown is 4 days, and you need to do it inside a moonwell. Make sure to do it every time you get a cooldown ready. Mooncloth can get expensive because they are used in many end-game recipes.
