Tailoring

Tailoring 1 to 300

Tailoring has no gathering skill. The route makes the smallest trainer piece that is still orange, mostly belts, bags and bolts, and the calculator turns every bolt back into raw cloth.

How do you level Tailoring to 300 in WoW Forever?

Tailoring reaches 300 on this route with 224 orange crafts and at least 75 yellow crafts. Orange is one point per craft. Yellow is a minimum, because the client does not store the chance.

The reagents and the skill colors are from client build 1.60.1.70938. A craft gives a point every time while the recipe is orange, and none once it is gray. Learn skill and trainer or vendor come from the Warcraft Wiki, and only when that item name matches a client spell. Against Classic Era 1.15.9.70576, 207 of 291 shared spells turn yellow sooner, 1 turn yellow later, and the median shift is -25 points. The calculator sums the table.
  • 467 craft recipes on skill line 197
  • 414 wiki rows matched a client name, 48 did not
  • 224 guaranteed crafts, 75 minimum yellow crafts
  • No gap: the route reaches 300

Route

What to craft

Each row is the recipe the route rule picked for that skill. Train the next rank before 75 (Journeyman), 150 (Expert), 225 (Artisan). The four rank spells are still in the client; the effect stores a tier index, not a character level, so the level the trainer wants is not in these tables.

Calculator

Materials to a target skill

Counts every craft from skill 1 up to this number. Bolts, cured hides, leather grades, oils and dyes are broken into the materials that make them.

224 orange crafts, plus at least 75 more while a recipe is yellow to reach 300. Orange crafts in this route run through 290. 5 made reagents are expanded.

Exact materials

From crafts made while the recipe is still orange. One craft, one skill point.

Minimum for the yellow stretches

The client does not store the yellow chance, so this is one craft per point. You will use more. It is not an expected total.

Vendor marks are only the Classic supplier reagents whose names still match in this client (vials, thread, flux, salt, bleach, iron buckles). A mark is not a check that a vendor in your city stocks the item.

Notes

What is different about Tailoring

Belts, because they are small

From 15 to 50 the orange trainer recipe with the fewest reagents is the Linen Belt: one Bolt of Linen Cloth and one Coarse Thread. A robe that takes more bolts loses that comparison. It is a leveling rule, not a claim that belts are the useful thing to wear.

Bolts are not the shopping list

In this client a Bolt of Linen is 2 Linen Cloth, Wool is 3 Wool Cloth, Silk is 4 Silk Cloth, and both Mageweave and Runecloth are 5 cloth. The calculator expands them. You still make the bolts; the total is the cloth those bolts consume, including bolts made only to gain skill.

Thread and bleach

Coarse, Fine, Silken, Heavy Silken and Rune Thread, plus Bleach, are tagged vendor on the same Classic-supplier name check used for vials. Dyes are not tagged. Red, blue and orange dye stay as dyes unless a tailoring reagent recipe makes them, in which case they are expanded.

Mooncloth is a cooldown

Spell 18560, Mooncloth, has a 95 hour recovery in SpellCooldowns. It is not repeated for skill. Recipes that consume Mooncloth, including Mooncloth Robe, are left out for the same reason. The late rows are runecloth cuffs and cloaks, then Swarmtender's Gloves and a Ghostweave Hood whose wiki source is unknown.

Left out of the grind because SpellCooldowns is at least an hour: Mooncloth (95 hours, spell 18560).

FAQ

Where does the cloth come from?+

Humanoids drop it. Tailoring has no gathering profession, and these tables do not list drop rates. The total is how much cloth the crafts consume.

Why not the Classic robe route?+

Shared tailoring spells turn yellow earlier than in Classic Era: 207 of 291 are lower, the median shift is 25 points, and one spell turns yellow later. The route also refuses a craft when a smaller orange recipe exists, so a robe made of elementals never gets picked while a silk vest is still orange.

Can I level on Mooncloth?+

Not usefully. One Mooncloth is on a 95 hour cooldown in this client, and the route will not ask you to craft a robe that spends four of them per skill point. Make Mooncloth when you want the cloth, on its own timer.

What is the Ghostweave Hood doing at 295?+

It is the matched recipe that is still giving points, and the wiki does not say where you learn it. The row is marked. If you cannot learn it, the calculator's last five points are a description of that recipe, not a promise the trainer sells it.
