Tailoring 1-375 is $58.44, or $36.89 for the Outland half if you are already at 300.
This is the casual-friendly profession, because it needs no gathering skill. Netherweave Cloth drops off practically every humanoid in Outland, so tailoring feeds itself while you quest — and it is why so many people level it second on a main. What makes it slow is not the cloth, it is the 92-hour cooldown at the top.
The three specialisations, at 350 skill, all in Shattrath:
- Spellfire from Gidge Spellweaver — Spellcloth, and the Spellfire belt, gloves and robe for arcane and fire casters;
- Shadoweave from Andrion Darkspinner — Shadowcloth, and the Frozen Shadoweave set, the one warlocks and shadow priests genuinely chase;
- Mooncloth from Nasmara Moonsong — Primal Mooncloth, and the healer set.
The 92-hour cooldown is the whole point of buying this. Each specialty cloth is on a 3 day 20 hour cooldown in TBC — it was only removed in Wrath — so a three-piece set is weeks of real time gated behind a timer, on top of the skill grind. Getting to 375 with the spec already picked is the part that saves you a month.
Where each cloth has to be made, because sites copy this wrong: Spellcloth anywhere in Netherstorm (a Nether-Wraith spawns and jumps you every time), Shadowcloth only at the Altar of Shadows in Shadowmoon Valley, Primal Mooncloth only at a Moonwell.
Pick carefully. Switching specialisation costs 150 gold to unlearn at 70 plus 20 gold to learn the new one, and the bind-on-pickup gear you already made with the old spec stops working for you.
There is no flying carpet in TBC. That is a Wrath tailoring mount. Anyone advertising one on a Burning Crusade realm is selling you a patch that has not shipped.
