Tailoring is the cloth‑wearer’s best friend. 
Mages, 
priests, and 
warlocks – this profession lets you craft your own gear, bags, spellthreads, and profession accessories. And the best part? You don’t need a gathering profession. Cloth drops from humanoids everywhere, so you can pair Tailoring with Enchanting (disenchant your crafts) or any gathering profession for extra gold.
WoW Tailoring works much like it did in The War Within, but with a twist: past skill 60, you’ll rely heavily on specializations, Crafting Orders, world‑drop recipes, and high‑end materials like Arcanoweave Bolt and Sunfire Silk Bolt. Early levels are fast and cheap; the real challenge (and profit) begins later.
This guide walks you through the fastest way to level Tailoring from 1 to 100, including shopping lists, specialization advice, and tips for using Work Orders to save gold.
Midnight Tailoring Trainer Location
In Midnight, the Tailoring trainer is Galana, located in Silvermoon City’s Bazaar of the Sun.
Coordinates: /way 48.0 61.5 (near the tailoring station)
The crafting table and profession vendors are right next to her. You can learn recipes, buy thread, and start crafting immediately.
Concentration & Crafting Orders Explained
Before leveling, understand two core systems.
Concentration
Concentration lets you increase the quality of crafted items beyond their base materials. For example, you can take cheap Rank 1 cloth and turn it into a Rank 3 Arcanoweave Bolt using 150–300 Concentration.
- Daily regeneration: About 30 Concentration per hour, cap 500. You can craft 1–2 high‑quality items per day.
- Best use: Save Concentration for endgame crafts (epic armor, rare bags) – not for leveling. Using Concentration on cheap recipes is a waste.
Crafting Orders
Work Orders are how you get other players to craft items for you (or you for them). Three types:
- Personal Orders – Directly between players. Best for high‑end cloth armor and embellished gear. High commission (2–5k gold).
- Public Orders – Open to anyone. Competition is fierce, commissions are low (100–500g).
- NPC Orders – Some quests and weekly tasks reward you for filling NPC orders. These help unlock rare recipes and give extra Knowledge Points.
For leveling 90–100: Filling personal orders is the cheapest way to gain skill points – customers often provide the expensive materials.
How Profession Knowledge Points Work in Midnight
Knowledge Points (KP) are permanent. You earn them from:
- First Craft – every new recipe gives 1–3 KP.
- Crafting Orders – completing orders (first of the week gives bonus KP).
- Profession treasures – hidden in Midnight zones (Eversong, Zul’Aman, Harandar, Voidstorm).
- Weekly quest – from the trainer, gives 3 KP.
- Vendor books – expensive (10–15k gold), but give 10 KP once per character.
You unlock specializations at skill level 25. Spend KP to unlock nodes. Points cannot be refunded, so plan your path.
Midnight Tailoring Specs Overview
Four specializations, each with a different focus. You can eventually max all, but early choices matter.
| Specialization | Focus | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Sin’dorei Finery | Crafting cloth armor (chest, legs, shoulders) and embellished gear | Filling Crafting Orders for armor; self‑gear |
| Nimble Needlework | Producing Arcanoweave Bolt and Sunfire Silk Bolt (daily cooldowns) | Goldmaking; supplying high‑end materials |
| Fabric Specialist | Better cloth gathering (more drops, higher quality) and general crafting efficiency | Self‑sufficient players who farm their own cloth |
| Fiber Arts | Boosts Ingenuity, Resourcefulness, Multicraft, and Crafting Speed | Mass production; saving materials |
Recommended first specialization (at skill 25): Nimble Needlework. Unlocking the daily Arcanoweave Bolt cooldown early gives you a steady source of valuable materials for later crafts. You’ll also need these bolts for most high‑end recipes.
Second spec (around skill 60): Sin’dorei Finery if you want to craft armor, or Fiber Arts if you want to mass‑produce bags and spellthreads.
Fast Midnight Tailoring Leveling Instructions
Material quality (Rank 1 vs Rank 3) does not matter for leveling. Always buy the cheapest.
| Material | Quantity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Bright Linen | 220 | Main cloth (drops from humanoids in Eversong/Zul’Aman) |
| Silverleaf Thread | 320 | Vendor item (buy from Galana or any tailoring supply vendor) |
| Bright Linen Bolt | 140 | Crafted from Bright Linen – you’ll make these first |
| Eversinging Dust | 20 | Disenchanting green gear or AH |
| Mote of Pure Void | 25 | Drops from Voidstorm mobs or AH |
| Radiant Shard | 10 | Disenchanting blue gear or AH |
Total estimated cost (if buying everything): 6–8k gold. Half that if you farm your own cloth.
Midnight Tailoring Level 1-10
- Recipe: Bright Linen Bolt (trainer)
- Materials: 3x Bright Linen per bolt
- Craft: 220 Bright Linen → ~74 Bright Linen Bolt. This will take you to skill 10.
Tip: Save all these bolts – you’ll need them for later recipes.
Midnight Tailoring Level 10-25
- Recipe: Bright Linen Bandage (trainer)
- Materials: 2x Bright Linen Bolt per bandage
- Craft: 70 Bright Linen Bandage → reach skill 25.
Bright Linen Bandage are cheap and stack in your inventory. You can vendor them for a few silver each or keep for personal use.
Midnight Tailoring Level 25-35
At skill 25, visit the trainer to unlock specializations. Put your first Knowledge Points into Nimble Needlework (at least 10 points to unlock the Arcanoweave Bolt recipe later).
25–30: Imbued Bright Linen Bolt
- Recipe: Imbued Bright Linen Bolt (trainer, unlocks at skill 25)
- Materials: 8x Silverleaf Thread + 4x Bright Linen Bolt + 2x Eversinging Dust per craft
- Craft: 5–6 Imbued Bright Linen Bolt → reach skill 30.
30–35: Profession Accessories
- Recipe: Any profession accessory (e.g., “Tailor’s Mitts” – trainer)
- Materials: 2x Mote of Pure Void + 2x Imbued Bright Linen Bolt per craft
- Craft: 5 accessories → reach skill 35.
Tip: Accessories are used in Crafting Orders. You might sell a few on the AH for 500–1k gold each.
Midnight Tailoring Level 35-45
35–38: Bright Linen Tailoring Robe
- Materials: 3x Silverleaf Thread + 2x Imbued Bright Linen Bolt + 1x Eversinging Dust
- Craft: 3 robes → skill 38.
38–41: Cosmetic Cloaks
- Materials: 4x Bright Linen Bolt + 1x Mote of Pure Void
- Craft: 3 cloaks → skill 41.
41–45: Basic Cloth Armor (e.g., “Bright Linen Pants”)
- Materials: 5x Bright Linen Bolt + 2x Silverleaf Thread
- Craft: 4 pieces → skill 45.
Midnight Tailoring Level 45-60
45–50: Spellthreads
- Recipe: “Enchanted Spellthread” (trainer)
- Materials: 2x Imbued Bright Linen Bolt + 1x Mote of Pure Void
- Craft: 5 spellthreads → skill 50. Spellthreads are consumables (leg enchants) – they always sell on the AH for 300–500g each.
50–60: Profession Equipment
- Recipe: “Tailor’s Toolbelt” or “Spellweaver’s Gloves” (trainer)
- Materials: 2x Radiant Shard + 4x Bright Linen Bolt per craft
- Craft: 10 pieces → skill 60.
By now, you should have a small stack of Imbued Bright Linen Bolt and Radiant Shard. Don’t vendor them – they’re used in the next tier.
Midnight Tailoring Level 60-90
From 60 to 90, trainer recipes stop giving skill. You’ll need to craft items from your specializations or world‑drop recipes.
Best options at this stage:
| Craft | Skill gain (Yellow/Green) | Why it’s good |
|---|---|---|
| Arcanoweave Bolt (Nimble Needlework) | 2–3 points (up to 80), then 1 point | Required for almost every endgame craft. Daily cooldown (10 bolts per day). Sells for 800–1,200g each on AH. |
| Sunfire Silk Bolt (Nimble Needlework) | 2–3 points (up to 80), then 1 point | Used for bags and high‑end armor. Daily cooldown limit (5 bolts per day). Sells for 1,500–2,000g each. |
| New bags (e.g., “Sunfire Silk Bag”) | 2 points | 32‑slot bags always sell. Materials: 5 Sunfire Silk Bolts + 10 Arcanoweave Bolt. Sell price: 8–12k gold. |
| Spellthreads (advanced) | 1–2 points | Same as before, but uses Arcanoweave Bolt. Steady demand from raiders. |
| Optional Reagents | 1 point | Craft “Fiber Reinforcement” – used in Crafting Orders. Low profit per craft, but high volume. |
Recommended path 60–90:
- Unlock Arcanoweave Bolt as soon as possible (Nimble Needlework, 20 KP).
- Craft your daily cooldowns every day. Even if you don’t use them, sell the bolts.
- Between daily cooldowns, craft bags or spellthreads for skill points. Bags are expensive but give 2 skill points each; spellthreads are cheaper but give 1 point.
Time estimate: If you only rely on daily cooldowns, 60–90 takes about 2 weeks. If you mass‑craft bags, you can do it in 2–3 hours – but that will cost 50–80k gold in materials. Most players take the slow, profitable route.
Midnight Tailoring Level 90-100
The last 10 points are the most expensive. You have three options.
Option A – High‑End Spellthreads (Steady, Affordable)
- Recipe: “Arcanoweave Spellthread” (requires Nimble Needlework)
- Materials: 2x Arcanoweave Bolt + 1x Mote of Pure Void
- Skill per craft: 1 point (even at 99)
- Cost per craft: ~1,500g
- Crafts needed: 10–12 → 15–18k gold.
- Profit: Spellthreads sell for 1,200–1,800g each. You’ll lose a little gold but not much.
Option B – Premium Bags (Best Value)
- Recipe: “Sunfire Silk Pack” (32 slots)
- Materials: 7x Sunfire Silk Bolts + 5x Arcanoweave Bolt
- Skill per craft: 2 points up to 95, then 1 point.
- Cost per bag: ~15–20k gold in materials
- Sell price: 12–18k gold (loss of 2–5k per bag)
- Crafts needed: 5–6 bags.
Why do it anyway? Bags always sell, and you’re buying skill points for a few thousand gold each. Consider it an investment.
Option C – Crafting Orders (Cheapest)
- Advertise in trade chat: “Tailor – can craft epic cloth armor (chest, legs). Provide mats, pay 3k commission.”
- Each order gives 2–3 skill points, and the customer provides the expensive Arcanoweave Bolt.
- Cost to you: Only time (and maybe a few hundred gold for thread).
- Downside: Slow – depends on demand.
Recommended hybrid approach:
- Fill 5–10 Crafting Orders for the bulk of 90–95 (cheap, low stress).
- Craft 3–4 premium bags to push to 100 (recoup some cost).
- If you have 20+ Arcanoweave Bolt saved from daily cooldowns, you can craft high‑end spellthreads and sell them for minimal loss.
