Tailoring allows players to cut and weave various pieces of cloth into armor, bags, shirts, and other cloth items.
Tailors can create cloth items for cloth wearing classes: Mages, Warlocks, and Priests.
Tailors
play an especially important role in guilds because they can create bags for the entire guild. They can also create specialty bags such as Herbalism bags that can increase gathering for the guild. They can learn powerful rare recipes as the highest levels which allow them to create powerful gear useful in raiding. Tailors can create shirts or dress-up items.
Tailors do not require any special equipment to create their items, such as blacksmiths require anvils. Tailors can create items wherever they want, as long as they have the proper required ingredients. Tailoring does not require a gathering profession. Proper ingredients must be gathered from monsters or purchased from other players. If your friends know you're a tailor they also may collect tailoring ingredients for you, provided you let them know exactly what you need.

Other Ingredients
Recipes usually require thread or possibly colored dye
which is purchased from trade merchants. You can usually find the trade merchants that have all available ingredients near the trainers. You might also need leather, gems, potions, and other special ingredients
created by other Profession craftsmen. Leather is found by Skinners so you will likely have to purchase it from another
player or from a friend. Gems are found from monster drops, treasure chests, Mining,
Fishing, and
Rogue pick pocketing. Potions will need to be purchased or given by an Alchemist.
Recipes
Recipes can be found at trainers, as limited items on special vendors, as rewards for gaining reputation with specific factions, monster drops, quest rewards, powerful boss drops, and in the auction house. Ask around if you can't find a particular recipe.
Moon Well Locations
Alliance players can find Moon Wells at the Temple of the Moon in Darnassus, Auberdine in Darkshore, the Park in Stormwind, or in Cenarion Hold in Silithus.
Horde players have a little more challenging time finding Moon Wells. They can find Moon Wells in Cenarion Hold, in Ashenvale east of Iris Lake, or in
Thalanaar in Thousand Needles. In Outland there is a Moonwell at the Cenarion Outpost just outside of Shattrath City. There's also a Moonwell at Cenarion Refuge in Zangarmarsh.

Tailors can also create special outfits such as dresses or formal attire. These can impress other people in town or be used
for special occasions. Examples: Wedding Dress, Tux Shirt, Tux Pants, and Tux Jacket. Some players wish to purchase these which can result in steady sales in the auction house or directly to players.

Tailors can create a wide array of different shirts. In addition to being
available in different colors, shirts also come in many varying styles. Shirts can sometimes
show prominently on a character, depending on what equipment they are wearing. A shirt has the potential
to make a character look much better! Tailors can sell shirts to players looking to improve their
appearance. Although some shirts are more expensive and harder to make, early easy shirts can still sell well. If you're trying
to make a look, try all of the shirts available. Collect them all! The most popular selling shirts are Dark Silk and Rich Purple Silk.
Shirts: White Linen, Blue Linen, Red Linen, Green Linen, Gray Woolen, Stylish Red Shirt, Stylish Blue Shirt, Stylish
Green Shirt, Bright Yellow Shirt, Dark Silk, White Swashbuckler's, Formal White, Red Swashbuckler's, Rich Purple Silk, Green Holiday, Black Swashbuckler's, Orange Mageweave, Orange Martial, Pink Mageweave, Lavender Mageweave, Tuxedo.

At the highest tailoring levels you can choose a tailoring specialization. The three areas of specialization are spellcloth, shadowcloth, and primal mooncloth.
The benefit of specializing is that when making the respective cloth, you create two pieces of cloth for the same materials and cooldown - doubling your cloth
making output. Each type of cloth has a four day cooldown on creation on their own timer. Therefore, once you specialize you can make two cloths for your
specialization and one cloth of the other two choices, all on separate cooldowns. Once you have made your choice of specialization, you cannot switch
specializations.
To specialize, you must have at least 350 skill in tailoring. Head over to Shattrath City, where you'll find four master tailors in the southeast part
of Lower City. If you're sufficient level and skill, they'll offer a quest for specialization.
You should review the various specialty patterns you can obtain by specializing before you make your decision. Your class and talent build will likely play a
role in your decision. Here are some general guidelines for the items you can make with the three specializations:
- Spellfire Tailoring - Arcane/Fire damage items, 28-slot enchanting bag (Fire/Arcane Mage)
- Shadowweave Tailoring - Frost/Shadow damage items, 28-slot soul shard bag (Frost Mage/Warlock/Shadow Priest)
- Primal Mooncloth Tailoring - Healing, 20-slot bag (Holy Priest)
You can still make any of the above items no matter what specialization you choose, however, it will take twice as long to create an item outside your specialization assuming you create all the required cloth yourself. Trading specialty cloth with tailors of other specialties can be much faster and more efficient. In addition, set bonuses of the crafted items may require you to be of a certain specialization to become active.

Artisan Tailoring is available at the highest level once you have reached level 35. Horde players should head to
Tarren Mill. Alliance players go to Georgio Bolero (Theramore Isle, Dustwallow Marsh).
To advance beyond 300 tailoring, Horde players need to speak to Dalinna (near inn at Thrallmar) in Outland. Alliance players need
to go upstairs in the Inn at Honor Hold. Both of these are located in Hellfire Peninsula.
Skinning might go well with tailoring, because you can collect leather for recipes.
Additional Tailoring recipes can be found in encoded messages found on the members of the Twilight's Hammer in Silithus.
There are some tailoring quests such as Shadowweave Mask (NIlith Lokrav in the Searing Gorge) or Meilosh in the Timbermaw Hold, when you have a
friendly reputation with the Timbermaw.
Some powerful recipes are bind on pickup and only found from high level enemies.
Many factions have reputation-based recipes available for purchase.

Tailors are the main creators of bags. Players can acquire bags from loot drops, quests, or merchants.
However, tailors can provide bags in larger quantities, while also offering cheaper prices than trade
merchants. Every class needs and wants bags, so this provides excellent opportunities for tailors and
also makes them extremely popular until players have all of their bags. As tailors
increase their level, they can more easily find or purchase ingredients for bag making.
