- Truefaith Vestments (Pattern: Truefaith Vestments) — for Holy priests
- Mooncloth Robe — Mooncloth (2-day cooldown) + Felcloth
Mooncloth: crafted from 2× Felcloth, 4-day cooldown. Sells well on the AH — passive income.

FAQ
What secondary profession pairs with Tailoring?
Tailoring doesn't require a gathering profession since cloth drops from humanoids. Pair it with Enchanting to disenchant crafted greens into materials, or Skinning/Herbalism for gold income.
What to craft endgame on x5?
Robe of the Archmage, Truefaith Vestments, and Mooncloth Robe are the main targets for casters. Mooncloth has a cooldown that creates steady auction demand.
