Why Level Tailoring

Tailoring provides casters with pre-raid BiS items and a reliable income stream through Mooncloth and raid cloaks:

Mooncloth Robe / Vestments — pre-raid BiS for warlocks and priests
Robe of the Archmage — top choice for mages before MC
Felcloth Hood + Shoulders — shadow-oriented set
Runecloth Bag (14 slots) — steady gold source

Leveling 1–300

Range	Recipe	Materials
1–75	Linen Cloth → Bolt of Linen	Linen Cloth
75–150	Wool Cloth → Bolt of Woolen	Wool Cloth
150–200	Silk Cloth → Bolt of Silk	Silk Cloth
200–250	Mageweave → Bolt of Mageweave	Mageweave Cloth
250–300	Runecloth → Bolt of Runecloth + bags	Runecloth

On x5 rates leveling takes a few hours — cloth farms fast and recipes are available from regular trainers.

Top Crafts

Pre-raid BiS:

Robe of the Archmage (Pattern: Robe of the Archmage) — limited craft, high value
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.

Bags: Runecloth Bag (14), Mooncloth Bag (16, BoP on craft) — always in demand.

Tailoring + Enchanting Combo

Tailoring paired with Enchanting is a powerful combo: craft green items, disenchant them into Enchanting materials and sell or use them yourself. Especially effective on x5 where resources accumulate quickly.

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.
