Please note: Due to the recent blog move (see the front page), a lot of the formatting in this post has been broken. I’m in the process of fixing it back up, so please bear with me!

Now that the expansion has hit and everyone’s had a chance to play around with it and get comfortable, many people (including myself!) are looking forward to leveling their professions to their new caps. In this entry, I’ll cover the most efficient method to powerlevel your Tailoring skill from the previous cap, 375, to the new cap, 450.

What is efficient?

As most people who powerlevel, I’m looking for a solution that’s cheap and easy. For the purpose of this guide, I’m going to try and make sure that the items we make at each stage fit the following two requirements:

1. The recipe for the item can be trained at a Tailoring trainer.
2. The recipe for the item takes two reagents: cloth and thread (or any one item easily purchased from a vendor).

By ensuring that each of our items fit the above criterea, we can powerlevel quickly and easily, without relying on the auction house or other players to provide us with what we need.

Tailoring Skill 375-405

We will be using a lot of Bolt of Imbued Frostweave to level up later, so you might as well get all the skillups you can now. Keep making these until it turns grey at 405.

Tailoring Skill 405-425

If you have easy access to [item]Infinite Dust[/item] and have extra [item]Bolt of Frostweave[/item] to make Bolt of Imbued Frostweave, you can start making [item]Frostweave Bag[/item] at skill level 410. It’s much more useful to you, and can be sold for quite a bit of gold otherwise.

Tailoring Skill 425-450

We’re going to be making these bags all the way to 450, as it really is the cheapest way to do it, although it may take a while (especially near the end). The bright side is that these bags should sell easily on the auction house, recuperating a lot of your loss.

For those wondering why I didn’t mention the other bags and items you can make, it’s because they all require [item]Ebonweave[/item], [item]Moonshroud[/item], or [item]Spellweave[/item], which are all on an almost 4 day cooldown. If you’re spreading the powerleveling over a long period of time, consider looking into alternate choices, such as [item]Ebonweave Gloves[/item], [item]Moonshroud Gloves[/item], [item]Spellweave Gloves[/item], [item]Mysterious Bag[/item], or [item]Glacial Bag[/item].

That’s it! You made it!

Congratulations, you are now capped out on Tailoring, again! Some of the things you have to look forward to include your own special flying mounts, the [item]Flying Carpet[/item] and the [item]Magnificent Flying Carpet[/item]. Additionally, you have three special cloak enchants that only you can get (Casters – Lightweave Embroidery, Melee – Swordguard Embroidery, Healers – Darkglow Embroidery).

Finally, you can get the two new leg enchants ([item]Brilliant Spellthread[/item] and [item]Sapphire Spellthread[/item]) for yourself at a significant discount (as Sanctified Spellthread and Master’s Spellthread)!
