You learn the Red Linen Bag recipe in WoW Forever by using Pattern: Red Linen Bag at Tailoring 50. The pattern costs 2 silver 10 copper and is available in Westfall, Darkshore, Thunder Bluff and Silverpine Forest. It teaches you to craft an 8-slot bag.
Where to buy Pattern: Red Linen Bag
These vendors sell the pattern:
| Vendor | Location |
| Gina MacGregor | Westfall. |
| Valdaron | Darkshore. |
| Mahu | Thunder Bluff. |
| Andrew Hilbert | Silverpine Forest. |
The pattern has limited vendor stock; if it has sold out, return later. We'd try a vendor first when your goal is simply to learn the recipe: the listed purchase price avoids relying on a rare drop.
Where the pattern drops
You can also loot the pattern from these enemies:
| Enemy | Location and level | Recorded drop rate |
| Defias Looter | Westfall, levels 13–14. | 1.6%. |
| Moonrage Tailor | Silverpine Forest, levels 14–15, elite. | 1.2%. |
| Pyrewood Tailor | Silverpine Forest, levels 14–15, elite. | 1%. |
Defias Looter can be found around Westfall 43.7, 68.5, and Pyrewood Tailor around Silverpine Forest 45.7, 71.2. Treat a drop as a useful find while you're already fighting there, rather than a reason to delay learning the recipe.
Materials and how to craft the bag
Each craft requires the following materials:
| Material | Quantity per bag |
| Bolt of Linen Cloth | 4. |
| Fine Thread | 1. |
| Red Dye | 1. |
- Make the linen bolts from loose cloth; each bolt uses 2 Linen Cloth.
- Buy Fine Thread and Red Dye from a Tailoring Supplies vendor.
- Use the pattern to learn its recipe; learning consumes the pattern.
- Craft Red Linen Bag through Tailoring; its crafting time is 12.5 seconds, and you do not need a crafting station.
Red Linen Bag is the best early eight-slot choice for its inexpensive linen materials and accessible faction vendors, in the view of some players.
Learning Tailoring early and gaining skill
Where to start Tailoring
Apprentice Tailoring has no character-level requirement and allows you to reach skill 75. These city trainers teach that rank:
| Trainer | City and coordinates |
| Lawrence Schneider | Stormwind City, Mage Quarter, Duncan's Textiles: 43.6, 73.8. |
| Uthrar Threx | Ironforge, The Great Forge, Stonebrow's Clothier: 43.6, 28.2. |
| Trianna | Darnassus, Craftsmen's Terrace: 63.6, 21.6. |
| Snang | Orgrimmar, The Drag: 63.0, 49.6. |
| Victor Ward | Undercity, Magic Quarter: 70.2, 29.6. |
| Vhan | Thunder Bluff, Central Bluff: 44.0, 44.6. |
Reaching the recipe requirement
Start by making approximately 30 linen bolts from 60 Linen Cloth to progress from skill 1 to 30, then craft Linen Belts; each belt uses one bolt and one Coarse Thread. The belt leveling route continues to 55, so you can leave that route for the bag once you meet its learning requirement.
Early Tailoring paid off for one player.

Skill gains after learning the recipe
The bag recipe turns yellow at skill 75 and gray at 110. Journeyman Tailoring raises your profession cap to 150 and requires character level 10 plus Tailoring 50. Train that rank before trying to progress beyond the Apprentice cap.
