TBC Tailoring Guide 1-375: Materials & Leveling Steps

The TBC Tailoring guide route runs from 1 to 375 on cloth you can farm or buy: 204 Linen, 135 Wool, 804 Silk, 470 Mageweave and 940 Runecloth for the Classic stretch, then 2,976 Netherweave Cloth, 204 Arcane Dust, 10 Knothide Leather and 34 Netherweb Spider Silk for 300-375. Train Master Tailoring when you enter Outland, and plan around the Mana Loom in Shattrath for the imbued-bolt step. The full route costs 1,550g on US and 1,450g on EU Anniversary realms in materials at the scan prices.

Tailoring Materials Shopping List

Before beginning, gather or purchase all materials, and look at your realm's Auction House before anything else—particularly for Runecloth and Silk, since prices for these can rise quickly when an economy is new. The list below is the baseline route's approximate shopping list.

For 280-300 you also need one of 100 Rugged Leather, 50 Gold Bar or 25 Dream Dust, and the Dream Dust route adds 250 extra Runecloth. Hold off on buying Netherweb Spider Silk until 360-375; lucky Mechanar patterns can remove the need. Skill-up luck can change these amounts.

Tailoring Trainer Locations

From 1-300 you can learn all ranks at any major city trainer, so you do not need to hunt specific NPCs across Azeroth.

• Horde: Magar in Orgrimmar, Josef Gregorian in Undercity and Keelen Sheets in Silvermoon City.
• Alliance: Georgio Bolero in Stormwind, Jormund Stonebrow in Ironforge and Refik in The Exodar.

Learn Journeyman at level 10, Expert at level 20 and Artisan at level 35 before the matching cloth stretch. For Master Tailoring, go to Dalinna at Thrallmar for Horde or Hama at Honor Hold for Alliance, both in Hellfire Peninsula; train it as soon as you enter Outland.

Leveling Tailoring 1-300

For the TBC Tailoring guide route, convert cloth into bolts first and keep them, because later crafts use them. The route below follows the baseline steps.

For 280-300, Brightcloth Cloak is usually the cleanest choice if Gold Bars are not too expensive.

Leveling Tailoring 300-375

For much of this section, you need Netherweave Cloth obtained from Outland humanoids and dungeons in Hellfire Peninsula; the top place to farm it is Legion Hold in Shadowmoon Valley, thanks to quick respawns and a high drop rate for cloth. The 300-375 route is below.

The 360-375 stretch can use Imbued Netherweave Tunic or the dungeon-drop Arcanoweave patterns. Pattern: Arcanoweave Boots drops from Sunseeker Astromages in The Mechanar and requires Tailoring 360; Pattern: Arcanoweave Robe drops from Pathaleon the Calculator in The Mechanar and requires Tailoring 370. Pattern: Imbued Netherweave Tunic is sold by Arrond in Shadowmoon Valley and needs at least Neutral with The Scryers.

Mana Loom Location and Recipes

Bolt of Imbued Netherweave must be crafted at the Mana Loom in Shattrath City's Lower City at /way 66.0, 68.0. Eiin in Shattrath City sells the Pattern: Bolt of Imbued Netherweave; the vendor stands right beside the loom. Pattern: Imbued Netherweave Tunic is sold by Arrond in Shadowmoon Valley at /way 55.8, 58.2. The other vendor patterns are from Eiin in Shattrath.

Tailoring Specializations

At level 60 with 350 Tailoring skill you can start the specialization quest by visiting the trainers in Shattrath's Lower City. Choose Spellfire, Shadoweave or Mooncloth Tailoring. Each specialization unlocks a cooldown cloth and a BoP epic set, and lets you craft two of your specialty cloth per cooldown instead of one. All three specialization trainers sit close together in the Lower City district, near the Mana Loom.

What Leveling Tailoring Costs on Anniversary Realms

The whole route costs 1,550g on US TBC Anniversary realms and 1,450g on EU realms in materials bought at the scan prices. On US realms the most expensive steps are 360-375 Imbued Netherweave Robe at 663g (43% of the route), 325-340 Bolt of Imbued Netherweave at 162g (10%) and 350-360 Netherweave Tunic at 160g (10%). On EU realms they are 360-375 Imbued Netherweave Robe at 617g (43%), 325-340 Bolt of Imbued Netherweave at 161g (11%) and 350-360 Netherweave Tunic at 158g (11%).

The US column uses the October 22, 2026 scan and the EU column the October 23, 2026 scan. These are regional averages rather than one realm's prices, and materials you gather yourself cost no gold.

At skill 340-345, a Netherweave Boots step costs 52g 29s on US realms where a Netherweave Robe step costs 67g 2s. At skill 340-345, the same Netherweave Boots step costs 52g 87s on EU realms where the Netherweave Robe step costs 66g 6s.

The largest material line is Bolt of Imbued Netherweave — 67 at 9g 25s each for 620g on US, and 67 at 8g 43s each for 565g on EU — with Bolt of Netherweave next at 204 for 316g and 311g. For resale, Bolt of Imbued Netherweave sells for 5g 63s each on US average realms and 6g 59s on EU.
