Embarking on a profession like Tailoring in Classic World of Warcraft’s Season of Discovery (SoD) is a fantastic way to enhance your gameplay. Whether you’re aiming to craft powerful gear, create stylish bags, or simply complement your Enchanting skill, this Sod Tailoring Guide will provide you with the quickest and most straightforward path to level your Tailoring from 1 to 300.
Tailoring in SoD primarily utilizes cloths gathered from defeated humanoids. The beauty of Tailoring is that it doesn’t require a gathering profession, making it an excellent pairing with any profession you choose. A particularly popular and efficient combination is Tailoring and Enchanting. As you level your Tailoring, you’ll create numerous cloth items that can then be disenchanted. This provides you with the necessary materials to level your Enchanting skill concurrently. If you’re interested in optimizing your Enchanting alongside Tailoring, be sure to check out our Classic WoW Enchanting leveling guide for a complementary approach.
For players still navigating the leveling process from 1 to 60 in Season of Discovery, consider using a leveling guide to expedite your journey. Zygor’s 1-60 Leveling Guide is a highly recommended resource to help you reach level 60 swiftly, allowing you to dedicate more time to professions like Tailoring.

SoD Tailoring Leveling Guide (1-300)
This guide is structured to provide the most efficient path for leveling your Tailoring skill in Season of Discovery. Follow these steps to reach 300 skill level as quickly as possible.
Leveling 1-75: Apprentice Tailoring
-
40 – 70 Skill Points: Craft approximately 40-70 Linen Belt.
- Materials needed: 40-70 Bolt of Linen Cloth, 40-70 Coarse Thread.
Linen Belts are a cost-effective way to rapidly gain skill points in the initial stages of Tailoring. Linen Cloth is abundant from low-level humanoid mobs, making it easy to acquire the necessary materials.
Leveling 75-150: Journeyman Tailoring
To progress beyond level 75, you’ll need to train Journeyman Tailoring. This can be learned from Expert Tailors, typically found in larger towns and cities. Journeyman Tailoring requires your character to be at least level 10.
Horde Journeyman Tailoring Trainers:
Alliance Journeyman Tailoring Trainers:
-
মিল্ড্রেড অ্যালেন – Stormwind City
-
গ্লিমারিন – Ironforge
-
100 – 110 Skill Points: Craft around 13 Simple Kilt.
- Materials needed: 52 Bolt of Linen Cloth, 13 Fine Thread.
Simple Kilts offer a slight variation while still utilizing Linen Cloth, helping you maximize the use of readily available early-game materials.
Leveling 150-225: Expert Tailoring
To advance past 150 Tailoring skill, you must learn Expert Tailoring. This requires character level 20 and finding an Artisan Tailor. Expert Tailors are less common than Apprentice or Journeyman trainers.
For Horde players, Josef Gregorian in Undercity is your Expert Tailoring trainer. Alliance players can find Georgio Bolero in Stormwind City.
-
145 – 160 Skill Points: Craft approximately 18 Azure Silk Hood.
- Materials needed: 36 Bolt of Silk Cloth, 36 Blue Dye, 18 Fine Thread.
Azure Silk Hoods are an efficient way to start using Silk Cloth, which becomes more accessible as you venture into mid-level zones.
-
170 – 175 Skill Points: Craft around 5 Formal White Shirt.
- Materials needed: 15 Bolt of Silk Cloth, 10 Bleach, 5 Fine Thread.
Formal White Shirts provide a quick skill boost using Silk Cloth and introduce a different reagent, Bleach, which is easily purchased from vendors.
-
185 – 205 Skill Points: Craft approximately 20 Crimson Silk Vest.
- Materials needed: 80 Bolt of Silk Cloth, 40 Fine Thread, 40 Red Dye.
Crimson Silk Vests continue to utilize Silk Cloth, and Red Dye can be readily bought, making this a smooth transition in skill progression.
-
215 – 220 Skill Points: Craft around 5 Orange Mageweave Shirt.
- Materials needed: 5 Bolt of Mageweave, 5 Orange Dye, 5 Heavy Silken Thread.
Orange Mageweave Shirts are a brief introduction to Mageweave Cloth, preparing you for the next skill bracket.
Leveling 225-300: Artisan Tailoring
To break past the 225 skill cap, you’ll need Artisan Tailoring, requiring character level 35 and a Master Tailor. Master Tailors are even rarer and located in specific zones.
Horde players can find Daryl Stack in Tarren Mill, Hillsbrad Foothills. He is in the building east of the Inn. Alliance players should seek out Timothy Worthington in Dustwallow Marsh at Theramore Isle, on the top floor of the first building on the left after disembarking from the boat.
-
230 – 250 Skill Points: Craft approximately 23 Black Mageweave Headband.
- Materials needed: 69 Bolt of Mageweave, 46 Heavy Silken Thread.
Black Mageweave Headbands are your primary skill-up recipe using Mageweave Cloth in this range.
-
260 – 280 Skill Points: Craft approximately 25 Runecloth Belt.
- Materials needed: 75 Bolt of Runecloth, 25 Rune Thread.
Runecloth Belts are a straightforward way to use Runecloth, the highest tier cloth in Classic WoW, to push towards the skill cap.
Alternatively, from skill level 260, you can craft Runecloth Bag. Runecloth Bags are more material-intensive but are often sought after by players, potentially allowing you to recoup some costs through Auction House sales. If selling is your aim, consider bags; otherwise, belts are a simpler leveling option.
-
280 – 290 Skill Points: Craft approximately 18 Runecloth Bag.
- Materials needed: 90 Bolt of Runecloth, 36 Rugged Leather, 18 Rune Thread.
Pattern: Runecloth Bag is sold by Qia in Everlook, Winterspring. She is located inside the bank, in the left corner upon entering.
This recipe is limited supply, so availability may vary. If Qia is sold out, you might consider purchasing the pattern from the Auction House to avoid waiting for respawn. The respawn time is variable, ranging from minutes to over an hour.
-
290 – 300 Skill Points: Craft approximately 18 Runecloth Gloves.
- Materials needed: 72 Bolt of Runecloth, 72 Rugged Leather, 18 Rune Thread.
The Runecloth Gloves recipe will turn yellow at skill level 290, meaning skill gains become less frequent. Prepare materials for approximately 18 crafts to reliably reach 300.
Pattern: Runecloth Gloves is also sold by Qia in Winterspring and is also a limited supply item.

Tips for Efficient SoD Tailoring Leveling
- Gather Materials in Advance: Farm cloths while leveling your character. Humanoid mobs are the primary source.
- Auction House Awareness: Check the Auction House for cloth prices. Sometimes buying cloth can be more time-efficient than farming, especially for Linen and Silk Cloth.
- Disenchanting Synergies: Level Enchanting alongside Tailoring. Disenchant crafted green items for enchanting materials and skill gains in Enchanting.
- Vendor-bought Materials: Purchase threads and dyes from tailoring or general vendors to save time.
- Recipe Availability: Be mindful of limited supply recipes like Runecloth Bag and Runecloth Gloves patterns. Plan your trips to vendors like Qia accordingly or consider AH purchases.
Congratulations on reaching 300 Tailoring in Season of Discovery! With maxed Tailoring, you can now craft valuable items, gear up, and contribute to the economy of SoD. Enjoy your crafting journey!
