Is Tailoring worth the effort ?Follow

If you want to be well geared for pve at 70, tailoring is a huge head start, you won't replace the spellfire/spellstrike till you hit t5+ 25 man raid content, which is pretty far along.

If you intend on doing mostly at 70, pick up tailoring. If you're more of a pvper, you won't be using the sets at all.

Tailoring is a pretty easy profession to pick up at 70 though, since you'll be able to solo low level instances for cloth, and the higher level cloth you can't solo as fast isn't very expensive.

So I'd recommend making money with a gathering profession first, then picking up tailoring at 70 if you're interested in pvp. It's not worth the effort while leveling though in my opinion.

Thanks , I was not that sure about Mage armour but i have a NE Priest level 39 that can make stuff to high for her so i guess my Mage will become a Tailor , Luckily the server i am on Horde side is crazy at auctions , They give me all the enchanting materials i could ever need at low level plus i sell almost everything i buy still cheaply and make a great profit = level 26=spent around 50g and still have about 200g.

i like farming anyway and of course the Mage classes are almost as good as hunters at low level , and at high level well ? i will soon find out.

Yes, tailoring is indeed worth the effort. As suggested waiting to 70 and power leveling it is a good way to go b/c you won't be using it much during the grind. Save the cloth you get on a bank toon and it will be all that much easier.

Frost and fire both have great sets that can carry you into the T5 25-man raids gear wise, and when used in conjunction with the Spellstrike set you are golden for quite some time.

Grinding the mats does suck for the epic sets, but their payoff is tremendous. There are plenty of mages who don't have tailoring, but I would strongly suggest having it, whether you want to level it during the grind to 70, or just do it all after.

As for instances - the experiences you have in the lower level instances is much different that how the higher level ones will work. Players will have a better idea of their roles and what to do when you get to 70 (for the most part, but there is always some idiot in the LFG channel).

Tailoring sets for priest work much in the same way, as it does for warlocks. The epic tailoring sets are great for end game raiding and will last you for quite some time.

Thanks for the replies .

i decided to get Tailoring instead of the skinning/enchanting combo i had.

As i have 5 characters now on horde side all farming as they go along i had plenty of linen to start out so in less than an hour i have now got to the wool which i did have some of but of course not quite enough as yet .

My tip for new tailors/enchanters is just make bolts of linen cloth at first until you get no skill points ,it will get you to around 48 skill points .

That should give you enough bolts to start making the Brown linen robes , which will help you by being disenchanted and get you to around skill 80 , it may be easier to start on a slightly better item but always pick something you can disenchant.

what you need to do is as soon as you can make Bolts of wool cloth is keep making them until you get no skill points they should get you to over 100 easily .

Then pick any item either brown or yellow in skill that can be disenchanted until you get to create bolts of silk cloth and make them until you cannot get any skill points.

Depending on your starting level of course you make items you can use if needed but if a high level make items to disenchant only as that should give you enough to get your enchanting up to a reasonable level.

best tip i have is always make Bolts of cloth as soon as your skill level is high enough , even if not used by you they can always be sold at the Auction House , I have a level 39 Nightelf Priest that has 298 Tailoring so i do understand how to level Tailoring/enchanting fast and at a reasonable cost by just farming alone .Admittedly with help from my level 70 hunter though.

Depending on your server prices it may be possible to buy cloth turn it into Bolts of cloth and resell at no loss ? , That would be a fast and easy way to level tailoring as well...

It is still worth it for frost mages. The set bonus sucks for mages, but the + frost dmg is still great to T5 raids.

At 2% per spell you are only getting ~60 back, which isn't all that significant, and when compared to other set bonuses (tier gear or spellfire) it is pretty sad. Plus, if you are getting hit 60 health isn't going to make up for much when getting hit by anything in a raid, or even while questing...especially to be significant.
