Making money of tailoring..Follow

Yeah, I'd miss netherweave nets a lot too.

Anyways, Tailoring is not that good of a moneymaker even thought you might sell off some Netherweave and Imbued Netherweave set pieces.

The real cash you can only get over 350 and most probably once you reach 375.
BoE items such as Battlecast, Spellstrike or Whitemend sets can go for quite some cash from what I know. You can also make some cash by selling Shadowcloth/Spellcloth/Primal Mooncloth, they go for median 85G on my server, take a couple or 3 hours off to farm a couple of primals every 4 days (or just buy them cheaply at the AH) and sell the cloths off for some nice extra gold.

I myself wouldn't bother reworking a skill up from 0 on my main, already did it with enchanting and that's an easy one :S

You're a warlock and you think tailoring is only useful for the nets? The chest/boots/shoulders are the best you can get right now, period. I say stick with tailoring for the frozen shadoweave gear. Along the way you can get some BOP patterns that require nethers, and each nether used you can sell for roughly 150-250 gold.

Everyday I see different people in trade channel, looking for a tailor with nethers and the spellstrike hood pattern. If you got your hands on that, and ran alot of 5 man heroics you could make a killing sitting in shattrath. And bags sell for a bit more then cloth, so you can always turn spare netherweave into bags and make more that way.

And once you've crafted all your gear after 375 tailoring you can sell 4 cloth every 4 days for 50-60 gold a piece. So 200-240g every 4 days. You have to farm some primals, but when you 'specialize' at 350 you get a free piece each time off your specialty cloth. So maybe just make 2 pieces of shadowcloth every 4 days - 40g worth of mats, sell both for 110g total.

Basically the money makers are:
- rare patterns
- rare patterns requiring primal nethers
- cloth (shadowcloth, spellcloth, primal mooncloth)
- bolts of cloth (bolts of imbued netherweave for example)
- bags (14/16/18 slot bags)
- specialty bags (28 slot enchanting/soul bags, 20 slot bags)

Nah, it requires a ton of extra farming. Especially at the high levels (300-375 tailoring). Questing from 60-70 in outlands will maybe get you 1/3 of the required cloth.

And it gets really frustrating. At one point, the only skillups are off imbued netherweave tunics/robes. I forget the exact mats, but something like 108 pieces of netherweave, 12 arcane dust and 2 spider silk. So you have to go out of your way to farm those dumb spider silks (people love charging 5g/pop), and 108 cloth which easily sell for 5g/stack so 25g total. And the dust is quite easily 20g on most servers, and those silk are 10g.

Add it up, thats a 55g tunic. Then you list it on the auction house....oh great, theres 17 on there, and the lowest bid is 6 gold.

So yeah, its an expensive, time consuming pain to level, but if you play your cards right at 375 you can make a TON of money back, plus thousands of profit. But you need epic patterns that are high in demand, and you need to run heroics for primal nethers.

My main point is that 'simply questing' doesnt even get you close to the required amount of cloth.

You can't wear the frozen shadoweave if you drop tailoring. You must always remain a 350+ "shadoweave tailor" to wear the gear, and of course you actually need 375 to get the 3/3 bonus (chest piece requires 375).

So you cannot, I repeat, cannot level tailoring to 375, make your gear, then drop the profession. You will not be able to wear it anymore.
