TBC Classic Tailoring Leveling Guide 1-375 | Burning Crusade Anniversary 2026

This TBC Classic Tailoring leveling guide walks you through the fastest path from 1 to 375 in the Burning Crusade Anniversary — with a full materials list, step-by-step crafting path, and trainer locations for both Horde and Alliance.

One of Tailoring’s biggest advantages is that you don’t need a gathering profession to support it. Cloth drops naturally from humanoids while you level, which means you can progress your character and your profession simultaneously without detours. If you want to pair Tailoring with something, Enchanting is the go-to choice — you disenchant the gear you craft and use those materials to level both professions at once.

Full Materials List Before You Start

Buy or farm everything below before you sit down to level. Prices fluctuate, so check your server’s Auction House first — especially for Silk and Runecloth, which can spike early in a fresh economy.

Classic (1–300)

⚡ If you go the Dream Dust route for the final 280–300 stretch, add an extra 250 Runecloth to your shopping list.

TBC (300–375)

🎯 Hold off on buying Netherweb Spider Silk until you’re in the 360–375 range. If you get lucky with dungeon-drop patterns from The Mechanar, you may not need them at all.

Tailoring Trainers

In TBC Classic Anniversary, you can learn all ranks from 1–300 at any major city trainer — no need to hunt down specific NPCs across Azeroth.

Horde: Magar in Orgrimmar, Josef Gregorian in Undercity, Keelen Sheets in Silvermoon City

Alliance: Georgio Bolero in Stormwind, Jormund Stonebrow in Ironforge, Refik in The Exodar

Master Tailoring (300–375):

• Alliance: Hama at Honor Hold, Hellfire Peninsula
• Horde: Dalinna at Thrallmar, Hellfire Peninsula

Train Master Tailoring the moment you step through the Dark Portal. Don’t waste a single craft while capped at 300.

Step-by-Step Leveling Path

1–75: Linen Cloth

Start by converting your Linen Cloth into bolts, then use those bolts to craft gear. Vendor thread is cheap and available right next to your trainer.

• 1–45: Craft Bolt of Linen Cloth — keep all of these, you’ll use them shortly (102 bolts from 204 Linen Cloth)
• 45–70: Craft Linen Belt until 70
• 70–75: Craft Reinforced Linen Cape × 5

⚡ Visit your trainer to learn Journeyman Tailoring (requires level 10) before this stretch.

75–125: Wool Cloth

This section is cheap and fast. Wool Cloth drops early in the game and stays affordable on most servers.

• 75–100: Craft Bolt of Woolen Cloth × 45 — keep all of these
• 100–110: Craft Simple Kilt × 13
• 110–125: Craft Double-stitched Woolen Shoulders × 15

125–205: Silk Cloth

Before starting this section, pick up Expert Tailoring from your trainer (requires level 20). You’ll also need to grab Blue Dye, Red Dye, Bleach, and Fine Thread from a Trade Vendor.

• 125–145: Craft Bolt of Silk Cloth × 201 — save all bolts
• 145–160: Craft Azure Silk Hood × 18
• 160–170: Craft Silk Headband × 10
• 170–175: Craft Formal White Shirt × 5
• 175–185: Craft Bolt of Mageweave × 94 — save all bolts
• 185–205: Craft Crimson Silk Vest × 20

205–300: Mageweave and Runecloth

Learn Artisan Tailoring at your trainer (requires level 35). This is the longest stretch before Outland — stick with it, it moves faster than it looks.

• 205–215: Craft Crimson Silk Pantaloons × 10
• 215–220: Craft Orange Mageweave Shirt × 5
• 220–230: Craft Black Mageweave Gloves × 10
• 230–250: Craft Black Mageweave Headband × 23
• 250–260: Craft Bolt of Runecloth × 239 — save all bolts
• 260–280: Craft Runecloth Belt × 25

For 280–300, pick whichever option is cheapest on your server:

🎯 Brightcloth Cloak is usually the cleanest option if Gold Bars aren’t too expensive. Check your AH before deciding.

300–375: Outland — Netherweave All the Way

This section is straightforward once you’re in Outland. The vast majority of it runs on Netherweave Cloth, which drops constantly in Hellfire Peninsula dungeons and from humanoids across every Outland zone. Legion Hold in Shadowmoon Valley is the best farming spot — fast respawns, high cloth drop rate.

For Bolt of Imbued Netherweave, you must stand near the Mana Loom in Shattrath City’s Lower City (/way 66.0, 68.0). Plan your trips accordingly.

• 300–325: Craft Bolt of Netherweave — keep every single bolt, you’ll use them all
• 325–340: Craft Bolt of Imbued Netherweave × 102 (requires Mana Loom, 204 Arcane Dust)
• 340–350: Craft Netherweave Robe
• 350–360: Craft Netherweave Tunic
• 360–375: Craft Imbued Netherweave Tunic OR use dungeon-drop patterns

For 360–375, two patterns from The Mechanar can save you significant materials if you get lucky:

• Pattern: Arcanoweave Boots — dropped by Sunseeker Astromages
• Pattern: Arcanoweave Robe — also from The Mechanar

If you have neither pattern, Imbued Netherweave Tunic gets you to 375 reliably using your existing Bolt of Imbued Netherweave supply plus Netherweb Spider Silk.

What Comes After 375

Once you hit the cap, the next step is choosing a specialization. At level 60 with 350 skill, you can visit Shattrath’s Lower City to pick Spellfire, Shadoweave, or Mooncloth Tailoring — each unlocking a powerful cooldown cloth and a BoP epic set. For everything on that decision, see our full TBC Classic Tailoring Guide.
