Tailoring specializations

Tailors of lvl 60 or higher with a skill of 350 or greater now can choose a Tailoring Specialization. Each of these three specializations allow the tailor access to a number of self only recipes and will allow the tailor to make twice as much of one kind of new cloth as a tailor without this Specialization. Each specialization also provides recipes specific bind-on-pickup cloth gear.

Mooncloth tailoring (Healing): Allows the tailor access to learn the patterns for the Bind on Pickup Primal Mooncloth Set, and to create an additional primal mooncloth at a moonwell.
Shadoweave tailoring (Shadow / Frost): Allows the tailor to learn the patterns for the Bind on Pickup Shadow’s Embrace set, and to create an additional shadowcloth at the Altar of Shadows.
Spellfire tailoring (Fire / Arcane): Allows the tailor to learn the patterns for the Bind on Pickup Wrath of Spellfire set, and to create an additional spellcloth in Netherstorm.

You should make around 20 of these, it depends on your luck. The recipe goes yellow at 430 and green at 440, but you should make these because you will sell them at AH anyway, so you will get most of your gold back. Don’t flood the AH, only put in a few bags at once. It might take weeks or even months before you sell all of them. Try to make Bags for your friends, tell them to bring the materials for it.

Per Frostweave Bag:
60 x Frostweave Cloth
12 x Infinite Dust
2 x Eternium Thread

440 – 450
When you reach 440 you will be able to make new epic recipes, try to find players who need those epic items and craft the items for them if they bring the materials. You can also continue to make [Frostweave Bags].
I hope you liked this Tailoring Guide, GZ to 450!
