This is a powerleveling guide which will walk you through the quickest and cheapest way to powerlevel tailoring from 375-450 using alternative patterns listed whenever it makes sense.

Leveling Guide:
Note every pattern listed is purchasable from the trainer or a vendor unless highlighted

From 350-375
Bolt of Frostweave (5x Frostweave Cloth) x 1445
Not at 375 yet? No worries! You can make Bolt of Frostweaves until you are!

From 375-380
Frostwoven Robe (4x Bolt of Frostweave, 1x Eternium Thread) x5

From 375-425
you can craft basically the entire Frostwoven and Duskweave set - which is worth it if you plan on using it. Otherwise just goes over the cheapest items in these 2 sets to skill up with.

From 380-390
Frostwoven Leggings (5x Bolt of Frostweave, 1x Ethernium Thread) x10

From 390-395
Frostwoven Boots (4x Bolt of Frostweave, 1x Ethernium Thread) x5

From 395-400
Frostwoven Leggings (5x Bolt of Frostweave, 1x Ethernium Thread) x5

From 400-405
Bolt of Imbued Frostweave (3x Bolt of Frostweave, 2x Infinite Dust) x5
Craft as may of these as you can until it turns grey at 405, you’ll need it to level from 425-450. If you plan on leveling only to 440 you’ll need 90 of these. If you plan on leveling to 450 you need about 300 more.

From 405-415
Duskweave Wristwraps (8x Bolt of Frostweave, 1x Ethernium Thread) x5

From 415-420
Duskweave Gloves (9x Bolt of Frostweave, 1x Ethernium Thread) x5

From 420-425
Duskweave Shoulders (10x Bolt of Frostweave, 1x Ethernium Thread) x5

From 425-430
Frostweave Bag (6x Bolt of Imbued Frostweave, 2x Ethernium Thread) x5
Black Duskweave Wristwraps (4x Bolt of Imbued Frostweave, 2x Iceweb Spider Silk, 2x Ethernium Thread) x5
Black Duskweave Leggings (5x Bolt of Imbued Frostweave, 2x Iceweb Spider Silk, 2x Ethernium Thread) x5
Depending if you have any Iceweb Spider Silk, Black Duskweave Wristwraps are the cheapest way to level to 430 - I included the Black Duskweave Leggings as they are a good pair of rare leggings that cost only 1 extra Bolt of Imbued Frostweave.

From 430-440
Frostweave Bag (6x Bolt of Imbued Frostweave, 2x Ethernium Thread) x10
Cheapest thing you can make at this point and at least you can auction them to get some profit.

From 440-445
Frostweave Bag (6x Bolt of Imbued Frostweave, 2x Ethernium Thread) x25
Optional Abyssal Bag (4x Ebonweave, 2x Spellweave, 1x Ethernium Thread) x5 - Pattern Obtained through Knights of the Ebon Blade Revered Reputation
Optional Mysterious Bag (4x Spellweave, 2x Moonshroud, 1x Ethernium Thread) x5 - Pattern Obtained through The Wyrmrest Accord Revered Reputation
Optional Glacial Bag (4x Moonshroud, 4x Ebonweave, 1x Ethernium Thread) x5 - Pattern Obtained through The Son of Hodir Exaulted Reputation
Now this gets extremely hard. There are a handful of patterns that stay yellow to 445 but the cheapest way to go is to just make 25x Frostweave Bags and pray that you get lucky. No seriously. The other option is to craft the 3 rare bags - however Ebonweave, Spellweave, and Moonshroud all have a 4 day cooldown (similar to the cloths in TBC) and the patterns all require reputation to purchase.

From 445-450
Frostweave Bag (6x Bolt of Imbued Frostweave, 2x Ethernium Thread) x25
Optional Ebonweave Gloves (4x Ebonweave, 4x Bolt of Imbued Frostweave, 1x Eternium Thread, 1x Frozen Orb) x5
Optional Moonshroud Gloves (4x Moonshroud, 4x Bolt of Imbued Frostweave, 1x Eternium Thread, 1x Frozen Orb) x5
Optional Spellweave Gloves (4x Spellweave, 4x Bolt of Imbued Frostweave, 1x Eternium Thread, 1x Frozen Orb) x5
Optional Mysterious Bag (4x Spellweave, 2x Moonshroud, 1x Ethernium Thread) x5
Optional Glacial Bag (4x Moonshroud, 4x Ebonweave, 1x Ethernium Thread) x5
You can also make the tailoring epic gloves now as well so might as well craft 1 to help level. Past that the cheapest way is still Frostweave Bag followed by the 2 rare bags. (Abyssal Bags turn green at 445 so is not on this list.)


Total Materials Required:
390 Imbued Frostweave
275 Frostweave Bolt
175 Ethernium Thread

or

7225 Frostweave Cloth
780 Infinite Dust
175 Ethernium Thread

Note that this is the fastest way to get to 450 - you can craft the optional items to sell or to use, but you’ll need more types of materials and it’ll cost a lot more and/or take much longer.


Special Perks for Tailors
Tailors get unique cloak enchants (healer - Darkglow Embroidery, caster - Lightweave Embroidery, melee - Swordguard Embroidery and as well as an easy to craft Spellthread to use on their pants (note that it is not any better then the one they can craft for other players, however the materials are drastically cheaper). Finally tailors get to craft a magic carpet to ride on! Tailors also get a new ability learned from a world drop book - Northern Cloth Scavenging - which increases the cloth drop rates of all Northrend Humonoids they kill!

For those saving TBC materials - you can still make rare/epic TBC tailoring items up to 395 (just about every pattern that crafts a rare/epic item that you learned at 375 will turn green at 390 and gray at 395) however this guide will focus on the cheapest materials to get to 450 - which in all cases points to new Northrend green tailoring items. If you still want to stock up on materials to level with TBC mats your best bet is to craft a ton of Golden Spellthread/Runic Spellthread as they are currently the cheapest high level items as well as still being somewhat useful in WOTLK.

N.B. as is common with all the professions now, getting from 350 to 375 is a huge pain. Trainers don't teach anything worthwhile, so the only way to do it, is via random world drop patterns or rep rewards. I'll use rep reward patterns in this guide.

351-365
For those with Scryers rep - Honoured:
Enchanted Felscale Gloves or Boots (4 x Heavy Knothide Leather, 10 x Fel Scales, 6 x Primal Mana) x 15

For those with The Consortium rep - Honored
Fel Leather Boots (10 x Heavy Knothide Leather, 8 x Fel Hide, 8 x Primal Shadow, 3 x Rune Thread) x 15


N.B. these last 10 points are going to cost you a LOT! (as if the last 15 didn't cost enough!) The materials required are fairly insane and so is the rep requirement, but at the moment I don't see a better way of leveling up.

365-370
You need to be Friendly with Cenarion Expedition for the next part:
Heavy Clefthoof Boots (4 x Heavy Knothide Leather, 20 x Thick Clefthoof Leather¹, 4 x Primal Earth, 2 x Rune Thread) x 5

Alternatively, if your Exalted with Thrallmar or Honor Hold for the next part.
Nethercobra Leg Armor (4 x Heavy Knothide Leather, 4 x Cobra Scales, 8 x Primal Air, 1 x Primal Nether) x 5

Alternatively, if your exalted with The Sha'tar:
Drums of Battle (2 Heavy Knothide Leather, 1 x Primal Fire, 1 Primal Earth) x 5

Thick Clefthoof Leather is easier to obtain than Cobra Scales, so I would recommend you try to get CE friendly rep.

N.B. any of the above three could take you to 375, but the material requirement makes for a LOT of farming, as those last 5 points can mean making another 20-30 items.

371-375
Your either going to have to make random world drop epics here with lots of insane material requirements OR go and get exalted with Keepers of Time. Seeing as the epics are random world drop patterns, I'll go with Keepers of Time rep rewards. You'll need to be level 66 to start your Keepers of Time rep and spend a LOT of time in The Caverns of Time.

Drums of Panic (2 x Heavy Knothide Leather, 2 x Primal Shadow) x 5


Approximate Materials Required

With Scryers Rep
100 x Knothide Leather Scraps
725 x Knothide Leather (+30 if you went CE rep)
75 x Rune Thread (+10 if you went CE rep)
175 x Fel Scales
90 x Primal Mana
20 x Cobra Scales (if your Thrallmar or Honor Hold exalted) or 100 x Thick Clefthoof Leather (if you went with CE rep)
40 x Primal Air (if your Thrallmar or Honor Hold exalted) or 20 x Primal Earth (if you went with CE rep)
5 x Primal Nether (Don't need these if you go with CE or Sha'tar rep)
10 x Primal Shadow

N.B. if you went with Sha'tar rep at 365, then you'll need 10 less Heavy Knothide Leather, 40 less Primal Air, 5 Primal Earth and 5 less Primal Nether. Gets complicated, don't it?

With The Consortium Rep
100 x Knothide Leather Scraps
1175 x Knothide Leather (+30 if you went CE rep)
120 x Fel Hide
120 x Rune Thread (+10 if you went CE rep)
25 x Fel Scales
20 x Cobra Scales (if your Thrallmar or Honor Hold exalted) or 100 x Thick Clefthoof Leather (if you went with CE rep)
40 x Primal Air (if your Thrallmar or Honor Hold exalted) or 20 x Primal Earth (if you went with CE rep)
5 x Primal Nether (Don't need these if you go with CE or Sha'tar rep)
130 x Primal Shadow
N.B. if you went with Sha'tar rep at 365, then you'll need 10 less Heavy Knothide Leather, 40 less Primal Air, 5 Primal Earth and 5 less Primal Nether.

Going from 300 to 375 is dead easy, but its going to take you as long, if not longer than it took to go from 1 to 300. Even if your skinning orange mobs, you'll only get a skill up every 5-7 successful skins.

Realistically, you could level up to 375 on the mobs around Hellfire Peninsula, but it's not the most efficient way. The following is what I believe to be a more efficient way to level it up.

301 - 310
Hellboars around Hellfire Citadel in Hellfire Peninsula.

310 - 330
Ravagers around Falcon Watch in Hellfire Peninsula.

330 - 350
Talbuk's and Clefthoofs all over Nagrand. (you could just as easily continue skinning to 375 here if you want, as if wont take that much longer, than going to Netherstorm and skinning Drakes)

350 - 375
Netherdrakes around Stormspire in Netherstorm or around Netherwing Fields in Shadowmoon Valley or Raptors and Wind Serpents around Blades Edge Mountains.

Power Leveling
This is the method the power levelers have used since closed beta and I finally got one of them to give it up. It is by no means the way to go if you want to maximize your experience in the game as this method will bypass almost all the content in the game and essentially ignore many of the fun, unique aspects of WoW. This is not recommended for new players and is meant for players who already have experienced the content and just want to level up an alt to play with their level 60 friends (ie. your level 60 instance group needs a priest and there are no priests to be had). As a benchmark to how successful you are with this, download cosmos (Cosmos) and use the clock feature to measure your xp/hour. At level 50 you should be getting about 40,000+/hour. 1-20: Newbie lands, stick to the friendly zones (not contested). Just grind. The quests are a waste of time up to level 20 if you are focusing on maxing out xp per hour. 20-26: Wetlands quests and raptors/slime/orcs for grinding. Redridge mountain Lakeshire quests.

26-30: Duskwood quests and undead for grinding. Hillsbrad critter roamers for grinding.

30-35: Did these all in a day on Daggerspines in Hillsbrad right next to Southshore along the coast. Huge spawn, very fast respawn rate, easy mobs to kill. Purgation isle (island in the very far Southwest water area of Hillsbrad) also a nice secluded place you can grind on undead.

36-40: Hillsbrad Southshore quests. Desolace quests and kodo grinding for 36-38, then Undead Ravagers in the southeast for 38-40. Cresting exiles at the circle of outer binding in Arathi also for 37-41; extremely easy mobs with a fast respawn. Alterac ogres from 35-40 for grinding. Drywhisker kobolds in Arathi east of Hammerfall for 36-39 for grinding.

41-45: Hinterlands trolls, owl beasts, and wolves for grinding and quests. Badlands ogres, gnolls, and quests.

45-48: Tanaris quests and pirates on the eastern peninsula for grinding. Stranglethorn Vale quests (only if you need rewards imo). Badlands greater elementals for grinding.

48-52: Felwood deadwood gnolls for grinding and quests from the sanctuary in the south. Blasted lands Dreadmauls for grinding. Un'goro crater (best started at 50) for primarily quests and grinding off the plants and tar elementals. Azshara undead highbornes and thunderhead hyppogriffs for grinding.

52-55: Azshara blood elves for grinding. Burning Steppes Dreadmaul Rock ogre caves firegut ogres (very low AC) for grinding. Felwood irontree woods and cave for grinding (great spot). Western Plaguelands questing for argent dawn and grinding on undead throughout the various camps.

55-58: Eastern plaguelands quests from the sanctuary, grinding on undead at the ruined towns. Winterspring grinding at winterfall village or Lake Kel'Theril undead highbornes (my personal favorite camp). Blackrock Stronghold in Burning Steppes for grinding.

58-60: "The" yeti cave in Winterspring, due Southeast of Everlook (very nice place). Grosh Gok compound ogres in Deadwind pass (great spot, no one knows about it). Eastern plaguelands Fungal Vale undead grinding and argent dawn token farming. MoonOwls in northeast Winterspring for grinding.

from www.freewarcraftgold.com

This powerleveling guide is focused on leveling jewelcrafting from 1-300 as quickly and easily as possible when The Burning Crusade is released. This should give you edge over players who are unprepared when the expansion is out. I have chosen designs with easily obtainable materials opposed to cheap materials, and I have not considered resale value on items. If you have any suggestions, please share them with me at jewelcrafting@freewarcraftgold.com. Additionally, this guide was written during the beta so design specifications and material are likely to change. Please keep me posted with what you discover so I can keep this guide updated.

Once the Burning Crusade is released, the below materials will likely increase in value as Horde and Alliance shuffle to their respected cities and try to power level Jewelcrafting. I strongly recommend not only buying what you'll need to level to 300, but also extras in case something goes wrong after The Burning Crusade is released.

Here is the list of best case scenario and recommended amounts of materials for 1-300 Jewelcrafting:

7g 12s 80c for training
180-240 Copper Bars
50-75 Malachite
100-140 Silver Bars
40-60 Shadowgems
100-140 Bronze Bars
75-90 Jade
90-120 Elemental Earth
120-180 Thorium Bars
30-45 Star Rubys
30-40 Large Opal

Acquire the above materials and then go to the Jewelcrafting trainer in Silvermoon / Exodar. You shouldn't have to leave once you start.

Congrats you're level 300! Please, if for some reason you copy this guide to your own page provide www.freewarcraftgold.com with a backlink. Good luck in the Outlands!

Remember, when The Burning Crusade is released, these items will be high demand. So you've got to stock up before the expansion hits shelves and is installed. What I'm saying is, make sure you have this stuff before you venture into the Outlands or you'll be wishing you didn't have to go back to collect materials.
