For some reason I never really thought about taking up tailoring as a profession, I ended up spending most of my money on enchanting, my Son concentrated on tailoring and I foolishly thought that he could make me some decent gear when I needed it.What I omitted to notice was that the decent ‘epic‘ gear available at the high end of tailoring is bind on pickup, which means you cannot make if for somebody else - oops!When applying for the AHIF guild it was suggested as a good improvement to my gear to use tailoring to get the [Frozen Shadoweave Shoulders], [Frozen Shadoweave Boots] and [Frozen Shadoweave Robe] and other high end tailoring products!So on the evening of Friday 31st I ‘threw’ away 45 skill in engineering and started to learn tailoring. I used the guide which is available from Valcor’s website once you purchase the gold making guide. It was pretty quick work getting to skill level 250, maybe 2 hours or so but now Runecloth was needed, lots of it, about 900 or 45 stacks!. This was selling for a silly price, like 3 gold on the auction house. We had a bash at farming some and also had some generous donations - “Thanks” So a short while later I reached skill level 300, to progress further needed Netherweave, about 2500 to get you to the top skill level - 375!Fortunately my son has a level 70 mage and I was able to bribe persuade him to farm me some Netherweave, in fact he did this for several hours and managed to fill a few bags and also make a decent amount of gold towards his flying mount. Here is a short video he made of the technique.With all the Netherweave from this and a few more generous donations, I was able to get my tailoring up to 350 by the following evening, I began with about 350g and was down to a measly 30g by that time!So my advice to all the cloth wearers out there is - start tailoring early!

I also made this mistake when leveling my priest. I had a lock buddy I leveled with go tailoring and I dropped it at around 150 thinking he could make me the gear and it wasn’t very productive for both of us to be the same profession. Well, he ended up quitting at 70 and, as you said, the best Tailoring gear is BoP. I ended up switching back for the mooncloth set (I’m still declining T4 gear because of the PMC/Whitemend combo). It is one of the reasons I have yet to get my Epic Flyer (the other that I dabbled in enchanting too at one point and dropped it too). My recommendation to clothies who plan on getting the epic tailoring sets is to level 2 gathering professions while saving all the cloth you can as you level (a bank alt here is a must) and switching a gathering out for tailoring in the mid 60’s when you have the money for your mounts already made.
i had trouble as well i stated off with enchanting and took up a hunfred diffren proffeions (enginring,leather working,Jewl crafting) but finaly decide on talioring. i had it for a wile and its now at 206 ….. nut it so hard to LEV NOW ! i dont know whhat to go i need help
You really have to stick at it. Its best to pick it up early but I didn’t and managed to level it from 0 to 375 in a few weeks. The real work comes when you get near to 360 ish!
itaa now at 210 but i HAVE NO MORE SILK CLOTH it annioies me so much!
