WoW Forever Tailoring Recipe Sources: Trainer, Vendor and Drop Patterns

Beta caveat: built from beta records ahead of launch on 4 Nov UTC / 5 Nov AEDT. [Classic-based] = Classic Era data Forever may change; [Unconfirmed] = to recheck at launch.

Where does each Tailoring pattern come from in Forever? This page sorts them by source: trainer, vendor, quest and drop. For the skill-up route, use the Tailoring 1–300 guide.

How Tailoring recipes are learned

Counts come from Questing.wiki’s Forever Tailoring catalogue of 477 recipes. Some patterns appear twice with different recipe IDs, such as Enchanter’s Cowl and Crimson Silk Robe.

Trainer recipes

Trainer ranks and the skill and level they need are on the Tailoring guide. Trainer recipe lists and costs haven’t been re-checked for Forever, so look at your trainer’s list as you rank up. [Unconfirmed]

Vendor patterns, skill 1–149

Prices are the lowest and highest listed by vendor across Questing.wiki’s Forever vendor records. Most of these sellers carry one copy at a time.

Vendor patterns, skill 150–224

Moonglade, Winterspring and Tanaris are worth one trip each around 215. Darnall in Moonglade and Qia in Winterspring sell the Runecloth patterns.

Vendor and reputation patterns, skill 225–300

Most of these come from faction quartermasters: the Argent Dawn, the Timbermaw (Meilosh), the Cenarion Circle (Mishta), the Thorium Brotherhood (Lokhtos Darkbargainer), the Zandalar Tribe (Rin’wosho the Trader) and the Shen’dralar in Dire Maul. The reputation rank each pattern needs isn’t in the Forever records yet. [Unconfirmed]

Patterns that aren’t in Classic Era

A few vendor patterns use item IDs that Classic Era never had:

• Phoenix Bindings (skill 125) is sold in every capital for 7g 50s to 7g 94s 11c.
• Invoker’s Cord and Invoker’s Mantle (skill 150) are sold by Borya in Orgrimmar and Elynna in Darnassus.
• Hyperconductive Arcano-Filament (200) and Gneuro-Linked Arcano-Filament Monocle (225) are sold by Ziri “The Wrench” Littlesprocket in Gnomeregan.

Forever also adds Merchant’s Favor cloth sets from Mivin Shadowweave at Three Corners. See Merchant’s Favor.

Quest patterns

These come from community reports that mix Forever beta and Classic Era. [Classic-based]

Drop patterns

81 patterns have reported drops. Most low and mid patterns are world drops with dozens of reported sources, and some also turn up in containers. Red Linen Robe, for example, has 200 reported drop sources and is also recorded in Battered Chests across six low-level zones.

Named drops to farm

Each of these has only one or two reported sources in the records, so they’re the ones to farm for. Drop rates aren’t published for Forever yet. [Unconfirmed]

Tips

• Check limited-stock vendors when you pass them. One copy means another player can buy it first.
• Buy the 215–235 Runecloth patterns before you need them, so the last stretch of the route doesn’t stall.
• Rare drop patterns sell well on the auction house, and so do their crafts. See crafting for gold.

FAQ

Does Tailoring have a specialization in WoW Forever?

Not in the sources we checked. Questing.wiki’s Forever specialization records cover only Blacksmithing, Leatherworking and Engineering, and Classic Era Tailoring had none. The Mooncloth pattern is sold by Qia in Winterspring for 2g, with no specialization attached in the records.

Do limited-stock patterns come back?

In Classic they restock after a while. The Forever restock timer hasn’t been confirmed. [Unconfirmed]

Why do prices differ between vendors?

The records list slightly different prices from different vendors for the same pattern. In Classic, faction reputation discounts cause this. [Classic-based]
