Tailoring

Thanks to the Dreamcloth recipe, Tailors will have some very, very easy ways to make gold in Cataclysm. You can make several hundred gold per day profit simply by creating Dreamcloth. You can create 5 Dreamcloth (cheaply) once a week, and you can then convert these recipes into a lot of valuable items.

The key to maximizing your profits off of Dreamcloth is to evaluate which recipe will currently give you the most money per Dreamcloth required. There are a lot of different recipes with the potential to be valuable but require varying amounts of Dreamcloth. Here is a list:

·          Powerful Ghostly Spellthread (1x dreamcloth)

·          Powerful Enchanted Spellthread (1x dreamcloth)

·          Flame-Ascended Pantaloons (6x dreamcloth)

·          Dreamless Belt (4x dreamcloth)

·          Breaches of Mended Nightmares (6x dreamcloth)

·          Belt of the Depths (4x dreamcloth)

·          Illusionary Bag (8x dreamcloth)

Now, all of these recipes have the potential to be profitable. In order to maximize your profits, however, you need to check your Auction House and figure out which recipe is going to pay the most gold per dreamcloth used.

In other words, the Spellthreads will set the going rate for dreamcloth (likely as much as 500 gold around release, and this will come down over time very rapidly as the materials get cheaper).

If Spellthread is currently going for 300g on your server, then in order to make the Breeches of Mended Nightmares a profitable craft, you need to be able to sell them for more than 1,800 gold (6 dreamcloth * 300 gold a piece).

Additionally, the Illusionary Bag is capped at 3,000 gold value, as the Haris Pilton character in Shattrath City sells a 24 slot bag for 3,000 gold. As a result, if Dreamcloth is worth more than 375 gold, you cannot craft this recipe.

However, if Dreamcloth is worth less than 350 gold at any given time, you can craft the bag and earn a profit (it will sell for 2500 gold until more people start making them). If you are the only one selling it, do not get discouraged if it does not sell for 2,500 gold - relist it at the same price as it is likely there was just not any buyers looking for it at the time.

What to Make With Dreamcloth

Early around Cataclysm's release, you are best off trying to make some of the BoE epic pants. In particular, Flame-Ascended Pantaloons, as I have always found that DPS-oriented gear sells better than healing gear, especially BoE pieces. Very few casual players (the type who buy BoE epics) play healers. Also, there are plenty of healers who like to pick up DPS gear for their off spec, and often do so through BoE epics.

Later in Cataclysm, I suspect that Spellthreads and Illusion Bags will be the easiest ways to make gold. The Spellthreads will be in high demand each Tailor can only make a few each week. Illusion Bags will also always be valuable, at least until the next expansion rolls around.

Other Profitable Recipes: PvP Gear

As with many other professions, the pieces of the blue PvP gear that are 525 in skill are good for making money with. Here is a list:

·          Emberfire Cowl

·          Emberfire Pants

·          Emberfire Robe

·          Fireweave Robe

·          Fireweave Pants

·          Fireweave Cowl

In particular though, the Fireweave pieces tend to sell for more gold and sell more frequently than the Emberfire pieces, given that the Fireweave set is more "DPS" oriented and things like spirit are not highly prized in PvP.

As a result, I would recommend focusing on the three Fireweave pieces mentioned above. These pieces have very low material requirements and are actually pretty good for someone just entering PvP. You can easily craft these with little investment and turn a solid profit on each piece (50g+).

Bags

The other great way for Tailors to make money is by crafting bags. As mentioned earlier, the Illusionary Bag is worthwhile if prices of Dreamcloth fall, but the following three bags can also make players a nice amount of gold:

·          Embersilk Bag

·          Otherwordly Bag

·          Hyjal Expeditionary Bag

The Embersilk Bag is likely to have high competition and players can only expect to earn 10-15g on each one, but dozens of these will sell each day on every server. If you ever see less than 10 of these up, craft a bunch and list them up.

The Otherwordly Bag and Hyjal Expeditionary Bag should be done on a case-by-case basis. Scan the auction house for the current price, then check out the materials and quickly calculate if it is profitable or not. These do not sell nearly as quickly, so be careful not to jump into the market if there are already 10+ for sale on the Auction House.

Conclusion

Tailors can make 500+ gold per day just by following this simple plan:

·          Check the price of Dreamcloth (i.e. current price of Spellthreads) and complete all of your timed conversions that are profitable once per week.

·          Turn the Dreamcloth into Spellthreads or Bags, depending on cost.

·          Craft the 525 skill blue PvP set and list on the auction house for a 50g mark-up whenever possible.

·          Keep the auction house stocked with 22-slot bags, enchanting bags, and herbalism bags whenever the supplies dwindle.
