Is it just me or does Tailoring seem like it’s in a funk? I’ve seen several long time fellow tailors drop the profession over the past few months. We were chatting about Tailoring not long ago in Guild Chat getting varying feedback but predominantly negative. In TBC, many quickly leveled enchanting to 375 for the crafted sets that could be made, making demand for specialty cloth strong. The cool down is 4 days which really got me scratching my head thinking reducing the CD to 1 day is probably a needed change. It’s simply overlooked due to lack of QQ.
More than likely Tailors saw the grass so green in other professions such as Inscriptions or Jewlcrafting and switched. Chances are the lack of complaints were due to the fact that players had another profession to generate income and didn’t care. Maybe Blizzard just overlooked the fact that Tailoring is turning into Engineering (less the cool toys?) Read more… »
The original release of WoW to many is called vanilla WoW, where the level cap was 60 and we all ran around Azeroth farming materials. Some of those vanilla materials offer a far greater return for your farming time, if you don’t mind kicking it old school, you can make yourself a tidy profit pretty quickly.
The reason these materials still find is a demand can be categorized as (a) yes, people are still just starting to play the game (b) creating new alts or (c) changing professions. The latter is pretty common, right now I’m torn on dropping tailoring on my main (separate story on that later) and perhaps grabbing inscriptions. After the break, we’ll talk about some materials that provide some pretty surprising returns for you farming time or might be good spec buys during the week for that AH Day Trader. Read more… »
It may be worthwhile to chime in on the economic impacts of the LFG Change in Patch 3.3. One does not have to look far to see that this could have an impact on enchanters and tailoring to some extent. The changes in supply and demand on enchanting materials such as Abyss Crystals and Dream Shards as well as Frostweave Cloth on any given realm should ruffle some markets once people start digging into content. You might want to be cautious on trading especially a few days before patch.
Enchanting markets are always sensitive to ebbs and flows from doing the content. Increasing content or reasons to revisit content create inventories of items that can be disenchanted. Tailors with a passive ability to obtain more cloth drops will also see bags start to fill up as well. We’ll tear it down to the nuts and bolts after the break.
