Tailoring Should Be The Model For All Crafting Professions In The Future

by Angelo on June 2nd, 2008

I have a warlock that I’m slowly leveling during the times I don’t feel like playing any of my two 70’s. After seeing how great the Frozen Shadoweave set was, I wasn’t going to pass up on being a tailor again. I felt that it was too late to take up tailoring on my mage since I already invested a lot in his alchemy. The plan was to have my lock as my second 70 and gear more easily since I’ll have the Frozen Shadoweave set, which gives so much more benefit for the materials you need to make it. Of course, what actually happened was that I decided to have a healer instead and leveled my paladin. But now that I’m playing my warlock again, it feels great to know that I’ll have a relatively easy way to gear up when I get to 70, which is great since I won’t put as much effort into gearing him up as I did my 2 current 70’s.

This really shows that by having the 3 tailoring specializations of Spellfire, Frozen Shadoweave, and Primal Mooncloth a clothie tailor who only plays casually can still have really great gear that he can bring into heroics and even raids like Karazhan, Gruul’s Lair and the like.To prove to you how casual friendly tailoring is, I have a warlock friend who, for some reason, doesn’t have the time to do dungeons and even pvp. All he does is do quests and farm stuff. He doesn’t play too often and sometimes takes long breaks from the game. He’s probably what you may consider more casual than most players who consider themselves casual. yet, he managed to put together a few pieces of the Frozen Shadoweave set and very soon I think he’s going to complete it.

If you were to look, you really can’t find anything like the three tailoring specialization sets in other professions. Engineering, Blacksmithing and Leatherworking have their own BoP crafted epics but they need Primal Nether. Of course, those are BoE now but you’ll still need to get badges, do dungeons or buy them from the AH to get one. From a purely farming stand point, you really won’t be able to get a primal nether (unless you manage to get 10 badges from the SSO supply bags that drop them rarely).

I think this model for tailoring to be friendly to casual players who want good gear should be echoed across all other crafting professions in the next expansion. We’ve seen that it’s such a great success and I definitely wouldn’t mind seeing this experience outside tailoring.
