Anybody got any resources that can inform me of the cost to learn parts of your profession from vendors? I can’t seem to find anything along those lines.
Edit: It may be presumptuous for me to ask, but if anybody happens to have beta access. Would you mind sharing the cost of recipes from the tailoring trainer. Mostly just the initial tier will be fine.
I mean if you do a Profession Name 1-300 Vanilla Guide, I’m sure something will pop up that has more answers then anyone on here could provide.

Here’s one for Alchemy that seems to be fairly detailed.
I am aware of that site in terms of leveling a profession, but what I am having trouble doing is finding the price of recipes from the trainer.
I see, I don’t remember vendor sold recipes ever being slightly expensive.

This shows that the recipes sold by vendors at Artisan level don’t ever break 3 gold. How accurate is this for Classic, idk.
Unfortunately that one doesn’t show what the recipes cost at trainer. It just shows what the items would sell for.
I would assume almost all vendor sold recipes would be under 1 gold. Again, I never remember having to conscientiously save for the vendor recipes (for alchemy anyways). I believe this is the case for most professions as a lot of the recipes sold for Artisan skill still don’t add up to much. More then likely a few gold would buy all the recipes from 1-225.
Stress test had some funny effects on gold because when you hit level cap you got bonus gold for completing quests. With that caveat, I think I only completed one quest at level 5 “cap” and was able to train alchemy which I leveled to the point of needing briarthorn for the step up healing potions (I didn’t quest in Darkshore to get briarthorn). I wasn’t selling potions/elixirs. I gave away a number of them to people I grouped with (a few people gave me some things back - one armor kit, maybe 2s once). I think that the recipes started in the 30c range and then when up to the 80c range… I think… much salt… many grains of salt…
Vendor sold recipes tended towards more than trainer sold recipes. The linen bag is learned at skill 45 in tailoring. (I went to a trainer and wrote that one down but didn’t think the cost of learning it was worthwhile). If you are looking at calculating the total cost to level a profession (ie very serious penny counting), you probably need to count the vendor items also (the thread, vials, flux, and whatnot).
Very helpful thanks. Mostly I am considering the linen bags if anything and comparing them to just buying a bag from the vendor. My assumption is that the linen bags being crafted should still come out cheaper. I just want to be absolutely sure. I know that the bag from vendor is 5 silver.
Leveling to 10 isn’t really enough cloth drops to do much with tailoring (you don’t really get any cloth until past level 5 and out of the first quest area). I didn’t want to grind cloth to test the tailoring for launch (so I didn’t really get a calculation of how many friends do I need with enough cloth for a bag to get us all bags). I did the “alchemy give a return on investment much sooner” (health potions are useful for squishy clothies even when they have healing spells).
Two linen cloth per bolt. I think you have to make some robes (you can choose one intellect or one spirit) to get to making bags. However, that is a memory from leveling tailoring in BC. If you are an enchanter, you can use what of those robes that you and your friends don’t need to disenchant (the first few disenchants give points (to ten or twenty five). You can make the lesser magic wand at skill 10 (which takes your baby priest from “help the mobs are eating me” to “ha, I spanks those mobs”).
Judging by your thread title, I thought you were going to write up some rap lyrics about professions. Any chance you could still do that, OP?
I actually did test this out during the stress test. Leveling a gnome, I went to the Quarry just before hitting level 8 and was able to farm enough that I could make 4 linen cloth bags. But I failed to keep track of the expenses for it on top of the fact that I learned the recipes don’t show required reagents until bought. So looking to refine my plan if possible.
How many pieces of cloth was this? Did you need to make other items to get the skill to make bags? This inquiring mind really does want to know. ![:wink:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/wink.png?v=6" ":wink:")
Greetings to all, do I have your attention?
You see I have a question for professions.
I grew up poor in a town called Anvilmar.
So I gotta make those bags or I won’t get too far!
So if you be so kind to help a Gee-nome.
By sharing the price of those tailoring tome.
My other professions observations are fishing. In the starting areas, at fishing skill one, you need at +25 fishing lure to prevent fish from getting away. However, I only had 2 fish get away without using one (one character), so you can probably skip that expense with very little irritation. All the coppers count when you are starting out.
When you hit up Gubber Blump to fish for the Darkshore Grouper, remember to talk to the gnome upstairs in the in because he has a quest to fish in the ocean (followed by one to fish in fresh water). The drop rate on the first one sucks.
If I am not mistaken it was around 85-100 linen cloth. I knew I absolutely had 65, but I made the mistake of already have some skillups unaccounted for. I made as many bolts as I could which got me majority of the way and then bought the brown linen robe to get me the rest of the way up in skill although I could have probably done it with a different pattern.
Edit: Looking into the patterns. If I did Linen Belt instead, it would have allowed me to make even more bags if I wanted to. The pattern I originally used required 3 bolts of linen cloth whereas the linen belt would only require 1 each.
Ah the joys of early crafting with no gold, is the marginal difference of 2 bolts of linen cloth worth the difference between the robe and the belt? Does my mage friend need a robe? Are they all for DE? Can I afford the extra pattern? Are both patterns going to 100% give me a skill up? Is the marginal difference between the yellow and the orange recipe worth the risk of not a skill up?
This post can’t get enough attention to ever applaud that performance. Well done 5/7.
Alright, managed to obtain the information I needed. Most of the patterns cost between 25-35c and Linen Bag is 1s. Course Thread can be bought at 10c each. Using the linen cloth farmed as mentioned prior, you should be able to get close to 40 skill at least. Buy Linen Belt (gonna say 30c for the average) and use 1 Course Thread for each skill point needed which should be less than 7. Three Course Thread are needed for Linen Bags.
So taking this information into account on the high end and 100 linen cloth (50 bolts) as the basis. You would be down to 43 bolts and spent 1s 55c for the needed training and 70c for the Course Thread. You can make 14 Linen Cloth Bags which means 4s 20c if you were to make all of them. So for only 6s 45c compared to vendor bag being 5s, this is very much worth the time to gather linen cloth over the few levels.
