Hi all,
I have a 30 warlock tailor and was curious which items sell the best at mid - late game.
Thanks!

Mooncloth - is currently selling on my server for 33g per… mats cost 4g.
Mooncloth and Mooncloth bags. Later on in the game (ZG release) bloodvine set.
At all levels: Bags. Bags will always sell.
Yea because it has a 4 day cooldown to craft.

From what I see, most of the money from tailoring is from bags or the raw cloth itself. Mooncloth is a CD like Transmutation, I believe, so there’s additional value for that. Bloodvine is also a good set but you’ll have to be stuck waiting a while for that to come around.
Bags are more of a way to just move cloth without having to list it behind 30 pages of single items… profit margins are almost 0.
Even at 4 days Mooncloth is profitable. If you really want to farm/sell, get the felcloth gear going now that DM is out.
Bags on my server typically go at ~75% of the cost of the mats. Hopefully that’ll change for the upper level ones.
Can I get uuuuuhhhhhhh, bags
I’m hesitant to reveal my gold making methods but meh…
Get tsm addon, and it can calculate what items are worth what amount of gold, and the crafting cost of all the mats to create them.
I’ll typically craft things that are over 1g profit exclusively for my gold making purposes. I recommend taking care to not flood the market (no more than 2-3 crafts of any single item), and when first selling something to avoid making more than one, until you can judge the market demand (having an item that would make you 20g if it sells, but never sells its never going to make you that 20g). Try and get to know your markets.
My personal best sellers are :
-
Moon cloth bags (buying moon cloth off the ah then crafting)… @ around 5g profit per bag, but a 23 gold cost to make outside of my moon cloth cd (in which case it’s 9g to make)
-
Soul pouches… Specifically the green one… The blue quality pouch from scholo doesn’t sell on my realm and I had to eat 2 of them (but my bank can hold a massive amount of shards now) 1-3g profit per sale
-
shadow weave set. Every lock and priest wants this while leveling. Warlocks in particular tend to have cash to burn in their early 40s as they don’t buy a mount. 1-2g profit per sale
-
Felcloth set… This is bigger chunks of cash when it sells (3-15g) , but they sell less frequently. Much of this is pre raid bis or close enough to pre raid bis. A few pieces require runes (like the shoulders, which are pre raid bis) , but I don’t farm them actively so rarely craft those items. Sold about 15 auctions of fel cloth items this weekend, but over - restocked and have 3 each of pants and helm just wasting inventory space and taking up a significant chunk of my epic mount gold in unsold assets right now.
If you notice, all of those are things warlocks used or needed, giving me some familiarity with the market before diving in. Try and find your own niche, where you can still move a profit, but get sales volume.
Other things I’ve done in limited quantities are disenchantmaterial farming the ah, and buying tons of cloth to convert to bandages to sell to vendor at profit… It’s not great gold per hour at all, but it’s mindless if you want to do other things for an hour or two while just periodically checking in to prevent your toon from afking.

I make nice cash on selling bags. All sizes. Everyone needs bag space.
For endgame, Mooncloth.
Besides what others have said about bags, and mooncloth… some of the Blues sell well. That mid lvl Dreamweave or whatever it is called 3 pieces sell for okay as they are pretty much best Blues a user can equip for quite a few levels. I am still sporting the Robe of Power, and 2 of the Dreamweave pieces at 54.

Good call, forgot to mention dream weave in my post. They’re decent gold makers too (though as with shadow weave and fel cloth sets, you really ideally want tsm to make sure the current prices of the item is worth more than the current price of the mats) circlet, vest, and gloves.

What to sell to best make gold? Almost nothing for Tailoring. You almost make more gold selling the materials instead of the final product.
Here is an example,
Runecloth sells for 7 silver each
Rugged leather sells for 6 silver each
Rune Thread costs 45 silver
Buying these mats for runecloth bags cost 2g and 26s
Runecloth Bags sell for about 2g 25s to 2g 50s each.
If you post a Runecloth Bag and it sells on the auction house for 2g 50s you would net 2g 37s after the 5% cut.
2g 37s for bag sell vs 2g 26s for mats
Not too mention the more cloth you buy the more expensive it is to make and the more bags you list the cheaper they are to buy.
Here is another example,
Mooncloth sells for 25g
Mooncloth bags sell for 22g
Mooncloth bags require 1x mooncloth, 20x runecloth and 1x rune thread, almost 27g cost just in materials. This is a straight loss atm

It is only a loss if you’re buying the materials. If you’re farming mats, then you’re offsetting a lot of costs. The Western and Eastern Plaguelands, as well as Scholomance and Stratholme, are prime high-end cloth farms. Almost all the enemies are humanoid or undead, and drop coin as well.
This is the trap many people fall into. Some people say that it’s free materials to craft if you farm them and then it’s pure profit. This isn’t true as you have to look at the opportunity cost of the materials instead.
You are actually losing gold by crafting the bags with the materials you farmed vs outright selling the materials most of the time.
Just last night I took a look at runecloth and the bags again. I bought 4 bags for 8g 57s on the AH. If I used my own materials to craft said 4 bags instead I would have lost 1g 12s overall compared to what I could have sold my cloth for and not had to buy rune thread.

Shhhhh don’t let them know
Unless it’s a mooncloth bag, the rest sell for vendor price on my server.
A good money maker for a mid LVL tailor is
Dreamweave gear,. Headband gloves, and a lesser extent the vest. They are BIS for a lot of players around that LVL range.
And robes of arcana, because every lock will need one at LVL 30 for their class quest.
Right now biggest moneymaker would be felcloth gloves from diremaul. But by the time you’ll be 60 hype would die down
On Wow Classic Old Blanchy server alliance. I have 6 characters making mooncloth. It’s a great money making. I usually buy the felcloth in AH for 3.5g each. So making 6 every 4 days is not bad. Most of my 6 characters just need to be a minimum level 35. In my server price goes for 25-30g on weekend of each. And week day 18-22g each. I don’t sell them in AH because of the tax. I usually sell them for 20g each on weekend and 18g on weekday. But I see them by the bulk of 5, 10, 15 and 20. If I sell then single they are usually below 1-2g from AH.
