Tailoring & Enchanting 101Follow

I believe you will need to head to Stormwind to learn both abilities. Tailoring can be learned in the Magic District; ask a guard and I believe he'll mark your mini-map (haven't used this feature in a long time). Enchanting is probably also learned in that District, although you may wish to wait 'til higher levels - it's expensive to skillup!

Tailoring:

- gather cloth from humanoid mobs; the level of the mob determines the type of cloth they drop. Tailoring starts with the lowest level cloth and scales up. This scales really well with your levelling curve; you will generally start finding the next stage of cloth when you need it.

- Open the Tailoring interface, craft the cloth into Bolts using your Tailoring skill, then craft them into more complex items using the Bolts and any other vendor-purchased or dropped items. Thread, dye, and some other pieces are vendor purchased, while Elemental Essences are mob-drops.

Enchanting:

- Disenchant magic items (items with a green or blue name, which also have effects and/or stat bonuses). Disenchanting yields various types of Dust and Shards, which can also be purchased in limited quantities from some vendors around the world.

- Once you have the required Dusts and/or Shards, you'd open the Enchanting interface, click on Enchant, and then click on the item you wish to Enchant. This uses the Dusts and/or Shards, and applies a permanent effect to the item. Note that only one player-applied permanent effect can exist on any one item (you can't have a Shield Spike and a +5 Stamina Enchantment on your Shield, for example).

Tradeskill interfaces and other tradeskill-related skills (Disenchant, Find Minerals, etc.) can be opened by pressing "k" in-game, and clicking the appropriate skill-type under the General tab.

Wow, I must've missed it when they updated the tradeskill pages. Nice info there! :)

Ok, i'd like to try this tonight. I'm so excited to weave again. ^.^

Is there a tradeskills forum? I saw the recepies lists, but that's all i could find.

EDIT: Travel information was incorrect.

Yep You are right. You have to walk there first, and the price is not desireable to a stating character. It's ok though, there are tradeskill trainers in many locations. I wouldn't worry about it too much in my opinion. I'm just wandering the world exploring. I'd recommend the boats for travel, they are free.
