Some Tailoring Bonuses
As it is important for us to tell you all the details and reasons to choose this profession, we think you must take a look at these tailoring bonuses that we have specially included in this wotlk tailoring guide.

In wotlk, You will get a chance to embroider your cloaks once you reach level 400. You can use any of the three types of embroidery given below.
- Darkglow Embroidery: You can do this embroidery using Eternium Thread and Ebonweave. It enchants your cloak with a magical pattern that allows you to have a chance to restore 400 mana upon spell casting.
- Lightweave Embroidery: This light pattern of light gives you a chance to increase spell power by 295 for 15 sec. It requires Eternium Thread and Moonshroud to craft this pattern.
