Ouch...I had no idea about the cooldown with mooncloth. So why do people take tailoring again? At least the enchanting allows me to upgrade any equipment I do have, but the longest I've used anything I've tailored is 1-2 levels (I usually find something that surpasses the item I made by that point). Wouldn't it be better to take a gathering skill like mining or herbalism, sell the stuff you gather in the auction house, then just buy any stuff you need from there (heck, you could probably buy green stuff for around what it would cost in time/effort/money to make your own green items to disenchant)? In fact, so many of the tailoring options use leather (including some of the bag and boot options) that it almost makes more sense to go tailoring/skinning if you really want to use your tailoring. Plus, you would get the extra profit from selling the cloth (and I could use some of it to jack up first aid without worrying about using up tailoring cloth). It seems to make less sense to me to keep the tailoring, considering the raw materials sell better than the items I am making with them. Plus, the skill gets more expensive as you go (2 linens make one bolt of cloth, but it takes 3 wools to make one bolt of wool, 4 silks to make one bolt of silk, etc.). It takes a LOT of material to make one item. I assume they do this because there is no gathering skill involved.
