Tailor toys in 2.4

Tailors rejoice! All of that Spellcloth and Primal Mooncloth you've been sitting on isn't going to go to waste! Well, maybe. Shadowcloth, nobody likes you and you smell. Please go away. ...Just kidding!Tailors are going to get two different sets, Sunfire and Eternal Light, each consisting of a robe and a pair of gloves. The former is a DPS set, and the latter is a healing set, naturally. They're loaded up with red sockets, and the socket bonuses are a pretty clear cut boost with no need to dance around to get them. The gloves of both sets require Sunmotes, so keep in mind that you probably won't be able to make these right away. The Sunmotes are likely drops inside of the Sunwell instances, potentially the raid zone. We can hope otherwise though, right? Luckily, the Sunmotes seem to be the only especially rare material required. The rest is just fairly mundane primals and cloth.
It is a bit strange that there is no new Shadowcloth set, but it's possible we simply haven't seen it yet. I have my doubts Primal Mooncloth and Spellcloth specced tailors would be the only ones recieving anything new in this patch. Sure, the pieces aren't tied to those specific specs, but Shadowcloth tailors want to put their transmute to good use, too!

No way is that just from Magisters terrace, normal or heroic.

prob the tailoring stuff equal to what we had in SSC with the blasting set. happened in BT as well iirc

They could be faction related or drop from the 25-man also.

That was my point. These are going to be primarily Sunwell raiders, and people who are rich enough to buy the BOE pieces.

I hope that the Shadoweave set just ain't been discovered yet, because that's my Tailor specc XD
(PS: could someone at Blizzard change the Frozen Shadoweave set bonus for 2% of damage turned to MANA instead of health? Many of us would be much happier ;)

The robes look like an upgrade to Spellfire set, better stats and similar dmg. I wonder if the Sunfire spell haste will be better than the loss of the Spellfire set bonus.
I'm waiting on a shadowcloth set now the article has mentioned it!
In any case, if there is none, the Sunfire does not have a restriction on it, and would just take longer to make.
There is one frost advantage, though, Sunfire only clashes with 1 part of the FSW set, instead of 2 parts of the Spellfire set .. (and the FSW set bonus is no great loss!)

At this point, I'm kinda of glad to be sitting on 30 pieces of Spellcloth in the bank.
Hope I don't regret popping out two 20-slot bags for myself yesterday though.

By the looks of it, the patterns (BoE) drop from the 25 man instance. The end products are BoP.
This obviously means if you're not gonna be raiding Sunwell, you'll have to wait until your server's raiding guilds have, and have a spare pattern to sell (along with sun motes).

The Sunfire Robe does not require any sunmotes (according to the pic above), nor does it show any requirement about what spec of tailoring you need to be to wear it.
As a shadow priest, the base 71 spell damage, with 3 red sockets make it a significant upgrade for to the FSW Robe. I certainly don't mind the 40 spell crit either and the spell haste is a very nice perk, considering it's going to lower the GCD. Time to start farming spellcloth =P

For anyone checking this at a later date, the mats requirements for these items have been changed. (The Sunfire set now requires equal amounts of spellcloth and shadowcloth and no primals, for instance.) Check Wowhead for the latest.

Actually, i do hope the sunmotes drop off the magister terrace. The raids them selves usually get enough good drops. And the way the spellcloth set and fsw sets are set it would make more sense to make these drop off regular and heroic instances than a raid. You don't need to raid to make fsw, scs,pmset, but having these sets makes it easier to do so.
