I went ahead and power...OK, here's the answer.<br /><br />I went ahead and power-leveled Tailoring to 425. (It was surprisingly cheap and easy, but look at more than one leveling guide, some of them have you do silly things.)<br /><br />I trained all three carpets, then (gulp) unlearned Tailoring.<br /><br />I still have them in my stable, still have the credit for them in the Mounts achievement, but cannot fly them. (In the mount description there is a requirement for Tailoring level, kind of like the Battle Tank requirement.)<br /><br />So I got the dings for the achievement but nothing else. Oh well, I've done way more expensive things in this game :)<br /><br />Anyway, there it is. The carpet movement makes me seasick anyway...Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04448658539112543888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-98202484097177760.post-91696956045076427542010-08-12T14:59:43.116-04:002010-08-12T14:59:43.116-04:00Thanks for the response.

I...Thanks for the response. I hope it is so...<br /><br />I'm pretty committed to doing Loremaster before Cata (maybe I should BE committed, but that's another story...) and so I'm going to wind up with a lot of cloth en route. I think I'll go ahead and start leveling tailoring now and try it out. <br /><br />I will let you know here as soon as I find anything out.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04448658539112543888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-98202484097177760.post-36237850675601623832010-08-12T14:30:50.268-04:002010-08-12T14:30:50.268-04:00If the mounts work like pets (and I'm 99% sure...If the mounts work like pets (and I'm 99% sure they will), you keep the mounts you train even if you lose the profession. With pets, you can even <i>use</i> them without the professions, but I haven't tested the mounts.<br /><br />I myself have been stockpiling cloth to power-level tailoring on Birdfall in Cataclysm for the mounts and then drop it. I'm only 70% sure you'll be able to <i>use </i>the mounts once you've learned them, even without the profession, because that's how it worked with the BOP engineering pets when I had them on Dusty (before they became BOU).<br /><br />If you want to wait until I do this on Birdfall, feel free. I'm going to do it once Cataclysm endgame cloth prices drop.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07275637177494490776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-98202484097177760.post-89079485170906461672010-08-12T02:05:08.266-04:002010-08-12T02:05:08.266-04:00Question:

It seems like it will but I wanted to make sure.<br /><br />I'm going to lose gem-cutter in favor of engineering (for Cataclysmic reasons) but I figure as long as I'm going to zero out a skill I might as well run through tailoring if it will get me three mounts. <br /><br />thanks for your blog it makes me smile!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04448658539112543888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-98202484097177760.post-17013406890958831002010-04-25T11:39:59.662-04:002010-04-25T11:39:59.662-04:00How do you call these "solo?"
