Flying Carpet

Flying Carpet is a flying mount crafted by tailors in World of Warcraft. Carpets first appeared in the Wrath of the Lich King expansion (patch 3.0.2) and have remained one of the most recognizable profession-based modes of transport in the game ever since. A simple woven carpet hovers in the air, carrying your character above the ground — a minimalist yet stylish way to fly, available exclusively to tailors.

The mount is tied to the profession: to use the Flying Carpet, your character must have Tailoring learned. If you abandon the profession, the carpet disappears from your list of available mounts until you take up Tailoring again.

• Profession exclusivity — flying carpets are available only to tailors. This sets you apart from other players and highlights your chosen specialization
• Easy to obtain — crafting it only requires the starting level of Northrend Tailoring. All materials are easy to buy at the auction house or gather yourself
• The start of a carpet collection — the basic Flying Carpet opens the way to a whole family of flying carpets: Magnificent Flying Carpet, Frosty Flying Carpet, Creeping Carpet and others
• Scalable speed — the carpet's speed depends on your riding skill: +60%/+100% on the ground and +150%/+280%/+310% in the air
• Account-wide — once learned, the mount appears in your collection and can be used by any character who has Tailoring

Please note: crafting specifically requires the "Northrend Tailoring" section, while using requires any level of Tailoring on the character.

Step 1: Learn Northrend Tailoring

If your character does not yet have the "Northrend Tailoring" section, visit a Tailoring trainer in Northrend. The main trainer is Charles Worth in Dalaran (Northrend). He can be found in the "Talismanic Textiles" shop on the Magus Commerce Exchange.

Other Northrend trainers:

• Darin Goodstitch — Borean Tundra, Valgarde
• Alexandra McQueen — Howling Fjord

Learning the "Northrend Tailoring" section costs only 10 copper.

Step 2: Learn the Recipe

The recipe for the Flying Carpet (the spell Flying Carpet) is learned from the same Northrend Tailoring trainer. No additional requirements beyond having the "Northrend Tailoring" section are needed.

Step 3: Gather the Materials

Crafting requires the following components:

Where to get the materials:

• Bolt of Imbued Frostweave is crafted from 2 bolts of frostweave and 2 units of infinite dust. For 6 bolts of imbued frostweave you will need 12 bolts of regular frostweave (60 units of frostweave cloth) and 12 units of infinite dust
• Iceweb Spider Silk drops from spiders in Northrend — Web Trappers in Nagrand (Northrend), Crystalweb Weavers in the Caverns of Time and others. It is usually sold at an affordable price at the auction house
• Green Dye and Heavy Silken Thread are sold by cloth and tailoring supply vendors in any major city

Step 4: Craft the Mount

Open the "Northrend Tailoring" profession window, find the "Flying Carpet" recipe and click "Create". The process takes 20 seconds. Once finished, a Flying Carpet will appear in your inventory — right-click it to add the mount to your collection.

Tailoring unlocks access to a whole family of carpets. If you enjoy the aesthetic of carpet flight, here is the complete list of variants:

All carpets require Tailoring to be used.
