Magnificent Flying Carpet

Magnificent Flying Carpet is an epic flying mount crafted with the Tailoring profession. This carpet was added in the Wrath of the Lich King expansion (patch 3.0.3) and remains one of the most recognizable profession mounts in the game.

Visually, it's a luxurious woven carpet with rich ornamentation in red and gold tones. The item description reads: "Standard configuration includes a sturdy frame of enchanted Frostweave and genuine Spider's Silk thread. Spare head cushion sold separately." The buff applied on use contains a reference to Disney's "Aladdin" movie.

• One of the flying carpet series — exclusive mounts for tailors
• Striking appearance with a rich color palette — stands out among other flying mounts
• Available to all characters on your account as long as you have at least 1 skill point in Northrend Tailoring
• Relatively easy to obtain — the recipe is learned from a trainer and the materials are easy to acquire
• Counts toward your mount collection and mount-quantity achievements

• A character of level 10 or higher
• The Apprentice Riding skill — for ground travel
• The Expert Riding skill — for flight
• The Tailoring profession with a Northrend Tailoring skill of at least 1 — to use the mount
• A Northrend Tailoring skill of at least 50 — to craft the item

Important: unlike many other crafted mounts, the flying carpets require the Tailoring profession not only to craft them, but also to use them. If you abandon the profession, the mount becomes unavailable until you regain the skill.

The recipe for the Magnificent Flying Carpet is learned from Northrend Tailoring trainers. The most convenient option is Charles Worth, who can be found in the "Especially Good Stuff" shop in Old Dalaran:

The cost to learn the recipe is 2 silver. The recipe can also be learned from other Northrend Tailoring trainers: Darin Goodstitch, Dustin Vale or Raenah.

To create the Magnificent Flying Carpet you will need the following materials:

Material	Quantity	Source
Bolt of Imbued Frostweave	12	Crafting (Tailoring)
Imperial Topaz	4	Mining, Auction House
Red Dye	4	Cloth and dye vendors
Yellow Dye	2	Cloth and dye vendors
Iceweb Spider Silk	4	Spiders in Northrend, Auction House

How to Get Bolts of Imbued Frostweave

Each Bolt of Imbued Frostweave is created from:

• 2 Bolts of Frostweave — each from 5 pieces of Frostweave Cloth
• 2 Infinite Dust — from disenchanting green Northrend items

In total, for 12 bolts of imbued Frostweave you will need 24 Bolts of Frostweave (that is, 120 pieces of Frostweave Cloth) and 24 Infinite Dust.

1. Make sure you have the Tailoring profession. If you haven't learned this profession yet, visit any tailoring trainer in your faction's capital.

2. Level Northrend Tailoring up to 50. To do this, head to Dalaran (Northrend) and learn from a trainer. Craft simple Frostweave items to build up the skill.

3. Learn the recipe from a trainer. Visit Charles Worth in Old Dalaran and learn the recipe for the Magnificent Flying Carpet for 2 silver.

4. Gather the materials. The fastest way is to buy everything from the Auction House. Frostweave Cloth is farmed from humanoids in Northrend zones (The Storm Peaks, Icecrown). Iceweb Spider Silk drops from spiders in Northrend zones. Dyes are sold by cloth-vendor NPCs.

5. Craft the item. Open the profession window, find the recipe "Magnificent Flying Carpet" and click "Create". The item is bound to the character on creation.

6. Use the item. Right-click the item in your inventory to learn the mount. After that, it will appear in your mount collection.
