Super noob question here: how do we upgrade from crafted 640 stage 1 items to level 2? My main isn't a tailor, and I got a crafted 640 chest, which I would want to upgrade. So what do I do now? I do have a Tailor Emporium, which I used to reroll the (horrible) stats. What now?
No idea if you can make it with the tailoring building or if you actually need the profession (only have tailoring building on an alt with the profession.)
edit: looks like you do actually need the profession to make that item. so, time to hit up the AH.
As far as I know you have to buy the item that lets you upgrade. Not sure the name of the Tailor one though. I know on my AH there arent any for LW since the pattern costs 5 dailies to buy, and are somewhat expensive to make.
You have to be a tailor to make the item, building only gets you the 640s. You can buy the upgrade item off a tailor though, but they will most likely charge a pretty steep amount given the mats required.
