Tabard Studio

🛡️ A better tabard editor for every version of World of Warcraft: Retail (Midnight), Classic (Classic Era, TBC Anniversary, Mists of Pandaria Classic, Titan) and WoW Forever, with design codes that work in all of them.

🧭 Introduction

Tabard Studio replaces the tabard vendor's little arrow buttons with one clear window: every emblem, every color and every border at once. Click what you like and your character wears it right away.

Every design has a short design code like TS1:43.6.4.13.28. All versions of WoW use exactly the same emblems, colors and borders, so a code gives the same tabard everywhere: copy it in Retail and paste it in Classic or Forever, or the other way around. Share it with your guild master, or take your guild's look to a new version of the game.

✨ Features

• 🎨 All 196 emblems on one screen, drawn in your own colors on your background, so you see what you'll get before you click
• 🖌️ One-click colors: the emblem and border colors in a row each, and all 51 background colors in a palette (15 hues in light, medium and dark, plus the greys)
• 🧵 Border styles shown as little tabards, using the game's own tabard textures in your colors
• 🖼️ A picture of your tabard next to the 3D model that always shows every part, the border included (even when the model is turned away)
• 👀 Hover to preview: point at anything and your character tries it on, move away and it's back as it was
• ↩️ Undo, redo, reset and random
• 🔗 Share codes that work in every version of WoW, with a Copy button that tells you when the code is copied and a Paste button that loads a code the moment you paste it
• 💾 Saved designs, shared by all your characters, with your guild's current tabard always one click away
• ✏️ Design anywhere with /tabard, then visit a tabard vendor to buy it
• 🧩 The game's own editor is always one click away (Blizzard editor), and it works with guild and personal tabards

🚀 How to Use

1. Download the addon. If you're not using an addon manager, place the TabardStudio folder in the Interface/AddOns folder of the version you play, for example World of Warcraft/_retail_/Interface/AddOns, _classic_, _classic_era_, _anniversary_ or _forever_.
2. Talk to a guild tabard vendor in a capital city. Tabard Studio opens instead of the old editor.
3. Click an emblem, colors and a border. Your character shows it right away.
4. Press Accept to buy the design (only the guild master can buy a guild tabard, but everyone can design and share codes).

🔗 Moving a Design to Another Version of WoW

Everything is in the Share this design panel on the right of the window.

1. Copy code: Tabard Studio selects the code and asks you to press Ctrl+C. When you do, it says Copied!
2. Log in to the other version of WoW and open Tabard Studio (/tabard, or at a tabard vendor).
3. Paste code, then press Ctrl+V. The design loads at once (Undo takes it back).
4. Give it a name and press Save to keep it in My designs.

You can also click straight into the code box and press Ctrl+C or Ctrl+V. A pasted chat line works too: Tabard Studio finds the code in it.

A code is the design's five numbers, TS1:emblem.emblem color.border.border color.background, optionally followed by :Name. The numbers match the ones Tabard Studio shows next to each heading.
