Tailoring
The tailor is able to make his own clothes and cloth-based armor and items, both for personal use and for sale to others.
What are the best strategies for using and developing the tailoring skill? Which recipes are the most and least useful? What classes are best suited to tailoring? What cities are the best places to practice your trade? Can you make a profit off of tailoring, and if so how?
Post your strategies on how to best use and develop the tailoring skill, and read, rate and comment on those posted by others.
I need to make some weight reduction back packs (Rallic Packs?) What are the ingredients and the trivial for it? Thanks.
The rallic pack isthe resukt of a quest and it is a lore item....for that pack u need the pattern ( that is the quest part of it ) one Perfect Owlbear pelt and i think it is 9 shadeling silks. In Katta Costelium is this cat named Rallic after u zone in from Ten Mtns go straight till u get to castlet then turn right and go in go bout half way land look left should be a halway go down hallway turn left again and he is in one of the doors on your left hail him and play along

Just a warning.
If you're planning on making more than one rallic pack make sure you put the first one in the shared bank before you hit the combine button for the next one. LOL I didn't think about the lore flag and hit the combine button with a rallic pack in my inventory. I lost all the ingredients including the pattern. LOL at myself. Don't let it happen to you.

Greetings,
Check out the www.eqtraders.com website, and have a look in their tailoring recipes section. It details all combinations and trivial levels.
Hope this helps.

I'd hate to sound like a shill for this website but one of the advanced functions available with premium service lets you search tradeskill recipes by minimum or maximum trivials and lists them in order of trivials (there are other search parameters you can enter as well). I found it helpful. I paid 3 bucks to have access for a month and wrote it all down then I lost the list and said to myself it wasn't worth the hassle of writing it all down again to save 3 bucks a month (couldn't print it but then again I am computer illiterate). If you are a kid on an allowance, the 3 bucks may make a difference and you might wanna just sign up for a month from time to time to jot down all the useful info (there's a lot of it) as the site updates new content.

Does anyone know how to get passed 160? It took me years to get there and now I can't pass it. I've made lots of studded acrylia (and gave to all my twinks) but no improves and lots of failures. I even have a gearlock tailor device with 5%. Doesn't seem to be helping me. Is there something out there that will get me passed this point? Without getting myself killed hunting black panthors and getting attacked by everything in the zone. Or them Stonebeasty's while hunting rockhoppers or greyhoppers. Can anyone help me?
Greetings,
I think you may just be having bad luck - it happens sometimes that you'll go a long run of combines without an advance.
Pushing past 158 is not easy - I'm in the hell of acrylia studded too now, and have managed to claw my way to 167. All I can say is keep trying - I went a while without an advance, and then got 2 in 4 attempts.
The only other option, really, is cultural tailoring, depending on your race. That, however, throws up its own difficulties.
By general consensus, tailoring is probably the hardest tradeskill to master. Stick with it and it will eventually provide you with some reward. That's what I keep telling myself anyway! :O)
PS: Since the LoY expansion came out, you could try making Folded Bearskin Potion Bags, as a change from chasing hoppers and tribals. They trivial at 162. Recipe on LoY page at eqtraders.com.
Hope this helps.

Hello,
I just got my skill to 85 and have been lucky enough to make about 10 backbacks with only a few fails. However, 3 of them are no drop. Very strange.... Anyone have any ideas on why this is happening. I used high quality bear pets and they were all in a stack. So, I know there wasn't a weird pelt lurking in my sewing kit. I'm thinking it's a bug or something??? Any ideas would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks!

Because you have NO DROP items inside them.
I feel so dumb. You are absolutely right. I can't believe I couldn't figure that one out..lol Thank you for clearing that up!
Is making and selling leather padding a fairly profitable thing to do. I really want to find a good way to make money and raise my tailoring so I can make that stupid arcylia armour for my monk (its really expensve).
Ok thanks for anyswering my first question but I have another. I know what do you with my HQ and LQ hides but what can I do with the MQ ones, they are cat and bear. Should I skin down the bear to make large bags, or is there something else they can be used for? What can they cat pelts be made into? Also I can't find a large sewing kit for my monk in Freeport, I only have a small one so I can make anything expet for bandages and leather padding. Should I just go to Gfay and get one? Thanks in advane

Greetings,
Leather padding is pretty profitable on my server (Mith Marr), some scalpers attempting to sell them for 40pp EACH! That's a bit steep, but you should be able to get 5-10pp per padding very easily, probably a bit more if you advertise on your server's market channel.
I'm not sure what skill level you're at, Tailoring-wise, but I've actually made more profit from selling Hand Made Backpacks (triv at 88) and Tailored Large Bags (triv at 46(?)). Only highish skill level smiths need padding, but everyone needs luggage to carry their loot in!
There are good guides at eqtraders to get your skill up, if you need them. As far as profit goes, I've probably made most from luggage, but now I can make acrylia studded, that is catching up fast! (1 backpack = 80pp, 1 acrylia studded cloak = 1k pp or more!) If you're willing to keep your stocks of silk and viscous mana up, you can also make a small amount from selling Wu's, but you have to advertise it.

If the price is right there is always pent up demand for leather padding. If you notice that there is precious little Low quality cat/wolf/bear skins for sale on a pretty consistent basis, you can rest assured you can sell padding for more than 5-10 PP. I am still working my way thru fine steel armor (smithing is only at 175) and I check the prices on veeshan pretty regularly and I NEVER see padding for less than 15PP (you can cassionally make a deal if you are buying like 100+ paddings, I got 120 paddings for 1K PP once and I have never been able to get a better deal than that on padding). I, wouldn't skill up on padding, you are effectivley throwing away too much money on a failure. Padding is something you sell when your tailoring is high enough that you won't fail and lose the raw ingredients (low q skins are about 5PP the silks are about 3-5 PP so lets say you get a great deal on silks and your cost basis on padding is 11, if you are at the point where you would make padding for profit, 11 PP probably costs too much for you to use to skill up with).
Noone buys the tailored bags on my server anymore and if they dop its for around 75PP or less. People need the padding to skill up their smithing. Acrylia studded cloaks are the palce to make money in tailoring right now but you can almost see the price dropping on a weekly basis. Pretty soon you will be hard pressed to make money with any tradeskill under 200.

you can use LQ rockhopper hides to make padding for plate armor.
The best part about using LQ rockhopper hides for leather padding is that you can use either shade silk thread made from shadeling silk OR standard thread made from spiderling silk. When LQ animal hides are used (cat, bear, wolf), only the standard thread can be used.
Collecting the shadeling silk is a lot easier to do without thinking too much about it, because lesser shades in Shadeweaver Thicket also drop swirling shadows for shadowscream armor along with their shadeling silks.

What other skills should be practiced to support Tailoring as my main TradeSkill as I move on to higher levels?
Smithy and brewing.
You need to be able to make your own studs and boning. It is easy to get your smithy skill to 70, and that will be ok, but I would suggest getting near 100, even if only for the acrylia and velium studs and boning, because it kinda hurts the pocketbook to fail on those.
Being able to brew your own tempers/curing agents is also a big help. Some of the very high-end combines require tempers/agents that require a significant skill in brewing, but all the training brews are rather simple. Brewing is relatively cheap to train in so I would try to get it to 100, at least. You will be making a lot of heady kiola, if you haven't done that part yet. :)
If you are ever so lucky to get to the 220+ area, and find yourself doing the very high-level combines, you will need more complicated materials, which will require a highly-trained brewer (not so often), jeweler (somewhat often) or smith (quite often). Even without using AA points, you can raise all of these to 200, so if you are a real perfectionist, you can do that. ;)

I've been farming pelts (lion, bear and wolf) for several days in East Karana and East Commonlands, hoping to get a supply of low-quality skins to make leather padding for plate armor. I haven't found even one low-quality skin on any of the mobs or merchants in either of those zones. All I get are ruined, medium and high quality pelts. I bought a few low-quality pelts in the bazaar for 10-15 pp, but the last couple of times i looked there hasn't been any for sale. Is there some place else I should be hunting? Does anyone know of a source to get a quantity of old-world, low-quality skins? No wonder they say tailoring is so hard.
Edited, Mon Dec 23 10:58:28 2002
Forget old world, hunt greyhoppers in shadeweavers, and while there slap around some lesser shades and xarca kel silkworms.
The greyhoppers drop greyhopper hides (which you can use to raise tailoring to 95, so you fail fewer paddings) and low quality rockhopper hides, which you can make paddings with.
The lesser shades and silkworms drop shadeling silks, which can be used with lq rockhopper hides to make paddings, just like the spiderling/old world pelts.
BTW, can also combine rockhopper with spiderling silk threads, but cannot combine shade silk threads with old world pelts.

I believe you can get a skinning knife and combine it with the med qual pelt to lower it one notch in quality. Not 100%, but I'm pretty sure about it.
-Yeyo
-Yeyo
That is exactly how it works -- one Med pelt, one skinning knife ==> one Low pelt and the knife back.
Greetings,
Make yourself (or get a blacksmith friend to make for you) a skinning knife (dagger blade mold, hilt mold, small brick of ore, water - trivial at 41 skill).
Pop any old-world pelt in your sewing kit or loom with your skinning knife and combine - voila! Pelt is degraded by one level. Your knife is always returned, even on a failed combination. Trivial on pelt/knife combo is 15, so you shouldn't see many of those!
So - all those medium quality pelts you've got are one step away from being useful. I'd hold on to the HQ pelts to either sell or use, but carry on and degrade them if you're past the point they're useful.
If you have money to burn, then buy from the Bazaar, but pelt prices there are way over what they are actually worth, most of the time!
Hope this helps.

I was wondering does a loom add a bonus to how well you can make goodies? Cause if it doesnt then it insane! I pray it does cause, i sewing kit is hella cheap and if you can't afford one and they make you walk to a spot to do ya laundry then your a goofy soul. especially if ya need to zone. so bottom line is the any kind of bonus for using these?
Greetings,
As far as I know, there is no bonus given for using looms. However, if you progress tailoring to any great degree, you will have to use looms at one point or another.
Some recipes require more than 8 ingredients (remember, even if the ingredients stack in your backpack, they have to be separated in the loom/kit), so a loom is the only way to make these items (some Wu's combinations spring to mind) unless you have a very rare Deluxe Sewing Kit.

How do i use a loom? I have clicked on the top bar and put items in the sewing box that appears. When I click on "combine" I get a message that they cannot be compined in this box. what am I doing wrong>
I also received that message when i was mistakenly trying to put stacked items into the loom/sewing kit. Make sure that all stackable items are separately put into the loom or sewing kit. Good luck!

you should only get that message when you are combining the wrong materials together.

ok i am thinking of having this being my first trade skill waht should i do can some one get me started?
Greetings,
If you scroll down a bit, there are some links there to the eqtraders guides to getting going.
Tailoring isn't too complicated to start with - kill spiders, spiderlings, cats, wolves and bears and save the silks and skins they drop.
Sew the silks into swatches and threads, save the skins and buy armour patterns when you can afford them - turn your Ruined pelts into Patchwork armour and sell it back to the vendor. Save your threads and swatches, you'll be using them later!
That's about all there is to getting going in tailoring - you can buy yourself a sewing kit (large is better), or save your supplies and have a big skill session at one of the looms you'll find in all starting towns.
For more info on getting started, recipes, supply locations and other tradeskill info, take a look at www.eqtraders.com - the tradeskiller's Bible!

Does anyone know where I can get a "fleeting quiver pattern," and "aviak egg oil"?
Greetings,
Take a look at this link to find out where the patterns are sold:
http://www.eqtraders.com/location/tailoring.htm
Had a quick look, looks like Luclin or Oggok, strangely enough!
Aviak egg oil is made by combining an aviak egg (go figure!) and a water flask in a brew barrel (trivial at 102 brewing). Eggs can be foraged in Butcherblock, and (I assume) are dropped by the aviaks around South Karana.
Hope this helps!

Thanks again, Kelanthor. You are the Master Tailor of this discussion board! Hehe,
Thanks! I am a Master at all the tradeskills I practice (Baking 142, Brewing 188, Blacksmithing 175, Pottery 121, Tailoring 158) and aiming for GM status in Tailoring. Got a long way to go, and I'm up against the 'wall' after Wu's now - levelling a bit to get up to the level required to farm acrylia, and might spend time hunting sabertooths in Kunark as I'm a Wood Elf. And I thought getting to 158 was difficult.... :O(
Glad to help out here anytime, or look for me in Norrath on the Mithaniel Marr server.
Happy sewing!

One quick update, I found the pattern for Quiver, Fleeting Quiver, and Backpack in the Bazaar (the room in the middle), sold by Dolsoj Warrebs (-602, -19). Right now I'm at 98 in Tailoring, and have been farming HQ cat pelts in East Karana to make quivers (trivial 115), after that, I have to level too. Thanks again Kelanthor, I wish we were on the same server.

I need to degrade coyote pelts. What container do I use? Thanks in advance.
Greetings,
Any old-world pelt that has a rating (med, high, etc) can be downgraded by combining it with a skinning knife (made using smithing skill) in a sewing kit or loom. Each combination downgrades it one level. This works on cat, wolf and bear pelts to my knowledge (hopper as well, I think). Not sure about others, as I haven't tried them.

Thanks for your response.
I found a "Low Quality" cat pelt that I was able to degrade to "Ruined" by combining the pelt and skining knife in my sewing kit.
Unfortunately, this didn't work on a "Coyote Pelt" which is what I really wanted to degrade to "Ruined" status. (I get the "Can't combine..." message.)
If anyone knows where I can find "Ruined Coyote" pelts I would be most appreciative. Thanks again.

Greetings again,
Don't know if you still need help with this - I was passing through GFaydark today and found a dead coyote. It's been a long time since I've been there, and didn't recall seeing any coyotes in my younger days. On investigation, it was carrying a Ruined Coyote Skin. I have also seen coyotes in N Ro, although I couldn't say whether they drop the same items.

There are Ruined, Low Quality, Medium Quality, High Quality, and other superlatives for most of the pelts, skins and hides (I understand them to all be synonymous) that drop in the game. My questions is about the pelts that don't have a grade name on them. All of recipes that I've seen call for one grade or another. So what do I do with the pelts that are merely "A Brute Hide," or whatever the animal might be. Does anyone know? Maybe I should just sell them to a merchant or vendor?
Greetings,
For a virtually complete list of the pelts that drop in Norrath and the uses they can be put to, check this link:
http://www.eqtraders.com/location/find_pelts.htm
Brute hides are used for halfling cultural armour, and most 'old-world' pelts can be used for making poison vials, if nothing else.
Always worth putting them up for sale on your server's market or auction chat channel, you might make a few PP!

Wow, Kelanthor, how did I miss this page on EQ Traders? Thanks a lot. It's great. 6 posts
I continue to be simply amazed at the low-level characters on EQ that try to sell HQ pelts for anywhere from 45 to 90pp for one pelt!! I can understand paying that price if you are in a hurry to make something with your tailoring skill and have more pp than you know what to do with - but all it takes is a little patience to get a stack of HQ pelts for yourself... I have (many a -time) spent 45 min to an hour in West and East Commons or West Karana and collected anywhere from 6 to 20 HQ pelts. Of course, this is for higher-level characters that can kill the bears and cats quickly and possibly use a pet to kill one while you are killing one... very simple - just takes some patience...
so why the high prices on HQ pelts???
so why the high prices on HQ pelts???
Greetings,
Pre-Bazaar days, on Mith Marr server, HQ bear pelts used to go for 35 - 40pp. HQ cat for about 5pp. Prices have dropped a little, but there are always folk looking to price themselves out of the market!
HQ bear and rockhopper skins are valuable as they can be used to make 10-slot, 10% weight reducing backpacks, which you can sell (Mith Marr prices again) for about 80pp upwards. HQ cat are slightly valuable, as they can be used to make tailored quivers. No great shakes there, but these are a recognised route of advancement for tailors to get to skill level 115, so they do sell.
You'll find most of the sellers are relatively low level, and most of the buyers a bit higher. I buy in HQ bear and hopper skins for my backpack business, but with the Bazaar up now, rarely pay more than 30pp per skin.
The Bazaar has brought a touch of economics to Norrath - if you're buying, there's probably someone selling the item you want! While you can farm the pelts, at anything below very high levels, this is time-consuming and boring, and some folk just prefer to buy in supplies out of their profits.
Hope this helps!
Pre-Bazaar days, on Mith Marr server, HQ bear pelts used to go for 35 - 40pp. HQ cat for about 5pp. Prices have dropped a little, but there are always folk looking to price themselves out of the market!
HQ bear and rockhopper skins are valuable as they can be used to make 10-slot, 10% weight reducing backpacks, which you can sell (Mith Marr prices again) for about 80pp upwards. HQ cat are slightly valuable, as they can be used to make tailored quivers.

I have a tailoring skill of 82.. I would LOVE to avoid making Wu's armor as I don't have the mula to pay 10pp per vial of vicious mana =\ Sooo my question.. what do I do now (that won't hurt my pocket book so badly) I'm a level 36 druid so I can track n' smack MoB's that drop pelts. I saw on Eqtraders I can do Greyhopper Pants till 95 but it calls for a Greyhopper Hide.. I hunted greyhoppers in marsus Seru but have never seen just a hide, seen damaged, ect. Is there JUST a plain ole Greyhopper Hide out there?

greyhopper hides do drop in MS from the grey hopper have about a half stack of them on my monk for my alt who tailors. seems to be a fairly rare drop but have had good luck my monk can take most fairly quickly if you have a healer which should not be a prob for you just get a tank and have him help out or do a root dot dot and wait
Hi there,
Being an elfie Druid, I spent all my time at that tailoring level in the old world. If you take a trip down to the Karanas or Commons, find some lions, or cats of any sort, and start slaughtering. You can make tailored quivers from HQ cat pelts and a quiver pattern, which will take you to 115 skill. Also, if you fancy killing bears, you can use the HQ bear skins to make weight-reducing backpacks and perhaps offset some of the cost of the quiver patterns (about 1pp each).
Maybe someone else will be able to give you some pointers for advancing through hunting on Luclin!
Hope this helps.

Hi there,
Take a look at this link I found on eqtraders.com tailoring message board:
http://pub126.ezboard.com/feqtraderscornertailoring.showMessage?topicID=3981.topic
I've not gone through the whole thing, but there appears to be a couple of Vah Shir items in there.
Hope this helps!

Go to halas with your Tailoring Kit.
Find Daron who is near the Bank Building (around left side) and buy 200 MANDRAKE ROOT (approx 2pp and some change each) and combine 2 (SEPERATED) in Tailoring Kit.
do this till trival (trival at 66).
if u can find BON ING you can combine the resuts from above and get a food item (10 items). Do this till trival (trival at 76).
Although expensive it is worth it as it took me an hour to get to 66 for a skill of 1. Time is very quick for getting to 66.
Please let me know if u find BONING.

After you reach a point in your tradeskills, you have to learn them the hard way. The easiest way to improve tailoring as a Val Shir is to get the Shade Silk and make swatches, then combine them with the patterns (you can get those in ST from the vendor on the right) to make Shade Silk armor. I got to 28 that way. PS that armor weighs only .4, so it is good for your monks too. : )

Well you can only train the skill to a certain lvl, then you have to work your way up. So get some material and start working.
I've played EQ since the begining, over many servers/races/classes. I had lost intrest with tradeskills untill recently, with the 8th prayer shawl quest, PoTC quest, and all the new goodies to make. I decided to start my venture with tailoring as I am a druid and my racial armor is of leather oragins. Where should I start, or where can I find good information about raising this skill and aquireing materials?
Any help is appreciated.

Greetings,
Have a look here for guides to getting started on all tradeskills:
http://www.eqtraders.com/learn.htm
Note that some are out of date, but I believe the tailoring ones are still valid.
Getting materials to get going at your level will be a walk in the park! (although boring, I predict...) The guides will tell you more, although it will involve hunting lots of low-level animals and spiders. East and West Commons are very good for pelts, East Karana (crag spiders) for silks. There are lions of various sorts, plus wolves in EK, so that might be a good place to start - I'm sure others will jump in with their favourite hunting places!
Hope this helps.

i want a skinning knife but ive been looking everywhere for the stupid hilt and dagger blade mold does anyone know where to get it?
Greetings,
Hilt molds did go missing for a while, but were returned in May or June's patch. Have a look here for a list of vendors that supply them:
http://www.eqtraders.com/location/smithing.htm
I don't know where your tradeskill base is, but if it's Freeport, then Jenna Smith is the vendor you're after - upstairs in Gord's Smithy, East Freeport.
Hope this helps.

I found either hilt or dagger mold in Butcherblock at a merchant just outside the dwarf city; I think the merchant's name was Rucksack or something like that. I found the other piece inside the Dwarf city in North, is it Kaladim?, upstairs at the Iron Forge place. I know this is a little vague, but I hope it helps. Oh, and I'm on Solusek Ro.
Does anyone know how to make,buy or better yet find this item. I would appreciate any info. Thanks

Kill spiders in ec, I see them there all the time while farming silks. Or just loot them off the rotting spider corpses. Most people don't bother with them, since they sell for about 1 gold and change, and are only good for newbie armor quests.
