Got one in a Gm event because the GM had bad aim and gave someone elses spider fur cloak to me that was not rightfully mine so i cancelled trade and told her. She said "I am honored to be in the presence of someone with morals as yours, Here goramm take this" and TADA she handed me this badboy. It was really a chanter item so i sold it for 15k
LOL, not only does he take a gift and sell it off he sells it for a few times what it is actually worth. Don't know whether I should tell him he would be a good salesman or that he needs to have a little more pride. :P
There are Ice Burrower Silk items, and now these Ice Silk items start showing up, whats the deal here? This cloak has a similarity to the Ice Burrower one, but they are not the same.
There is no recipie for these things on eqtraders, so I don't think denmother did this as some claim, because then she would have put info on this on the webpage.
I do know though that she send in the iceburrower things...
Having 149 skill at the moment and planning on taking tailoring above 200. I would never attempt this recipe myself to improve skill, although I would attempt it for someone else telling them straight up before hand that if I fail I don't want to hear any complaining. Velious armor is very very nice but they made it way to hard to work on tailoring.

According to messages by Denmother and N'Greth (Denmother's IRL husband) on the EQ Traders Corner EZBoard, they are having trouble contacting their ISP to find out what's going on... they definitely aren't taking the Lum the Mad option.
This is not "uncommon", it is VERY VERY rare. It requres 3 swatches of Ice Burrower Silk, each requiring 2 silks off a level 60+ mob in in WW. And it requires a vial of mana that consumes 4 rubies. AND it never goes trivial, so the chances of making it even if you got the materials is dreadfully low.

This probably wouldn't be one of the things you'd make for profit.
Remember, the fail rate on velious tailored stuff is insane. At 160ish skill -- where you can no longer raise skill with cheap recipies like Wu's -- you have a 3-5% success rate. Supposedly, it increases to 5-10% or better around 200 skill, but that takes an incredible amount of work...
Think about how much it would cost, on average, to make one of these with a 5% success rate (optimistic, for most)...that's 20 combines -- 80 rubies, 120 ice burrower silks. The rubies themselves, IIRC gem prices, would cost over 10k.
Would this cloak sell for an amount justifying that much cost and effort? I don't know for certain...would probably depend on how much value is placed on charisma. Few casters that would pay several kpp for an item have trouble reaching 200 int.
10k to make is easy. Now selling for the 20k its worth on the other hand... now THAT is the challenge.
Reasoning behind the 20k. White Dragon Scale armor ... goes for 30kish, depending on the server.... okay, this don't have the cold save, but it is definately close on int, being only one less. 20k.
I think it would be insame to attempt to make this without a skill of 250 (or very close). If you're lower than this, the amount of money you'd lose to failures could easily be used to find a tailor with 250 skill (or help you work on yours).
