======================================================================== Tailoring, although fun at time, causes a great deal of frustration to many a trade skill player. For armor types that have the same trivial level for all items you will want to use the cheapest pattern to make an item that uses the least material. For armor types that have varying trivial levels throughout you will want to find how to advance your skill while using the least number of swatches, pelts, studs or bonings before having to change patterns in order to go further. ----TAA----------------------------------------------------------------- 015 Silk Swatches 026 Patchwork Armor 031 Leather Padding (start in 50's and keep these) 036 Raw Silk Armor 056 Studded Leather Armor (skip this, use for padding) 066 Woven Mandrake (spendy but quick) 076 Picnic Basket (yield 10, for Misty Thicket Picnic) 082 Cured Armor 088 Handmade Backpack 095 Greyhopper Armor (can start here in Marus Seru (Level?)) 115 Tailored Quiver 131 Crystalline Silk Armor (velious silk, basically for skill) 158 Wu's Fighting Armor (Requires Viscous Mana (ENC-11)) 188 Acrylia Studded Armor 242 Acrylia Reinforced Armor ======================================================================== 015 Silk Swatches or Silk Threads 2 spider silks 2 spiderling silks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 026 Patchwork (Tattered) Armor ruined wolf/cat/bear pelt pattern ---------------------------------------------------------------- 031 Leather Padding (bottleneck for many smiths) low quality wolf/cat/bear/rockhopper pelt silk thread ---------------------------------------------------------------- 036 Raw Silk Armor silk swatch pattern ---------------------------------------------------------------- 056 Studded Leather Armor medium quality wolf/cat/bear/rockhopper pelt pattern metal studs (smithing, 35) 3 metal bits file water flask ---------------------------------------------------------------- 066 Woven Mandrake 2 mandrake root (alchemy supplies) ---------------------------------------------------------------- 076 Picnic Basket (yield 10) woven mandrake metal boning (smithing, 37) small brick of ore file water flask ---------------------------------------------------------------- 082 Cured Armor silk swatch mask pattern heady kiola (brewing, 46) 2 packets of kiola sap bottle water flask ---------------------------------------------------------------- 088 Handmade Backpack high quality bear or rockhopper pelt backpack pattern ---------------------------------------------------------------- 095 Greyhopper Armor greyhopper hide pattern trivial 1 belt, cape, gloves, 88 gorget, hood, mask, shoulder, sleeves, wrist 1 boots 95 2 leggings, tunic 95 ---------------------------------------------------------------- 115 Tailored Quiver high quality cat pelt quiver pattern ======================================================================== 15 Crystalline Silk Swatch 2 crystalline silks (spiders in CC & VL) 131 Crystalline Silk Armor silver thread, pattern, 1-3 crystalline silk swatches silk pattern trivial Silver Thread 1 collar 102 mask, wrist 108 cap 115 mantle 118 " 2 sash 102 slippers 115 gloves, sleeves 124 " 3 cloak 108 pant 128 shirt 131 ======================================================================== Heady Kiola (brewing, 46) 2 packets of kiola sap water flask bottle Vial of Viscous Mana (ENC-11) Poison Vial (regular) Pearl ---------------------------------------------------------------- 158 Wu's Fighting Armor Gloves are an older recipe and also need a Greater Lightstone silk pattern trivial 4 Heady Kiola 1 gloves + GLS 88 Vial of Viscous Mana gorget 128 bracer 135 mask 135 cap 142 shoulder 144 " 2 belt 138 boots 142 sleeves 151 " 3 cloak 135 pants 155 tunic 158 ======================================================================== File (smithed, 12) metal bits file mold water flask ------------------------ BREAKING DOWN ORE (forge, trivial 31) smithing chisel and a piece of ore larger than you want placed in a forge will return the chisel and reduce the size of the ore by one order. chisel + block --> chisel + 1 large brick chisel + large brick --> chisel + 1 small brick chisel + small brick --> chisel + 2 small pieces ------------------------ BUILDING UP ORE (forge, trivial 31) water flask and three pieces of ore smaller than you want placed in a forge will return ore to you one size larger in order.
