Tailoring has to be the easiest and cheapest "Craft Skill" to GM. I was able to buy Tailoring to 32 Real Skill at the Tailor Shop in Ocllo. Sewing Kits Used- 125-150 GM Tinkered Kits were used, you will need many more if you buy them from the NPC. 26,100 Cloth all gathered and spun as I gained from the cotton fields in Ocllo. ( I parked my tailor in the Shop and used my second Acct to run back and forth picking Cotton and spinning it. I dropped extra in the Bank for times I was competing for Cotton ) 1460 Horned Leather was used because I have a crap-load of Horned from Fishing! 0-32 Skill Bought 41.9(shown)/32.9(real) Start 41.9/32.9 - Short Pants - 49.8/41.3 - 2000 Cloth (you can use "Skirts" to bridge Short Pants to Fancy Dresses, I didn't need to, Short Pants gained well for me.) 49.8/41.3 - Fancy Dress - 51.8/43.7 - 1000 Cloth 51.8/43.7 - Cloaks - 57.9/50.8 - 3000 Cloth 57.9/50.8 - Robes - 74.6/70.3 - 13,100 Cloth 74.6/70.3 - Oil Cloths - 99.4/99.4 - 7000 Cloth 99.4- Gorgets/Gloves -100- 1460 Leather Make Last Macro Used- Code Below Code: copy/paste How To- http://uorforum.com/threads/how-to-copy-and-paste-a-razor-macro.868/ Code: !Loop Assistant.Macros.DoubleClickTypeAction|3997|True Assistant.Macros.WaitForGumpAction|949095101|False|5 Assistant.Macros.GumpResponseAction|21|0|0 Assistant.Macros.WaitForGumpAction|949095101|False|5 Assistant.Macros.PauseAction|00:00:00.5000000 Assistant.Macros.DoubleClickTypeAction|3999|True Assistant.Macros.WaitForTargetAction|3 Assistant.Macros.TargetTypeAction|False|5084 Assistant.Macros.PauseAction|00:00:02 Happy Tailoring!
What is up with my skill gain? Its taken 7,000 yards of cloth to go from 33 to 45. No I'm not at skill cap. Am I missing something?
Always base items on adjusted/displayed skill and never show real for tailoring and I assume all crafting. In the tailoring description on main site the guide says use show real, that's wrong. If you do adjusted skill it works.
@jihad joe are you cutting what you create to salvage some of the cloth you use? That last round you did from 45 (real or shown?) to 52 (real or shown)... what were you crafting? Also, for some free skill points (I suggest doing this in the 30's or as high as 50.0 (starting) real. You didn't respond to the advice of real vs shown skill so, just to be sure... the skill numbers you're reporting are those real or shown? at 20 dex my shown skill is 53 although my "real" skill is 50. due to my character's dexterity I receive a bonus of 3 points of skill. However, were I to do some "dexterity training"... *wink* As you can see, by maxing my dexterity I received over 10 free points of skill due to my dexterity. As I raise in skill, the bonus becomes smaller and smaller. In the 90's with most skills you get no bonus at all.
The skills I reported were real. How does a higher shown benefit more skill gain over real? To confirm: I am cutting and reusing cloth and following this guide to a T. After 15,000 yards of cloth I gained to 57.6/61 real/shown from NPC trained 33's. I just started here and seen everyone having success of ~15k cloth to get high 99's tailoring. This is the only reason why I'm confused as to why I'm so special. I looked forward to working Blacksmithing too, but if it takes any resemblance of my gains in tailoring I better find good macro and a time machine. >.< Thanks for the support, and I don't mean to high jack the thread, but maybe someone can find some use and resolve from our discussions.
are you making the right clothing for your shown skill level? 0-32 Skill Bought 41.9(shown)/32.9(real) Start 49.8/41.3 Short Pants 2000 Cloth (you can use "Skirts" to bridge Short Pants to Fancy Dresses, I didn't need to, Short Pants gained well for me.) 51.8/43.7 Fancy Dress 1000 Cloth 57.9/50.8 Cloaks 3000 Cloth 74.6/70.3 Robes 13,100 Cloth 99.4/99.4 Oil Cloths 7000 Cloth 100 Gorgets/Gloves 1460 Leather @jihad joe
Yeah. Earlier, I went out and gathered 2300 cloth and while making cloaks, went from 61.0 to 63.4 shown. I don't understand the problems I'm having.
Just thought I'd mention that I find my gains to be greater in any skill when I use them in a zone that is not very populated. ie. Magincia, Nujelm, etc. I don't know why that is but it seems to be true here and was also true when I used to play in the Origin servers. Soooo, when I tailor, smith, tinker etc. I go do it in areas like that.
After 30k of cloth, I finally made it to where I could make oil cloths. 5k cloth later, I'm at 99.5. Woohoo! Talk about a grind. Thanks for the help guys, maybe my next tailor won't be such a pain in the ass.
I'm currently using this guide but am having some trouble with it. When the following is written 41.9(shown)/32.9(real) Start This gives me the impression that you will continue with this format throughout the rest of the guide (Listing shown vs real skill). However, when I came across: 51.8/43.7 Fancy Dress 1000 Cloth It's incorrect because 43.7 real != 51.8 shown. I don't recall the exact number since I'm in the 60s now but shown was was much closer to 43.7 than 51.8.
Just a suggestion.... when you are able to make oil cloths, (i believe 1 cloth each and you can make them at 74ish (shown) you should make those instead of robes until you don't gain anymore from them. It should take you to high 80's low 90's and you save a lot of cloth that way. True you cant recycle the oil cloths. However, I cut them into bandages and threw them on my vendor and they actually sold. Just a thought
Take gain is (i think) correlate with percentages success chances, no ? At 83 real skill i have 70.5 success chance for oil cloth (1 cloth )and 100 % 51.9 % except. for Robe (16 cloths) maybe It is better to make this road from 83 to 99 with oil cloth or does gains come from exceptional % ?
I'm really struggling with this one. Started a character with 50 tailoring. Burned through 4000 yards of cloth over an hour and a half (give or take for macro adjustments) making the fancy dresses as this guide suggests and I'm only at 56.00 SHOWN 52.7 REAL. Character has 31 Dexterity. Any pointers/advice? Thanks in advance, Sheep. (Edited to add: In the same time it's taken me to go from 50.00 to 52.7 in tailoring I've gone from 91.4 to 96.1 in Margery - hence the assumption that I'm doing something wrong!)
hmm.. I think you might misread the article. you should make something 'till' your skill reached at certain points. so, you should have made cloaks. and this guide is super legit! most of my friends followed this guide till gm, no one failed
For example, 57.9/50.8 Cloaks 3000 Cloth = Make cloaks till your skill reaches 57.9/50.8. So.. the answer is you should make robes till your skill reches 74.6/70.3.
