"To weave the cloth is to weave all. For we are all threads, threads in a borderless tapestry embroidered with pain, joy, loss, and hope."

--Zyakia, Master Tailor of Pandaemonium

Tailoring--a combination of weaving, sewing, tanning, embroidery and other fabric arts--manufactures more than mere garments. At first, a novice Tailor will struggle with needle and thread, crafting simple bandages, shoes, and bags. But eventually the eye becomes more discerning and the fingers more nimble, and the Master Tailor creates robes of wondrous power and garments that practically exude Aether itself. A competent Tailor works both in cloth and leather, so Mages and Scouts alike find the Tailor’s creations useful.

To become a tailor, pay Daphnis (in Sanctum) or Zyakia (in Pandaemonium) 3,500 Kinah for the skill. The price varies slightly depending on the current influence ratio. Once you’ve done so, you’ll see a Tailoring experience bar in the Crafting tab of your Skills window, and you start with 1 Expertise Point out of 99 possible. Each time your experience bar fills up, you gain another Expertise Point until you’ve hit your current maximum. More Expertise Points mean better recipes--and eventually more powerful creations.

 

The Tailoring Master immediately teaches you two recipes: Thin Leather and either Tikel Thread (Asmodian) or Ruko Thread (Elyos). The master also offers you the "Medical Gauze" work order. You obtain additional recipes through questing, looting fallen enemies and from merchants such as Proserpina (Sanctum) and Kaiot (Pandaemonium). As you gain Expertise Points, Daphnis and Zyakia offer more difficult--and more rewarding--work orders.

 

Whenever you reach the maximum possible Expertise Points, return to Daphnis or Zyakia and pay enough Kinah to raise the ceiling on your Expertise Points, according to the table below. Note that prices may vary somewhat depending on your faction’s current influence ratio. You get one Expertise Point immediately, which moves you up into the next tier.

 

Skill Tier	Expertise Points	Cost to Obtain
Lesser	1 to 99	3,500 kinah
Regular	100 to 199	17,000 kinah
Greater	200 to 299	115,000 kinah
Quality	300 to 399	460,000 kinah
Expert	400 to 450	Reach level 29 to obtain Expert Quests from your Crafting Master. You won’t have to pay kinah to reach this level.

As a Tailor, you want to gather from plant nodes for the textiles that become cloth armor. Depending on your Extract Vitality skill level, you can gather from the following nodes:

 

Extract Vitality Level	Material Type
25	Ruko (E) / Tikel (A)
120	Twisp (A)
150	Fess (E)
235	Sobi (E)
260	Xilix (A)
330	Anathe (A)
335	Linon (E)

 

You’ll also want to "gather" hides from the monsters you kill. At level 10 you’ll get Thin Rawhide, level 20 you’ll get Thick Rawhide, level 30 is Strong Rawhide, and level 40 is Tough Rawhide and Hard Balaur Scale.
