Velious Tailoring Strategy?

[korilla]

I got my tailoring up to 131 and capped out with crystalline armor. Where do I go from here to get tailoring to 200+ and recoup the initial investment costs? Do I suck it up and count my losses while I skill tailoring to 200 by making shitty arctic wyvern masks and then make the money items or is there a better route? Would love to hear from the master tailors on p99.

I've heard tailoring is very difficult and expensive to get past 200.

Based on the wiki:

Fleeting Quiver.

Can try cultural recipes if you are a halfling, woodelf or erudite.

If your endgame is the shawl, then wait till wu's. If the endgame is profits now then your strategy is correct.

my endgame is shawl, and i was getting bored of eq until i decided to do this quest. this does keep me quite busy. i've been doing arctic wyvern wristbands (since only 2 studs) because they sell for 4-5k as opposed to 500pp for the mask. i went 1/21 on a wristband at 131 tailoring.

Can cultural recipes be done by any tailor as long as you have the mats, or are they restricted to only specific cultures?

You have to be that culture to use the special kits (ex: Feir`Dal Sewing Kit is usable only by wood elves - kit itself must be made by a wood elf blacksmith as well), although anyone can gather the raw materials. Sometimes the metal bits have to be made by cultural smiths, sometimes not (halfling cultural tailoring does not require cultural blacksmithing, for example).

Tannins, oils, and tempers can be made by any brewer.

You are also spending twice the studs to do this. Studs seem to take the longest to collect.

I just combined 20 stacks of mats, started at 153 ended at 177. Now I get to save another 40k for mats and do it again. (I fished most my cod)

i can farm 5x the cod oil than i can foraging yew leafs which is why i went the wyvern route.

Wu's to 158, and Velious combines to 250. Basically the only way without cultural.

What year is Wus gonna be implemented? Shouldn't it be in game by now??

Think that was like a June/July 2001 addition.

We currently are in March 2001. April 2001 patch is overdue and May 2001 patch should be coming soon. I expect them to bundle April/May into a large patch at this point.
