A few questions about tailoring.

[Murri]

Playing as a bard what stat should I raise to help with skill ups. Is it int/wis and then dex like wiki says? I've been getting a lot of different info on this so I figured I'd ask on the forums.

Second question is as a wood elf bard following rallos zek can I go the cultural route or is it only for followers of the correct deity?

Thanks for the help!
