Silk armor was not tailorable before Sept 1999
Wu's armor is included in this, although I think it's already era keyed correctly. But the rest of the silk line (Raw silk, Cured silk) wasn't tailorable until September 1999 either.

Here's a tailoring guide from eq-online, captured in October 1999 that seems to have tailoring as it existed before the silk additions.
It went patchwork, studded, reinforced. https://web.archive.org/web/19991009...ring_guide.htm And more detail of tradeskills in general, including tailoring but also others: https://web.archive.org/web/19991012...ade_skills.htm | ||

Earliest date cured silk is discussed on old evelore site.

Monks can learn tailoring while making these for them selves and when whereing them. They look the way they should. You don't look like a warrior with out a weapon. You can show off your mucsles like your always wanted without getting beat-up on because of low ac."

Found another post about the new raw silk armor from eqbards. I am pretty sure the silk swatch recipe was new as well, which would make sense. So that will need to be era ruled too.

Lots of corroboration in the newsgroups around this time too. No results for "silk swatch" before this patch.

Minor correction: seems only the Wu's gauntlets were added in this patch. All the other Wu's was added later, in March-ish 2001 if I'm not mistaken.
I'm looking for the recipe books for these which would also need era rules. | ||

The book that needs era rules is "Volume 3 of the Chronicles of Wu":

Not sure if that book drops here. But it should be a semi-rare drop off at least the Orc Chief in lesser fay. Reference in comment in this thread:

Oops, fixed everlore link:
https://web.archive.org/web/20020625...&pg=2&sortby=2 And as a point of interest, here's a silk tailoring guide from late October 1999 that describes the new silk armors: https://web.archive.org/web/20001213...lk_guide.phtml | ||
