New Tailor/Leatherworking Guide

Tailoring/Leatherworking Leveling Guide


Tailoring – Working with Cloth fabrics.  Create clothes and cloth armor – very good for magic resistance but not so much on the physical.

Leatherworking – Working with Leather.  Create clothes, armor, saddles and shoes/boots from Leather – only magical resistance from magical beings, and not that great physical resistance except for taking blunt damage since there is so much give and flexibility to the armor.  Leather is best used for fighters who are quick on their feet and don’t rely too much on strength to win a fight.  

For both of these, you need pretty much the same skills, the ability to measure, form a pattern, cut, stitch, and take out stitches.  You can repair or create armor or anything else (depending on level) from Cloth and Leather.  


Rules

Rules on both Tailoring and Leatherworking

For Armor, we created a system to increase its defense (physical or magical) so no one could or would wonder what to do when they got better materials or whatnot.  

First, even if you’re starting with a higher level armor material… make a template with a Basic Iron/Cow leather/Cotton value… you can create it as “Physical Defense: 3 Basic Cow Leather +2 for Wolf and +3 for Torso = 8 X half its weight (2lb=X1) = 8”… if you want, that way you wouldn’t have to make 2 different templates, but you need a starting point so that these numbers can correspond correctly (all the metals and leathers and cloths have a +4, +5, etc. that are over Iron/Cow Leather/Cotton, so if you don’t know what that number is, it makes it hard to improve upon it).  

Anyways, on to the system – All armors are multiplied by half their weight to get a boost once you make something past Iron/Cow Leather/Cotton.  This way those three materials are pretty crappy… and you should want to improve them quickly, you’d be surprised how much a boost they get once you multiply by half the weight.

– For armor pieces that go onto the Hand, Foot, Head, or Neck, you do not get a ‘Body Part Bonus’, so it is the Base Resistance + anything for a higher material X half its weight

-For armor pieces that go onto the Forearm, Upper Arm, and Calf, you get a ‘Body Part Bonus’ of +1, so add that and any higher materials bonus points to your base defense and X that by half its weight

- For armor pieces that go onto the Thigh, you get a ‘Body Part Bonus’ of + 2, so add that and any higher material bonus points to your base defense and X that by half its weight

- For armor that covers a majority of lower body (pants/shorts) or any part or all of your torso (full shirts, robes, dresses, etc.), you get a ‘Body Part Bonus’ of +3, so add that and any higher material bonus points to your base Defense and X that by half its weight

Ex. Wolf Leather – in the Common Uncommon Animal Class, Numbers correspond to Physical Resistance
- hand armor = 1(original template)+2(wolf) =3 X half of 1lb (.5 rounded back up to 1) = 3
- forearm = 4(original template)+2(wolf)=6 +1(body part bonus) =7 X half of 4lb (making it 2) = 14
- Thigh = 7(original template)+2(wolf) = 9 + 2(body part bonus) = 11 X half of 7lb (making it 3.5 rounded up to 4)= 44
- pants = 10(original template)+2(wolf)=12 +3(body part bonus) = 15 X half of 14lb (making it 7)= 105

Any Material that is 20 levels below you will no longer give you a training point, so make sure you use newer materials when you get them.

In order to make Saddles and Shoes (leather or cloth), you must be 10 levels higher than the level you were when you became able to use the material you want to make them out of… use Cow leather at 15, must be 25 to make a Cow Leather saddle.  This goes until level 100 where you can skip this whole thing since there isn’t anything higher than 100… so you can just go ahead and make those things.  

Rules on Tailoring

Any Raw materials for making Cloth must be spun through a spinning wheel to remove impurities and weaved on a loom to being formed into actual Cloth.  This can be done at a Tailor shop, or with a small hand held Loom and travel wheel.  1 post of spinning produces about 1 square yard of material to be weaved.

Cloth used as reinforcement to metal or leather armor does not increase physical defense, but it does give magical resistance. (Certain exceptions below with alternative bonuses)

Rules on Leatherworking

Leatherworkers cannot Skin animals unless they are a Hunter as well, and they cannot Cure the Leather unless they are a Hunter as well.  All Leather must be Cured by a Hunter or a high level NPC Tailor/leatherworker/Hunter before using as Leather.  It may cost you more if you don’t get it Cured quickly… so Cure the leather as soon as you have an opportunity.

Leather used as reinforcement to metal armor only increases blunt resistance (and any magical from special leathers)
