Go to the baz and setup a buyer for pristine, fine, excellent, and superb animal pelts/silks.Merlaina wrote:Does anyone have any advice for raising tailoring? I'm currently at 198 skill and have run through all of the furs and silks I had saved for when I came back to this, but now that new cultural is out (sort of) I wanted to raise my skill so I could try to make some of that shiny armor.
I know back in the day othmir fur caps were in fashion, and I'd imagine I could slaughter the buggars pretty smurf fast now, but probably faster than they could respawn (beaming them comes to mind). My other thought was to kill minotaurs in DSH for superb animal pelt drops, since as a bonus they drop decent merchant fodder and they have casters which can drop research components.
I've scoured EQtraders and haven't seen any super-easy methods listed. Is there anything I'm missing, or am I on the right track?
Asking your guildies to deposite those items in the guild bank is very useful too.
Max out tailoring mastery and salvage AA's.
When you have about 200 pristine combines, start making them with the formula that you find in EQ traders in this thread.

Start with your wrist template (1 pelt/2silks), move on to glove(1 pelt/2silks), then go to boots(2 pelt/4silks), and finally chest templates(3 pelt/6silks) as you max out each skill. A word to the wise, use the silks before you use the pelts. 6 silks will not combine in a planar kit and you'll have to go find a bigger one.
So if have enough components, max out your skill on the chest. If not, then just max out on your glove pattern.
Do not start any higher level silks/pelts unless you have maxed out the trivial on the glove pattern, no matter what. It'll be tempting, just don't do it.
That is the cheapest way to max out in a reasonable amount of time.
Oh, and buy the cultural books in POK. That will put the recipees in your "memory" so you won't have to experiment to figure them out. They're cheap and well worth the hassel.
Once you max out a certain level of pelts/silks, take them off of your buyer. IF you have extras, which will be rare, you can make a tidy proffit on them by selling them in trader mode!
If you want to level up super fast and don't care about plat, then you can buy marrows/fluids, do the cultural pattern quest, and then use your templates to make those too.
Oh, FYI, if you don't have your trophy yet, get it as soon as you hit 201 points. The quest at that level is a lot easier than it will be at 300. You can find info for this under the same link. I highly recommend anyone get their trophy as soon as they hit 51 points.
