Tailoring

Fabric, dyestuffs, and armour, garments and shoes to wear.

A making trade. The guild is in Lutie . At Master it becomes Couturier or Draper.

Tailoring spins Fluff and Stem into Fabric, mixes herbs into every Dyestuff, and sews robes, coats, garments and shoes. A Master Tailor makes Cloth Bolts and the slotted pieces.

Fabric is the trade's backbone: make it first, and most of your recipes follow from it.

Getting started

Find the Tailoring Guildmaster in Lutie and ask to join. Your first making trade is free. The guildmaster hands you a Tailor's Needle and puts it in your profession equipment.

Your work skill sits at the top of your trade's skill tab. Use it anywhere you can sit, pick a recipe and how many to make, and stay seated until the batch is done. Walking off stops the batch, and nothing you had not started on is lost.

How the work goes

Every recipe shows its chance, the time a piece takes and the EXP it pays, all worked out for you: your level, skills and tool are already counted. Each level you stand above a recipe adds 1% to its chance, up to 10%.

Before a batch you choose a bench action. Normal is the usual chance and time. Steady is 15% surer and a quarter slower. Careful keeps three quarters of the materials when an attempt fails, but a failure then teaches nothing and the work is 40% slower. Rush is 35% faster and 10% less sure, and a failure teaches nothing.

Each item in a batch also rolls a bench condition as it starts: now and then it goes 30% faster, or with steadier hands for +10%, or through a dull stretch 20% slower. The progress bar tells you which.

Every recipe needs at least one guild ingredient, marked in the list below. That ingredient must come from a profession, gathered, caught, grown or made. The same item bought from a shop or dropped by a monster will not count for it, though it still works for the recipe's other ingredients.

Recipes

All 47 recipes. The chance shown is before your skills and level, the EXP is for one made, and the gold ingredient is the guild ingredient that must come from a profession.

Equipment

Each trade has four slots of its own in the Equipment window's Professions tab, beside your normal gear: a tool, an outfit, a charm and a supply. Better pieces come from tasks, the Mark shop and other trades.

Tool

  1. Tailor's Needle

    A plain needle. A Tailor cannot sew without one.

    Given by the guildmaster when you join.

  2. Fine Needle

    Work 5% faster.

    Reward for the Apprentice 20 task. Mark shop, 250 Marks at 1 heart.

  3. Guild Needle

    Work 10% faster.

    Mark shop, 700 Marks at 3 hearts.

Outfit

  1. Tailor's Waistcoat

    Work 6% faster.

    Reward for the Apprentice 30 task. Mark shop, 500 Marks at 2 hearts.

Charm

  1. Tailor's Charm

    4% chance of one more piece.

    Mark shop, 600 Marks at 3 hearts.

Levels and tasks

The first time you make anything pays three times its EXP, so a new recipe is always worth one batch. A recipe pays its full EXP until you are ten levels past it, half until twenty levels past, and then nothing, so keep moving up the list.

Make 25 of a recipe and its batches can run to 99 at once.

    5 Guild Formal Suit12 Guild Violet Dyestuffs

    Pays 150 Guild Marks. Delivering it opens the way to Master.

Guild orders

The five guild clients order goods from every trade. These are what they ask a Tailoring hand for, and the level at which each order starts to appear. A delivery pays Guild Marks and trade EXP and wins the client's regard. You can deliver 12 orders a week, and each guildmaster has one request a day on top.

Questions

Tips

  • Dyestuffs are wanted by everyone changing a hair colour or a costume dye.
  • Your own Fabric counts as a guild ingredient in your other recipes.
Is Fabric a guild ingredient?

Yes, when a Tailor made it. Fabric from a monster or a shop is not.

Can I hold two trades?

You hold one gathering trade and one making trade at the same time. Tailoring takes your making place.

What happens if I change trade?

Your first trade of each kind is free. Changing later costs 100,000 zeny, and the trade you leave keeps its level, skills and log, so you can come back to it.

How do I become a Master?

Reach Apprentice 40 and deliver your guildmaster's masterpiece. You then choose Couturier or Draper, and your levels start again from Master 1 with your skill points kept. A guildmaster changes your mastery later for 300 Guild Marks and 300,000 zeny.

Can I reset my skills?

Yes. Your guildmaster resets every skill in their trade for 200,000 zeny and gives all the points back to spend, Apprentice and mastery skills alike. Your level and mastery stay. Changing mastery also refunds that mastery's skills.

Why do shops only pay 1 zeny?

What a trade gathers or makes is guild goods. It works in every recipe and quest and trades freely between players, but shops pay 1 zeny for it, so professions never print zeny. Sell to other players or deliver it to the guild clients for Marks.

Can Hardcore characters take a trade?

Yes. Their goods and Marks stay inside the Hardcore economy.

Is there a reward at the top?

The Professions achievements are kept on the account, and reaching Master 50 earns this trade's title.
