I am going to Respec one of my characters (a wookiee MBH/MRifle) to Tailor (because I want to make clothes for my bothan female jedi) and Something else... I'm having difficulty deciding on what to get with the rest... I've been thinking about BE for the tissues for clothing... but I can't really decide on what to pick up. Some suggestions would be appreaciated. (non-combat professions please)

ID, Architect, Entertainer, Dancer, Musician, BE, Merchant...the list goes on and on. It's a matter of personal preference.

I have Had Master Merchant as Long as Tailor and am happy with it {i dont care my profs mean nothing to anyone, they only have to matter to me}

I have known several Tailors who have done pistols to ID..so really only advice is do what you want and will enjoy.

If you're looking to make an income, and not just make clothing for yourself and friends, i'd suggest grabbing Master Artisan. Powerup, and Artisan foods sell very well. Vehicle Restoration Kits are tough to keep stocked too. Swoops are another big seller.

Personally, here's my crafter's template:

Master Artisan (for making all the above items, as well as some other good stuff)
Master Tailor (my main prof that Teero's been for about a year now)
Master Image Designer (not only can i give someone some new threads, but i can give them a completly new "look")
and the rest of my points have been dumped into Merchant (advertising 4 is a MUST HAVE to successfully run a business it seems)

I purchase all of my BE stuff from a good friend who's been a MBE for a long time. That way, the only reason i need to keep high-quality resources in stock is for Weapon Powerups, Repair Tools, and Artisan Foods/Drinks.

I went with tailor/shipwright/artisan and bits of merchant myself. Why?

Tailor because it's what I wanted the character to do. I was a tailor on my originial character way, way, way back (pre-vehicles kind of way back).

I chose shipwright because there's a lot in it. Reverse Engineering is a low cost, low maintaince occupation that can still yield the occasional high income. Making a chassis is pretty straightforward and getting the resources for it, likewise. It's a crafting profession in which it is is easy to specialize. Me, I'm doing RE'ing and chassi exclusively.

I chose artisan for reasons mentioned by other people above. It's a great profession when it comes to creating relatively low-maintaince business, although you can get into the artisan food trade for higher payoffs. Nice variety.

And then bits of merchant to support it all. I know run a little shop outside Eisley where I sell - apart from clothes - whatever I feel like. It's quite nice.

Tailor/Carbineer!

Oh, wait, you wanted non-combat. Everyone's been giving pretty sound advice on what and why. If I didn't want combat I'd probably be Tailor/Musician, but the field is wide-open. (Pre-CU, Tailor/Doctor had the roleplay synergy: sew up your wounds and your clothes in one stop!)

BE would be nice, but with multiple characters it would work better to do BE on someone more combat-oriented. It's not a real requirement; I've gotten along without BE for two years by buying crates.

Good luck to you!

If you are planning to have a shop then you should consider Master Merchant not only for the ability todress your vendors but also for advertising (which is a huge issue for any shop owner) as well as the Merchant Tent option which is a bonus.

Being a BE is also nice however unless you intend to have some combat skill to defend yourself while collecting DNA, Milking and gathering the much needed resources I would suggest going with Tailor/Merchant combination.

Architect, to do it right, would require numerous resources as well as factories. Unless your going to be willing to spend time finding over 200k ore to make wall mods then it is not worth the effort. Yet if you are creaive and enjoy decorating you can use your tailor skills within the Architect profession. For example: Drapes/Curtains.

It really is a matter of how much time you want to spend Crafting compared to out Hunting & Gathering.

yes, the Hiring 4 is a very valuable box to get. This lets you dress vendors as well as have the full options of species and gender of vendors.

i grabbed that box, created my 6 or 7 vendors i have (all Rodians by the way) made their outfits, and then dropped the entire Hiring tree to free up points of Image Designer.

When dressing your vendors, try to dress them in a fitting way. like my food vendor is dressed as a Chef. my loot vendor is dressed like a smuggler, all the way down to a nice silver DL44 XT pistol. My resources vendor is dressed sort of like a miner, and my tools/vehicles vendor is dressed like a mechanic. and my 2 clothing vendors are dressed in really neat lookin' outfits. The BE clothing vendor is in a nice purple dress, and the non-BE vendor is in a nice formal outfit.

Advertising 4 is a must have. this gets your shop on the planetary and overhead maps.

Well to go with my Master Tailor I am Master Artisan/3003 Merchant/441 Musician.... This way I can give up musican if i need to redress or change out a vendor and get that line of hiring fairly quickly. With the 4400 musician i can buff crafters... Master Artisan is for swoops and restoration kits. Its works pretty well for me. But to each his own.

Ilove being an image designer /tailor. But that's just because i love both professions I can't ever see dofee giving up on image designer, so i never really contemplated another profession (to get next to tailor that is. she was a dancer/image designer first) And master merchant is indeed a plus if you want to open a shop (though it really does depend on how many vendors you want and what you want your stocklevel to be)

In the end, the only thing that matters is what you think you would enjoy most.

I have a Master Tailor/Master ID on Ahazi and I love it...I would recomend it to anyone, but I also would recomend figuring out what one of the lowest professions in your server is, and maybe try that, you could probably make good money that way.
