Thread: Why grind Ribbed Shirts? Surely Military Packs?
I thought to get the most xp per item you had to graind the most complex item.. atm that's a military travel pack for me (23 complexity i think?). But i see everyone here says to grind ribbed shirts which has a lesser complexity? I'm confused 
It has to be said though that if you want to cover your expenditure on resources, packs are the way to go, you can easily sell the lot of them for more cpu than you bought the resources for. Depends how much of a rush you are in to get through Tailor.
Even as a master tailor, I tend not to bother with anything but packs (and components)...I just mass produce them and have a constant turnover of sales.

... plus military packs can be given away faster than hot cakes.. last night after grinding 30 or so of them.. i went to AH and had given each one away to a different person in about 10mins.. which gives me xp for people wearing my items doesn't it?
It doesn't give any noticable XP (if it does it is really small) and if a lot of people do this it makes sure that no one ever buys a millitary pack from someone who has decided to be a tailor as their actual profession. They aren't great sellers for me anyway, but I wish people would think about the professions that they are grinding through.

Well seeing as military packs can be made by complete novices (like me)you wouldn't really expect them to be great sellers would you?..ThereforeI hardly see giving them away as having a detrimental effect on the profession
It won't have a detrimental effect on the profession, but I disagree with the first statement. The master items were great sellers when we hit the top level all those months ago. Everyone was running around in their favourite coloured tactical skinsuits. However the most expensive items became so common that now the looks that stand out are creative ones made from items across the range. I for instance am wearing pants that a weaponsmith could probably make, and recently traded my bounty hunter pack in for one of the artisan ones.
All about the look, my friend.

Actually, it'll have the most detrimental affect on your fellow novices. There are (believe it or not) folks who are trying to craft and sell their way up tailoring. So grinding and then giving away one of the best selling low level items does hurt their attempt to make a little money at lower levels of their chosen profession.
Not to mention that if you practice craft (which doesn't produce a pack) you get 5% extra xp.
Crafting my way up the profession is exactly whatI was doing at the timeI originally made these posts.. however yesterdayI finally succumbed (spelling?) to the darkside, and to my shameand have been macro crafting
