Thread: Tips on Tailoring exp?
my secert...make lots of stuff.... panels, fasteners, pants, shirts, belts, jackets, skirts (anything that doesn't require hide)
If you can't sell it right away, give it away. Thats right I give it away. Why? When people use your stuff you get exp. So instead of just 100 EXP you can get 250 EXp for the same item.
That attitude that xp is more important than money is what's making it so hard for some of us to sell anything lately. I've had to lower my prices considerably to keep up withone tailoron my server running around selling travel packs for 200cr (but I just refuse to go that low so I still don't sell that many).
I acutally had a Marksman last night yell at me because I wouldn't give him a free outfit. His friend had gotten a free one from a tailor, so why was I charging? He just kept saying that if others were givingclothes away for free that must make me greedy for wanting him to pay for it. He literally followed me around for about 1/2 hour badgering me about it. Obviously that's an extreme example of an immature person overreacting, but giving things away does hurt the rest of the community that's trying to make their money from crafting instead of resorting to missions.

well the stuff that I give away is stuff out of the Domestics line (simple shirts & jackets to people wearing newbie clothes) ...sorry if there was confusion. I would never give away any stuff out of the Tailor line. This is also my way of passing out "business cards". I work rather along the lines of a drug dealer...the first ones are sample to get you hooked then the prices go up & up & up

Well, clothing is terribly addictive. It's a tough habit to kick. I know I make myself a new outfit every day. (I'd post the little winky smiley here, but apparently I "don't have permission to post HTML" *sigh*)
you have to use the ":" mark with the ")" mark you can't click on the little smiley pictures

"I've got one harvester up harvesting Fiberplast. I'm getting ready to train Eng3 to make my own so I can get wind power and another harvester for steel. I think I can afford it, because at the moment I'm the only serious tailor (any where above DomIV) on the server that is even tailoring. I flooded the market with travel packs at 1250. I just knocked them all down to 900, and then put up Military Travel packs at 1400, and I'm making a crap load. "
Heh, on Ahazi in bestine, Travel packs went for 1500 off the bat and sold like hotcakes. The military packs came around, they sold quite well for 2500. Now tech packs are selling for 3k. Hooray for money.
