can someone post a screenshot or the complete name, what I have from a friend is like "sub component building material of heavy duty leather cloth" something like that.... bit exaggerated, but I remember it being lengthy. or is it simple named

"heavy duty leather" ?

the stuff I have resembles synthetic cloth

I have sympathy for you folks in your profession, so I'll throw you a bone as well: these items are drops off of many npcs throughout the universe: RSF commandos oustide theed (got some crystaline stuff from them--looked like a bunch of inhalers), ewoks and maruaders, a bunch of the npc pois (esp the gang poi near the center NE of Naboo), tuskans (mmm, leather), and some nightsisters who were persuaded to part with their items only with much trouble. Random drops folks. Just go killing like crazy. The only reason I know this is I was on an NPC killing ramage, trying to find clothing attachments for my rifleman, and I hit practically every npc stronghold throughout the universe trying to find some method to the madness of drops. I kept getting all these silly tailoring items that I had no idea what to do with, so I sold them on the bazaar for 1k each (yes, very stupid of me).

Here's another thing you really should keep in mind: the themeparks give a lot of these things away as gifts/rewards. I urge you to try as manyof them as possible. You'd be surprised at how quickly you accumulate them.

If anyone is wondering at this time "Is all this REALLY worth it?" well I have to say that personally so far it's been very profitable. I've just traded one of the Lightweight Military backpacks to some guy (I won't expose him) for a pre-nerf Krayt FWG5. Now I know that most of us are non-combatants but this thing is worth 15 mil on todays market.

I know it would be foolish of me to even consider that as a standard price for the backpack, or even consider myself to be just lucky, I was INCREDIBLY lucky and the guy was a collector which helps but think of it this way...............you're not gonna have a chance to be lucky or even to be able to sell them at all if you don't splash out on the components to make them in the first place. My advice is to beg/borrow/steal/hunt/kill and generally just devote your entire time to finding those components, pretty soon the new stuff just ain't gonna be as big news. Also, and this is a top tip I reckon, make a load of melee defence or bleed defence clothing, stick a few of the weapon plus clothing attachments in them (buy them if you must) and then sell the job lot off asa Master Marksman suit or something similar. I made about 150k on the one set of clothes from doing that and that was without the new backpack, with one i'd say i'll make about a mil profit.

If anyones interested in what I put in the suit or you just want to chat about tailoring in general you can find me on Bria generally killing every NPC going.

P.S. Anyone wanna buy a FWG5 pistol? 12 mil lol

P.P.S. Don't steal the components, you could get in trouble

In factory crate means all items share the same serial number. When you loot from the same creature or in the same region in a short period of time(a day or two), those components are in the same serial number.

If you are making crafter's apron, it takes 2 component in the same serial number. So they must be identical. If you are making a special pack, it only requires 1 heavy duty leather.

Better luck in the loot from nightsisters, though fighting them can be a pain. We found 5 leathers from 1 loot. Yet it's all about luck. My guildmate had tried to hunt them for 2 days with 0 loot.

Most likely heavy duty leather (and the other components) drop off of any humanoid that drops loot (things like cdef weapons and broken doohickys).

The only difference is the higher ham mobs are able to drop more at once. Meatlumps and kooks say are only going to drop 1 heavy duty leather or clasp or whatever at a time, whereas nightsisters or dantari, or other high ham mobs can drop 4 or 6 or 8 or whatever, all with the same serial number.

Have you folks been frozen in a glacier? These loot schems are VERY profitable. Yes. the Components are hard to come by and the schems themselves are kinda difficult, but it IS worth it. There are four different Crafting Apron Schems...

Chef...+5 food experiment+5 food assembly

Med...+5 Med experiment+5 med assembly

Architect...+5 structure experiment+5Structure assembly

Tailor...+5 clothing Exp+5 clothing assembly

You can have all of them learned at once. If you try to learn one and it doesn't let you, then you already know it. Through a careful process of elimination, you should be able to determine what the unlearned schems are. The Tailor Apron is worthless. The Architect apron is slightly good, but the Chef and the Med ones are screamers. Easily 1mill+ Just think how much a tape of +5 Med experimentation would go for.You get two +5's in the apron alone. Plus these can come with sockets. You can figure outwhich schem it is depending on the particular crafting tool it takes as a component. Yes it is unfortunate that the "portions of Heavy Duty Leather" are so hard to comeby, but that is what makes it so rare and worth the money. Skill tapes are just as rare. I think it's a nice, fun little thing that they threw the Tailors. Something we canstrive to achieve to makerather than being boredoutta our skulls crafting the same stuff over and over.

The Backpacks IMHO are even better than the Aprons. The melee and ranged bonuses they give are tremendous.
