Well said Numtini,


In a round about way, I guess that was my point. Sure it's fun to be 'master tailor' and now that I've got a factory, I can grind with the best of them.. but to what end.. grind out 50,000 ribbed shirts.. just to destroy them seems kinda pointless. It's darn boring, that's for sure.


So my point was if you could achieve the same effect using synth cloth (something that at least you can USE in other things) why not choose that? Someone mentioned that the benefit vs. cost was better for a ribbed shirt than the cloth, and I can see why that might be the grind of choice.


I guess it just depends on where you want your character to go and how you want to get there.


Thanks for the advice everyone!


Jarius.

Personally I skill on cloaks. They are around 300 exp each, take 50 hide and 60 fiberplast (just under 2x the amount of material as ribbed cloaks... especially good if you have good hide suppliers). I still the extras in bags and then take them around when I travel off planet and dump them in bazaars, usually shouting that I posted some. They sell back in very short order at 2k each and pay for the material expenses and travel + some. And frankly, griding 4 crafting tools with cloaks is just 2x faster and less painful than 4 tools on ribbed shirts.
