Tailor Archive

Hi guys

I'm a Master BE and I'm curious to know how much you guys pay for you BE tissues. I usually base my price purely on cost per resources. Generally, most of the Tissues require around 80 resources so at 2creds/resources this equates to around 160.

The 2 creds/resources is pretty generous considering the difficulty that some of these resources are to get.

I realise that all servers can have different prices but I'd like to get an idea of what you guys think would be too cheap or too expensive.

Thanks

When I was a tailor, and decided to make mod'ed clothing for my friends, I bought something like 80tissues for 500c each. The BE gave me a deal because I was also making her some items. The tailors on my server charge like they are buying tissues for 5k each.

I'm paying between 2.5k and 5k per tissue.

Holy crap!!! 5000 per tissue????!!!!! Man, I am soooo short selling myself ....

lol, not every tissue is 5k. Just the ones that require freaky resources, like eggs. Or if my supplyer's having a hard time aquireing a meat type or something.

I buy crates of 25 advanced tissues (+15 to +17s)to various skills at about 3k per tissue.

My BE usually makes the Advanced Tranquilisers (+15 or +16 taming) for free as I supply the milk, and he is just pleased that they don't CF I usually throw 10k or so at him for doing it though.

nothing, i give my be 1/2 of my mod clothing sales

FYI, most BEs charge based upon the tissue bonus, not the resources. Usually 100-250 cr per bonus. For example, a +13 tissue at 100 per would be 1300 cr, while a +15/+15 tissue at 100 per would be 3000 cr.

If you're basing your tissues entirely upon the resources used making them, you're not getting paid for the quality of your work. You can use the same number of resources, with and without experimentation, and get vastly different results. The better result should be worth more.
