Tailor Archive

Hi,

There have been lots of threads about getting 4 sockets and there have been lots of views about Assembly SEAs and resource quality etc. I decided to do a series of tests to see if I could make any sense of the issue.

I did 3 runs of 100 cloaks as follows:

Run 1 - I used low quality resources (Fiberplast with OQ 122 and Hide with OQ 103) and I was wearing my non-enhanced, "out and about" clothes;

Run 2 - I used the same low quality resource as run 1 but I was wearing my tailoring outfit so had the benefit of +25 to tailor assembly;

Run 3 - I kept my tailor assembly outfit on but used high OQ resources (Fiberplast with OQ 985, hide with OQ 999).

Here are the results:

Run 1: 0 sockets = 4, 1 socket = 17, 2 sockets = 33, 3 sockets = 26, 4 sockets = 20
Run 2: 0 sockets = 1, 1 socket = 9, 2 sockets = 25, 3 sockets = 33, 4 sockets = 32
Run 3: 0 sockets = 3, 1 socket = 17, 2 sockets = 16, 3 sockets = 28, 4 sockets = 36

From these results it would seem that the assembly mods made a significant difference to the number of 4 socket items but resource quality wasn't a factor.

Note: Every cloak was made with the same 15.00 crafting tool and I was positioned in front of my 42.83 crafting station. I am a Master Tailor, Master Artisan.

Anyway - I just thought I'd share this with you all. There's probably a statistician out there who can say whether a run of 100 items provides a sufficiently meaningful sample. It seemed a good enough number to me ... and anyway I'm not sure my BE would have been happy with me plundering twice as much of their precious high OQ resource!

So in future I'll be wearing my gold and pink tailoring outfit every time I'm crafting (hmmm ... now wishing I'd chosen something a little less flambuoyant if I'm always going to be wearing it).

Cheers,
Gawgax

Thanks for the insight! I'll be sure to wear my +25 assembly outfit more often!

Good to know, thanks! I'll have to work on getting my +25 suit now since most everything I had went poof while I was on my extended break.
