Tailor Archive

Hi,

My name is Spooky and have just reached Novice Tailor on the Shadowfire Galaxy. I was wondering what skill tree should I go up 1st? I would like to have a wider palatte of colours, so should I go up the 4th tree 1st?

Other than getting harvesters, what is the best way to get the resources needed (use bazaar or join a guild (or just asking to buy from people met))? I don't really want to have a harvester, so any help/advice would be appreciated.

Is it also worth purchasing a house and setting up a vendor? I like to travel on my Planet (Naboo) so am reluctant to do this. (like the idea of travelling tailor) Being a Master Scout I Have met a lot of people on my travels and feel the personal touch would be better for me.

Thanks for all your help in advance, I will be monitoring this thread as often as I can. Spooky

it really depends on what you want to make. if you want to grind and have items with the best xp, i would suggestfieldwear first. otherwise, you can take a look at each tree as to which items you get, and you can decide from there. fieldwear items are fairly popular, so it might not be a bad idea to start there anyway.

getting your own harvs would be cheapest, but once in a while i give in and buy resources on the bazaar. since quality doesn't matter, i usually just look for the cheapest resources. however, there are several resources you might want to stock up in advance, in case it doesn't spawn in a while. you would want to keep stacks of titanium aluminum, thoranium steel, plexite armophous gemstone, and green diamond crystalline gemstone.

i've always had a shop and several vendors (until recently), and it helps with business. usually people don't mind travelling to their favorite tailor

You'd be better off going field gear first, as most of the best selling items come from this and do not require all the colors to sell well. Plus you can make crates of syn cloth and rfp and sell those.

If you go up formal wear, youreally need the good colours to go with it, so I would get to at least Tailoring 3 before working on the Formal Wear skill tree. Like Akaara said, Field wear has lots of Fast-selling bazaar stuff. Dusters and such sell very well in basic black, and will keep you able to pay harvester maintenance.

FEILD WEAR,

actually that's all I got!!! saved the rest for combat skills, but the 75k a day from the bazaar (dusters, camo pants, inf suits) is kinda nice, with out a lot of hassle

I wrote an article for SWGTailor.com that talks about the pros and cons of each tree. http://zero.hastypastry.net/~shirow/swgtailor/public_html/staticpages/index.php?page=20031109235427154

It won't tell you what tree to go up in, but it gives you an idea of what may work best for you depending upon your goals.
