Tailor Archive

This started on the Intrepid trade forums - but I want further clarification

2 people are stating that a CA with 3 stats IE.

+1 melee
+2 pistol
+3 entertainment healing

THat such a CA would take up 3 slots, if so when was the code change?

In my experience such a CA only takes up 1 socket.

Help from the tailors would be appreciated.

Yes it will take up 3 sockets (if there are 3 free sockets on the garment).

It was changed with the CU.

There's a new Clothing attachment guide which is linked to the "PLEASE READ THIS FIRST" post stickied above. It should be helpful if you have more complex skill tape issues.

The 4 sockets are possible, but it is random. Sometimes you get lucky enough to get 4 sockets on the first try and sometimes it may take you 50+ tries for it. I had a really bad streak on sockets for the deco vest a little while ago, and since then I have yet to get another 4 socket vest. I have made over 200 vests and still not a single one with 4 sockets. I know that is not the norm for it to be that many without a 4 socket, and luckily nothing else is giving me that trouble. Just wanted to let you know that it can take sometime to get the 4 sockets on each piece.

Sockets are mean!

If they are a master tailor is not impossible but it can be highly annoying, especially if you know you have to log out in x number of minutes.

If they are somewhere between novice and tailoring IV then it may be impossible for them to get 4 sockets on tailor items. I can't remember if you need tailoring IV or master to get 4 sockets to appear but if they have neither then you have set them an impossible challenge (at least until they gain those levels).

Its a good thing you are not in a hurry If you have the patience to let the tailor get on with it and don't feel the need to ask them every 5 minutes if your order is finished, then no, you are not being too demanding

Sorry, I don't know enough about Ahazi pricing to answer that one.

Personally, I'd be happy with that much, but I don't normally charge extra for 4 sockets (depends on how annoying the customer is).

Some tailors have a '4-socket tax', some expect payment for the failed attempts, it really depends on the tailor

100k is more than enough. Today I had a request for a 4 socketed deco vest.....it took me 15 tries, but I did it. In a scenerio like that, I do not demand an enflated price. Mainlybecuase I can just sell the ones with less sockets on the bazzar. So it is only the time spent in crafting that comes into question. I would charge 2k for the vest, and an extra 10k for the time. But of course you tip what you think is fair.

However, sometimes it can be a bit frustrating doing the same thing over and over again with no results. I don't think you are being too demanding, but remember to have patience. There is nothing worse than a pushy buyer.
