Tailor Archive

I brought this up in Beta, but never harped on it much,so I thought I'd toss it out for discussion.

We really ought to have some method of selling a set of dissimilar items on the bazaar and on vendors. That would allow us to coordinate and package a whole outfit, rather than throwing shirt A and pants B up on the bazaar and hoping they sell as a matched set.

The same capability would also be useful for armorsmiths, who also deal in full sets, and chefs and artisans who could sell a bag of low-cost items rather than having to list each one seperately.

I'm not sure how the categorization would work. There might have to be a "collections" subcategory under clothing, and every item in the container sold in that category would have to belong to the main category. I'm opento more elegant solutions.

A similar capability existed in UO, and it lent itself to a variety of applications limited only by the imagination of the packager.

There is a workaround. Put everything in a pack and sell it with a name like "uber 1337 matrix jedi hooded outfit".

I think the "Set Name" radial on packs was intended for house sorting, but it works nicely in this situtation.

For the record this isn't even my own idea... a non-Tailor PA mate came up with it, and we dida test sell to make sure it would work. I'm posting it here because I assume many of you have come up with the idea independently. If not, whoops...

I have yet to implement this on my vendor, primarily because I've been too busy.

What category does it show up in? Ifitwould sortto the right category, this may be all that's needed.

That is the catch. It would sort as a pack, under Wearable Containers, which some people have problems finding already.
