Tailor Archive

Hi all,

I'm posting to get some of your veiws on the way you price your armour paddings, i have tried pricing them builing in what all the components would cost me to buy in and the price looks OTT and i have tried pricing them on how much they actually cost me in resources and time and its way too cheap as i would make more selling one crafters apron.

Anyway i would either like some insight as to how you guys and gals price or should i just aim in the middle of the prices i have come up with?

Hope to get some good informative posts please from fellow Tailors

Thanks

Cool thanks for the info its just what i hoped for, as you can see from my sig i have a Ranger alt so costs are low however i don't want to get into undercutting so i need to check hide prices carefully on my server.

Just for interest i am a 12pt Tailor too in Experimentation and assembly and these are my best results so far (i will edit with stats of hide used later)

4% (89% experimented)
226 (33% experimented)
5/6/5 HAM

I'm doing the full 1000 schem run

, but the armoursmiths reading this will gasp and have heart palpitations....

The stats I got (using 12 points of experimentation) were: 4% (88% experimented) 306 condition, 4/5/4 HAM

A few tailors too lol nice pads

I make my own and have noticed no difference in the final product when using 86% eff to 91% eff paddings. It appears that is is all gravy once you crest over 85. I usually put the extra expt point or two into lowerng the ham by a point or two after hitting 86% eff.

There is a difference in the products with the base that when used in the Wookie armours that use more of them can add an extra couple of % on the effectiveness of the armour. Armoursmiths I deal with like a higher experimentation on effectiveness, lower HAM is just the cherry on top of the cake for them.

I am an armorsmith and a tailor. By finished product, I was referring to the armor piece itself. I have used identical resources and segments in hunting armor with 86%-91% experiemnted tailor paddings and have seen no difference in the final resists of the armor. I was stating that it is not necessary to experiment above 86% eff on the padding, because the armor will usually be the same (all cases during my trial). 86% = 4.30 base where 91% = 4.55 base. The difference between these two is minimal and will almost never play a roll. I was saying to experiment base to 86% then put the rest into encumbrance/condition. You get no benefit from dropping the extra points in to further raise base.
