Tailor Archive

Bio-Engineer tissues can be placed in one of two components to make clothing, synthetic cloth (SC) or reinforced fiber panel (RFP). The maximum bonus you could ever get on any skill (be it through tissues, skill tapes, or any combination) is always +25. If you wear items that give you greater than +25 (say +50), then the higher number will show up in your skills, but the game will only still compute a +25 bonus. Also, even if you have a skill enhanced, this will not allow you to use skills you could not normally use (if you are not a medic, no amount of enhancements is going to allow you to heal wounds).

Following is a list of all available enhancements to clothing and in what tailor components they must be placed. If an aeticle of clothing does not call for one of these components it cannot be enhanced.

All clothing schematics require several slots of resources to make them. For example, the schematic for a Grand-Healer's Robe looks like this:

To stack bonuses from tissues from a single article of clothing requires for 2 or more slots in the schematic to call for either synthetic cloth or reinforced fiber panels (depending on what you want to stack). If the schematic calls for identical components in a sigle slot, then those multiple units of tissue will not stack. Going back to the example of the Grand-Healer's Robe, if you were to add to slot 5, three identical synthetic cloths treated with a +14 active biosensor and 2 untreated synthetic cloths to slot 6, you would get a Grand-Healer's Robe that gave you a +14 bonus to your injury and wound treatment skills when worn, even though you had to add three +14 tissues. However, if you added the treated cloth to both slots 5 and 6, you would have a +25 bonus to those skills (even though 14+14=28, remember +25 is the highest possible bonus), but you would have had to use 5 tissues to get that bonus.

As of this writing, there is no single article of clothing that could stack tissues added to reinforced fiber panels. Also, no Bio-Engineer could make any one tissue with a +25 bonus by itself. To get a +25 bonus for an RFP tissue, you would have to wear multiple articles of clothing.

Jewelry, gloves, footwear, belts and backpacks cannot be enhanced by tissues.

Skill tapes are item loots from mobs that enhance skills just like tissues. They look like a roll of scotch tape and are not craftable by anyone. They can be placed into any clothing items (except backpacks) that have sockets. The maximim number of sockets any piece of clothing may have is 4. To place a skill tape into an item, just move the tape over the item you want it attached to. If the item has any available sockets, it'll take the tape.

Tailors do not control how many sockets any creation will have, although the closer you are to master, the more frequently you'll turn out 4 sockets.

Hope this helps
