Thread: Tailor needs help with a custom order!

Well yeah, those items are probably quest items, unless some tailor out there has been naughtily renaming things. As for tissues, I am not sure how high they have gone after the CU. You may want to cross-post that question on the BE forum.
Definately cutom names if that is what they called 'em.
We do not have anything that actually is called that in any form.
and +15 is the highest the def tissue goes, so +14 should be more then acceptable.
as for sockets, assembly is suppossed to help with them, but that is truely up in the air.
Either bite the bullet and craft items useing your BE tissues up to get the sockets,
or let them know how random it actually is and see if they are willing to accept less sockets
either way do not feel ashamed to charge for the time or the extra tissue used in the attempts to craft their outfits.

Novawolf Shirt? There's no such schematic for this type of shirt, it might be however, a different shirt that has been renamed by a crafter. If the player is asking for a replacement for something he has that is already called this, ask him/her to examine it and see what it says under the description.
Jedi gloves, no such schematic named this, however, many jedi just buy leather work gloves.
+15/+15 melee/ranged tissues are only possible with perfect resources, perfect resources are rare and hard to find. The best tissues you'll probably be able to find are the +14/+14. Only certain types of jackets, shirts, pants and bandoliers can have this mod in it. Gloves, belts and footwear cannot be BE modded. Hats are non-combat BE modded. Even if the person wore a jacket, shirt, pants and bando, all with +14's in them, they cap at +25, so the extra 31 points of mod are wasted.
The only way I've found to increase your chance of sockets, remember, they are random, is to be a master tailor and get an inspiration buff from an entertainer. The inspiration buff seems to help me get a better chance at getting sockets and more of them.
+16 appears to be the highest that Melee/Ranged tissues can go, but they need near-godly resources from what my BE was telling me. I do have some +16's at the moment so they do get that high

I get custom orders like that sometimes. I usually tell them that sockets are random (unless they pay me to try), explain tissues can only go to certain slots, then point them to Tiaga's website for a listing of all the items. if they refuse to list, I tell them to find another tailor

More or less what I do also.

Never Heard of this, search my vendor for a item that looks like what your thinking of, or its a loot/quest item that ive never heard of (ive got all tailor made shirts on my vendor)
- Jedi gloves
See above

Shirt Choice is limited in shirts with ranged/melee defence so may not get what he wants anyway. 3 sockets i find about 50% chance or so, let him know if he wants 3 sockets id let him either pay 2x the cost, or take a risk and just pay for each fail as they come. And i think +14 is low, but resource cost has changed and the new resource may not be a good for that particular BE, i expect many BE wont be ontop notch quality for a while yet, in any case he only needs 2 items with that tissue in to max, weather its +14 or +15 makes no difference, still only +25 in total.
Thanks in advance

By the way, I have +18 (and even a few +20) melee/ranged BE tissues; quite a few +17; some +16; and a small number of other bonuses.
I have some +18 Ranged/Melee def tissues +18 terrain neg/unarmed DAM I know they can go higher because I havent reached Max experimentation so its likely they can reach 20 if you have the best of all the resources to ever spawn for these items
Really? and what servers are you on?
