Yes, another Tailor in the game

I used to be a Rifleman, Ch, ranger combination character, but I decided that crafting is my cup of tea.
I checked out the various professions in the my PA and noticed I would be the first Tailor in my PA.

So I started, I grinding. Relinqueshed some skills to get more skill points. I started grinding a few barrels and such, but quickly noticed I got more exp grinding mineral survey devices. So I quickly grinded all the way up to engineering IV and started grinding Heavy Axes and personal mineral/wind installations all the way to master Artisan. Now I've taken up novice Tailor and I'm very excited to get started doing some real Tialoring stuff. A friend of mine has become bio Engineer, so he and I will be setting up shop very soon.

I will probably not grind my way up to master Tailor, but instead craft clothing to put in my PA vendor and bazaar.

If any of you guys got any tips, please feel free to enlighten me and I'll gladly apply your advice.

greets from a novice Tailor on Naritus.

Hey! Welcome to the forums and welcome to the world of tailor!!

I don't think there is to much talk about grinding and macro's here.. but I will give you a few hints because I admit that I do grind

You want to grind on Ribbed Shirts and you specifically want to go up fieldware first. There are two reasons for this. Fieldware 4 has a cartridge belt that you can grind on and get 300XP per, ribbed shirts give 150xp. The second good reason to go up fieldware is it's a great tree to go up first because it has a lot of the essentials. I was able to sell a lot of stuff with that tree prior to working on my other stuff. Probably because the majority of people in the game are guys and fieldware has all the good jackets and pants and undershirts.

It's a really fun proffesion, atleast I think so

Ribbed shirts it is and later on catridge belt then.

I've been making alot of smocks and selling them under the name Leather Trenchcoat. I don't believe i'm giving people a false impression by doing this, because they do really do look like trenchcoats. Anyway, they are not real good to grind due to reasonable high resource cost and time investment, but I noticed they sell pretty well.

thanks for the advice and greets.

Check out my guide to tailoring, it's pretty extensive but well worth the read.

very useful and good guide..thanks

Ribbed shirts to Field III, Link steel gloves to Field IV, and cartridge belts for the rest.

I recommend going up the Tailor ladder second because it will reduce your failures and will also give you more colors/sockets on those rare times you're making stuff to sell on your way to master.

well, reached uniform marhsall recently.

I've almost done Tier 4 Tailoring 2 as well.

So that makes me 0/4/0/2 I think. Anyway I must admit I grinded my way up mostly, but in the mean time I also sold Smocks(trenchcoat) on the bazaar and at two differend other vendors as well as backpacks(various kinds), belts, some Bio clothing with bleeding defense, pants, shirts...in short the whole works. I must have created one of each minimum(and in some cases maximum) along the way, up to the point that I don't have a factory yet to create items that require factory components. I must have created 50 smocks minimum btw and they sell pretty good at 900 per smock.

The grinding was boring, but those cartidge belt give 299 exp per grind, so that's already way better than 180 from linked gloves and 150 from ribbed shirts(with practice enabled of course)

WhenI reach 0404 i'll stop grinding for a little while and set up some serious bussines. I already have factory acces and I can get my hands on resources with any luck, so soon i'[ll be producing Dusters of various types, suits, etc(in short everything that sells pretty nicely and requires factory components).

so far for my update

Bump

Just pick something that uses the most/easiest to get resources.

My personal choice is Soft Undershirts. 90 exp per, relatively low resource requirement.
