Thread: Does the Crafter's Apron help?

I am so tired of getting 2 or no sockets!!! I have a chance to buy a tailor apron, but in the past it has been no help to a master tailor and just a waist of money. My question now is, with the new socket problem does it help at all? 350k is alot of money to spend on something that doesn't help or work properly so I just wanted some input before I went out and waisted that kind of money.

It does not help with sockets. As far as I can tell, its only real use is being able to get you half way to one extra experimentation point for the wookiee pillow.
Yes there are Clothing Experimentation skill tapes. It effects one thing and one thing alone, "wookie pillows". It's the only item we can experiment on, a Master gets the normal 10 experimentation points, 11 when they get +10 to their clothing experimentation from tapes or items, 12 when they reach the magic +20 and thats the limit.
Assembly certainly does help. I use a +26 assembly outfit and rarely get critical fails. It actually goes upto +31 with my apron but anything over the 25 is useless which is a shame. Still I'd recommend any long term tailor to get hold of these tapes and one good piece of advice, wait until you've got your +25 in tapes before you actually put them in an outfit.
Now if they would just fix the repair system so my repair tapes worked then my outfit would be almost perfect, +31 assembly, +17 (for now) experimentation & +17 repair.
No kidding. I so wish I had done this. I'm pretty much going to start over if I decide to actively stay in tailoring. I have +18 atm and would be impossible to hit 25 in that outfit. You know what they say though, live and learn.

No, no, no. You can only put one tape for each skill type in each piece of clothing. My +11 is in my Refined skirt, +6 in my Lekku wraps, you've just gotta keep an eye on what tapes you get otherwise you end up with more tapes than you can use at once and then have to get more even higher ones to make you upto the limit. I made that mistake with my Dancing outfit. Got to about +10 mind enhancement before I had no more items left to put tapes in, well no more items I wanted to wear I refused to wear a belt with that outfit!
For a tailoring outfit there's 2 types of tapes you want, 3 for when they fix repairing. Assembly, Experimentation and Repair. Once items at 0 condition are made useless in whichever publish it comes in then repairing is going to be something requested much more than now.
