Tailoring

Crafting Skill

About the Skill:

Ever have one of those mornings where you just couldn’t bear to put on the same tunic yet again? With skill in Tailoring, you can make clothing of all styles, colors and patterns, and show off your taste in fashion!

While many items created by Tailors are of Cloth, as your skill improves you may learn special Tailoring Recipes and create armor out of exotic forms of Leather or even Bones.

Sadly, the "dressing up" side of Ultima Online is somewhat neglected as many players simply opt to wear Robes over their armor. Nevertheless, with a bit of imagination and a Dying Tub at hand, some fairly impressive costumes can be designed.

There is a special collection of Bulk Order Deeds available for Tailors to fill out. Returning these provides specially colored cloth and other items as rewards. For the Tailor in training, this extra cloth can be used to fill yet more BODs, extending the amount of time before you need to go and collect more resources to work with. For advanced players, Power Scrolls and Runic Sewing Kits may be earned.

Experienced Tailors can create Arcane Clothing which stores charges of magic power, allowing the wearer to cast spells without reagents.

How to train:

Here's a general list of what to make, but you should start your character with 50 tailoring skill - Save some time and gold. You'll need a Sewing Kit to work with. When purchasing bolts of cloth, look around in different cities, popular places will have much higher prices and can double your training cost. Also keep a pair of Scissors on hand, or perhaps a Salvage Bag - These can be used to recycle many items back into usable resources. Place your cloth into the salvage bag. The sewing kit does not have to be in the bag. Before you recycle, REMOVE the cut cloth to your backpack level, otherwise it will become bandages.
