Tailoring

Tailoring produces cloth clothing, leather and studded armor, footwear, bone armor and some of the shard's most sought-after recipe-gated pieces — the Leaf armor set and the leather and studded mempos. On Renaissance-era Sagas, colored leather gives armor its built-in magic level, making the Grandmaster tailor a genuine armor smith. See the Crafting Overview for the general model.

Tools and workplace

Everything is sewn with a sewing kit — no loom, spinning wheel or other station is required, so you can tailor anywhere. Sewing kits are made by tinkers (see Tinkering); kits from colored metal have more uses and boost your exceptional chance. Scissors (also tinker-made) cut your raw cloth.

Materials

	Material	Source	Used for
	Cloth	Cut a bolt of cloth with scissors → 50 cloth	All clothing; footwear
	Leather	Skinning creatures	All armor and footwear
	Bone	Skeletal creatures	Bone armor (plus leather)
	Enchanted Bark	Rare drop	Leaf armor and leather mempo (plus leather)

Cloth and bolts are dyeable, so clothing is usually dyed after crafting. Leather armor instead takes its color from the leather tier it is made from:

Armor made from colored leather rolls a protection level and a durability level, capped by the tier above — with your tool's material and your Luck nudging the roll. See Resources for the full material reference.

What you can craft

Clothing (cloth). Hats (0–32 skill), shirts, dresses and tunics (0–58), pants and skirts (20–54), cloaks (41–66) and robes (54–79), plus sashes, aprons and oil cloth. Clothing has no armor value — it's fashion, dye it any color you like.

Footwear (cloth + leather). Sandals (12), shoes (17), boots (33) and thigh boots (41).

Leather armor. The bread-and-butter suit:

Female variants (bustiers, skirts, shorts, female chests) sit in the 58–87 range. A leather Quiver (80–100, 10 leather) rounds out the archer's kit.

Studded armor. The heavier leather line, 79–120 skill, 6–14 leather per piece — the studded chest (94–120) is a classic Grandmaster trainer. The studded mempo (80–110) is recipe-gated.

Bone armor. 85–121 skill, needs leather plus bones — from the bone helm (85) up to the bone chest (96–121). Includes the orc helm.

Leaf armor. The full Leaf set (80–110 skill) — gorget, arms, gloves, legs, tonlet and chest — each needs Enchanted Bark equal to its leather cost and a learned recipe. The leather mempo (80–110, 5 leather + 5 bark) is gated the same way.

Repair Deeds are also craftable — one per material tier (regular, shadow, copper, bronze, verite, valorite). Each costs 20 of that tier's material and needs the skill that tier normally requires.

Exceptional quality

Tailoring has a 50% minimum success chance on every recipe. Exceptional armor gets a higher armor rating and +20 durability, and with 100+ skill you can affix your maker's mark. The exceptional-chance penalty also eases as your skill climbs past 95 — a maxed tailor turns out exceptional pieces reliably. Leather armor and clothing are repairable with the sewing kit.

Raising the cap to 120

Tailoring reaches 120 via Crafting skill scrolls. The payoff: Valorite leather needs 120 skill — the only route to Invulnerability-capped leather and studded armor. It also lifts your success odds on the top recipes (studded chest, bone chest) that only max out at 120+.

Training path

Buy bolts of cloth from tailor shops for the early stretch; from the leather stage onward, either hunt-and-skin your own leather or buy it. Crafted leather armor can be cut back into leather with scissors, recovering part of your material on the pieces you don't sell.
