alittle advice please 270tailor.

[Adrius]

ok, well im at 270tailor atm, and its my only last that isnt 300, since the patch taking solstice down to 252 trival.

ive been going about this with wood elf cultural armor and ice burrower armor. which kinda sucks, hard to get excellent sabertooth tiger hides, and foraging the oak barks really sucks, ice burrower's are pretty limited and the silks are kinda rare.

currently im foraging the oak bark in kithikor forest, which is very slow, have you guys found foraging them in WWoods, anybetter?

and allso you guys got any suggestions into any other tailor combines i could do that are simular to these or are easyer. any info at all would help, my tailors moving so slow =p, i would really appricate any kind of feedback.

It is a groundspawn as well in BB. That is usually where i get them. There were a few spots i had marked which seemed to be static

[Adrius]

theres quite afew of em in bb?, i tired looking for some but i had no luck.

If you are going to forage Oak Bark your best bet is Kithcor. Warsilk Woods is ok for foraging but I found Kithkor to have a better forage rate and it is close to Rivendel for banking and other such goodies.

Good luck,

I think Warsilk Woods has a larger forage table than Kithicor does. I have to agree that Kithicor Forest is probably your best bet for oak bark, though. I've never found any of the ground spawns in Butcher Block. If you don't like doing Wood Elf Emerald combines, try the Master's DoN cultural items. You will need to collect Shissar Scales, but that's the only farmed item for skill up combine attempts. You could work on Master's Brambleborn Sleeves until 290. (1 shissar scale per attempt - the rest store bought unless you need to replace your Ancestral Wood Elf Armor Book). After 290, it's Master's Brambleborn Greeves/Curiass until 300. These require 3 Shissar scales per skill up.

"These require 3 Shissar scales per skill up."

DANG!
I better hurry and get me 312 shissar scales and GM tailoring in one night

Sorry, yea I know what ya meant If only it were this way tho

[Adrius]

wow shissar scales only! omfg thanks man ive gotta do that 1, omg! thats all you need shissar scales dude that ROCKS! thanks a ton for the info

[Eggszecutor]

Yea. DoN cultural is still kind of a secret right now. Once it gets out, it will probably be the best way to skill up. My guild goes to Ssra Temple twice a week so I get a good amount of scales.

Master's Brambleborn Sleeves (290)
-(1) fier' dal needle
-(1) large spool of mithril thread
-(1) pattern for wood elven sleeves
-(1) master's brambleborn swatch
subcombines for swatch:
-(1) small spool of mithril thread
-(1) shissar scales
-(1) fier' dal needle

Sorry I know what ya meant

Opps. Yea, if only it worked that way we'd all be master's.

as a high elf, i wish i could use shissar scales. we don't have any leather, so my only DoN tailoring at the master level involves storm volaas hairs. patently unfair that my only recourse uses 2 rare-ish drops from a zone no one hunts, no one raids, from mobs that are 60-65 (so not solo-able for a lvl 70 cleric). compare with shissar scales, which drop from mobs as low as 52, as a relatively common drop, and from a zone folks still frequent.

(was there a thread anywhere for addressing this sort of discrepancy in the availability of DoN master's-level tailoring components from race to race? i'm sure the racnar-hide folks have fired up somewhere...)

[Wyvernwill]

There was a thread on the variation between Smithing components, but not tailoring to my knowledge. Overall, I do find it strange that some drop in raid zones, some drop in group required spots and some are easily soloable... but I guess it just goes to highlight one constant in EQ... You'll go insane if you try to figure it out lol.

[Adrius]

this Master's Brambleborn Sleeves recipe is really awsome, thanks for the info so much i really appricate it, very close to 300tailor now =)
