Planar Tailoring Qustion

[pennyrose]

I have been working for some time on various tradeskills with different alts. I had not paid much attention to the PoP recipes, with the exception of baking and tinkering which seemed very straightforward, because I belong to a small, family-oriented guild that was not in a position to do any planar exploring and because I find the planar recipes confusing, probably because of their interdependence.

Lately some of my guildies have graduated to planar groups on the first tier planes, PoI, PoN, PoJ, PoD. I need to know what to ask them to save for me for planar recipes that I might use to skill up and/or create things for sale in bazaar or for my use for my characters or as gifts.

I do have the printed out recipes for tailoring, but I am not sure which of them would be useful for me to try, if any. Tailoring is one of my lower skills at 193 and inching up slowly. (IMHO, tailoring is hands down the toughest tradeskill out there. Kudos to you guys you have stuck with it!)

Right now I am skilling up using a combination of acrylia reinforced armor, celestial solstice robes and mostly futile attempts at arctic wyvern and cobalt drake items. Are there any planar recipes with components I might reasonably buy or obtain which I could add to that mix? I find it helps keep my interest if I can attempt some new and different items, even if my success rate is abyssmal. Or should I just forget about planar tailoring until I am at or near 250?

It may help you tailor your advice a little to my specific situation if you know I have the following skills: pottery 232, baking 230, brewing 210, jc 200, fishing 200, tailoring 193, smithing 189, tinkering 188, fletching 174.

Thanks for any advice you can offer.

First off: gratz of GM'ing 3 trade skills, and nearly the rest of them.

Most of the planar recipees are >250 but at 193 a combine is a combine. Also, I belive you'd have better than a 5% chance of success (though not a whole lot better). Go over the recipees for the Nightmare silks/leathers. Those are the most common from the tier 1 PoP zones.

Also, get your brewing up to 220, you'll thank yourself later when you have skill restricted combines that require skill restricted brewing combines for the temper. While I'm not sure your goal is to GM tailoring, I'll make that assumption until told otherwise.

You might want to get familiar with PoS drops for tailored recipees (including the tempers once again) as the jump from tier 1 to PoS is a matter of a few levels and a decent trials group. (also, alot more time is spent in PoS and PoV than PoN. Xp is way better there.)

btw: to do these reciepees you'll need access to a 62 chanter (or the appropriate class/diety to imbune) to imbune raw diamonds for the symbols. Hope ya have some friends.

Now I haven't tried any PoP stuff yet, but I was under the impression that we couldn't even try to combine them until we had a skill of 220 (raw, less if modified). At least that's still what it currently says on the PoP tailoring page. So skilling up on PoP stuff isn't possible until we reach this skill level, right? I'm nearing this point as well and several people from my guild are also entering the first planes (myself included), and was looking ahead at supplies as well.

I know the Ethereal pieces for the quest armors in PoP are skill restricted to a raw skill of 220, I am not totally sure on the rest of it, as the components for PoP tradeskills are quite rare, I have made some Blacksmithing, pottery, and jewelry items from the Tier 2 planes and a few Tier 3, but never really tried the tailoring items.
