A Quick Guide for Tailors

Tailors are very useful, making both light and medium armour, cloaks, burglar tools, captain armaments, rune-keeper rune-satchels and some cosmetic gear such as quivers and backpacks.

If you have a good supply of leather and just want to maximise your skill level as quickly and using as few materials as possible, processing the leather into scraps and back again, for 16 craft XP per cycle, is the best way to go.

If you are short of leather, you can reuse it, but after processing you will normally have half as much leather as you started with (although if you have reached proficiency you might occasionally crit and get 2 leather instead of 1 from the scraps).
