| style="background:lightyellow"|Anyone may learn the tailoring trade skill. If you are a resident of a city or commune, you will automatically be a member of the tailoring cartel in that location and able to use the unique patterns of that cartel. This time honored profession begins by learning to sew basic clothes items and then progresses to creating fashions of higher and higher quality and prestige. Master tailors will be able to imbue certain clothes items to protect against certain elements, such as fire or cold. Finally, tailors will eventually be able to produce great robes, much desired by enchanters. The greatest creation is a splendor outfit which only the tailor him- or herself may wear. NOTE: This is not a trade skill recommended for those in the knight class (as you can't wear armour and splendor outfits at the same time). You must be in a tailor's workshop to sew.
