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-honoured 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.

Refinement

Syntax
REFINE <item> WITH GOLD

REFINE <item> WITH <item>

Power: 10 (general)

Whenever you craft an item, there is a valuation based on the number of commodities and your own skill. If the valuation is high enough, you can use it to trade with aethertraders who occasionally visit aetherbubbles and announce their presence on the MARKET channel. They will only trade a limited amount of items and you will have to compete with other merchants to find them.

Refinement is the process of increasing the valuation of a crafted item with another crafted item of the EXACT same craft design. This will combine the valuation of the two items into one item and can be done repeatedly until the valuation reaches a maximum valuation. You can also bypass this process by simply using gold to increase the valuation, though this costs 12,000 gold per refinement. Also, it costs 10 power per refinement whichever method is used. Refinement also increases the decay time on any item refined.

You can see the valuation when you PROBE crafted tailoring items.

The epitome of every tailor is to create for him or herself an outfit of splendor. The fit of a splendor outfit is such that only the tailor it is made for can wear it.

Splendor outfits seem to have a life of their own, and creating another will cause the previous one to disintegrate in a fit of jealousy.

Splendour robes have an additional enhancement slot, for a total of three.
