AV seem to have yet again forgotten about tailoring as 1 set of studded leather armor cost 160 gold in creation cost, then add 42 leather and 9 ingots and selling price is up around 350-400 gold to get any profit. Tailoring should be the cheaper option in armor so i dont get why it cost so fucking much just to make them, bone armor cost 285 gold, 35 leather and 49 bone to make!

So selling a bone armor for less than 500(22 gold profit..) gold would be a loss as you could just keep the 285 gold and sell the mats for better profit, bone is quite good armor but at the time anyone can make it im betting metal armor is much better because of all their master skills they also get that tailors dont.

Tailors need much love

I don't know if you should even make a profit from selling crafted items. There is no action house or anything like WoW. All crafting is geared to assisting your guilds progress and that is why I believe the profits are cut down to the bare minimum.

@Botji


the calculate is wrong, when i make 10 pieces Leather is 3 fails or so - i sell this Set for 650g and sometimes i make no Profit with one, when the fails are to much.

I got to tailoring 50 some days ago and I was sad when I couldn't make studded. Then the leather armor got added and I was really happy. I tried selling it to people and making some at minimal price for guild mates, and they just refuse. The freaking tailoring armors are so expensive compared to armorsmithing ones its insane. Why would someone buy a full leather set for 200 gold when they can get scale for 80 gold and still shoot a bow perfectly fine. Thanks for adding the leather armor Devs but the requirements really need to be turned down.

Well, I'm selling a lot of gloves and boots since I can sell below vendor...there is some benefit for leather for camouflage - but the bonuses over dropped leather really aren't that great. A fraction of a point does not get them buying crafted armor when it drops just as good off of fairly easy mobs.

Still! I'm happy I can make it at all.

Now that's a little ridiculous statement. Crafting at higher levels should be self sustaining job, not (ONLY) a kind of support job for big clans. And - if a clan has a source of cheap looted gear, how would the expensive crafted one assist its progress?

What do you want? Cloth shoulder guards? LOL yeah, those will be pretty effective! Think about it.
