Tailoring

[ashana]

Hi guys and devs
I must say I have enjoyed getting torn to shreds more than I should with the new update.
I do have a question about the tailoring skills: How does it work ?
I have been able to repair my clothing and put on ripped sheets for a bit more defence but I saw on vids and in forum posts that you can get leather strips. Is this skill related or do i need tools ?

You need needle and thread.

You need scissor or hunting knife to rip denim and leather.

Can't wait for 42, when you will be able to hunt, imagine being able to craft deer hide jacket.

I have sissors,knives and needles but I can't seem to do it
Do you need to reach a certain level?

[ocelot629]

all you need is a needle, thread and either rags, leather scraps or denim scraps (note that dirty versions cannot be used for tailoring)

Then you can add padding to clothing to give it extra protection or stitch up holes in various clothing to fix insulation and add back some protection.


not sure what levelling the skill "tailoring" does yet though...

edit: scissors are only needed for ripping leather/denim clothing

grab the long jackets that give the most defense. they are leather. also belts can be cut up into leather. i am not sure about holsters as i have only had 1 and never looked to see if it could be cut up. interesting idea for protection. hoping that higher levels of tailoring will let you make leather armor!
