Tailoring leveling up

[Ciksharn]

Anyone have any tips for hitting 208 tailoring for the coldain shawl 6? it looks absolutely brutal once Wu's stuff becomes trivial

I feel like a lot of people take tailoring to the early 160's and go for the combine there.

Is there a reason for early 160s? it looks like 158 is where it hits a wall.

Edit: 162 is triv for all combines except the last for 6

Tips: Get max wis or int, whichever you have highest (ench buff helps here). Get max dex (ench or sham). Have multiple stacks of mat's ready for a run of combines. Wyvern hide gear (from cs) probably best here. Then do an extended run of tailoring, dropping stuff on the ground, so you use those buffs. Gluck!

Its far faster/easier to refarm the drops (Siren/Manticore/Wolf etc) than to try skilling tailoring to 208

Theres a chart somewhere, but iirc its around 52-55% success chance at 158 skill

This is the chart you're thinking of:

cant use skill up points at the trainer to get a boost over 160?

[Kavious]

Trainer can only get you to 21

having done the quest 3x and doing the combine at 158.. failed once, would do that again instead of the tailoring grind

[Ciksharn]

failed one so far but having a ton of trouble killing wolves for the whisker, i think i got 2 drops in <10 mobs the first time and now im thru ~100 with only one, ive been killing the ones in GD near the EW zone line. are there wolves elsewhere with a higher drop rate or am i just getting extremely unlucky?

Wolf Whiskers are kinda rare. But i normally got 4 in a couple of sessions of killing. As far as I know GD in the EW zoneline area is the only pace to hunt them.

Just to share my horror story I failed this combine 6 times, and pushed my tailoring up to 175(ish) for the last couple of attempts.

Even so, it was probably easier than getting to 208 on Velious combines!
