Tailoring guide for classic?
 

I’m looking to start tailoring on green. Does anybody have a good beginners guide? I found the one on the wiki that had some recipes but seems rather vague. Any tailoring for beginners?
Thanks!

not exactly what you're looking for but Loramin added a bunch of era tags to the tailoring page on the wiki.
https://wiki.project1999.com/Tailoring

edit: the more I look at this page the less helpful it appears to be for green. uhh

This site has been around for a long time and have guide's for all trade skills
some older and some newer:

http://www.eqtraders.com/articles/ar...r=040000000000

What specifically are you looking for? Something like a guide that tells you "make X until this level" or something like that?

I think that's it yes.
I couldn't find anything like that for Pure Vanilla Classic.
Lots of guides for velious tailoring out there though. :(

The wayback machine lets us see that same site, as if it were 1999, which eliminates all the "some newer" parts:

https://web.archive.org/web/19991128...eqtraders.com/

The "Tailoring Guide" at that point was: https://web.archive.org/web/19991128...eqtraders.com/

The Wayback Machine has other snapshots of EQTraders.com (and lots of other sites too of course), so I'd strongly encourage anyone looking for classic tradeskill info to start there.

Ultimately though I think there are two separate things we need to figure out:

1. which recipes were classic?
2. of those recipes, which are the cheapest for each trivial level?

Wayback can help us figure out #1, but once we have that anyone can work out #2.

And then once we have all that, it should be pretty easy to either have a separate "Green skill up guide", or just to have one skill-up guide for both Blue and Green, with a few entries having "era templates" added to clarify "in classic you want to do classic recipe ___ instead of ___ (some Kunark/Velious recipe) at ___ trivial".

If possible, I think the latter would be better, because remember "Green" won't stay the same forever: someday it will have Kunark and then Velious, and then someday it will roll around back to classic. If we can get it right, I think it'd be ideal to have one wiki page handle all those eras, rather than needing separate pages or sections for each era, all of which would be trying to hit a "moving target" of Green.

Frankly I never understood why the other tradeskills don't have a simple list of items like the Alchemy page does. And you can just sort them all at once. In my opinion the alchemy page should be the template for other tradeskills. Also it has a nice skill guide at the top.
idk maybe that's just my opinion

The tradeskills for sure need some going over.
If anyone wants to help contribute towards the wiki, hint hint

Train to 21. Tattered armour to 26, (leather padding 31, using wolves,) raw silk to 36, tailored large bags to 41, bearskin potion bags if possible to 68, hand made backpack to 88, tailored quiver to 115.

You can intersperse studded to 56 and reinforced to 108, especially if you are also smithing.

If brewing you can also cured silk to 82 and wu's gloves to 88... Maybe not from launch. I know the gloves were added much earlier than the other options.

For the love of God, don't do what I did (twice).

Twenty years ago I was annoyed when I found out Raw Silk Robe was not made with a Robe pattern but a Tunic pattern.

Fast forward to last week after finding out about P99 and yep, sure enough my first attempt was with Robe pattern. The 20-year-deja-vu on my face was priceless...
