[Passenger]

The following updates were made to Tailoring between 1999 and 2001:

September 1999
- Whip Pattern (Item)

Reposted from Dolalin's thread. I didn't notice it had been moved to Resolved before I submitted it:

I logged on, and checked around Neriak and Rivervale. It appears that the new
patterns were only added to the merchants that formerly sold Backpack patterns,
and Large Sewing kits. I also bought the instructions availble from the
vendors, and noticed that they still do not mention how to make Quivers or
Fleeting Quivers, nor do they explain what to do with the new Whip pattern. And
at 1pp each, I didn't feel like experimenting with them. Has anyone found out
how to use the Whip pattern yet?

Several people have e-mailed me with a new addition to tailoring.

It is now possible to create Tailored Quivers. Combine a High Quality
Cat Skin with a Quiver Pattern in a sewing kit. This will create a
quiver, which is a six slot item that will hold only arrows.

Offhand, it looks mostly useless. However, the quivers are *not*
trivial at skill 108 (the previous max with backpacks). I'm told
quivers can get you as high as skill 115, which would provide for an
added measure of security in making backpacks with minimal failures.

I'll be updating my tailoring web page with this information once I
get done doing some more testing myself.

the book that explains how to make quivers appear in firiona vie, on the
fletching merchants.

According to Alakhazam's, there's a new tailoring recipe: two
spiderLING silks now make a "silk thread". Anyone know what these are
good for yet...?

2 silk threads combined make a silk bandage. How a silk bandage is different
than a reguler bandage im not sure.

This Oct 2000 capture of EQTradeskills notes the recent updates.

Lokari also documented the change (Aug2000 vs Oct2000).

Yakatizma confirms the recipes split over Aug/Sept:

Tailoring
[Quote from original post: This is concerning recent updates in taloring for
Spiderling silk.

According to new formalas:

1. Spiderling Silk+Spiderling Silk = Silk Thread
2. Silk Thread +LQ pelt (any?) =Leather BAcking
3. Silk Thread + Silk Thread = Silk Bandage
4. Silk Thread+Silk Thread+Silk Thread=Silk Cord
5. Silk Cord + LQ Pelt (any?) = small bag

Now, I have a concern if ANY LQ pelt can be used for number 2 and 5.

Also, I tried #2 with LQ Wold Pelt and got: These items DO NOT combine in such quanoties!"

HELP!!!]

Only the thread and bandage recipes are on live at the moment, the others are still on test.

Gating the Silk Thread combine would block the Silk Bandages. Gating the Silk Cord combine would block all of the tailored containers. The Leather Padding combine, however, uses silk threads and would need to be gated separately for Sep 2000.

May 2001

- Tailoring Quivers (Item - Recipe Book - Updated)

EQTraders notes its status prior to May 2001:

fleeting quiver

There is NO recipe for this item. It was confirmed by Yakatizma on April 7, 2001 that this item does not exist (though the pattern is sold by merchants).

Patch Day.
...
I normally don't talk a lot about what's going on over on the Test server, though we randomly get updates from the Test tradesfolk when something is coming through that will impact the trade community. After all, it is Test, and things can/will/do change often on Test before they hit the live servers. (And I absolutely refuse, under any situation to post recipes/stats on the main part of my site until it's verified as "live".) However, an accomplishment last night on Test deserves a little cheering. The fleeting quiver has been very much a "holy grail" type item for tailors and archers for 2 years now, and finally, the recipe was put in place on Test. Given the difficulty of obtaining the needed ingredients on Test, and the fact that there is a much smaller tradesfolk community on Test, extra kudos go to Uind and Gyodokan for reporting the first known success on a fleeting quiver on Test last night about half an hour before the servers went down. Well done! I'm sure the folks on the live servers will quickly follow suit once the servers are back up. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

They've also finally implimented the fleeting quiver recipe, which
uses one of the other mana vials now...

It appears the recipe book, Tailoring Quivers, was updated to reflect the new recipe. Compare Lokari's list of tailoring books (Apr2001 vs Jul2001).

Despite the recipes not being implemented, the Quiver Pattern and Fleeting Quiver Pattern appear to have been in-game from launch.
