Frostreaver Tailoring Guide - Tailoring in Halas

Frostreaver Tailoring Guide: Caradawc

This guide documents Caradawc's Tailoring progression on the Frostreaver server, with the emphasis on using materials already accumulated during the campaign and making useful finished products wherever practical.

Caradawc's current Tailoring skill is 54.

Current plan: The Tailoring guide is divided into two material-based routes: Silks and Pelts. The two routes have dependencies on Caradawc's other tradeskills, particularly Brewing and Blacksmithing.

Section One: Silks

Caradawc has accumulated substantial quantities of both Spider Silk and Spiderling Silk. The silk route allows these materials to be converted into tailoring products while also producing useful components for other tradeskills.

Silk Swatch

Component	Quantity
Spider Silk	2

Trivial: 15

Silk Swatches are the basic intermediate used for Raw Silk and Cured Silk armour.

Raw Silk Armour

Raw Silk armour uses one Silk Swatch and the appropriate armour pattern. The individual armour pieces trivial at 36.

The pieces that use one Silk Swatch are preferred for conserving the silk supply; tunics and pants require two swatches.

Spider Silk ×2 → Silk Swatch → Raw Silk Armour

Heady Kiola

Cured Silk armour requires Heady Kiola. Heady Kiola is produced through Brewing and is not available from Halas vendors.

Component	Quantity
Packet of Kiola Sap	2
Water Flask	1
Bottle	1

Container: Brew Barrel
Brewing Trivial: 46

Brewing → Heady Kiola → Cured Silk Armour → Tailoring

Frostreaver note: Heady Kiola is not a Halas-vendor ingredient. Caradawc already has some Heady Kiola available, so it can nevertheless be used for the Cured Silk progression.

Cured Silk Armour

Cured Silk armour uses Silk Swatches together with Heady Kiola and the appropriate armour pattern. All Cured Silk armour pieces trivial at 82.

Cured Silk Mask

Component	Quantity
Silk Swatch	1
Heady Kiola	1
Mask Pattern	1

Trivial: 82

The Cured Silk Mask is the preferred Cured Silk piece for levelling because it uses only one Silk Swatch and one Heady Kiola.

Spider Silk → Silk Swatch + Brewing → Heady Kiola → Cured Silk Mask

Spiderling Silk: Silk Thread

Component	Quantity
Spiderling Silk	2

Trivial: 15

Silk Thread is not the main armour route, but it has a useful secondary application in Leather Padding.

Leather Padding

Component	Quantity
Silk Thread	1
Low Quality Pelt	1

Trivial: 31

Leather Padding is useful as a component for higher-level Blacksmithing, including Fine Plate work.

Spiderling Silk ×2 → Silk Thread → Leather Padding → Blacksmithing

Section Two: Pelts

The pelt route uses the different qualities of animal pelts for their corresponding armour lines. This lets Caradawc make use of ruined, low-quality and medium-quality pelts rather than treating them as interchangeable materials.

Tattered Leather Armour

Material: Ruined Pelt

Tattered Leather is the early leather armour route and provides a useful destination for ruined pelts.

Leather Armour

Material: Low Quality Pelt

Low Quality Pelts are used for the standard Leather armour line. They can also be used with Silk Thread to make Leather Padding where that is more useful.

Studded Leather Armour

Material: Medium Quality Pelt

Studded Leather requires not only the pelt and the appropriate tailoring pattern, but also Metal Studs.

Blacksmithing → Metal Studs → Studded Leather Armour

Studded Mask

Component	Quantity
Medium Quality Pelt	2
Metal Stud	1
Studded Mask Pattern	1

Trivial: 56

The Studded Mask is the most material-efficient Studded Leather piece for the early progression because it requires only one Metal Stud.

Caradawc is currently at Tailoring 54, making the Studded Mask the immediate pelt-based skill-up target to 56.

Metal Studs

Metal Studs are made through Blacksmithing and are then consumed by Studded Leather Tailoring recipes.

Blacksmithing → Metal Studs → Medium Quality Pelt + Pattern → Studded Leather

Current Tailoring Roadmap

Skill Range	Route	Materials Used
Initial → 36	Raw Silk Armour and other early tailoring	Spider Silk
36 → 54	Existing early tailoring work	Silks / armour materials
54 → 56	Studded Mask	Medium Quality Pelts + Metal Studs
56 → 82	Cured Silk Mask	Silk Swatches + Heady Kiola
82 → 88	Handmade Backpack	High Quality Bear or Rockhopper Pelt

Current material position: Caradawc has no High Quality Bear Pelts, so the Handmade Backpack route will depend on whether High Quality Rockhopper Pelts are available. We should not assume that route is immediately available.

Cross-Tradeskill Dependencies

Tailoring Material	Supporting Tradeskill	Used For
Heady Kiola	Brewing	Cured Silk Armour
Metal Studs	Blacksmithing	Studded Leather Armour
Silk Thread	Tailoring	Leather Padding
Leather Padding	Tailoring → Blacksmithing	Fine Plate and other smithing work
