Transferring Appearance

1. Purchase a Tailoring Kit. NOTE: You can NOT Tailor an item that is Retained (Leather Applied). You may use sandstone salvage to remove the retained property on loot armor, however.
2. Apply Tailoring Kit to the armor, clothing, or cloak with the desired look (Warning: Item is destroyed and converted to an applicator that looks like the old armor icon with a big arrow on it).
3. Apply newly created applicator to the item with the desired stats. The icon and appearance will change to that of the destroyed item and keep the same stats.
4. The two items must cover the same slots (for example upper legs, lower legs). See Armor Coverage for which armor occupies which slots
   • Note: This rule also extends to armor pieces that have been reduced. i.e. you cannot reduce a coat to cover the chest and then transfer its appearance to a breastplate, only to another coat. This also means that a piece that has been reduced can only be tailored with pieces that match it's original coverage.
5. You can change an item's appearance more than once (so technically you could also revert a piece to its original appearance if you found a new piece with the old look).

Reducing Multi-Slot to Single-Slot

    

You are now able to change armor pieces that cover more than one area to single coverage. For example, an Amuli coat normally covers the Chest, Lower Arms, and Upper Arms. This has historically made multi-slot armor less desirable because it limits the total number of items you can wear at the same time. More items can mean more beneficial spells available to you. Also, in Shedding Skin some multi-coverage items were changed to single coverage, including Long Gauntlets (Hand and Lower Arms to just Hands) and Shorts (Abdomen and Upper Legs to just Abdomen).

Upper body armor is changed to only cover the Chest, similar to a Breastplate. Lower body armor is changed to only cover the Abdomen or Girth area.

1. Purchase an Armor Reduction Tool Writ for 50 MMD from one of the tailors listed above.
2. Give the Armor Reduction Tool Writ to the Tailor's Apprentice standing beside the tailor to obtain an Armor Reduction Tool (the timer is on giving the writ, so you may want to purchase new ones when your timer expires, even if you won't use it right away).
3. Use the tool on a piece of lower or upper body armor that covers more than one area. The item will still display itself the same, though it only covers the chest or abdomen now. For example, an Amuli coat would still display sleeves.

• Coats convert to Chest
• Sleeves convert to pauldrons
• Three slot leggings convert to girth
• Two slot leggings convert to tassets

Armor Layering Tools

    

    

Because you can now have armor items that do not offer protection over areas that they cover visually, it is possible for other items to override this visual display or to be hidden by it. You can alter specific armor pieces so that they either are displayed or are hidden by using either an Armor Layering Tool (Bottom) or an Armor Layering Tool (Top). These tools cost 1 MMD and can be purchased from one of the tailors listed above.

Use the Top tool to make a piece override other pieces, use a Bottom tool to revert a piece to its default position.

Armor Reduciton Tools

    

    

    

Sold by Master Tailors in Holtburg, Sanamar, Shoushi and Yaraq for 50 MMDs also See Multi-slot Armor Teaser for more details.

• Warning: If you convert a multi-slot item to a single slot item, you cannot then use it to transfer the appearance to a single slot piece. For example if you converted a coat to only cover chest, then used a Tailoring Kit, you cannot transfer it to a breastplate.

Displaying Headgear and Cloaks

While not technically tailoring, an option was added to allow you to not display your headgear and cloaks. It is toggled via the Character Options panel with check boxes called "Show Your Helm or Head Gear" and "Show your Cloak".
