Clothing Crafting Mechanics

Crafting clothing involves 3 unique processes which will be covered through out the Item Categories below:

1. Socket Crafting
2. Bio-Engineer Tissue Enhancing
3. Armor Padding Crafting

Sockets

Sockets are slots where any player, tailor or not, can drop skill attachment tapes (which are looted) into a piece of clothing. All wearable items with the exception of jewelry could have sockets spawned into them. Clothing can have up to 4 sockets. Generally it's random, but you have a higher probability of making a higher-socketed item as you go up the "tailoring" line. For Domestic Arts items, however, the number of sockets is governed by the level in the Engineering line of Artisan. Artisans with the highest artisan assembly modifiers can create items with up to 4 sockets. Many times people want to use skill tapes as they have bonuses which cannot be obtained by buying bioengineered items.

There was a change to socketing which makes it more unlikely to get 4-socketed items, and most master tailors averaged 2 sockets per item. Tailoring items may not contain sockets until the player has achieved Tailoring 3. The amount of sockets seems to be capped depending on what level of assembly the tailor/artisan has.

Bioengineered Clothing

Components tissues made by Bio-Engineers are used to add skill modifiers to clothing items. You use them in Synthetic Cloths and Reinforced Fiber Panels as enhancement slot items. Once the clothing component has been created using a Bio Engineered tissue item, the modifiers are transferred into the component and when the component is used to create a piece of clothing, the modifiers are transferred into this as welll. When the clothing is equipped you gain the modifiers. Any item that can accept a Reinforced Fiber Plast Panel or a Synthethic Cloth can have mods added into it. Modifiers added in via multiple (different slot) components stack. Meaning if a clothing item has 2 seperate slots for placing in enhanced subcomponents, then has has two enhanced subcomponents with similar mods placed; it will cause the modifiers to stack in effect up to the cap of 25 per stat. Tissues are restricted by which component they are allowed to go into. Furthermore, BE mods cannot be transferred into armor,even though armor can accept components enhanced with BE tissues. Only clothing can receive these modifiers. The following is a listing of tissues and the component to which they are paired with.

Armor Padding Crafting

Armor padding crafting for Tailors involves crafting Padding Segments which is required for the various Kashyyykian Wookie armor items. A tailor uses Clothing Experimentation modifiers for experimenting on these items.
