Tailoring
Ever find yourself in a situation where you just had nothing to wear? Well with the Tailoring skill, you'll never find yourself in that situation again!
With tailoring, not only can you create a wide variety of clothing but you are also able to craft armors of many different sorts. Using the hides from freshly skinned animals you can create light weight leather armor as well as the slightly heavier and more protective studded armor. Using the bones of creatures, a tailor can even craft armor from these rather strange armor materials.
Like Blacksmithy and Bowcrafting, Arms Lore compliments this skill so it is recommended that you max out Arms Lore before you build Tailoring.
