Deluxe Sewing Kit  

 

Looking to buy one of these on Emarr, send me an in-game mail or a tell.

got one of these today.. only had to buy 1 stack of tokens

as of today 18 dec 2003 they are back in the game. i bought 10k in the tokens for the casino game and won two of them, he called the winning roll on both good rolls or something like that so there not common but there back none the less.

I had a guy offer me 7k for my deluxe sewing kit the other day.

They should bring these things back. They had a legitimate use. Tailoring items requiring more than 8 ingredients when you are far away from a loom. I don't see how these could possibly kill the tailored bag market, since there is no weight reduction. I would have preferred to see VI give tailored bags a bigger weight reduction and lower the amount that the bags themselves actually weigh, rather than take an amazingly useful item such as this out of game permanently.

When they made rockhopper hides usable in place of HQ bear skins and made them a lot easier to get than HQ bear skins, nobody complained. This encouraged people to take up tailoring to make their own bags for fun and profit and flooded the game with bags and people with the ability to make them. Has that hurt prices?? Not much by what I have seen. What makes you think the Deluxe Sewing Kit would have hurt the bag market?

And why hasn't anyone ******* about the Deluxe Toolbox in the same way that they ******* about this? It also holds 10 GIANT sized items and weighs .5 LESS than the Deluxe Sewing Kit!! You people should be in a bigger uproar over those than the sewing kits.

I was in Thurgadin, checking out the merchants in the Bank (good practice, never know what you find). When loe and behold, a Deluxe Sewing kit. I think it cost me around 2 plat. Wow what a deal.

got one for 1pp off a guy who wanted to clear a slot in his bank (he had bank full of them) i guess he never checked that the no longer dropped

It's been posted here before but if you are just looking for a cheap 10 slot storage item (ie for the bank) that holds giant size items go to iceclad and get a deluxe tool box from the gnome pirates. I got my sewing kit a while back and thought "Gee, I should get some more of these and put them in the bank." Of course I was too late. VI had taken them out. Fortunately all of my chars that tailor have one. Now I also have all my bank slots full of toolboxes. Really nice for us packrat types.

I finally worked up to the level in tailoring where I actually need one of these babies (to make Wu's pants, cloaks, and Gis). After complaining that they were no longer sold, a GM told me today that they were, in fact, still sold SOMEWHERE.

So where are these sold? In the meantime, can anyone tell me which cities have a loom?

I saw that they changed them to 10 slots and jumped all over them. I now have about 6 in my bank as well as 1 in my guild bank in case anyone in my guild would need to use it. I am on Brell serilis and if anyone would like one of my deluxe sewing kits they could give me a bizuzz. I currently carry around all 10 slots and 1 sewing kit. I am working on tailoring and I like having one incase I need to loot a giant Item. Thanks Verant for letting me have a bunch of 10 slots in my bank for about 1pp each hehe

Way back at the dawn of time, two kinds of tailoring kits were available from vendors: large (8 slots) and small (2 slots). Then, when cultural tailoring (for halflings, erudites, and wood elves) was added, new kits (10 slots) were introduced that could only be used by those two races to make their cultural armors. When Velious came out, another kit was made available from stores in Velious cities, the coldain tanning kit (8 slots) that must be used to make the Velious tailored armors.

Then, because they were about to introduce old world armor that had more than 8 ingredients, the old world original large kits were increased to have 10 slots. But then, people started complaining more loudly because this change meant that the large tailoring kits had as many slots as tailored backpacks but weighed less and held bigger items. So, the Powers That Be decided to remove the 10 slot tailoring kits from vendors. The problem was that they couldn't simply change them back to 8 slots, because that would cause problems for people who had items in all 10 slots. So, they changed the existing 10-slot large kits into a new item, Deluxe kits, and changed vendors back to the original large kits with only 8 slots.

Therefore, the only deluxe tailoring kits in existance are ones that players had in their possession when these changes were made. If you find them on a vendor, it is because someone sold it to that vendor. For those who need 10 slots for the recipes with more than 8 ingredients (Wu's Fighting armor), they also added Looms to some cities. Looms are stationary containers that you go to in a city and use on the spot, like ovens or brew barrels or forges.

i heard that the deluxe items are sold in the velious area only and is not only sewing kits

Last night I checked all the vendors that used to sell the 10 slot large. THe only thing for sell now is the 8 slot. Even the vendor in Erudin only has the 8slot. If you see any on a vendor my guess is it was sold to them by a player. This also is per V's info that the 10slot kit will no longer by sold.
