0-21: Trainer
Buy 21 skill points worth of Tailoring at your trainer.
Time: Seconds
Cost: A few gold
21-60: Silk
Silk Armor. Kill spiders in Crystal Caverns for the silks and combine one silk with a Wrist Pattern until 35 or so, then switch to two silks and one Tunic Pattern to 55-60.
REMEMBER TO SAVE YOUR SILK ARMOR FOR LATER!
Time: A few hours of silk farming and ten minutes of combining.
Cost: Hardly anything
60-115: Studded Leather
Buy leather armor and studs and apply one metal stud to one Leather Cloak until 70 or so, then switch to Leather Tunics.
Time: Few minutes
Cost: Maybe 50-60pp
115-135: Cured Silk
This is where the silk armor from one of the earlier steps come in. Buy Ointment (just ointment) and combine it with pieces of Silk (Wrist till you stop gaining, then Cloak - one for these - and then switch to Tunics or Robes - these cost two silks).
Time: Few minutes if you saved all your silk armor, otherwise, add time for silk farming.
Cost: 120-150pp.
135-180: Drake, cougar or pantherhide
This is where it gets TOUGH. You'll need Drakehide, Cougar Hide or Panther Hide and lots of it, along with one green ointment and one pattern per combine. Drake, cougar and panther hides are all extremely difficult to farm and this will undoubtedly be the longest pull unless you get lucky like me and someone sells you drakehide. Follow the usual procedure going Wrist, Cloak, Tunic until you cap.
Time: Getting the drakehide and money for the green ointment is the only time consumer.
Cost: Several thousand platinum.
180-250: Wyvernhide
Wyvernhide at last. Wyvern hides are considerably easier to get ahold of than Drake, Cougar or Pantherhide, but it also costs almost twice as much per piece in Blue Ointment. I used about 400 wyvernhides, but statistically you should need roughly 500.
Time: Like the previous step, getting hides and money is the real time killer.
Cost: Blue Ointment is about 28pp a pop, do the math: fourteen thousand or so.
