Harvesting clothes?

[grizlas]

There recently was a thread about the selling and purchasing of harvesting tools, but there was little or no mention of clothes, even if these are just as important.

I have been searching high and low for some decent harvesting clothes to put me up to the 1 whole - 7 chunks limit, but without any luck. On the broker under harvesting clothes there is nothing and all the harvesting supply vendors offer are some average pants, tunic and shoes.

Does anyone have any information on how to get some decent harvesting digs? can outfitters even make them?

thanks

You can buy them off the harvesting vendor.

Tailors can make them, but the only bonus i see (so far) is a higher + harvesting number +5 compared to a +4 (off the vendor. Th Pristine clothes have a +6).

I made some, but thoroughly unimpressed.

Same here Sorkvir , made some sets of the Pristine Harvesting clothes , and tbh i don't really see any difference in harvest amount .
The only thing i can think of is the stats get better on later versions ( if we get later versions that is ) .

[sorkvir]

I'm thinking we can upgrade them later. Or make firegrass/silkbloom versions of it.

Literally, the stats (ore per minute) were identical. Pristine only have a +6 to harvesting and the 'store bought' gave a +4

Tin Harvesting tools were only slightly better than the tolls vendor offered, same thing goes for clothings I suspect.

Its however obvious you wont get the 1whole 7chunks yield, if you recently just qualified for next tier resource.

Last night I was trying to make Pristine Tier 2 harvesting clothes. The difference between vendor gear and regular cotton gear is hardly anything, even if it's pristine.

Here is the kicker.

If you use a rare node such as Mature Cotton, that is where you get the bonus. I only had one bolt and made a shirt it gave a bonus to minimum harvesting and a bonus to avg harvesting +0.031 i believe along with + to harvesting skill. I'm only level 19 so I can't confirm any of the tier 3 stuff yet.

True. But why would you waste the Mature Cotton on that, when you can save/hoarde it to make 20 slot Cotton bags

As for hitting the node +7 max. I can see the argument in this, and it might be more beneficial in the higher tiers, but with the amateur vendor clothes, the pristine tools, I'm pulling a full slab out at skill 140ish. And I'm never in a 'hurry' to get x amount of stuff. So for me at least, the clothes are useless to make atm.

Very true, but it was more a matter of finding out what effect the mature cotton had on the clothes versus regular cotton. The bonus to minimum harvest and bonus to avg helps at all levels, which is nice since i'm looking for firegrass now.

The tools comment is not correct in my opinion

Crafted pristine tin harvesting tools (amateur) are as good as the apprentice (next tier) ones on the vendors. Crafted pristine copper harvesting tools (novice) are as good as the amateur ones of the vendors.

So using a pristine harvesting tool will give you a much better yield compared to an equivalent vendor bought tool and they are much cheaper as well.

I agree that you will not get a whole 1+7 yield on the next tier resource you just qualified though - tools make a difference certainly but skill level against each tier seems to have a very high influence.

It did not take me long though to acheive max yield on copper nodes when using a pristine copper tool after hitting tier 2 and when I switched to a tier 2 tin tool I was hitting it very often.

Thanks for all the info.

Yesterday I finally managed to get my hands on some clothes through the broker. First clothes I've seen on sale yet. I even managed to buy a uncommon headware that was 0.061, very nice.

I went searching for different harvesting vendors as was suggested, but couldn't find any gloves or headware on sale. Some vendor (the one in aghram) only had books. I suppose it varies then.

The reason why I would like to improve my equipment is because of rares mostly. At the moment I'm at 320 lumberjacking and 300 quarrying, but in the process of leveling these skills I came across some rares, mostly arid/thron logs and one incidence of soapstone. When you encounter rares so very rarely, it would be very benificial to get a full slab/timber in one go. Right now, I have 15 soapstone chunks in my inventory that are useless because I didn't have the proper gear on. Who knows when I'll come across another one. in 400-600 nodes of sandstone I found only the one.
