Hello everyone in
EF-Land,
I have been wishing I had the ability to do something really fun and amazing for noobs at the new arrival area for awhile now. Here's the idea: I want to skill tailoring until I am able to make some decent clothes (at least something better than basic). Then run a good sized batch, color them and make a day of giving them away to brand new players.
The problem is that I just plain never have enough PED to make it happen. So it's always just an idea. But, in my time reading here on the forum I have had inspiration in the form of 2 other posts.
This:
100 sweat into a hangar
And this:
250 sweat into a spaceship ?
So, here's my idea.
Like those posts, I am going to start a trade with sweat. 100 bottles of beautiful vibrant sweat
. Each trade should be something valued slightly over the previous trade. And I hope that each trade will be accompanied by a small amount of materials/bp's usable in tailoring or coloring. I am not including texturing as I think it would make this project too huge.
Here is an example:
Someone offers me a Mann MPH and 2 wool for the 100 sweat. I then will have a Mann MPH available for trade and the 2 wool will be saved for skilling tailoring. Once the trade has gotten large enough (I am willing to accept advice on what is large enough), I will try to make 1 final trade for tailoring related items. Hopefully the small amounts of wool/bp's etc. I get during this will raise my skill enough to make some ok clothing. I will use all of the materials gained from the final trade to make a batch of clothes, color them and have a give away day. Hopefully everyone who gets involved in trades will come to the event too, to make it more fun.
I will keep everyone posted as to what I currently have as a trade offer, as well as what materials/bp's have been given. I will also keep everyone posted as to where my tailoring and coloring professions are at.
All input on this idea is welcome, either in this thread or via pm
