Tailoring is a production skill in Milky Way Idle. The player can gain Experience to level up this skill by converting hides and fibers into leather and fabric, and crafting equipment from these materials. There are five tiers of leather and fabric that the player can unlock by leveling up Tailoring. The time it takes to craft increases accordingly to the tier and complexity of items. The player can reduce the time it takes to craft by using Needles. Various pieces of Equipment can boost Tailoring efficiency, experience gain, and rare find.
Tailored items include leather and fabric (used in Tailoring recipes and other skills), ranged equipment (hoods, tunics, chaps, bracers), magic equipment (hats, robe tops, robe bottoms, gloves), skilling gear for all non-combat skills, and pouches that provide HP/MP bonuses and additional food and Drink Slots.
