New Craft: Tailoring
Sophie's Splendid Stitches is our brand new tailoring feature. Dragon clans can turn their unwanted items into thread. This thread can be used in sewing patterns to create new color variations of apparel. As your clan advances in skill (under Sophie's guidance) they will have access to more patterns, allowing them an even greater range of garments for your fashionistas to wear!
Dragons may bring their extra items to Sophie, who will spin their trash into treasure!
- Food*, Materials, and Trinkets can be spun into Simple Thread. They will spin into simple thread every time. There is no randomness in Sophie's skilled hands, and she has so many of them!
- Familiars* and Apparel can be spun into Fine Thread. They will spin into fine thread every time.
*As always, the lore behind the reduction of any living thing into a material is that the creature is donating hair, fur, scales, or scraps to the creation of the item.
This shop will be a year-round fixture in the Trading Post, and is launching with 3 levels of tailoring to practice your skills with. As it will take some time for dragon clans to advance in skills alongside Sophie, we opted to keep the initial amount of tailoring levels more manageable. That said, we will be adding more tailoring levels and patterns in future updates this year. We may have heard a rumor that more advanced patterns may become available as soon as Sunparched Prowl... but don't tell anyone we told you.






























































Gifts Galore!
Galore has unique gifts for collectors this Anniversary! If you wish to make additional copies of these items, you can brew the familiar through Baldwin's Bubbling Brew, and the apparel through Sophie's Splendid Stitches.
