Hello, I've been gone from the game for several months, and it looks like a few things have changed since I last played. I'm really going to have to look around and see if I can figure out what all has been added. :-)
I came across the seamstress in Mooshu, and I have a question about what it is she actually does. It looks to me like I can take a piece of clothing I currently have (like, say, my Astral Cap of Scalding) and pay to have it made to look like a different type of hat. Now, the gear I have is the good crown gear, from way back before they retired it. The last I checked, even though it's basically Magus level gear, it was better than anything else I could get in the game after the crown gear change. The very last thing I want to do is go messing with a new feature and end up loosing my good crown gear. Can someone explain to me how this seamstress service works? I'm hoping it's basically "pick your gear from the right side, and select what you want it to look like from the left side". I just want to make sure the stats aren't going to change.
You can learn more about Stitching in our Players Guide:
Clothing - Seamstress
Have you ever found a clothing item you love the look of, but wish it had the stats of something different? Well now you can take the stats of one piece of clothing and apply them to another piece of clothing of the same type. Love the stats on your Dragonspyre hat but it doesn't match your Grizzleheim outfit? Find a Grizzleheim hat you like, and move the stats from your Dragonspyre hat, to the new Grizzleheim hat to complete your stylish look.
Eloise Merryweather, who can be found near Zeke in all worlds of the Spiral (including Grizzleheim) has been busy learning how to stitch! For a small Crowns fee, she will allow you to transfer the Stats of one item onto the Appearance of another.
This process cannot be undone, so please make sure you choose the correct items to be tailored.
Next time you talk to her, simply select the item you want to use as the Appearance, and the item you want to use as the Stats. Click Create and you'll have a whole new outfit with the look and stats you want combined into one.
Important things to note about the Seamstress' process:
Both items will be removed from your backpack and replaced with the new item
The name of the item will be transferred from the Stats item, along with the bonuses
The bonuses of the appearance item will completely disappear, and be overwritten by the bonuses of the stats item
Once the transaction is complete, and you've purchased the item, it cannot be undone!
