Andrej Pike, Grandmaster Tailor

ow that Andrej had exceptional alchemy and carpentry skills, he felt like it was time to round his skills up with tailoring, where he was currently at expert level. He wanted to be able to sew exceptional leather armor. Andrej packed a lot of sewing kits into his backpack and hiked to Delucia.From his brother Hawkeye he had heard that this area was a perfect place for gathering hides. When he left the Delucia village and passed the gate at the palisades, his ears were suddenly filled with the mooing of cows, bleating of sheep and neighing of horses. He was instantly surrounded by a dozen of shepherds and there were farm animals all around.

Hawkeye's hint of hunting farm animals near Delucia was worth piles of gold! Andrej managed to gather at least 1000 hides in an hour. His hands were calloused from the permanent tailoring. It proved to be most efficient to sew the most difficult leather items and then cutting them instantly back into leather. After five days Andrej created his first exceptional studded tunic. After he had engraved his name into the leather, he sank on the grass exhaustedly. He had made it! He was now a grandmaster tailor.
