Editing Tailoring (section)

=== Tailoring Quest Armor ===
With the exception of [[Society Armor]] and full coverage robes and [[guises]], quest armor can be tailored to other items of the same coverage.  Multi-slot quest armor cannot be reduced, but its appearance can be tailored to single slot armor using a two step process.
# Tailor the quest armor piece to a loot armor piece with matching coverage.  This keeps the quest armor appearance, but keeps the loot armor stats.
# Reduce the loot armor piece which now has the quest armor appearance using the appropriate armor reduction tool.
For example, a [[Mattekar Hide Coat]] (chest, abdomen, upper arms, lower arms) cannot be reduced, but it can be tailored onto a loot Chainmail hauberk (same coverage).  Then the hauberk, which now looks like a mattie coat, can be reduced using an Armor Reduction Main Tool to cover only chest.  Finally, an armor layering tool (top) can be applied to make sure the mattie coat appearance displays above other equipped upper body armor.
