Tailoring will allow players to customize the look of their loot-generated armor.
<br><br>
The primary ability of tailoring will be to transfer the looks (and looks alone) from one item to another, for like items, e.g sleeves to sleeves, helmets to helmets, etc. For example, you will be able to take the looks of a Lorica Breastplate and apply those looks to the stats of a Studded Leather Breastplate. The resulting item will retain all of the stats of the Studded Leather Breastplate, but will now visually look like the Lorica Breastplate.
<br><br>
Tailoring will also include a secondary ability - reducing multi-slot armor to single slot coverage, while still retaining the multi-slot looks. For example, you will be able to reduce a pair of Amuli leggings to only cover and protect the abdomen, but visually it will still look like it covers full legs.
