Carpet Weaving

Carpet Weaving

Overview

Carpet Weaving is a Tailoring-based crafting system that allows players to create decorative rugs and carpet runners for their homes. Using a Weaver's Spool and a combination of Wool, Dyes, and Flax, skilled tailors can produce a wide variety of colored rugs and hall runners in several styles.

The Carpet Weaver NPC is located on Main Street, between the bank and the tailor shop.

Getting Started

What You Need

• Weaver's Spool — the required crafting tool; purchase from the Carpet

 Weaver NPC for 1,500 gold.

• Tailoring skill — all recipes require a minimum of 105.0 Tailoring.

 At minimum skill the success chance is 50%, and the craft window tops
 out between 125.0 and 130.5 depending on the recipe.

• Materials — every recipe requires Wool, Dyes, and Flax

 (see Recipes below).

Skill Requirements Overview

Recipe Tier	Min Skill	Guaranteed Success
Standard Rugs & Runners	105.0	125.0
Plain / Fancy Rugs	107.0 – 110.2	127.0 – 130.0
Decorative / Artisan Rugs	115.0	130.5

At exactly 105.0 Tailoring you have a 50% chance on standard recipes. Pushing toward 115.0+ before attempting Decorative or Artisan rugs will save you significant materials.

Sourcing Materials

The Carpet Weaver NPC sells Dyes (8 gp) and Weaver's Spools (1,500 gp). Wool and Flax are not sold at this vendor — you must gather or buy them elsewhere:

• Wool — sheared from sheep; available from the House Animal System

 or traded from other players. The Carpet Weaver will buy Wool from you for
 31 gp each.

• Flax — harvested from flax plants in the world. The Carpet Weaver

 will buy Flax from you for 51 gp each.

Runners

Runners are narrower hall-style carpets available in two orientations: N/S (North/South) and E/W (East/West). All runner recipes require 12 Wool, 4 Dyes, and 1 Flax — half the wool and dyes of a full rug.

All runners share the same skill window: 105.0 minimum, 125.0 guaranteed.

Color	N/S	E/W
Blue	Blue Runner N/S	Blue Runner E/W
Red	Red Runner N/S	Red Runner E/W
Golden	Golden Runner N/S	Golden Runner E/W
Cinnamon	Cinnamon Runner N/S	Cinnamon Runner E/W

Runners use half the materials of full rugs at the same skill requirement. They make excellent practice items for building Tailoring skill while producing useful house decorations

Material Cost Per Attempt

Recipe Type	Wool	Dyes	Flax	Approx. Dye Cost
Full Rug	24	6	1	48 gp
Runner	12	4	1	32 gp

Wool and Flax costs vary by source. Weaver's Spool wear not included.

Tips & Strategies

• Start with runners — they use fewer materials (12 Wool vs 24) and all

 share the same 105.0 minimum skill, making them the most efficient way to
 build skill and decorate at the same time.

• Decorative and Artisan tiers require 115.0 Tailoring — don't attempt

 these until your skill is high enough to succeed consistently. The 50%
 floor only applies at minimum skill; above 115 your odds improve rapidly
 toward the 130.5 guaranteed mark.

• Sell surplus Wool and Flax — if you gather more than you need, the

 Carpet Weaver buys both (Wool at 31 gp, Flax at 51 gp), making this NPC
 a useful stop for gatherers even if they don't craft.

• Exceptional rugs are possible — keep an eye out for the Maker's Mark

 prompt if your Tailoring skill is high. Exceptional house addons are a
 nice personal touch.

• Plan your orientation — runners come in N/S and E/W variants. Think

 about which direction your hallways run before crafting to avoid ending up
 with the wrong orientation.

• Weaver's Spool has limited uses like other tools — buy a spare if you

 plan a long crafting session.
