• You can make your own clothes instead of buying them from the Tailor guy. To make your own clothes, you need to buy specific items from the Cloth girl (Nora) standing outside the Inn.

So far I only know how to make a Popo's Skirt. You will need:

-Tailoring Kit x 1 -Tailoring Manual (Popo's Skirt) x 1 -Cheap Cloth x 1 -Cheap Dye x 1 -Common Dye x 1

-Then equip the Tailoring Kit on your character's left hand first, then place the Tailoring Manual in the other hand. -Click on your Skill button and use the Tailoring skill. (You automatically get Tailoring skill once you equip the 2 items mentioned.) -Now place all the other items you just bougth in the Production Form and click on the start button.

• You need a higher ranked Tailoring skill to make some other clothes.
