Project Zomboid TAILORING/ARMOR Guide | Build 41.54

hello i'm zed survivor i've had a request a long time ago to do a guide on armor and tailoring so in this video we are discussing that tailoring is not that complicated as most people think it's actually really simple so this will probably be a shorter guide tailoring is a skill that is used to repair and upgrade your clothing and armor there are three protection values protection against scratches bites and bullets basic equipment tailoring requires is needle thread and scissors needle can be found in industrial shelves you have a closet with it in almost every house you can also find it in crates and warehouses thread can be found but mostly gained from ripping clothing you will be doing this a lot scissors are easy to find they're either in kitchen counters schools or stuck in zombies there are three different fabrics that you can use to patch clothing ripped sheet denim strips and leather strips some items cannot be repaired like shoes firefighter clothes bulletproof vests and more adding a padding will increase the defense of that body part but if your clothing is ripped and there is a hole patching it will not fully restore the condition this only comes at level 8 of tailoring so now the most important part how do you gain xp and how to level up fast there is a tailoring book for all the levels of course gaining xp is easy but long there are three ways to get it and we will utilize all of them first you rip clothing of all zombies you kill there is a chance of getting thread every time you do you will gain a small amount of xp after you're done getting thread take a piece of clothing preferably something you don't need and right click on it then select inspect and now right click on any body part and select add padding to all using ripped sheets make sure to have them please don't waste any leather for now except for your primary clothing you're wearing use ripped sheets because they're most common and you will be removing them so we don't want to waste any uncommon fabric after you're done right click again and remove all paddings this also gives xp just keep doing this and you will be leveling up in no time kill zombies rip clothing and get thread then patch up random clothing as long as you have thread use it all up and then get thread again with thumb you will gain xp and levels which will increase the protection values of your fabric for actual reinforcement use only leather strips they have the most protection values and scale the best with levels at level one it only provides one percent scratch two percent byte and one percent bullet defense each level byte defense increases by one scratch increases by two and bullet increases also by one leveling up will also increase the chance of getting thread from the clothing you rip so this will turn into a snowball effect and you will level it easier it is possible to achieve max protection you will need to pick the best clothing for it also layer them on top of each other just put leather strips on all of these and you will get a good defense now just level up tailoring because defense can get much better with levels and that's it hope you can make some nice bad ass armor just be careful because multiple zombies can still drag you down and you will die right then and there regardless of what armor you're currently wearing oh right i almost forgot it's time for the tip of the video wearing armor is pretty good but you will be getting hot during summer because it's a lot of layers of clothing on you so you will be sweating profusely make sure to take it off when you're safe and put it back on when you're leaving for scavenging also take a few water bottles with you so you don't get thirsty and lose strength in middle of combat tell me in the comments what you want to see next and i will see you in my next video
