Weaving

Although effective in keeping oneself warm, leather garments are restricting and heavy, and many animals need to be hunted to make one. This naturally led to creating lighter garments which can be made in a less dangerous way. The Weaving skill allows you to create thread from natural resources such as wool to weave fabric. In order to learn and effectively use the Weaving skill, you must have an eye for detail and put in your most sincere efforts. While these are difficult criteria to accomplish, knowing that many people are able to create beautiful garments with the fabric that you have weaved using the Weaving skill will be quite fulfilling. Remember that you require tools such as Spinning Wheels and Looms to use the skill.

## **Details**

* Must use the skill in front of a Spinning Wheel or Loom, depending on the item produced.
* The weaving skill allows the player to produce materials necessary for item production via the Blacksmithing, Tailoring, and Handicraft skills.
* To cut leather, the player must have a blade type weapon (i.e., a sword) or a certain blade type gathering tool (i.e., a Gathering Knife or a Sickle) equipped.
	+ Be careful with what you have equipped. Each attempt at cutting will cause the blade to use 0.1 durability unblessed, and half that amount if blessed.
* Dexterity raises the success rate for weaving.
	+ Party Members also increase Success rate.
	+ If you are using a Part-Time Job title, the title you are using before starting a Part-Time Job will count toward success rate, and not the Part-Time Job title.
* Players must use at least Novice Rank Weaving to create Theatre Mission passes. The Luck stat determines the success rate rather than the Dexterity stat.
* Decreases 0.75 durability of the Brionac when it is used to add skill exp.

 Additional Information
Unlike Malcolm's quest, you don't have to gather the wool yourself, and can collect it before starting.
You can do both Malcolm and Lepus's quests simultaneously, though you will have to collect 5 wool for each.
Cobwebs are dropped by spiders when they are not aggravated. You can find spiders in karu forest, near the lizard mark, or Continent Warp to Dunbarton and go west of the city.
Once you get the cobwebs, go back to Filia and click on the spinning wheel. In your inventory, click on the cobwebs and bring them over one of the boxes in the spinning wheel window. Then click ok on the spinning wheel window.
