2) Fair days wages

A 20.00-25.00p daily wage is considered a reasonable profit on most items. Usually a Level 2 workshop wage is based on being slightly more than Town Hall job offers for 19 stat labour.

Pricing:

Pricing of the items usually undergoes the following formula: Cost of raw materials * quantity used + daily wage = price

for example: assuming 1 ball of wool costs 12 pounds, and your daily wage = 24 pounds, 1 shirt = 8 balls of wool * 12 + 24 = 120 pounds

Prices for wool and hides and the standard salary for level 2 professions can vary widely from town to town and over time. Ask other weavers, your mayor or town mentor what is usual.
12-12.50 pounds for balls of wool, 15-17 pounds for hides and a salary of 20-24 pounds (allows to buy stat food and save up to reach lvl 3) are most usual.

3) General Information

-"Weaver" is a profession you can take when reaching level 2.
-The weaving workshop is located in the player's home.
-The weaver's trade consists of making clothes for men and women.
-Materials used are wool and hides (from sheep).
-Weavers usually open a shop (topic) on the town forum, where they list the clothes they make (some weavers specialize in certain types) and their prices. They can take orders in that thread or via IG mail.
-Before becoming a weaver, ask your mayor if there aren't enough weavers around, so as to avoid overproduction.
-Clothes do not wear out. However, many higher level players tend to move to colonies, making room for new players, so the weaver typically still has work.
-New clothes get coded in the game once in a while.
-The colors of garments are chosen by the buyer when they click on 'use' and wear them. It cannot be changed after that (or sold).
