How far can you go with other trades

[monkeynutter]

I know there is a limit to what you can do on the other main trades im 503 on weapon crafting but need parts for siege weps from armourcrafter does anyone know if its possiable to get armour crafting up to 500 to do this, or if you have to settle for asking for armourcrafters or buying parts from merchant keeps.

Secondary skills like leatherwork or metalwork are capped at your main skill. Other crafts like armor or weaponcraft are capped at a certain percentage of your main skill, depending on the main skill. For detail, check www.daoctradeskills.com
I am not sure, but I think armorcraft is at 75% of weaponcraft, Tailoring is at 40% of weaponcraft, fletching 40% of weaponcraft too. So if you really want to make siege stuff yourself, you need a really high main skill in crafting. I am working on that too at the moment, but I dont think I will be able to make the tailoring parts anytime at all, maybe the armorcraft stuff. It's obviously designed that way, so you have to cooperate with others to make a successful siege.

Thanks for answer i did think that but wanted to check with people who might have better idea.

I have 857 Armourcraft. with that I can go up to, but not over :
642 Weaponcraft
642 Tailoring
342 Fletching
342 Siegecraft

Atm I have 491 tailoring and about 250ish weaponcraft, so I CAN mate tailored siege parts, but not weaponcraft siege parts yet. As my current level it will be impossible for me to make fletchers siege parts (only torsion cables for the ballista), but once 1.48 arrives, if I max AC to 1100, Ill only be able to get 440 in siege. Therefor you cannot make all the siege parts alone, but you CAN make catapult, rams and most of the ballista

I think 900 is max for any main trade skill isnt it?

 

[monkeynutter]

from what i did see there is a limit of what materials u can gain a point at, so there is a limit, im sure i saw someone saying they were 1000 but not sure.

Don't know what the current cap is but after the patch you can go to 1100 in your primary skill. Also there was a bug in the first patch that capped you at 999. This will hopefully be fixed in the patch we get.
