I thought it was standing policy that I will be happy to stitch stuff for folks with the mats. If it wasn't, it is now.
I'll happily combine anything for people as long as it is for personal use rather than sale at the AH. If you are going to sell something that I stitched for you, have the decency to sell it on an AH alt so I don't know.
No payment or tips required, I just like putting the skill to use to help people.
I've been casually buying the cheap Baselisk Eyes from the AH when I see them reasonably priced, I have a stack or two waiting, but I think it takes something like 1400 eyes to get to the point where I can turn in Tomes. Maybe I'll just ditch Herbalism and buy another Tailor. At least Kryz is already a Scryer. In either case, it probably won't happen until I drink way too much while playing on a night when the Mrs is out with her friends.
