Nettle Clothes and Survival

[Vilacom]

So I've very recently started playing and have been following sevenless' guide.

He mentions making nettle clothes that up your survival, I've crafted a couple sets at quality 9/10 and there have been no survival increases at all. Is this out of date and it doesnt do that anymore? Or am i just doing something wrong?

its out of date information, as clothes have gild slots on them and nettle have a bonus to slotting survival type gilds on them(chance to add extra slot), i suggest making some taproot lacing then slotting them into these clothes. Also to read up on Gilds and gilding http://ringofbrodgar.com/wiki/Equipment_Gilding

Outdated, now there's gilding: http://ringofbrodgar.com/wiki/Equipment_Gilding
What you want now are taproot lacing and leather patch.
Use the wiki also, combined with Sevenless guide to start.

I actually wrote a gilding guide for myself recently. Haven't compared it to the wiki one though. I've been debating if I have the will to rewrite the guide at this point, especially with large scale changes to behaviour incentives hinted at on the horizon (permadeath flux, stat bloat meaning the hunger system likely needs attention, siege changes).

Anyway, hope it helps. But yes, there's a reason I added outdated to the guide's title. It is riddled with outdated mechanics.
