How do i get tags for my Phys-rep'd equipment?

[majorkurn]

Heya, I've "just" finished my second event (was the east side mario pub night event) and I'm just trying to get things figured out for the next event where I'll actually need my gear set up (the Jan day event). I ended up with 2 tags at high winter that i believe will do for some of my gear via looting/highwinter present; a longsword and a pair of Yeti Fur Slippers (can't wait for boxing day sales to get some fur foot slippers for cheap). My costume (when i can buy the leather and craft everything (hoping to get it done for then, but may not due to time, money etc.)) will include some leather bracers, greaves and roman-esque battle skirt as well as a chain shirt and eventually a helm of metal. My weapons will be a medium sized sword, a shield and dagger (again hoping i can get all my materials acquired and built before game). So my armour, shield and dagger would be tagless.

I took blacksmithing when I pre-logged for the East Side Mario event, and from my reading i would need the RM for crafting things, but have none so far. Nor is the rulebook clear enough for me to understand how I'd craft the armour in game if need be.

Please help?

Edit: The items for my costume that i currently have finished and is game-ready is my chain shirt, and most of my shield (i need to refit it with some foam for the front as per Underworld rules)
