Custom armour

Will this be reintroduced at any point? At the moment the best armour is the most pleasant shade of green with gold stripes.. very tasteful but not suited for all characters...

Of course you could always look at it in another way.

There are already quite a few different looking pieces of armor.

Saying we need custom armor because "the best" armor only comes in one color is limiting yourself more than the game is limiting you.

Building an outfit that looks right for your character might be altogether more fulfilling then just building what is assumed to be the best, and then changing its look.

Also i think Armor Tinting will be introduced at some point, which would solve the whole armor looks the same problem by IC means.

Just my half-dollar though.

I'm with Bronco on this one... I went up to Galek and asked him to make me a red suit of armour for Ash... red because he's a follower of Girru, the god of fire... I had no idea what type of properties the armour would have, nor did I care. I also had no idea how much it would cost, but I paid a pretty penny for it.

In any case, not everyone has to share my opinion on this, but if it's looks you're concerned with, then you have to look at it from a logical standpoint... certain metals have distinct tints in real life (i.e. iron, steel, bronze, brass, copper, silver, gold, etc.), and so they should be limited in Dasaria as well. You can't have a suit of armour that has the properties of silver but appears as a yellow-tinted suit... just doesnt make sense.

That being said, you may have to make statistical sacrifices (god forbid!!!) if you're looking for style. I think this makes perfect sense. There is the option of getting adornments I believe, however, which changes the appearance, but I've not seen this yet. I imagine enchantments might also change appearances? Correct me if I'm wrong on that...

I can see what Namtar means...

I must admit: I miss Holly's armor. Not because of the statistics, mind you, but because it was unique and about as feminine as the current stuff could get. I also paid 98,000 gold to get it to look that way.

But now, with the Hakpak, woohoo....I'm sure sooner or later custom items will get back into the picture. We players have recieved so many gifts of late.

Patience, yes?

Holly makes a very good point here. The DM's were importing custom cosmetically altered items for awhile, but there was a reason that it was so expensive... it wasn't exactly the easiest things for the DM's to take the time to import a character's custom armour on top of all their other responsibilities. Just something to keep in mind...

*scratches head*

I could be entirely off base, but a couple of those posts seem to be quite derogatory towards Namtar for just asking a simple question.

Hmmm... If my post came off as derogatory, I apologize. I really didn't mean it to. I was just trying to explain things as I see them. Hope I didn't upset anyone. Sorry, Namtar.

Oh I don't know..from what I recall hearing, the line-dance was quite amusing....

No offence taken from any posts

Buts thanks for the support Peep

Anyways in view not wishing to look like a Power Ranger I have chosen to wear Plat. armour as it is black and the only armour for this season for the discerning worshiper of Nergal - it is quite low on the order of armours that can be made and as only mithral can be adorned with gold to improve it that limits the choices somewhat - as I can whoop most people with or without armour

I’m not overly fussed given the choice I’d have non adorned black armour with the biggest spikes seen this side of next Christmas...

Trin is the ONE person I can think of who would admire an undead sprout. After all, one day, they might become an undead Ent!
