A Question on wardrobe

[Stillwater]

I've only resubbed to see the changes a few months have wrought, and I wanted to ask a quick question.

Can I, like in some other wardrobe-enabled MMORPG, dress up silly?

By that, I mean the following.

I want to create a Male Warrior named Shirley.

Who will dress in a dress or a chainmail bikini or some such.

IN PVP.

While I stride towards enemies in battle, I will be spamming a chat macro that has me shout, "I'm a pretty flower, hear me Pollenate!" until I bear on them, slamming my sword across their laughing skull, rending tongues from their perches and eyeballs from their sockets.

After which, I shall stride away, towards the horzon, saying simply.... "I am Shirley, and I'm all that and a bad of wood chips. Giggity giggity."


Again, I ask... how robust are the wardrobe options in the game? Can a warrior wear robes?

Yeah, Wardrobe is kind of limited in that sense. You're looking at whatever items you wearing conforming to the gender of the model. There are wardrobe pieces and there is using armor as wardrobe. Unfortunately for using armor as wardrobe - you're stuck using whatever max armor your character can wear.

Warriors cannot wardrobe Chain, Leather, nor Cloth armor.
Clerics cannot wardrobe Leather nor Cloth armor.
Rogues cannot wardrobe Cloth armor.

As for the Shirley aspect though, there was a huge Bahmi male on one of the shards I play that had dyed their wardrobe items pink and white. No, ahem, offense to anybody...but I would not turn my back on him.

Dyeing sounds like a good way to go. Thanks.

It's nifty now with the option to return the vendor dyes within a given period of time for the same price. You can literally go through and try out all the Primary/Secondary choices for the colors on the gear without having to purchase them and eat the cost difference in selling them back.

Does not help with the crafted dyes though.

But still, given that not all the dyes appear as you might think they would on certain pieces of armor - it's nifty to be able to grab a color, do the primary/cancel secondary/cancel check with them.

Btw, are these dyes all-purpose?

By that, I mean, can I place them on metal armor, leather, or cloth without issues?

Yes. Of course, that is where the testing comes in - the color in the bottle is not the same as you get on a particular piece of armor. What it is on a piece of plate, might not be the same as on a piece of cloth. Heck, even on two pieces of plate - you will often find the color varies.

Good to know. Pink-plated, blue haired PVP demon, here we come!

Now to just make a decent PVE/PVP build.

Know it is a joke but to question yes and no. Yes you can pick crazy outfits but.. No you are limited to your callings armor set can not mix other callings armor in wardrobe.

Mage = Cloth
Rogue = Leather
Cleric = Chain
Warrior = Plate
