See what gear looks like before crafting?

Elvent · April 2014

Since there's no preview option in this game (which needs one) Is there a website that shows what gear looks like? The preview ESO gives you sometimes doesn't even look like the small picture shows you, at least not on my character.

So is there somewhere I can see what the gear really looks like before crafting it? Maybe it's too soon for a site to have previews of them since I haven't had any luck with google searching.

Looks like http://eso-fashion.com/ has a start, though there's not much there yet for weapons.

Always good to find a link like that, thanks!

I do find it strange we are unable to know wth something will look like prior to crafting it though...

Be nice if you could mouse over and item while at the craft table and see what it will look like.

You do it's not a big preview, but when you cycle though the racial stones the item you are making changes to reflect the racial type. The link above is a good link to see what something looks like.

A ingame preview would be so much appriciated

I believe EQII implemented a preview window into their system. It was insanely helpful, especially when crafting armor (and furniture).

I would love to be able to see how a certain racial style looks before spending the mats to create it (either on myself, or on a paper doll).

Yes but the preview picture looks nothing at all like the piece of armor I wanted to craft, these certain shoulders I liked the looks of on the preview picture and thought they would look badass on my character turns out they didn't look anything like the preview and looked horrible on my character.

When I get home I will show the comparison in pictures. That website linked is the best preview we have so far, I hope they eventually get all set pieces otherwise there's no good or true previews.

I don't craft a lot so maybe some preview stays true to the looks but I know for certain not all do.

To take one clear example on where the small icons and the actual things don't match: Nord style Iron/steel Shoulders. On the small pic, you see only metal. Then you equip them and there's hanging fur there... These small pics really isn't anything that can replace a proper preview function.
