How do you earn the Wearing Epic Attire achievement?

RSram · October 2014

I crafted a full set of Seducer armor with both staffs included and upgraded them to all to EPIC quality. So I figured I would get the Wearing Epic Attire achievement, but I didn't. Is jewelry included in this set?

Or is there a specific set of armor called "EPIC" that I haven't found yet?

it comes from jewelry being part of your full set.

The hardest part of this will be the jewelery, although you can make Epic Glyphs and that should change the rings/necklace to Epic to give you the parts you need.

I was wrong.

RSram · October 2014

Thanks, I try crafting some Epic Glyphs then.

I glad there isn't a legendary attire achievement. I been playing for over 1000 hours now, and I haven't yet come across one.

Jewelry won't change color based on the glyphs applied to them, you need to either find or buy epic jewelry to get the achievement.

Adding Epic glyphs (Rekuta) to a random piece of jewelry will not change its color to purple, just as enchanting a white piece of armor with an epic glyph doesn't make the armor epic. You can blame @Nestor for that terrible advice.

Check your guild stores, there are probably quite a few rings and amulets in Epic quality that you can buy to get the achievement, regardless of item level. You should be able to find them for small amounts of gold, 1-2k each.

You can also wait for VR14 and equip an endgame set of jewelry like the Healer's Habit or the Footman with purple armor and get the achievement this way.

Legendary rings and necklaces drop from the weekly trial rewards (and also pvp rewards? not sure for that one), so there could technically be a new achievement for that. *Looks at ZOS with puppy eyes*

Maybe ZOS should start giving us the puppy love.

And I through every comment on the Internet is true?

Thanks for the correction, I should have questioned that advice, since I been crafting a lot lately and there is no tempers for jewelry.

I haven't got to the end game content yet, I have one more alliance to go.

Thanks for correcting me, I thought it changed the jewelery. I had added a purple glyph to a ring and must have confused it with another purple ring that I had that had the same enchantment.

Honest mistake, but we all handled it intelligently with no flaming and crude language.

I went into the game and created a Purple Glyph and applied it to a Green Ring and it was still a Green Ring. I was also interested to see if the value of the Glyph changed because the Ring was improved, nope.

Anyway, I do have two Purple Rings that I plan on keeping forever because they drop so rarely. So, if you get a Purple Necklace, I will loan you the Rings so you can get the Achievement. I might even have a Purple Necklace. But you will have to give them back to me.

That ok, I'll just do it the hard way and sniff around until I find them. I guess it wouldn't be an achievement if it were easy?

Hmm... forgot about the slaughterfish achievement; that was easy.

jeanne_gehringb16_ESO · August 2018

well, I am wearing the Night Mother's Embrace set... I have all 7 armor slots, both rings and the necklace...I have multi-checked that all pieces are from the Embrace set and not the Gaze set and still no achievement. Very frustrated.

All that checking and one ring is blue. (sigh)

Easy? I got killed trying to achieve that!

Holy necro.....

So I crafted up a full set including necklace and rings to epic level put it all on and still am not getting the achievement. Even went so far as to make a main and backup weapon to epic and equipped those too. Any suggestions?

Are the armor and jewelry all purple and only purple? You can't wear like 9 pieces of purple gear and 1 piece of gold gear. It is not an "at least epic" achievement, it is an "exactly epic" achievement.

Are both purple rings equipped? If you click on a helmet, there is only one place for it to go. If you click on a ring, there are two places, and sometimes game is weird about which ring slot it picks. I have had times where I intended to equip two of the same ring, but ended up just flipping the new rings in and out of "Ring 1" slot while my old ring stayed in "Ring 2" slot. I had to explicitly drag and drop one ring into "Ring 1" and other ring into "Ring 2".

Yes everything is purple was done specifically for the achievement. Both rings are purple soon as I can get the achievement my mythic one is going back on

Finally popped had to take a piece off and put it back on to trigger it

Greetings,

We have closed this topic as it was originally created in October 2014. In many cases, it's better to create a new thread on a topic that you want to discuss as opposed to bumping one that is rather old.

Thank you for your understanding.
