Amazing news!

MornaBaine

Apparently you can, in 1.6, actually steal and dye CLOTHING.

Yet somehow this did NOT make it into the patch notes?????

NotSo

WHAAAAAAOOOUUUUT?!

Chevie

that's cool. does it go in the costume tab? or take up an inventory slot?

Ourorboros

There are new achievements for being caught while wearing stolen clothes and armor.

Forestd16b14_ESO

Yet still no weapon/shield dyes ......

Teiji

Looked at image, opened in new tab and giggled.

This is the best change Zeni has ever done. Clothing, actual legit clothing. Not a "costume" or a "disguise", clothing.

My Jhael is going to love murdering people in a pretty summer dress. She'll be, the summer-dress-murderer. [name is subject to change]

Thanks for the heads-up!

MornaBaine

There's even more pics in a necro'd thread on this subject but for some reason my computer is being wonky and not letting me copy the address and I've not yet had enough coffee to figure out how to fix it! LOL But the title is:
Making RP in ESO Even Better- Lootable NPC Clothing

You sure we won't need crowns?

Apparently not. You will, however, probably have to be a thief. These clothing pieces were found in dressers and nightstands in peoples' homes. I DO hope they willalso have a way to acquire this stuff legally. No word on that yet though.

Rosveen

Omg this is the best change.

You don't have to be a thief, but it's much easier to find them as a thief. They can also be laundered and you can purchase them second-hand.

Great .. except with no mechanism to instantly switch to armour it becomes a huge PITA to use this 'cosmetic' feature . .why couldn't ZOS simply make them costumes?

Great I suppose for the posers 'hanging out' wherever they do but this isn't a greatly practical system folks.

I'm going to get a purple shirt, stab people in the eye, and be the purple shirted eye stabber!

I'm eagerly awaiting a "Salvation Army" guild to spring up and purchase some guild stores and sell second/third/fourth/and fifth hand npc clothing.

It says chest in the item window...So...basically great, but pointless?

First of all, thanks for being insulting to an entire gaming demographic you clearly know nothing about. Secondly, if they were costumes they would not be dye-able and you could not mix and match the pieces. It's not SUPPOSED to be practical, it's supposed to be FUN. And it is.

@UrQuan‌ - I think the purple shirted eye stabbed is a small but vicious bird that robs tourists in Australia. I could be mistaken.

Yeah, just call all of the RPers posers, because insulting an entire segment of the people who play the game for the horrible crime of enjoying different things in-game than you do is the cool thing to do. It really makes your e-peen look massive and manly.

Fun for you maybe. You can't dye costumes only because ZOS decided to put that limitation in. Sorry, but I'm not impressed.

Roechacca

This is gonna be a fashion nightmare ...

Dracane

Awesome, if this is true I hope, this also goes for the golden saint outfit or others. I unfortunately missed the chance to keep some good outfits, because I have done the quests already and threw the outfits away.

And average clothing is not good enough for my Altmer skin.

DeLindsay

Yeah the irony is when I was stealing everything in sight and got several Clothing items, I didn't once think about equipping them to see what they looked like... fail.

Well, I am. And this obviously isn't for combat. It's for flavor. Shush with your naysaying. What @MornaBaine‌ said.

This is an awesome idea - I would totally join that guild.

If you borrow.... er steal someone motif from their dresser can it still be sold to another player?

Of course not... Because it's MUCH more important to change the color of a stolen corset shirt than your weapons....

Sure, just launder it through your fence, first. You know... to get rid of the evidence.

Laundering the item wipes off any hints to guards that it may have been stolen, so you can then freely trade it with other players, sell it through guild traders or put it in your bank for later.

So I borrow it while treasure hunting and I get to keep it if I launder it with my unmentionables? Then I can sell it?
