Either assassins league or thieves guild style. I'm currently on pts having a look at stuff so if I find out for sure I'll pop back, unless someone beats me to it.

Looks awesome indeed. Especially like the shoulders

NateAssassin

It's assassin's league heavy.

Aleraon

Beat me to it @NateAssassin . Was just crafting some hehe

CasNation

That is pretty slick. I especially like the shoulders and the little daggers on the hip flaps.

nimander99

Assassins League? Is this on PTS or something? I've only seen it on Thieve's Guild NPC's thus far...

olsborg

Nice, can anyone craft medium? oh and @Aleraon how do you get the pages to craft it?

Aleraon

On the pts you get the full book on template characters. Not sure hmm we'll get them once it goes live

By killing world bosses and delve bosses in the Gold Coast and you get the material to craft it by killing people with the blade of woe.

@Ra'Shtar thanks for sharing, the medium looks so nice, shame I cant wear it (due to kena, bloodspawn and vicecanon, shieldbreaker sets that i have to wear)

We really need cosmetic reforging for gear. Or a vanity tab. Or craftable costumes. Come on ZOS. With more and more of the mandatory BiS gear being non-craftable, new motifs are just a frustration for players. 'That looks so bad-ass! I WANT IT! But... I cant wear it. I Need the set bonuses from dropped gear.' Oh well, at least we wont have to farm for the motifs or spend $ on them in the crown store :P

But yeah... think I found a new look for my NB:

Can I use this post to talk about restyling? I'd like to use this post to talk about restyling.

Restyling! Don't like how a particular set item looks? Bored with your old Legendary gear's motif, but don't want to shell out for a new one? Restyling! Cut it, trim it, on-a-whim it! Convert your boring old items into boring NEW items! Just right-click, choose "Convert To Known Style", and open the brand new Restyling UI! Choose a motif you know for the selected item, choose an armor weight, choose a level, and FLAMOOSH! Your item now looks like that thing you picked, but with the functionality you love from the old item! And the best part? It's absolutely FREE!*

*(Warning: some restrictions apply. Cannot convert to an unknown style. Converting an item to a known style binds it to your account. Side effects may include an increase in Crown Store motif sales and player happiness.)

It is not real yet, but if we wave our arms, implore the gods, and yell real loudly, we might get somewhere with it like we did with shield dyes!

The way I see it they can do it 3 ways. Firstly - cosmetic reforging. Similar to what you described but I would not make it free. Free doesnt do anything for in-game economy, in fact it works against it as it would drastically reduce the demand for mats. Also it marginalizes the worth of crafting skills. IMO reforging a piece of gear for a different look should require at least half the mats crafting the item from scratch needs. Maybe have a passive to reduce the cost. Also you need the crafting skill at a rank appropriate to the item you want to work on. As in your suggestion you can only reforge to a style you already know but at any material tier you wish.

Second option is to go with a vanity tab which is basically a 2nd layer of gear slots on your character doll. Those slots are purely cosmetic and only change the appearance of your gear. You can have a monster helmet slotted in your equipment tab and a helmet with a Thieves Guild motif slotted in the vanity tab. What you see in game on your character is the TG helmet. The added benefit of this is that you can look like youre wearing heavy armor when youre actually dressed in light armor (or not, its up to the devs to limit this if they wish) and have the option to use low level item appearance. Again, this needs some restrictions and requirements to make it interesting and not to kill trade. The limitation would be that items placed in a vanity tab become bound to it. You can remove or replace them but then they get destroyed. This system does not require any points in crafting lines but it would create a demand for crafted items with different styles. It would be also possible to have multiple tabs you unlock with gold / crowns / achievements / champion rank. In this version you'd have 3-4 pages in the vanity window so that you can prepare 3-4 different outfits and switch between them at will.

The third option is costume crafting which would basically mean that you can craft your own costumes by stitching together pieces of gear from your inventory. The items you use to make a costume could be bought, looted or crafted by you. They could be mixed and matched from different types, levels and motifs. Youd have to dye them before creating the costume as there is currently no costume dyeing in game. When you craft a costume it would become BoE and youd be able to sell it to other players. Probably the most elegant solution of the 3 as it would expand a feature that is already in game instead of introducing completely new ones.

Restyling should be a skill of the craft, should be accomplished at the workstation and should take materials.

Other than those change... Love it!

Assassins League motif is absolutely amazing! In every weight, every piece, it's just epic!
And matches very well with Undaunted, surprisingly

Very good looks. Mercenary is one of my favorite motifs too.
