Crafting Cloaks

ServerusEcru

Greetings @ZOS_JessicaFolsom. One thing we have been missing and something I think will enhance game play and give us crafter's something to do beyond the harsh jewelry grind...cloak crafting.

Guild Cloaks: This will allow a guild member who is a cloak crafter the opportunity to craft a unique guild cloak that will give your guild a buff when doing PvP in Cyrodiil, Dungeons, Trials or just random adventuring and delving. The tabard thing should be done away with and introduce cloaks that will show guild title and allow players to wear their custom outfits so they can show their guild tag and still be stylish in the fray. It is unfair to players that the only way to wear your tabard is with a crown costume and not a customized costume.

Stylish Cloaks: These will be for cosmetic purposes only, just some fancy stuff for players who are into the look.

How will this cloak work: Cloak crafting will work just like any crafted items. You will go to a cloak crafting station, select race design, trait and craft. Players will be able to enchant, improve cloaks and trade it if it is not equipped. Once owned players can dye them. Guild Cloaks will be the unified color of choice and only used by a member of that guild.

No capes in ESO.

I’d be down to craft some cloaks ...

The physics don't work like that. The only "capes" ESO can handle are like the Breton Hero's costume, and I don't care for "capes" that are stapled to my character's butt.

Yes plz

I do like the idea but I'm not sure if they have ever featured in any of the elder scrolls games. I don't know if the people of Tamriel would wear capes. I'd love to know what the devs think about it.

It would be fascinating to see how many new clipping issues would appear if they ever allowed capes/cloaks.

No thanks. A number of my characters use sword and shield, others use staves, one or two use a bow. So my character would be asking the attacking enemies to please wait until she pulls her shield out from under the cape? Or please wait while she gets her inferno staff untangled from the [totally pointless] flowing cape? Oh, it just occurred to me; I cannot *wait* to see what happens when a dual wield character uses Whirlwind....and gets totally wrapped up in the flowing cape/cloak. Instant straitjacket and fight over......Or would the character have to remove the cape before any fighting happens?

Out of all the issues that need fixed in the game, capes are way, way, way down on the list, imo.

I would have to see more concept art. conceptually I would use cloaks. It's purpose could be another layer of protection so if you get attacked from behind... and you could enchant it with like shielding or something.

or maybe they should just make Robes look nicer

Cloaks haven't existed in any Elder Scrolls game, and implementation of new physics would be horribly taxing on the existing engine. SWTOR uses the same engine, and does not have a separate cloak slot, either.
