Let's talk disguises

Tonturri

As there's no 'suggestion forum' (that I could find) I'll be putting this little bit here.



I enjoy doing the side quests. I spent a while in game ensuring that, along the way towards the next destination of the main quest, I pick up (and complete!) all the little ones.

Sometimes I come across a quest that requires me to get a costume to sneak into a camp and steal something. Now, the costume isn't required to do it - I could just slaughter everything in the camp and take what I need. I don't mind that.

I'm currently working on the Raise the Curtain quest in Malabal Tor. After two attempts so far, I've found that the costume I get (a nice pirate/first mate looking thing) disappears once the first mate shows up when I'm stealing the key-thingy.

Now, I just want to know whose genius idea it was to make costumes disappear at certain parts of the quest. They're still items. You can still delete/toss them out if you don't want 'em. But why can't I keep some of them?

In short: Let [us] keep costumes we want, pretty please *

*If anyone has a way to do this (I haven't tried putting it in the bank yet and then retaking the quest, about to do that), please share and I will trade my soul for the information.

Another note - anyone know the name of the quest that gives you that black-leatehr looking costume that says 'Allows you to disguise yourself as a member of the invading Ebonheart Pact forces."?

I think that quest is even broken. It deleted my Veiled Heritance disguise from a quest in Auridon, but customer support restored the item, gladly.

Yeah, I like that one too. I picked up one those disguises for each of my characters. You can pick up the quest at the wayshrine; Quendeluun, just outside of Skywatch on the eastern edge of Auridon. The quest-giver is sitting on the ground with his back against the shrine structure, itself - so, it's difficult to miss.

I play Ebonheart Pact exclusively so far but made a character specifically to get my hands on those disguises. It was tricky getting a very low level character there and into the quest then surviving long enough to grab a few of the disguises (must re-enter/deposit in bank, then withdraw it from the bank with another character before being able to grab another from the quest) but, whatever, I like doing goofy, ultimately pointless stuff like that.

Oh, and by the way, you don't have to retake the quest. Just leave and then come back. Nothing resets, ya just pick up where ya left off. The disguise container constantly refreshes it's contents - just need to make sure you don't already have a copy on your active character or in the bank (again; you must withdraw it from bank with another character) or no soup for you!

Anyway, good luck.

Measles.

Aye, I love collecting disguises! I haven't tried yet, but does anyone know if they go away when you enter combat even after the quest is done? I really like the looks of some and want to wear them, but I don't wanna risk losing them.

Cheers!

PS: Reason why the disguises are so popular? Some of them allow us to wear normal/commoner looking clothes! I want some of those too!

Thanks all for the responses Got my lost costume restored, and the bank thingy does work

Bleakraven, some go away when you enter combat - IIRC, the one in that zone after...Grahtwood I think? Where you surround yourself with moths to sneak into a camp of I think it was wood orcs...that one I found went away when I entered combat, BUT I was able to pick up another copy of the costume at the end of the quest when I walked past the tree.

Where is that tree again? I ask because I recently did that quest and was disappointed the moth disguise went away and I want it back.

I just looted a cool item that allows you to be a skeleton in Shadowfen.

Once I use a costume for whatever it's needed for (getting past the guards) right after I get past whatever it was needed for, I take it off so I don't lose it during the quest. I love collecting costumes too!

You can also put a costume in the bank, take it out on a different character, and then get another on your original character and you won't be flagged as already having one.

Good question...try around camp gushnukbur - it's the eye symbol near far right side of the map then down a little bit. Dunno the exact location
