Allowing us to craft upper tier gear with lower tier skins/aesthetics?

I find that I prefer many of the lower level skins, mostly due to the more conservative use of details and intricate nuances.

The dye system provides a great form of customization. It would be nice if we could somehow also craft upper tier gear and utilize the full range of looks for a particular racial motif (or at least the skins of the current tier plus those of tiers lower).

The visual changes from tier to tier can be quite dramatic and being able to take advantage of all those skins at max level would add a significant level of customization to end-game players.

    I agree. A lot of the lower tier gear is designed very well. And we never get a chance to really use it because by the time we level the crafting or gather the materials, we have leveled past it.

    Being able to craft lower tier designs, but with high level stats would be great to have and give everyone more choices on how their armor looks at the end game.

    Also, you may wish to re-post this idea in the Feedback & Suggestions forum. I have no idea if any of the Devs actually look there, but it is worth a try. Be nice to see your idea put into the game.

    Especially since lower lvl wood elf gear is more "revealing" compared to the higher end gear. haha ;)

    I think lower lvl Wood Elf gear is my absolute favorite just because a little bit of skin doesn't always hurt. That and low lvl Breton leather for its more true-to-life design.

    Oh, and there is a similar thread in the crafting section.

    While this is a cool idea, I can kind of understand why this medium top:

    Would have a higher armor rating/better stats than this one:

    Agreed, this is why I've been banging on about cosmetic slots since pre-launch - a lot of the lower level gear look so much nicer, before they start sticking on unnecessary studs, spikes and baubles
