Suggestion: Toggle View Greaves On/Off

I just dont think someone should be penalized for wanting their character to look a certain way. Especially if its Heavy Armor or a set item that requires that item to be on for the set bonus. Im level 22 and already seeing a deficit of around 900 armor rating because I dont want to wear pants. (lol

✭✭✭✭✭I have a better idea.
Let us have a short skirt/kilt option for the leg-covering armor pirces, just like light chestpieces have "jerkin or robe" options. More options are always neat, and then you can go with a xenatastic look...
And while we're at it... I could see more options for other stuff too. How about a "facemask" option for medium helmets? "circlet/crown" option for light helmets? that sort of thing...
And then... a gear recustomization option! Just like imperial characters can turn some gear imperial, make it an option available for everyone - polp the old stuff into a crafting station, add tempers and style materials, reconstruct to desired learned style, enjoy your new great look...0 -

✭I choose not to wear pants on my female character...it is worth the loss in armor.
The armor in this game looks so ugly and ***...most of the time I choose not to even wear it....
It is like the ONLY game where you cant dress your female up a bit sexy...I hate it.
Where is all this sort of ***? This game rated C for children or something?
I still play stupid browser "mmo"s for kicks/ease of use. Ofc, all asian made barely covered females. Every day I look at my girls in ESO the fact that they aren't pixel candy is hands down one of my favorite things about ESO.
That said, I would like more feminine appeal/ability to show some of the currently pointless tattoos they let me have...and a toggle per piece. (Five Armies was on again last night and watching Galadriel walk in bare foot to save Gandalf reminded me again what ESO lacks.....LOTRO has this option)
That can be accomplished while still not equating to a Skyrim lonely guy mod and/or asian browser games

If you are on PC, couldn't you use Wykkyd's Outfitter to make an "in town" set that doesn't include the greaves?
Have my toons have casual outfits that penalize armor quite a bit.
I play on PS4. A buddy of mine said the PC and PS4 versions are very different from eachother and alot of things are missing. He plays both. I bought him the PS4 version for his birthday last week.0 -
milkbox✭✭✭✭✭For what it's worth, you can craft medium leggings in the Argonian style that look a bit like bike-shorts with garters at the lower-levels. If you make them legendary, you could rock them for a long time.0 -
Admittedly I havent played the game enough to experiment yet with other styles. I only got the game a week ago. It was just something ive noticed going from 1-22 so far. I appreciate the suggestions though. Maybe someone can help me figure out a set structure that matches my current look for higher levels.0

Yeah, Wykkyd's Outfitter is an addon, so you can't use it on console. Sorry.
It lets you save pre-set gear sets and switch them in a few seconds. It's great if your toon has different roles (ie, healer/DPS), but also if you want to have "in-town" outfits that have less armor.The Moot Councillor0 -

Im not sure how crafting works yet, but can I wear Argonian as an Imperial? I just need access to craft it right?0 -

One of the Motif's I have says requires L9 of any passive woodworking, blacksmithing, and I think clothier. I have L12 blacksmithing but I still cant use it. Not sure why?
I think its for Dwemer Bows. Does that mean I need it specifically for Woodworking since its associated with bows?0 -
Cazzy✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭Yeah, it means you need to get your skill up in Woodworking and put skill points in that area to craft them. The one you have is quite rare but when you come across blue motifs you should be able to craft that armour right away. So if you find a blue 'Orc' motif you can craft any level Orc armour and weapons 0 -

You can wear any armor as any race. You can either ask someone to make them for you, or make them yourself.
You need to get a copy of the Racial Motifs: Argonian book and invest a few points in the Clothier skill tree.
Currently, Argonian-medium guards are the only items in game that show any thigh, and that only goes up to level 24. After that, everything are full pants (except for Primal, which ends at the knee). You could upgrade them with tempers (blue, purple or gold) to make them a higher armor value.
Pictured are the items at level 14 (less garters) and level 24 (more garters), which might help you decide if it's even worth it.

I have quite a few Motifs I have found, cant remember all the names of them other than the Dwemer Bow on. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I was wondering why I couldnt use it because I believe the flavor text says "any" and doesnt specifically state Woodworking.

Those look pretty neat, but I dont think it fits the style im looking for. Is that belt part of the Argonian style as well or is that something else? Cause that looks really cool. I do like the cross over top though. The cross over top with a skirt type bottom would be really good combination. Guess ill have to experiment as the tails on mine pictured on the front page is actually part of the chest itself.Edited by DigitalHitmann on August 14, 2015 5:45PM0 -
rb2001✭✭✭✭If you don't want to wear greaves, actually be like Xena and deal with the consequences. I have no idea why anyone thinks you should gain the armor without visually wearing it. That makes no sense whatsoever.
The hide helmet options really bothers me. How can you have the armor of something without it being there? I am unable, within forum rules, to express my thoughts..4 -

The level the motif requires doesn't refer to your crafting level (1-50). The level refers to the passive abilities (tailoring, woodworking, or metalworking) that let you use certain materials (1-9). Any blue motif can be crafted with one point put into any of the passive abilities. The more rare ones (purple and gold) required a higher amount of points put into them.
So, for example, you have a motif that says it requires level 9 and you want to some heavy armor (blacksmithing). That means you need to put 9 points into metalworking. To be able to put those points into metalworking, you need to raise your blacksmithing level to open up higher levels of metalworking.0 -

It is "any" and not specifically woodworking. It's referring to your rank in the appropriate passive for that skill, though, not your level in the skill. So you might have clothier at level 10 (for example), but because it requires rank 9 in the passive (for clothing the appropriate passive is Tailoring, while for blacksmithing the appropriate passive is Metalworking, and for woodworking the appropriate passive is Woodworking Skill) you won't be able to use it, as you need to be clothier level 40 in order to put your 9th skill point into the Tailoring passive to be at rank IX.DigitalHitmann wrote: »Yeah, it means you need to get your skill up in Woodworking and put skill points in that area to craft them.

Ohhh, okay. That makes sense now. Thank you for explaining it to me. Appreciate it.0 -

Nosam✭✭✭I prefer my Lineage 2 Dark Elven Dark Phantom look myself. I'm always amused at the prudes who have no issue with magic spells , blood and guts and killing , but are horrified at seeing skin and bring up the reality card in a game with spells.

If your character doesn't wear any greaves, then why should your character benefit from such? From a roleplaying point of view, I don't see why you should gain bonuses from an item you don't wear.KanedaSyndrome's Suggestions For Game Improvements

Because from a role-playing perspective I could be casting an illusion spell that causes you to believe I am missing armor, when I am in fact not The same illusion that allows one to polymorph
