Suggestion - Cosmetic reforging

So many sets, so many styles, why not open up the cosmetic possibilities.

It's simple.

You have a set that cant be crafted, your build depends on this set bonus but you really dislike how the set looks. You go to the appropriate crafting station and go to a new "Reforge" tab, you add the item and the style material you want the item to have, click reforge and boom the item changes appearance from its original to the new style.
Should only work on crafting styles learned though.

This is purely for cosmetic purposes.

Opinions?

    Great idea but will probably also need a crown store item :p

    Probably. Would be a good way to add more income to the game :)

    Basically everyone wants this, though I and many others would want to take it a step further, letting you change some item to look like lower level versions of armor if you want, as well as making it look like the light, medium, or heavy version on a whim.

    My group is already theorycrafting and it looks like it's going to be another "mandatory magicka build" patch. Hugely bad news for me, as I like how I look in my medium armor and most of the new required sets are non-craftable. It's gonna be hundreds of people in black Breton facemasks all over again.

    Exactly. No fun looking identical to everyone else using the same sets. Wont hurt anyone having cosmetic reforging. It must happen

    Another idea to add to it @ZOS_GinaBruno :

    The new mimic stones coming to the crown store can be used.


    Put item A into the reforge tab, add style material or item which appearance you want on item A, add mimic stone, click reforge.
    Style material/item B is destroyed, item A gets the appearance of item B, mimic stone is consumed. Item A gets bound to account.

    Every time new non-crafted sets are released people will want mimic stones to change appearance and change looks

    Zenimax, its a goldmine for you and us vain players get what we want. Its a win - win situation.

    I'd love this!

    some of the earlier simple styles are my favorites, but at the higher levels it can get too fancypants.
