Ohhh I see what you mean, sorry. I keep forgetting lower level materials change the look xD
Thats Im wearing now, and I agree more like the old daedric armor. What does it look crafted with Iron though?
I might whip up a couple of pieces. Kind of interested myself to see if it keeps a similar shape to end game Xivkyn.
It doesn't look like the daedric changes much. This is daedric in iron - http://eso-fashion.com/daedric-iron/

✭✭✭✭✭This is the level 1 (Iron) Xivkyn helmet and chest piece (the rest is other random stuff I was wearing). Looks like the style stays the same

Aelthwyn✭✭✭✭From what I can tell those special motifs retain the same style in every level of material, the default coloring or shineyness may vary a little but with dyes that doesn’t make much difference. I think some shields change slightly as well as weapons, but the main armor pieces don’t appear to.
Personally I’m rather a fan of Ancient Elf heavy, minus those gigantic pauldrons, and currently have one of my characters wearing that style in Steel, but it really depends on your character’s personality, Daedric and Xivkyn have that more spikey-evil vibe if you want to look menacing. I really like the mercenary helm for more a Knight type character.5

✭✭✭✭✭Personally I'm a huge fan of Xivkyn heavy, because it resembles the older TES games daedric armour. I do prefer the Daedric looking weapons and shield however.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭This is me with the Xivkyn heavy armour polymorph, but the crafted armour looks very similar

Ive seen Imprial at low levels and it really doesn't stand out. But daedric and glass styles have always been then most uniquely designed amor sets in TES games0
