Finally finished the Trinimac Motif!

Recremen · March 2016

It is, of course, extraordinarily beautiful. I applaud the intricate stitchwork, the bold shoulder design, the curved tails on the pants, and the cuffs. There are absolutely never enough shirts with sleeves, and hardly enough gloves to go with the few that exist, so this is a great addition. The only thing I'm sad about is how they dye! I can't get a proper dark color on them at all. Certainly nothing as dark as the concept art.

A lot of motifs have similar unfortunate properties. Please tell me, is there any hope in the future of giving players more control in the dye system? I'd love to be able to brighten up certain areas of Xyvkin cloth, for instance (or make two-toned dyes work on it, period). Similarly, I'd love to removed the washed-out look on my Imperial Medium shoulders. It gets incredibly hard to take full advantage of the dye system and the multitude of motifs when mixing and matching produces so many off-target results.

Anyone else having similar issues?

Yes, some armor sets force a glossy color on some pieces when you really want matte. I don't see this being high in priority at all. I have found that some of the "common" dyes can actually look a lot better than the "ultra rare" dyes on some armor pieces, even though the ultra rare dyes are supposed to be very strong colors.

Never said it was high priority, but it would open up a lot more options than the dye system currently offers and could provide a good template going forward regarding how they let players control dyes on future motifs.

Nirnroot grey looked fabulous on my robe in the Ancient Orc style. I'm not a fan of glossy, but man that warm grey looked really stunning on that light armor piece. So, yeah completely agree.

Congrats! I got my first chapter today doing a delve daily. Hoping to get the chapter for the helmets soon. The medium Trinimac helmet looks awesome.

Teridaxus · March 2016

Please make screenshots of all pieces, espiaclly of the weapons at vet 16 and post them at eso fashion since zos don't seem to add armour preview in the near future.

This is actually kind of what I'm talking about. While testing colors, I came to the same conclusion about Nirnroot Gray (love it on the cloth pieces of Khajiit Medium as well when I'm going for a lighter palette). This is a problem in my opinion, since a more diverse color set should be immediately appealing on any given item. If you could reproduce that dye color/material effect on other pieces of armor, wouldn't you? All I'm saying is that more control over these interactions between color and material would be incredibly useful and result in more variety between players.

I can't make any promises on that. I don't have the bank space to store so many items, nor do I have the style materials necessary to make it happen. If we were able to freely restyle our own gear once we've learned the motif (think Convert To Imperial Style), that would be one thing, but that's a gosh darn lot of Auric Tusks or Mimic Stones to blow through.

I bet it still has stupid looking flappy hips

Didaco · March 2016

I just got the chest motif page. Yesterday I got the maces/maul one, the maul looks brutal xD But I'll just stick to my soul-shriven scythe, got to love that wep.

Question: which color is the whitest possible of all? I'm looking for something that works like the Coldharbour Black, that can apply a matte layer even on the most shiny armors (almost).

Nope!

At least as far as the light armor goes, there are only a couple of stylish hoop accents, no giant tassets.

EDIT: Note: not my character displayed.

Either Julianos White or Palatine White they look different from each other in the case of palatine is a more shiny silver white while julianos is just white like fresh snow.

Unfortunately, the light armor at least automatically changes the color to be super shiny and bright. You might get far with Julianos White or Lamae's White, though. Julianos is incredibly bright, Lamae's is about the same but not so shiny.

@Recremen

Nice...they're finally starting to see how stupid hip flaps are. I can't remember the style but I had a robe not long ago that had the most ridiculous looking hip flaps, it looked like they split a fancy looking bucket in half and tacked 1 half to each side of the robe. I think I snapped a pic to show a friend which I'll post if I can find it.

Some of them seem a bit out of place, but I get why they're on certain pieces of armor. Some even look great, like on Khajiit Medium! Then again, pretty much everything Khajiit looks great.

Wrothgar Delve Dailies.

Yeah I finished mine a few days ago. Only thing missing for me is 1 DC motif and 3 Akaviri motifs and I'll have everything. Woohoo

Hey if you're on PC NA and are good with a 3:1 conversion rate, I'd be happy to sell you some Akaviri motifs. ;-)

How long did it take? I need this, unfortunately i really only enjoy pvp

I lucked out and got 2 drops over the course of 2 weeks. I quickly realized getting them by doing the delve quests was completely futile and took out a second mortgage on my house to afford the rest of them off of guild traders.

Oh_Skrivva · March 2016

@Recremen, appreciate the offer but I farm for things I want. That is how one stays rich (9 million in gold and counting). Besides im a crafter for my friends who pvp a ton and they give me the akaviri pieces I need for free.

Oh_Skrivva · March 2016

Btw I got mine from doing daily delve quest on 14 toons daily. I had to trade a few duplicates I had for pieces I needed as well.

ZOS also needs to fix the size scaling for female characters and various different races. I made the Trinimac Medium helm, and on my Bosmer NB the helm looks a bit awkward and large like it was made for a character with a larger frame. When my male character uses it, it looks just fine.

Ffastyl · March 2016

The dye system assigns material types to each dye slot, allowing dyes to apply realistically to equipment. Dying a metal the same color as cloth will not yield the same result. Rare dyes partially override the material they are applied to; there are exceptions, but in general a rare dye will look almost the same across all materials.

To test this out for yourself, use the Entoloma Blue dye (acquired from the Truly Legendary achievement) on various parts of your armor. It will appear a different color on leather than it does on metal, and different types of cloth and metal take on the color differently too.

Taleof2Cities · March 2016

I also have been doing the dailies to gather motifs when not in PvP ... three weeks' dailies on eight characters (plus trading extra motifs for ones I didn't have) was enough to craft the 9-trait V16 set pictured below.

A bit of work ... but had some pride in not having to guildstore buy motifs like other guildies did ...

Yeah, it always weirds me out when I start having a chat with a bucket with a lady's voice. Some of them helms are just cray-cray.

Yes, I am aware of how the dye system works. I'm saying that it would be great to update it and give more control to the users for how a color appears on a material. Then we could mix and match motifs more!
