Xivkyn hat not for Gold Lovers?

Gargath · April 2016

So on vet1 I crafted heavy Xivkyn chest with all other parts in light Argonian style. Painted in alchemist bilious with coldharbour black - and got an epic look.

Now on vet10 I crafted same Xivkyn chest with all other parts in light Xivkyn style. Painted also in the same dyes. And see what?

Xivkyn hat looks like some rubbish second-hand jagged dishrag. Available only in mat dyes, nothign shiny can be applied.
The famous rare Xivkyn hat needs more gold! Both medium and heavy helmets look great in gold, but not the hat? I'm really disapointed.

@ZOS pls make Xivkyn hat more epic.

Just found how the Xivkyn hat should look like, still not epic gold, but better shape

I don't see anything at all because the screenshots are awfully dark. Could you stand in the sun next time you want to show people your armor?

There's not only one armor style that look as good as in promo pictures or that doesn't look extremely stupid, ugly or both when dyed.

There's a few helms that don't dye similar to the rest of the armors. It's rather annoying.

Try to focus on the hat:
1. in Dwemer ruins you see an Argonian's hat dyed in billious and no sun is needed to see it's gold with strong shiny effect. In fact the unique lighting in Dwemer ruins increases the shining effect on armor.
2. on ship's deck you see Xivkyn's hat dyed in same billious with a sun shining from back (see the direction of the shadow from sun), but the hat is the only part of Xivkyn, which isn't gold/shiny.
3. No matter what dyes are applied on Xivkyn hat, all are matt, and this is wrong considering all other parts of set are shiny at least in one detail.
