Definetly imperial. use daggerfall myself, but with your setup imperial looks waaay better
And heavy chest.

I’d say Breton works best with both because it appears to have an equal amount of leather and metal and the somewhat swirly pattern on them ties in with the swirly engraving on the heavy chest and flaps on the medium. I do like the Imperial with the medium chest though, if you were going to do two different ones.

Thanks for your feedback guys, appreciate it!

Kinda leaning toward Breton a bit but the only thing bothering me is that part with the swirly pattern that I have textured to be brown like leather seems to have kind of a metallic sheen to it. Those shoulders are VR9 and only superior quality so I'm not sure if that shininess is gonna be more pronounced at VR16 when they're better quality or not. Trying to decide before I spend the mats basically.

I vote covenant. The patterning on it suits the patterning on the mercenary chest.

I went on the test server and whipped up an example test for you. Here’s a picture showing the Breton Arm Cops and Mercenary Jack/Cuirass in the highest level possible to craft of Rubedo Leather/Rubedite, at both purple and gold improvement levels. I made sure to use the dyes you mentioned above.



It doesn’t seem to be letting me click on the larger version of this picture, so here is a link

Oh man I didn't even think about using the PTS, whoops. Thanks for going through the extra effort there!

You’re welcome! I’ve recently been testing out all the different styles on my characters after creating a template character and discovering the wealth of materials in that ‘ultimate crafting crate’ I’m so glad they added that to the test server!
