The Reason Armors Change in appearance the higher the Lvl gets is Because of Progression, as you level up in that profession you're going to be creating better newer looking gear. it should equivalently Look like you're getting better at crafting. I do agree that if you like the older Versions then you should have some way to get that look for your characters gear But you're not going to Take Vincent van Goghs First Painting seriously because He didn't know wtf he was doing.

Except the "progression" honestly looks ridiculous on the higher quality gear. There are so many unneeded additions that would make movement ridiculous or cumbersome, especially on medium armor. There's no need for these giant saddle bags. At least with the lower level gear appearances, you can have these less cumbersome and ridiculous appearances.

I'm really frustrated with the state of armor. For some reason, the higher level you get the more complicated the gear needs to look. And there's no way to make the higher level gear at least LOOK like the lower leveled styles.

Will we ever get a transmutation stone that will let us take the look of one set of gear and apply it to another? It's super frustrating when you like the way something looks but as you level up you lose the style forever.

Be careful what you wish for. Transmuting gear is one of the most expensive items in any CashShop-mmo. And the chances Zenimax will give that out for free is minimal.

To be honest, I'd pay for it. With CP points, I now only need one set of V16 gear. I would so pay for the ability to transmute my armor into other looks.

I don't think there's anything wrong with ZOS having a cash shop feature; more revenue means better and new employees, current ones are paid better and made happy, and less outsourcing for customer service things. Seriously, remember, they need to make a living too; this isn't a hobby for them. It's a job.

This is very important to me as well.

I play mmos in part to make my characters, and think about the people they are. Dressing them accordingly is a big part of that. The gradual progression in many games to the 'Enormo-Pauldron' style of 1337ness always frustrates me. Everyone looks ridiculous and the same. My characters aren't usually the special-snowflake hero-type either, so wearing very noticeable (and let's face it, impractical) armour doesn't fit their personalities either. Lower level gear always looks much better to me.

I love to feel I've made my own choices about what my characters wear. The dye system is great but I'd love to see wardrobe/appearance/vanity tabs, with individual armour slots so we can mix and match pieces and customise our people even more. Several other mmos do this very successfully.

I understand money-making is an issue, so maybe buying extra wardrobe tabs would cost Crowns, but I hope we'd get the first one for free.

Incidentally, I've come back to the game recently and was quite excited about the costumes, but finding out they were one piece outfits disappointed me, and I've not bought any as a result.

P.S. I'm not keen on transmog systems. They're always a drag to use - you have to run around, apply stones, apply styles or whatever. Much prefer wardrobe slots - simple and easy to use/change.

If I'm not wrong the best black is Legate Black but what's the best yellow gold?

I agree. A Transmutation stone is a) a cop out, and b) a terrible idea.

It ideally should be done and integrated into crafting. Just like we've suggested (and shown with pictorial examples) in previous replied in this thread. The answer really is very simple, let's just hope the developers understand how much this would add to their game.

I still think a transmutation stone mechanic adds more versatility to the crafting. In your example as shown in the picture (which is awesome, by the way ), the crafter only has the option to craft the same piece of gear, but of lower level appearance. The option nobody here mentioned (to my surprise) is the ability to change the style of dropped sets.

I usually use the combination of crafted and dropped sets and always have the problem with being forced to use sets that look bad combined with my crafted gear, or they just look bad in general. For example, I would like to try out some IC Telvar gear, but I just don't like the look of any Alliance style.

With the Transmutation stone system though, I could make an item of the style I like and combine it with the dropped set piece that I like, and get the result of having both the best set bonuses and the best appearance (it's all a matter of preference of course).

I do hope that, if implemented, it does not get locked behind a paywall, though. I understand that ZOS has to make money, but a poor *** that I am, I would appreciate if they could have both options available - crown store purchase and an in-game drop item (with a low drop rate, for example). They have the same system with the motifs and it works - you can either farm them or buy them if you're lazy.

i dont think it would happen in this game tho eso make to much monies from the costumes

They could make just as much money selling transmutation stones too.

Thats not a bad idea actually.
A token that would allow to combine appearance from one item and stats from another would be great. I'd definitely buy some of those.
