I just love the pot, Crusader look.

Ragnarock41 · December 2017

I would very much prefer to have the spear instead, but whatever.

Morgha_Kul · December 2017

I do like the spear, but to me the Helm would be priority...

If you really want a pot helmet, check out Cadwell's Helm of Heroism:

More seriously though, the closest helm to want you want is the Treasure Hunter Costume or the Scarlet Judge costume:

Engine Guardian has something of the look: https://eso.mmo-fashion.com/engine-guardian/
Daggerfall Covenant is similar, but far more ornate: https://eso.mmo-fashion.com/daggerfall-covenant/
Heavy Mercenary isn't too bad, but its not a bucket helm: https://eso.mmo-fashion.com/mercenary-iron/
Abah's Watch Heavy, if you are okay with the pointed helm: https://eso.mmo-fashion.com/abahs-watch-iron/

What is with people wanting to recreate Crusade aesthetics? I mean I guess not everyone has studied the Crusades like I have but like just they were absolutely awful on so many levels.

Edit: The arms and armor weren't even that great and also did not look remotely like what people think, full plate just wasn't a thing then yet look at OP's image.

Use the upcoming transmog system to convert your helmet in to a clockwork city barrel

Everybody has their preferences, I want the bodies.

Isn't the heavy mercenary helmet a lot like that? If not that one, Breton should be closest.

LMAO ancient and medieval warfare was always horrible regardless of context, People don't really care about it that much in a video game. I am incredulous that there is any reason beyond aesthetics that people are interested in this armor.

Actually, I'm quite familiar with the history. However, I just like the aesthetic of it, from my days playing D&D. I had a miniature that wore a helmet like that (though the tabard was quite different).

Because pop culture only references the Knights Templar and rarely mentions any other sect from that time period.

That is a Great helm, And it would be amazing to have a Set similar to the Knights of the 9 Crusader armor.

They could make a Whitestrakes Motif....

*shivers* this would be super sexy...

phairdon · December 2017

Knights of the nine.

It should be a motif available during the Midyear Mayhem event to celebrate ye ol' Pelinal Whitestrake!

JoffyToffy69 · December 2017

Argonian helm us the closest thing

kojou · December 2017

The bucket is pretty close.

Better not be any elves in this thread.

I prefer the late medieval armors myself, full plate just before firearms made you go all or nothing. Having NASA and other looking into gothic plate for hard space suit designs 500 year later is cool.
Its nice that war is so cruel or we would get too found of it

starkerealm · December 2017

The Atmoran helmets are kinda boxy bullets, with gigantic horns grafted on. So, that's a thing.

Taleof2Cities · December 2017

You can obtain that helmet by downloading Oblivion and the Knights of the Nine plug-in ... then pressing 'play'.

Very nice, but I could do without the wings on the sides.

VaranisArano · December 2017

If those wings were good enough for Pelinal Whitestrake, they're good enough for you.

...as were ALL the wars back then. Or before. Or after.
...
What? You thought things were any better during the roman legionaires days, or for the musketeers? You think war was less awful for chinas unification wars or the american civil war? You think things were nice in the world war or during alexanders conquests?
War.
War never changes.

Actually... not at the start of the crusades, true, back then it was more... chainmail and a helmet. But... the crusades were not exactly a decade long fashion, the period where people got up to crusading went on for -centuries-, and by the end of it, that depicted "mail & half-plate" setup would be fitting tight into the battlefield...

And such a "bucket helmet" design -would- fit right into ESO. Somewhere between imperial and breton design philosophies I would think... a breton design from an earlier age, perhaps, found in ancient ruins, or some late nedic style... something like that.

So, why not hope the powers that be will add it sometime?

...were founded in 3E 111, thats still a couple centuries in ESOs future.
How-ever... their style IS made after the armor of Pelinal Whitestrake after all... who wore -just- that sort of helmet (gifted by the eight divines, or so the legend goes), so it would be -quite- logical for the style to exist in the ESO timeframe as his alessian fan clubs copy the style!
(it would even be reasonable to assume the wings on the helmet are for the masters of some ESO-current order honoring this hero, and rank and file knights might do without...

)

Bhaal5 · December 2017

Back to OP, yes would be nice having the knights of the nine armour. Though may have to be called something else. Pretty sure talos hasnt done his thing yet and ascend up stairs to upper eso management.

Enemy-of-Coldharbour · December 2017

Since ESO has a Templar class, we definitely should have a Templar motif.
