Fashion Experts of ESO, got any advice for a good out for a vampire?

Matthew_Galvanus · May 2020

As the title says. what advice do you have for picking styles and colors for a decent vampire outfit? I have been trying for the last 2 bloody hours to create something halfway decent, but i dont know if im just tired, or if my fashion sense in ESO is terrible, but i cannot for the life of me make a decent outfit for my vampire sorcerer. does anyone have any advice on what styles and colors would look good on vampires? And since i cant ask for advice on the ESO reddit since apparently discussing outfits is forbidden, i gotta ask here.-_-

Paradisius · May 2020

For colors, Hollowfang Cruor and Coldharbour Ash Black fit the Vampire theme well, as for the look, thats more subjective. I personally love the New Moon Priest heavy chest. But you could wear outfits that fit the dark theme of Vampires such as Dark brotherhood, Xivkyn, Dremora, etc..

Also, the Greymoor style will release soon after Greymoor release, and is made specifically with a Vampire aesthetic!

EDIT: I forgot to add the screen shot of my Vampire MagCro, so here!

What type of vampire are you looking for? The more sinister type or one that is lavish and shows his power and wealth something in between or completely different? I did this with mine. It was black and red but I like the yellow better.

MartiniDaniels · May 2020

I may recommend Coldharbour Black for vampires, it is sinister and dyes consistently with majority of motifs (for example on screenshot all parts are from different motif styles, but due to this color look like from one).

Tessitura · May 2020

I added the Bloodfiend skin cause it added a little extra " *** stay away from me! " to the image, but as you can see, it ticks all the boxes for blood sucking undead horrors. Shadows, red eyes, ornate and old looking armor.

Nemesis7884 · May 2020

These armor sets i think are decent
ebony
the new greymoor
assassins league
celestial
dremora
ebonshadow
grim harlequin
moongrave fane
sapiarch
meridian

colors i personally always go for
dark reds, dark purples and blacks
blacks: thalmor black, sergeants chacoral, cold harbour black, noxophilic black
reds: dragon knights blood, regicide red, pact blood red, pact conqueror red
purples: captains violet, indomitable violet, shein violet, beast collector violet, clothier purple, epic purple

@Nemesis7884 None of the above, I am a Breton. Been my favorite race since launch.

Could I perhaps get what armor you're using and the dyes?

ZaroktheImmortal · May 2020

I used the breton hero outfit with black and red dyes

Aelorin · May 2020

Black, red and silver allways make a good combo for a vampire.O

Also, a lot of black is also good.

Banana · May 2020

Anything that covers the head is a good start

Michae · May 2020

I like the masked hood and Naryu's goggles combo. Obviously ESO vampire strand isn't hurt by the sun but I reckon it isn't exactly pleasing for them to walk around during the day, plus their appearance is kinda obvious. So full face hood, covering nose, mouth and forehead plus goggles for eye protection sounds reasonable. Here's my vampire's outfit from Dark Brotherhood days.

Crafty Lerisa's Costume worked for me pretty well too.

And Covenant Scout too.

EDIT: A spelling mistake was hurting my eyes. I had to correct it.

Glurin · May 2020

Given the skin tone vampires tend to have, you generally want to shoot for darker colors as a contrast. Bright colors will just make them look even more washed out. That doesn't mean you can't have any bright colors. They just need balanced out with dark ones. Look at @kargen27 's post for example. Lots of bright yellow in there, but it's on a black base which contrasts with the skin.

As for style, whatever floats your boat.

Fischblut · May 2020

I mostly use red/black/white combination for my vampires. Black and white worked great too:

If only we could have vibrant body art on their skin

BoraxFlux · May 2020

Wormcult, Daedric, Xivkin, Celestial, Scalecaller (staff) in Motif Master Brown and Maomer Eyes Grey
Feather Brows of Mystery, High Vampiric headdress and Bloodfiend skin.

XomRhoK · May 2020

I strongly recommend preview Bloodfiend skin before buying it. At screenshots above it looks good, but mostly because of dim lighting and closed clothes with hood.

This how it looks in reality, more like a zombie or Freddy Krueger, in my opinion:

I think, it still can be used to create good looking vampire, but you need to use closed clothes, long hair and beard.

CMDR_Un1k0rn · May 2020

Surely the best Vampire outfit is what stands out the least?

ZOS_Adrikoth · May 2020

There are some good tips in here! Thanks for sharing these screenshots everyone.

That must be the reason why vampires detest the (sun)light

Lotus781 · May 2020

If you're planning on using the new vampire skill line in pvp i would suggest wearing one of these, preferably the big one.

MarzAttakz · May 2020

Any motif set will work, it just honestly depends on your race and tastes.

But some right away thoughts are Ebon, Divine Prosecution, Fang Lair, Dragon Bone, Sapiarch, Worm Cult, New Moon, Grim Harlequin and Dremora. DarkBrotherhood can work too if you want it.

But in the end, it's less about the motifs and more on the Colors
Cold-Harbour Ash Black or Legate Black
Hollowfang Crour (though I know that one isn't easy to get so some alt reds in the spoiler)

Daedric Red (just very grindy and it's more faded)
Rank 10 Materials (it's like Daedric Red in the end)
Sadly Red is hard to come by color in this game.... or at least a good red. Hollowfang will be your best bet though.

For the Third color, if you choose to have one. I'd personally go with Antique Silver or Frozen Blood.
However that third color could be anything you want, I just recommend something a tad on the brightside to break up all the darkness. But your outfit you swing it your way.

So for a quick example, I tossed together a few differing outfits

The one with Divine Prosection as the chest is the one I use. But this wasn't put together to show off outfits this was to show what Coldharbour Ashblack and Hollwfang Crour can do

Lotus781 · May 2020

Purple always works for me

Irfind · May 2020

Chest, shoulders - Legion Zero
Gloves, shoes - Dremora
Legs - Xivkyn

BoraxFlux · May 2020

One other:

Periyte Skeevemaster costume and Psijic Skullcap, both dyed Coldharbour Ash black.

You can't even see, the filter is so thick.

TropicsDelight · May 2020

Once I finished the Dark Brotherhood campaign that costume has been my default set.

For my Stamcro I do not mind getting some armor look going with leather, mail, and plate. But for my Magcro I am looking for strictly dark robes, cloaks, and cowls.

The ideal look for me would be a long dark cloak with a hooded cowl so you can see the face inside the cowl but it comes up over the face a lot. This works better for role playing a character in Greymore who is obviously going to be fairly unpopular in most towns due to her state and must mostly hide her looks. A cowl much like this.

I do like the look of a long cloaked back over a light/medium armor jack type of look. Much like Zarok and Borax did above. In the pictures below would be cool chest armor type that acts like a cloak and tunic but would allow the legging and arms to be seen, it would be pretty outstanding in game if they could get the physics work right on it and allow a lot of customization with so much other armor visible but still keeping that robe/cloak feeling and look.

Plus, Lotus781, what the heck is that fur around your shoulders? Is that part of a costume, robe? I am pretty sure it is not a shoulder because I have looked through the entire list of shoulders looking for ones not made for the NFL and the best I can come up with is Honor, which can mostly be hid, and as such sell for 200k gold in game...

Tessitura · May 2020

I wanted to add a little more to this, remember your colors do not have to be red and black, stuff that makes a outfit look old, like dull golds, and silvers work really well too. Dark blues can be beautiful if done right on your outfit. Just play around with your dyes till you find something you like. The Wayrest Outfit Station is out side and gives you some of the best lighting for picking your colors, so also try going there to experiment.
