Trying to design an outfit: Any advice? Necromancer / Vampire Lord

Serkuos · June 2020

So, lately, I felt the need to take my character to the next level: optimizing my build, creating a really cool outfit for my character, etc...

But honestly, I don't really know what to do.

For now, my current outfit is just full daedric light armor, in black.

I'm looking for something in light armor, all black, maybe something that would look like a long black coat/cape... In short: something really cool for a really powerful mage necromancer / vampire lord.

Does anyone have advice for me to design a cool Necromancer / Vampire Lord Outfit for my character, please?

Everyone has a different opinion of what looks good, but I gave up on the idea of a long coat or cape some time ago. I think its beyond what they can do, as we saw how it looked in the Breton hero costume

The only advice I can give is to check https://eso.mmo-fashion.com/ for ideas, or just play around at an outfit station until you find a combo you like.

Thats what I did for my necro-vamp, and Im pretty happy with the results.

You really should move away from the idea to make your outfit "all black" as it rarely actually looks good. Right now there are hardly any details visible on your outfit. It looks like a black smudge and totally unnatural.

Armor usually has 3 distinct parts to it - the fabric, the leather parts and the metal parts. Try to find different colors for each of them, even if they are all kinda darkish.
