I did buy the 1.5k Nightstalker armour, which was too expensive, and was hoping it would look like the old version did. Is there some small ray of hope that I don't have to buy 1.5k armour all over again to get the proper nightstalker skin?

Here are some answers for you.

You do not need to join a faction side to craft 1.5k armor.
You do need to do the storyline to get the quest(s) that take you to the capital of each city.
Cantha has 3 different looking armor skins on the 3 different armor crafters that are near each other.
All armor skins are now able to be bought with any stats on them you wish.
There is an Exotic Armor crafter out in the wajiun bazaar that will give you an armor with a skin that was in early release of the game (like a more advanced version of the newbie chainmail for warriors). He is on the coast/docks in the middle
Jadeite/Amber can only be bought with faction points and you need 3-9 pieces per armor part. How many faction points is unknown as the trader is broken, thus making Luxon/Kurzik armor unavailable.
You must fully beat the game to make 15k armor and bring all components with you before you go to the merchant and you'll have to beat it again every time you want to go back.
