Personally of the two I prefer Krytan - the overlapping plates on the legs and arms is slightly less generic looking. Though, personally as far as 1.5k armor goes (or I guess now 1k armor) they are my two least favorite. Like others I prefer to mix and match and since the normal stuff iis not able to added to your HoM I almost never use a full set.

If I had to choose (and I assume you have factions as otherwise the loss of insignias sucks too much to use) I much prefer the Shing Jea for male and Ascalon for female. Well, technically I prefer Luxon for both but they do require some more rare materials than the others placing them as "in between" armors - and luxon is my overall favorite non-ascended warrior armor (though I like both Templar and the Female Char Hide 1.5k's as close seconds).

Krytan doesn't have insignia slots when it comes from a collector. It can only be crafted (in Factions) with an insignia slot.

Guild Wiki Official:
"The only armor types which will not accept Insignia are max collector armor and festival hats, both of which indicate that they will not accept insignia in their descriptions."

Guild Wiki:
"All pieces of armor, except the max AL ones obtained from collectors, allow for an Insignia to be added."

Techincally you can, there is an armour crafter I've come across outside of Sanctum Cay that crafts Krytan, but it's not max AL.

Oh I see, but if I get max I will get Templar and not either Krytan or Tyrian, so it's cool. So do collector Krytan armor have insignia slots? It says on wiki that less than maz AR collector armor have insignia slots. But I don't see any on my AR 27 Krytan armor. Does it tell u if there is a slot or not when u move ur mouse over it?

Try to add an insignia. That will tell you if there's a slot or not.

Haha, I purchased ele Krytan a few days ago.. it looks really good.. much better than aeromancers (and the central transfer chamber reskin).

I still prefer my 15k Kurz though

To answer the OP's question... I think Tyrian is better for all except elementalist.

Sir Tidus · Jan 23, 2008, 10:00 PM // 22:00

I think that Tyrian looks better on elementalists (especially female), and on everyone else, Krytan looks better. But I guess it's a matter of opinion.
