Just an idea to have personal armor made the way you want it the same as with the cape.

After completing each area like from Ascalon to Yak's, that is doing all the missions and bonuses there will be a God Shrine in Yak's.

In your hero window it will show missions and bonuses completed you can then get a piece of armour from the God Shrine. There maybe 2 types if you dont complete bonuses then you get one but if u do missions and bonuses you can choose between the 2 choices. ie for warrior leather type or Steel armor types.
But you will only get one piece ie gloves in yak's.
The next one will be Lions Arch ie boots at a God Shrine.
Then next one at Droknars ie pants so on so on until the end of game for the chest piece.
That means the only way to get this type of armour full set is to complete the whole game for customised armour.

Once you have unlocked each part you can go back and change it ie, if there are upgrades or changes to armour or u would like the other piece or whatever reason because you have completed the missions and bonuses its yours and wont cost anything or maybe let it cost something like 5k to change a made piece of armor if you want to change it later on.

So ok whats going to make this armor so special?
I think if there was a number of options available the same way for capes
for each char class and colours, Build your own armor unlocked only if missions and bonuses for area completed.
So many people say this or that armor is not worth it, no point etc.
Or would like to have white armor like the White mantle this way they can have it but only by building it themselves.
If you put a req a rare item on it to have crafted then it will be open to people selling that crafting item around the God shrines defeating the purpose in a way.
If its infused armor it will remain infused
Making it so all other armor and dyes is for fun dress up etc for chars

Or in the Temple of Ages set it so that the same thing unlock each piece of armor after you have finished each area ie uw or fow if you want to change it then maybe it will cost so many shards and ecto to do later if u want

This way it will still work with having favor and and it gives you more of a personal touch with the game in what you want.
Its very much an entirely cosmetic armor you decide on what it looks like same way as the cape, not a super armor

Theres some NPC called Warmaster something or whatever his name is thats wearing some hot looking knights armor. If i had a pic I'd show ya, but I really think the 15k should look something like that

Its very simple
its about making an armor you want just like a cape pick colour and style with being able to something like an upgrade the same as for weapons
You have the base defence of the armor but if you want +5 to physical damage or element damage etc you can its up to you to decide what you want
this allows you make it a style and colour with defense bonuses you want simple
the upgrades or defense bonuses can be unlocked etc in the same way as for Pvp but maybe it will cost you in shards and ectos this will still help and reason for favor
Each piece of armor you get only after completing an area of the map
as an example from the desert to Droknar and doing all missions and bonuses then in Drokar there is a God Shrine (can only talk to them when we have favor) the same ones as in Temple of Ages
Ok so you can get only one piece after each area completed say leggings in Droknar with base def you make it up what style and colour
and so on until the end of game for the chest piece
Or if not this way then do it so if you have completed each area of the uw or fow you are able to get this armor one piece per uw or fow only with upgrades or unlocks only by getting so many shards or ecto
I dont think I can simplify it anymore than that

Its his posting style that makes it hard to read. You know... No periods or paragraphs. He wants it like the guild emblemer basically. You choose styles. You choose colors. You choose bonuses and stuff like that.

I would support the idea if it was entirely cosmetic (pick out the way it looks and stuff like that), because the armor that we have is already designed to be balanced in the game. If we could make super armor, then we'd all be the same again.

Eternal Armor.

1. What level would the armor be? Since you are unlocking it all throughout the game the levels would be different.

2. What attributes would it have? Various sets of armor have energy recovery, elemental enhancements etc. how would you set that?

3. Would this take the place of the best armor available?

4. Would you be able to start using the armor pieces right away or have to wait until the end of the game to start when you have everything to start using it?

I like the idea but I just don't see how you would implement it to be a nice complete set with having you get it all first and then using it. Kinda defeats the purpose of getting special armor.

It would also put the armorers out of business. No more gold sink there. Unless you charge large amounts for adjustments, upgrades and color changes.

1. putting a lvl req on it wont be necessary because the armor will only have its base def and at the first 2, it will be say maybe boots and gloves. And the first one will be in Yak's or lions if there must be a lvl req then you put it on the first 2 at 15 and the rest at 20
2. The attributes are set by the number of unlocks, lets say you want +20 AL vs Physical that will use 4 unlock skills on your armor so if you decide you want to unlock 2 in AL vs physical it with give you +10 AL vs Physical and you use the other 2 in another one.
this could cost you something like 5 ecto and 5 shards to unlock each one.
3. Dont know if it will take the place of best armor depends on who is making it but yes will replace best armour.
4. The first 2 pieces will only have the base def on it talking about gloves and boots it might be high to start with for that lvl (its for lvl 15 up) or maybe have to unlock it for max def on that armor.
Or to do away with lvl req and to unlock them do it so it can only be done in the uw or fow that way they have to be ascended and you wont be able to unlock unless ur lvl 20. So if you decide to wear it, it will only have base def.
Is it pointless if you get the whole set at the end of the game I dont think so maybe its making the armor you want its a bonus to game and its not the end of the game there is more to come.
Dont forget you have to wear armor throughout the game and this one is a collectors armor tailor made for your char and will still need armouries so it wont change anything untill later on in the game
Maybe you could unlock this armour too for pvp the same way as you do for skills, upgrades and runes.
