Curse

Valkyries · Aug 10, 2006, 01:01 PM // 13:01

Hey everyone,

Well I have literally gone through about 100 pages of Mesmer armors, different pics, options, etc and Im trying to figure out what I like the best. I know such a hard choice...

I have a nice bit of cash but really not enough for FoW armor... at least not yet. Currently Im just using 1.5k Shing armor from Kaineng until I decide what 15k to buy but its such a hard choice.

I guess I should mention my char is female

Here are a few things I really like. Please if anyone has any pics to share about their mesmer feel free to post them. I assume this is the right place for me to post this thread, here's hoping.

What I really like are the 15K Kurzicks boots. Think they look awesome and perhaps the best out of all the boots I've seen

So lets start with that.

The gloves are probably the easiest to choose with because I really find that they all look pretty nice really. Shing Jea 1.5k, Luxon 1.5K, Kurzick and enchanters are all appealing. So we can skip this and work on the rest of the outfit.

So the biggest parts that I can't decide on is the top/shirt outfit.

I really like the FoW (Obviously), Kurzick, Luxon, Rogue, Enchanters and 1.5K Kurzicks.

Stats really don't matter at all... if I get Kurzick or FoW Ill just get enchanters (which is my personal favorite) and if not Ill make due. Im more concerned over the looks.

Does anyone have any opinions to share?? I apologize if there is a post for this already.

Cheers
Valk

FoW and 1.5 Kurzick are quite nice, I don't particularly like 15k Kurzick or the Luxon armors.

Personally, I LOVE the 1.5k Kurzick long coat! Really nice! I'd go with that! Mine is all Kurzick, I'll post a picture on here if I remember later on if you want to see it.

SnipiousMax · Aug 10, 2006, 01:16 PM // 13:16

1.5k Kurzick. I'll post a pic later, but its my favorite.

You'll get rich eventually, just get all of the chest pieces that you like, and switch around. That way you dont need to spend money on the whle outfit^^.

But on an irrelevant note... Virtuoso, 15k, male, Citadel... ohhh yeah, best armour^^

I don't really care for the fow female armor. It doesn't look bad, just a bit plain. I am working my way through the game to get 15K canthan. It is by far my favorite of the female mes outfits.

I am undecided on the masks however. The 15k canthan is just a bit too 'fat faced' for my liking. I think I am going to go with luxon masks, although I think I like the 1.5k better than 15k. I might just stick with my tyrian masks as those are pretty nice, and have different skins.

I need to see some of the masks up close so I will probably try to head out to some of the outposts and advertise to see the armor in action.

I am also really a big fan of 1.5k Kurzicks so I am thinking thats what I will go with. I should be able to get it by this weekend. Don't have the town yet but got the cash so half way there

So anyone have any suggestions for dye? Should I go completely with that, or any good mix and match. I really am a huge fan of FoW but the price is quite high. Im like 70 ectos away, so it would take me a long time to get that.... all the same I can always start saving little by little

Anyone else?

P.S I'd love to see pics

The good old enchanter's 15K remains my favourite set...

Indeedy, if you buy 1.5k gloves or hose (thats out if you go with rouges, I suppose..) you might end up with enough to buy another chest peice of the more expensive variety so you can switch around with outfits as you please.

I <3 15k kurz. Its sorta ridiculous as far as armor goes, being able to dress my little death machine up like a barmaiding ballerina doll of doom appeals waaaay too much to me. 1.5k kurz everyone seems to like.. I like it more that Ive seen it more, but honestly, I think id like it *more* if it was less.. whats the word, less fashionable and more gaudy and flamboyant... It already is, sorta, but it almost seems too normal for mesmers IMO. Dont ask me why, please. D:

Luxon outfits for fem mesmers are.. .. lol :P 1.5k top is pretty cute though. Yah, though, fow ftw. Meanwhile, my first mesmer, may she RIP, had like.. three chest peices and I think only one pair of hose... Fem mesmers > all because of their fantastic ability to get a new outfit with one peice of armor...boots are the only thing really noticeable, but Id imagine 15k kurz boots would go fairly nicely with other things. Dunno. Happy clothes shopping.

As promised, here's Travi Esa (which btw means Trickster or Flirt in spanish <ie.. Traviesa>)

I honestly don't remember the dye combo.... It might be Red + Silver, or Red + Purple or Yellow + Purple.

lol Valkyries, would help this little fashion victum if you posted a pic of your mesmer. Armour has to look good on your character as well as on the rack

Terra Xin · Aug 11, 2006, 04:36 AM // 04:36

wow, the kurzick coat does look pretty cool, fur lining looks awesome^^

That is a very good point, I don't know why I didn't think about that

So Ill attach here two pics of my new Mesmer... she's only lvl 6 right now but over the weekend Ill power lvl her through Cantha. So she'll be 20 in no time flat.

I bought the regular Shing Jea 1.5k armor for now because starter armor just simply wont do there. I need to have some AL. LOL!

So this is what Im working with which I do like but I really want to have an upgrade and make her look REALLY good!

As for cost of items, I have probably enough to buy 2 sets of 15k, or any mix and match sets. The biggest problem is Im not sure what goes with what the best and I've seen SO many pics and they all look so good. Wow I love the attire for this class. Such nice armor's, by far the best IMO.

I REALLY do like the Kurzicks 1.5k. VERY nice with the long coat and the little dress on the inside. That is definitely an option. Im not a huge fan of the 15k Kurzicks/Luxon armors but maybe its because I haven't seen them enough, Im not sure.... FoW of course is awesome but a little out of my price range, at least for now. Maybe eventually Ill get enough of those but it'll require a lot of farming in UW. I started doing that yesterday but sadly just one ecto

Anyways, heres the pics!

wilson · Aug 11, 2006, 08:19 AM // 08:19

i'm still all for 15k rogues for female mesmers, if you also have prophecies campaign. i have that very same set dyed all red.

Lady Lozza · Aug 12, 2006, 08:04 AM // 08:04

1.5k Kurzick and 15k Canthan, IMHO, for your mes. With the blonde hair and not so pale skin, I recommend pastel colours or bright, bold colours.

I am actually kind of thinking the same thing!

I may just purchase both. Ill have to run through the Cantha side of the game with my Mesmer but that really shouldn't take overally long

15k Cantha is pretty nice, you think it would suit my mesmer ok? I must say I REALLY like it dyed black, but I've seen some other nice combinations as well. Aqua blue is very cool, and looks pretty nice Gold as well.

Thanks for the advise, I think thats what Im gonna do!!

Cheers!

Actually, I'm guessing many will disagree with me, I like 15k Noble's. I also like it not black.

I love it =/

Effigy · Aug 15, 2006, 03:51 PM // 15:51

Noble's looks great, just too bad the stats are worthless.

Personally, I want get FoW chest with the rest 15k Kurzick for my mesmer, if I can ever afford that chestpiece. Dyed either black or white.

SnipiousMax · Aug 15, 2006, 08:54 PM // 20:54

So while I've got my Mesmer's pic in the thread... What does everyone think about the color of her armor?
