Love the styling of the outfit, already quested for my imperceptable beauty stuff. Anyone know of a questable vest with the same style (eg showing tummy on females)? Not fussed on color, though the darker the better...

[Buneary]

<p>could we please have those Citizen's Clothing sets in more colours? (baby pink, purple, orange)also, can we have tummies showing on males too? (maybe an optional top)</p><p><cite>Seltha-Larren wrote:</cite></p><blockquote>Love the styling of the outfit, already quested for my imperceptable beauty stuff.

[Seltha-Larren]

Yeah, I already have the ceremonial smithing vest... it's nice enough - shorter - and a little rough as mentioned. Kinda bugs me if we have to start spending real dollars for stuff that should be questable. I don't mind putting in the time - makes the reward that much sweeter... buying my way just doesn't sit right with me (even if I do have 500 cash to blow because it came free with the expansion).

[Jaremai]

<p>I was (pleasantly?) surprised to see these were only 300 SC.  I fully expected to see them for 1000.</p><p>Maybe someone made a typo when inputting the price.</p>

[quiarrah]

<p>Well I must say I am Impressed . . .fianlly a crop top that anyone can wear. . . (well except the guys). . . .but nice all the same. . . I will DEFINATELY get this for all 3 of my main characters!  Now the only other thing is. . .do I get Black. . or Blue. . .?? Decisions, decisions. . . .</p><p>(maybe the next clothing crate can have clothes from Maj Dul. . .. maybe the Geni outfit that the Festival Fortune Teller wears??)</p>

[KerowynnKaotic]

<p>My only complaint on these outfits is why did the person who did this chose those boots with those pants?!</p><p>Never, NEVER! mix the what I like to call the 'sweat pants' with the 'shoes', which is what you have with these outfits. </p><p>Always use the "pirate boots" with the 'Sweat pants'!  The "pirate boots" are kinda self explanatory but they are the ones with the cuff on the calf that hides that stupid gap that you have with the 'sweat pants'!</p><p>If you wanted to use the 'shoes' graphic, you needed to use the 'yoga pants'!   'yoga pants' being the pants whose bottom cuffs flow all the way down to the ankle.  Can also be called 'bell bottom pants', I suppose but 'yoga' sounds better.</p><p>But, I do like the fact thay they came up with color sets.  Nice and a decent price!  Hope they keep it up. </p><p>Halloween is coming up btw.  So, maybe a set of Shades of Orange?  And, Red & Green for Frostfell?  But, with 'pirate boots', please!</p>

[msgnomer]

<p>Nice idea with the clothing.  Hopefully this will also have a craftable or questable alternative so players have a choice of how to acquire it.    Oh...and an extra bank slot to hold the crate since that's a lot of individual items!  Even better, have the crate placeble as a wardrobe in your character's room. <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" /></p><p>Another personal preference would be to have each item have a single look for male and female and let the player decide which one to use for each of their characters.  Personally I'd have liked a full length top option for some of my female characters. </p>

[Rijacki]

<p>It's sad that all new style cloth-like tops and pants are only going to come from Station Cash. The pants with the belt and that stype of top ONLY exist in those two crates.</p><p>Will we see any new style cloth wearable gear in-game without paying real money, even a recolour of these? Sadly, Unlikely.</p> <p>And.... will they fix the pants which are in game already and obtainable by in-game means but that have a -gap- between torso and pants for several female races? Sometime in the future, maybe, no matter that they've been out over a year now with the same problem reported many times.</p><p>I'll admit that I bought a crate and likely will get the other one (if I can make room in inventory) because I have been wanting new clothing looks for my coercer for a long long long time.</p>

[TorrynWoodsrunner]

<p>I must say, this is an example of how to do something RIGHT with the SC Marketplace. The two clothing sets are well-designed, provide a huge variety of looks in each package, and are VERY reasonably priced to boot! The only thing I -don't- like is that they are attunable. I would have liked to be able to share the package back and forth with my various toons. Perhaps that's something that could be changed, thus making the packages a total win?</p><p>Proud to say that I purchased both for my main, and even if the attuning is removed, would consider buying them for my other toons, simply for convenience, and to support this type of Marketplace experience.</p><p>Now, cut the cost of the armor sets to 150-200SC, and you'd have me buying most of those as well!</p>

I fully expected each crate to be <em>at least</em> $10 and was happily surprised to see their actual price! I'll be buying a crate as soon as I decide who'd look best in these new outfits... I would love to see them (and everything else on the marketplace) become heirloom, though.</p>

I bought a set for my dark elf - she's still sulking that I wouldn't buy the dark elf armor for her. But this way, she gets new clothes, and so does her sister! I passed the black clothes down to my gnome dirge. I wanted to show my support for reasonably priced SC items. I would be very curious to see the sales stats of the dark elf armor compared to the casual clothing.

[Narino]

<p>How about allowing us to choose the colours for each piece, would it be to hard to do? Like, when opening the crate  I could pick 3 black pants, 2 grey shirts and one blue or something like that. Similar to what we can do already with, for instance the sands monkey reward, now that would be awsome</p>

I don't want to!  (I only meant wide legged pants like you will see in the fashion cataglogs like NEWPORT NEWS, SPIEGEL and such. . maybe we could have mini skirts for the girls. . . .)</p>
