New Marketplace Items: Arasai Heritage Armor, Ragebringer Roundshield, and Hammer of the Soulscorned

[Ashlanne]

<p>In addition to the items made by Norrath's amazing and friendly crafters (available through trades and the in-game broker), the EQII in-game Marketplace is an integrated store where you can purchase an assortment of services, items, and features with Station Cash, to enhance your gameplay experience. Appearance armor, mounts, prestige homes, and server transfer tokens are just some of the items available.</p> <p>New items are added to the Marketplace weekly. Here's a look at the latest additions:</p> <p align="center"><strong>Arasai Heritage Armor</strong></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://www.everquest2.com/images/en/features/2012/04/marketplace/arasai.jpg"><img src="http://www.everquest2.com/images/en/features/2012/04/marketplace/arasai_th.jpg" /></a></p> <p>Show off your proud Arasai traditions with this unique outfit! In glimmering gold and dark leather, the Arasai Heritage Armor is everything you might want for a stroll on the less-than-good side of town. You don’t need to have been corrupted by Queen Christanos to wear this get up, but when you wear it you’ll certainly look the part!</p> <p align="center"><strong>Ragebringer Roundshield</strong></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://www.everquest2.com/images/en/features/2012/04/marketplace/shield.jpg"><img src="http://www.everquest2.com/images/en/features/2012/04/marketplace/shield_th.jpg" /></a></p> <p>Spring into action with the Ragebringer Roundshield! Appearing somewhat innocuous when you are out of combat, the Ragebringer Roundshield dramatically shifts the moment you draw your weapon. With sharp points and a saw-like blade, an enemy would have to be insane to tackle the bearer of this mechanical masterpiece!</p> <p align="center"><strong> Hammer of the Soulscorned</strong></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://www.everquest2.com/images/en/features/2012/04/marketplace/hammer.jpg"><img src="http://www.everquest2.com/images/en/features/2012/04/marketplace/hammer_th.jpg" /></a></p> <p>Forged with mystical green flames, our Soulscorned set comes ever closer to completion with its latest addition: the Hammer of the Soulscorned! With a skull face glowing an eerie green, the Hammer of the Soulscorned is perfect for smiting those that threaten… or possibly even just those that have great loot!</p>

<p>The armour is great, but you guys are *really* allergic to the colour black, aren't you?  That outfit with the face thingie would be <em>smashing </em>in black.</p><p>*sigh*</p>

<p>I tried posting this in the thread that announced the armor set, but i got an error message saying that i exceeded characters or something, so I'm posting it here. I like the shape and "structure" of the outfit, but im shocked at the blandness of it. When i think of arasai, i think "dark fae" and colors like violet, and bio luminescent green, and blues and blacks come to mind. The Arasai are one of my favorite races-I've been waiting to see how their heritage armor would turn out -or even if they were doing heritage armor for them, for a while now, and I'm a bit disappointed-I just think a lot more could have been done with them<img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

Recolors of some of the different heritage outfits would be great! I'd love to see the arasai set with more dark, rich colors, like purple and/or green.. with dark gunmetal or obsidian where the gold is. Maybe a recolor of the 'Tonga outfit too. The green/yellow/brown is just.. ew.. to me.</p>
