Bristlebane Day armor & clothes

xeyda · 03-30-2010, 10:41 AM

This is Live Event & tradeskill related:

I was very excited to see the BBD book contained clothing, and very disappointed to see that (while pretty colors) it wasn't transparent. What better joke to play than to have one's outfit vanish at embarassing moments (in the middle of a raid, strolling casually down the street of your home town a la Emperor and his new clothes, idling at the broker, etc)?

If you are not going to allow us to craft the "invisible" stuff, can you at least bring it back for more holidays? How about every holiday, or better yet, city festivals! I would rather see all the threadbare stuff set to the imperceptible graphic (or lack of, har), but at least let us buy it, please.

Considering how many, many, many varieties of cloth, chain, leather and plate armor exists from quests, crafting and drops, I just don't understsand why something that gets asked about so frequently is consistently passed over for rewards.

Also, can we get a Live/Holiday token exchange merchant? Let us turn in all those old or removed trinkets that can no longer be used at all or until the next year (e-day coins, quell tokens, etc) and get currency that can be spent on the current event, even at 2:1 or 3:1.

Maybe it's not possible for them to create transparent clothing or something. I know there's that helmet from Drussela Sathir, but it doesn't show your hair underneath it, and it's designed as a plate armor look. Maybe it's not as easy to do with more fluid clothing like cloth and leather.

Thanks

Was very underwhelmed by the items which could be crafted in this book. Seemed very blah for items to be associated with the grand prankster imo.

Usually in Norrath opacity is either 100% or 0% -- I can't think of much that's translucent.

There should be a merchant in each city's tradeskill area.

Let me clarify: by "transparent", I mean the "invisible" look already in game. The items of imperceptible beauty, the "no graphic" look of the threadbare (or was it tranquil threadbare?) cuffs and shawl, etc.

I did not mean making the PC vanish on the screen. SMILEY
