Didn't even notice till you mentioned it. Nothing new in 6 months. Shame. :/

I took some comparison pictures of the Republican and Classical Medicus set (specifically the chiton, wrist torque and caligae). In addition to the usual colour alterations, the metal texture on the new version is a lot more detailed.

The chiton is dyed Snow White and the caligae Metallic Brass in both examples.

I don't mind reusing sets. I thought it was pretty cool they gave another way to get one of the old PvP sets through crafting for instance. I do wish they'd unlock them across roles for glamor purposes, though. Not relic gear, obviously, but as I've mentioned before, if I can tank in bikini briefs, why can't I cast spells in full plate?

I wouldn't mind if some like the 87 dungeon were dyable to begin with.


And I expect by the end of the expansion we get at least 1 or 2 new crafted sets like Neo Ishgardian and Exarchic.

While the re-used gear sets have been disappointing I've gotta say, the sheer number of people getting mad about the dragon theme for the tomestone gear is really confusing. It's designed after the radz at han guard guys. The place that's led by a dragon and populated largely in part by au ra. It's supposed to look like dragon scales.

I dont think it's fair to call out the radiant host gear as reuse when that's just a new armor design in endwalker. There has been quite a bit of gear reuse in the leveling sets from 81 to 90 however.

I had people asking about the armor sets by the NPCs before this patch dropped in, it is a nice theme that I personally love it but I know it is not for everyone

Honestly? It makes perfectly logical sense for this to be the case. Raiding is a niche activity. The overwhelming majority of the game's population will never touch a single raid in their entire life with the game. That they would focus more on things that everyone will see and do rather than the stuff that only a tiny fraction of the player base will see seems obvious to me.

The new players are less likely to notice in the first place, and less likely to care if they do notice. We're familiar with these sets, but it's all new to them.

I feel like I'll have died of old age before we get dyeable Woad sets :(
