Oddity with level 1 Hempen gear

for a while now ive seen people wearing gear called
Hempen Undershirt
Hempen Camise

but what i found odd about the gear is that it isnt displaying like it should
its actually displaying what i can only assume is called Refugee gear

instead of the tank top look, its ropes with a single stone at the center of the chest
i was able to make a new character equip the hempen gear and have the Refugee set
display.

what is up with this?

The way it looks changes depending on what race you are.

What race are you using it on? Because the hempen set looks different depending on the race (and obviously gender) of the character you are wearing it on. For example, a miqo'te female wearing it looks like a halter tank top, but a highlander female in one looks like shes wrapped up in bondage straps almost o.o

Each race has its own look - and hyur have two (one for midlanders, one for highlanders).

Hope this helps.

The look on the character is different depending on race

i knew i should have submitted a pic, give me a moment and i will show

Not sure what you mean but like the others have said it depends on the race, it looks like this on a miqote :D

(the pic is from instagram so quality is rather bad)

i understand what everyone is saying and i should have been clearer,
Im a Roegadyn, and i saw another Roegadyn with the Hyur style Hempen body
sadly i never got a screenshot of it so the proof is lost

Which one Hyur or Hyurgot ? You are sure you didn't saw an hyurgoth and thought it was a Roe ?

OK, above is what ive been seeing on males,
to the left is what the hempen gear has always looked like for me on ALL RACES
to the right is the new hempen gear ive been seeing since patch 2.2

they always were like this, Left is Hyur, Right is Highlanders.

As mentioned above, you were probably looking at a Hyur Highlander. It looks like that on them.
On every other race, it looks different. Lalafel for example (Below).

The hempen underwear are from 1.x
During 1.x they were not only gender locked, but also race locked. With ARR the race lock got removed, but they still keep their different looks for each race (and tribe like Highlander).

in an attempt to recreate the glitch i got an error in game

i glamored a Hempen Undershit made by a hyur highlander friend of mine
when i glamored it to my daystar robe i got this message:
Glamours are unavailable due
to area or class
restrictions

this is where i give up and walk away. you know you should stop when you break something.

Almost sounds like you're talking about hyur specific equipment. That's the only reason I can see for you not being able to use it as glamour (since judging by your pic you're a roegadyn). Unless you grabbed a female one by mistake - they are still separated by gender.

This isn't a glitch, each gender/race has a different 3D Model provided for each of them.


In the image you provided.

The character on the left is a "Midlander Hyur" the one on the right is a "Highlander Hyur". They're considered two difference 'races' essentially, although they share some similar traits they're two completely different things.

It changes for every race, including Roegadyn Males, try it on your own character and you'll see.


Just like in this image from 1.23, the Highlander featured, is wearing the hempen undershirt.
