Gear for DoM

Can we get some more variety in the types of high level gear for DoM? There are barely any footwear or belts that support them. We are limited to gear like the crakows that give mainly + stats to crafting, the rest for DoH only. Belts wise, we have like 2 or 3. I know there is the gear from the dungeons that we can use, but not everyone wants that. And currently, every mage looks the same. We need some more designs! Come on square, tell us or show us what you got planned. I don't want to just be limited to Bliauds and Robes >.>

Thanks you for this thread, i wish that we could all have different looks too. Even when 1.21 goes live every job will have the same look as another playing the job.

AMEN......

Agreed... even better... can we get more DoM classes? ;)

Every class will always look roughly the same *if* they all aim for the same best gears. SE could design 30 different mage equippable outfits and you'd still see the majority of at least the capped players, running around in the same exact outfit. The only real differences might be their healer/nuker/dot set design. The same is true for all the other classes as well. People always want to wear *the best* gears...this usually =everyone looks the same.

I'd like some better looking mage gear too. Remember that fugly Revolutionary's Bliaud? Freakin' mustard yellow... C'mon SE we know you can do better...

Welcome to MMO's, where anyone with the best gear for their class looks the same as someone with, that's right, the best gear for their class.

I don't think you understand. Its not so much tha design of the gear. Its the color. Its not just that the best itm is "Helm A" its that it is "Helm A "orange"" so to be optimal, everyone has to wear th ecaxt same design and color.

Actually, your wrong. Its fairly common at this point in MMOs life time as a genre, to have the ability to kep an items stats once you earn it, and apply the graphics of another item.

What, you don't want to wear a brown bliaud, or a red or green felt robe? Well, if you are that picky (you silly person), how about a cowl, I know everyone just loves those. That bald look they give is so stylish, and they come in THREE colors, one of which may be actually useful for your role! [/sarcasm]

I miss the variety of gear there was in the 30-40ish range, and I had hoped one day SE would give us that variety at the high levels too. Mages could choose from tabards, actons, leggings, shirts, moccasins, kecks, pattens, and a variety of what is now non-mage gear, all in 4 color choices.

I guess there is a better variety of gear for high ranked mages now, but it is hard not to improve when there was little more than harlequin's acton, vintage robe, and that beautifully colored bliaud for the R50's to choose from. At least now we can wear a little bit of color . . . :p

No I DO understand...what I'm saying is this...if Helm A 'orange' is the best helm for the class then most players will walk around in that helm as soon as they can equip it. It doesn't matter how many other choices there are...that is what the majority will wear. Now, if you think 'hey orange is a sucky color'. I get it BUT level 50 is NOT endgame so well, the gears should be a little 'eh' because quite frankly, it's mid level gear in the scheme of things and the 'dude, that is some sexy gears you got there' stuff should be more high level.

So pretty much, why ask SE to waste time creating 5-10 different looks for a rank 50 Mage if/when about 3 of them would be plausable gearsets? (Healer/Nuker/DOTer) There are better ways to spend both their and our resources and time.

Its not going to matter, when Jobs and AF come out we will all look identical, make the most of the 2 choices you have ;)

How abt extra slot for 'display only'? But this gonna be weird everyone wearing X'mas set to kill Ifrit :)

You know, there is always got to be someone in a thread that just has to troll everything. Who really gives a **** if 50 isn't goin to be the cap in the next year. And they have different teams creating different things in this game, I doubt the whole team would spend their time creating outfits. Why can't you just agree with the thread? We have been so limited to what we can wear now. I hate that I can't wear a felt shirt or kecks. Better yet, why can't I wear trousers? It's so limited now, esepcially for mages.

Just give me multi-colored bliauds for all level ranges and some mage-turbans (I love those turbans like the ones Yda wears, but we need some good ones with mage stats!) to match and I'll be a happy camper.

It's not like I want to wear anything else.

Slightly off-topic:
DoW too.
Archer's costumes are so ugly compared to the one in the game trailer. (this was from my friend who was going to play as an archer FYI)

And most of the costumes in this game (especially newer ones) are not well executed at all regarding collision (which also happens to be bad in general, e.g. the arms being so far apart from the body when standing is ridiculous, the feet don't even touch the ground most of the time, etc.)


I hope they'll do something about it for v2.0.

It's not really a DoM-specific issue. The amount of gear available for almost every class is ridiculously small.

DoW have a whole nother market area in the wards specifically for them. Armorfitters. That plus what they can equip in the upper tailors wards is more than small to me. I mean Gladiators can equip (even though it's not the best) doublets and shirts. DoM have literally nothing to equip. Crafting classes have more than us.

Making a point isn't trolling... I wasn't rude to the original poster OR anyone else. I just stated my opinion, and then re-clarified when someone thought I didn't understand them. Also, not trolling.

I just want my Moccasins and kecks back ;_;

Pattens are the only shoes we can get that you can put high tier materia on. At the very least give us higher level crakows too, I'd love to have more Evasion.
