Someone in an above post implied that this was no longer the case. Can anyone provide a link supporting this change? I know people who only own one game are at a disadvantage skillwise but I seriously doubt they'd do the same with armour.

Every skin of the same item functions via the same piece of game code unless they chose for it not to. So if it's true then it's no oversight. What are they gonna do, advertise on the factions box, "new skills, professions and priority on nerfing".

^ That would be Zodiac shield and sword... While I totally prefere steel and iron to energy-weapons and generally weapons with lights on them, I think Zodiac swords rock. Don't beat Gothic swords or Wicked blades though..

That's my warrior. I know I used 4 different armors and 2 different dye mixes, but it's worth it. I like how the whole theme is light-weight leather armor with some metal plating, and with the new armor mechanics I can get all the stats I want.

Dunno about you guys, but I think it looks great; It's definately unique

Haha, helping people puts a smile on my face. Weeeee!

You can get those colours anyway, I got this nice dark blue as posted above. I thought I saw somebody with my combo the other day, but he had 1,5k Luxon instead of 15k. Still the only one then I guess.

*Ow and Rancour, I like your armor mix! Somehow it makes the warrior look really small, add a beard and it could be a dwarf! w00t! Dwarves in Factions! Gimme!

Ondo Calaelen - see avatar - was my very first character in the game. A W/Mo Ondo had completed the entire game. But he got greedy and went for a second time at the Prince. A battle that none could win.....sadly Ondo died before he got the chance to see his daughter grow up. Celebian - also choose W/Mo as her professions. Why? To avenge the father she never knew, except from the stories told to her by the locals. Now a full grow women, she is at battle once again with the Prince in Hell. Knowing that her father must of suffered dearly in that battle she has traveled across the seas to seek aid from her Cathan friends. With the training she has gotten she is almost ready to defeat the dead Prince and put her father's soul to rest.

Ok, tired of reading the same ol' same ol' so I uped it a little.
Here she is in her one of three armor sets which I think is best to date. We will see when she actually aquires the end game 15K. Kurzick 1.5K, also in her bags are a full set of 1.5K Cathan Glads, and 1.5K Luxon Glads.

Enjoy! (I do)


Also if there's errors in the story - sorry I have been up for 16 hours....goodnight all!

I like my warrior's armor: Basic warrior (glads chest and legs, knockdown gloves, ascalon boots), but I don't look stupid like the warriors that actually wear glads/ 15k glads.

The love the 15k Kurzick but the helm is ugly IMO. I much prefer this combo. It's 15k Kurzick in black, left the helm silver to match the silver detail on the armour.

Could someone please post a picture of a male warrior in 15k Gladiator's chest and gloves mixed with (1.5k or 15k) Kurzick leggings and boots? A front and rear view would be nice. Thanks

I have full (ascalon helm) 15k Glads dyed black...personally, I think it would look great dyed all white, including cap. I spent like 20k trying to find the perfect shade of white...everything came out too tinted to be white for my taste. So I just went with the black.

I don't have anywhere to put my pictures, but Warriors 15k Canthan dyed Silver with either a 15 k Luxon or Kurzick helmet dyed silver on is just too cool . Ritualists obsidian (FoW) is also really cool.

My opinion is completely opposite of yours in this case.
