Hehe just something funny but how did your character look like when he got his/her first 1.5k set? and how does he/she look like compared to your character but how he/she is now.... il start with my cute littl necromancer :3



My necromancer when he was 50 hours old in his uber 1337 1.5k fanatics set oooh i spend a lot of time in that set.



Now look at that! who is that sexy necro? oooh wait its the little guy but now 300 hours later! 15k necrotic and 15k canthan woop woop. They grow up so fast.

Yeah ok this not exactly 1.5k armour, but an old picture at least:



And these days:




Ohh I still remember the hours I used to dance in pre-searing. Usually it only took some 30 mins for me to dance alone until I got five other warriors dancing with me in line, all dressed like me in that picture.
Good times.

Edit: working on making smaller pics. WTF "zoom out" FTL

As a young monk, Daniel Highwind wore the least flash of garbs, the designs utilitarian upon his chest. His teachers strove to tone down his obnoxious, overly warm personality--it was unbecoming of a student to greet passing friends by picking them up and spinning around with them, or to yell and become easily excited. Through his training, Daniel learned the importance of what things truly were, rather than what they appeared to be.



As he finished his training, however, Daniel's personality proved inconquerable. Rather, the young monk focused his energies, channeling his training and merging discipline with raw emotion until they had become one. Even at his most flamboyant the control and smooth grace that comes with honing the spirit is evident in his actions; and when he grows most serious, the spark in his eyes never dies.

And we won't get started on how all the wommonz be up onz. Here's lookin' at you, kid.



Now, as a young adult after many, many journeys with and without his friends, Daniel teaches his charges to work hard... but perhaps not TOO hard.

Lol i thought this armor was the best just because it had a mouth over look, lol.
Even though i didnt know that there was a max version and there was such thing as droks.... pfft.


And i found that theres a more cooler expensive version??? 3 months of saving up and selling got me the 15k version lol.


And well, about 7 months later.... uh...yeah lol.


He wasnt my first character, my first was a month old mesmer, i deleted him after i realized that he just wasnt cool to look at. R.i.p. Conjurous Rex. Long live Rex the Unloving! (Until i stop playing.)

lol and i noticed that my previous capes and current cap had nearly the same look lol. my current one doesnt have an emblem though...

Let's see... Ah ha! Here's some ancient gems. That retro Aayla picture even has my first guild cape in it... Ah, the Hand of Darkness. I was a member for a couple days before I created the Motley Commune with a couple RL friends. Which is the unchanging cape that bedecks the remainder of the pictures. Did you know it matches the female Ritualists' red dyed Shing Jea armour perfectly? Great look.

So, anyways. A shot of Aayla in pre, next to that stupid un-tamable rabbit. Followed up with a shot of her outside Elona Reach in her new Canthan threads - I love the earrings! Such a nice touch... And the effect the portal gives off behind her head; it's like a subtle halo.

The next pair is a pre-searing shot of Alyssa fighting a Stone Elemental with her beloved Wolfy (and a sword and shield no less - what was I thinking), and one of her in her latest armour acquisition - blue Druid's with green gloves.

And then there's El Pardak, the indomitable and unchanging. He's looked like this since forever. And he probably always will. At heart he's an underwear model, but Ascalon's famed runways were irreperably damaged during the Searing.

Top left is at Yak's, getting my first set of armor besides pre stuff.
Bottom left is my first set of droks armor.
Top right is my first set of 15k, with a FoW helm.
Bottom right is my awesome looking warrior now.

It seems I have an affinity for glowing weapons.

Yeah in the first picture you can reeeally tell I was new to the game... Split my points between what... 5 stats? In any case, I loved drakescale so much, I bought some more. Only 10 times prettier. And I got a crab. To match. Y'know.

I have a few pre-level 20 pictures, but they aren't very good. So I didn't post any

Shortly after reaching level 20, around the time SF came out. Me/Mo Dom/Smiter. 15k silver Virtuoso armor (before you could hide masks).



After I started farming trolls/griffons (pre-aoe nerf), 15k teal virtuoso.



The start of the grand 55'ing era for me, using collector's gear for 55hp. Later this was upgraded to 15k Noble. Around this time, I also had the FoW top and had replaced the other parts with 15k Enchanters.



Finished set of Fissure equipment (except gloves, these came later), around Wintersday.
