Petiton for Event Masks!

Well I would have done this as a poll too but I didn't see that option, anyway here is the request/petition.

Anet. Please create an npc that will let us merge any existing helm we own with an event mask so that we can wear our event masks with our armor and actually get some protection from them along with the stats of said merged helm. The helm you are merging will be consumed of course.

Example: Warrior takes an AL:80 tactics helm +1 with a sup sword rune +3 and merges this with his tengu mask, getting an AL:80 tactics helm +1 with a sup sword rune +3 tengu mask.

• Armor and Event Masks are already customized so you can't give/trade them away
• Event Masks are cool and would be great to wear outside of towns. Gives the items more useage.
• May free up a slot or 2 in someone's inventory.
• Could be another small money sink to merge helms.

Any event mask with stats on it from a previous merge would, of course, be overwritten by any merge in the future, with a warning box.

You can already put runes on event helms, and dye them too.

They're not supposed to be used for general purpose playing, that's the whole point... besides would probably wear thin having parties of pumpkin heads and santas for quests. The system is fine as it is - they're novelty items, collectable and for fun.

And it takes one slot of your already limited storage space.

agreed, these items are not meant to be replacements for the current helmets avaliable at crafters.

They are for fun, to give your character a unique look and not to be used as another piece of armour, making your suggested changes would divert from the reason why these masks were created in the first place.

Holiday items not meant for violence! No santa hat of axe mastery .

I'm glad more people see the reasoning in this topic.

/nosigned AGAIN

They are civilian hats. Not meant for military purposes and therefore no protection. However, you can infuse them and put a rune. Dragon masks can be dyed too.

There is some situations where armor doesn't matter or 0 armor is actually the best choice. Some use after all.

if you desperately want to use it in action, go 55 monking with it.

Exactly they are to be worn in towns. After awhile I'd get really sick of seeing everyone wear a pumpkin head ect. If they wanted to they could make a special type of armor in which you have to complete a quest but these event masks are just for fun and i'm glade they are.

Yeah,who cares you can put them in the new storage spa-owaittheymadethatonlyformaterialslololololololol

I have a santa hat of superior smiting prayers that I use on my UW runs.

But in all seriousness: /notsigned

just make next events bring up a crafter window, with all the different types of helm for your profession in event-mask form. full armor, full +attributes, hex helm, everything! then everyone would actually use them other than when theyre afk or acting like fools.

They're novelty items; that's exactly what they're for!

This is exactly what we don't need -- the effort would be much better spent on increasing general storage, fixing/improving the trade system, etc. These are novelty items meant for fun/collecting. You don't have to get them for every character (or at all, for that matter), and I see no reason why they should be buffed so people can run around with them when doing serious questing.


That's sorta the whole point of them.

/not signed.. pointless .. if u dont like it, dump it

Heh-if such was ever integrated, we would never see any of hte old artwork but only event helms...

As mentioned already-these are simply fun items, they are not meant or made to be used in combat *even though u can if u want *

/signed


I actually like the idea. Or give special event masks a special ability, like when you wear em, your weapons have fire dmg or something.

yeah sure a beer and a waffle with that ?

I base my signing on this very quote right here^^
