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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

This should be in suggestions imho.
The point of these helms is to be 'town clothing'.
If you recall that there were people asking for these clothing just to be worn in town and didn't mind them not having armour stats. By signing this the work done by the fans asking for this feature would have been a wasted effort.

I really feel that when you redeem the orbs you should get the same stats on the dragon mask as exist on the current headgear you are wearing at the time.
I mean, otherwise, we will soon be over-running our storage space with cute, but otherwise useless items. So far there is the...

Jack O' Lantern
Santa Hat
Antler's
and now the Dragon Mask

that is four slots of storage if you have them all. Will we get a Bowler Hat with a Shamrock hanging out the brim for St. Patty's day? Bunny Ears for Easter? We are all going to become the Imelda Marcos' of hats!!

I think that it would be nice if they simply allowed for the item to have the same stats as what you are wearing when you redeem your prize, minus any runes you have added. Then they could make specialty armor and not just hats.

Tengu mask of sword mastery would make some sense ..

Considering my monk's tatoos give better protection than a beginner platemail, why not a Santa hardhat ?

People would eventually get other it. Novelty hat don't fit most armours too well.

OMG!!!! Now I totally want bunny ears for my monk! That would be so perfect! Honestly as much as I might want to be able to get away with wearing the masks where ever

/not signed

Reasons:
1. I am already tired of looking at these new masks.
2. I don't want to have to guess by looking at someone if they are using a holday mask, an infused holiday mask, or a helm with holiday art.
