I dont know if this is the right spot to post this, but here it is.

I was bored and decided to buy and compare the different monk armor looks. I don't have the fissure armor yet but I got everything else. I figured for the sake of comparison they should all be the same color, and black being the best looking color (in my opinion) I went with that.

Not trying to show off, I'm sure most people have way cooler stuff than some random armors.. Just figured any new monks may enjoy being able to see every set in close comparison before deciding which to buy.. Wasnt originally going to even post it here but figured maybe it will help someone

Yea that is the 15k wanderers, Yea it is dyed black too, Yea it really is that ugly

EDIT: Just realized I forgot to get a full set of the 15k tattoo armor, my bad.. the arms and feet in those pic's are the 15k stuff though

awesome topic. i am starting a monk and am looking at the difference in armors, since they are mostly the same in stats, i decided to go the route of best 'looks'.

Hehe - nice comparision!

I went with the Wanderer's set for my monk, and yes, I was pretty surprised that the black dye didn't make the armor really black, too.

The other ones...I don't think anyone not playing a monk could tell apart the 15k stuff from the non 15k stuff... I guess A-Net could work a bit on that.

Btw, the Fissure monk stuff DOES look cool.

What is the difference in a 1.5k tat set and a 15k tat set? I really don't see what they could do graphically to make you look any less like a zebra in bad lighting......

C'mon - aren't you showing off... even just a little?
But there's nothing wrong with that.

I'll just add the male models for 15k armor (only to be helpful, of course

)

Left to Right: Wanderer's 15k (natural color), Judge's 15k (dyed black), Saintly 15k (dyed silver) and Acetic's (dyed black) - note: I keep sup runes on my arms and feet so I only change the vestment and pants. And I didn't get the full Acetic set because I don't like the "nude monk" look.

lol xue

I like the wanderers set on guys (on me it looks horrible), but I cant say much for the Saintly set on guys.. looks worse than some of the non-15k armors I think... I completely agree about the "nude monk" look which is why i do the same thing you said ^^

I agree about your take on the full male monk saintly armor. Look's like children's PJ's.
