Gear Themes - Submit Ideas

Leukael

I thought it would be a nice idea to submit theme ideas for gear that could apply to a variety of different base class types and armor types. They could end up gear theme ideas for in game crafted items in game - who knows! Submit yours here as well!

* Dungeon Diver series - one that shows wear and tear from adventuring (burns, tears, holes, mud/dirt all that tell a story of a close call or traps sprung ... bandoliers and backpacks/satchels.)

* Adventurer Aristocrat series - a take on adventurers that settle down into a form of affluence, governance, and wealth. The dagger hilt poking out the top of some fancy boots. A holy symbol damaged by adventure but polished. That sort of vibe. Subtle hints wrapped in a luxe package.

* War Torn series - battered, bloodied, and brutal (think pvp centric)

* Salty Sail series - class inspired gear themed/adjusted for naval combat/setting

I would like to see some Artisan gear sets.
And some Villainous gear sets - instead of all the gear being Heroic.

I like this. Here are a few that came to mind:

- a guild set that shows the guild emblem on several different pieces
- an explorer set with climbing gear hanging off the belt and a map rolled up some where
- a wilderness set meant to help blend with natural environments

I'd be all for a demonic themed set. Maybe the mount could be a sub-species of the dreadcrawler demon boss they showcased last month.

I would like costume "skins" that turn on in towns and off when in out of town

I would also like to see some element / accessory or the like that was worn when a clan member and the clan had overall control of the cosmetic color/branding/crest etc.

I love this idea. You're on the same page as me.

I really like the idea of artisan sets too!

What's a Villainous gear set like?

Genuinely asking.

It's like a normal set, but with angry eyes.

Some working clothes for when we're on the Freehold. Farmer gear, Smithing gear, Barmaid gear, Fishing gear, etc.

Good question. In Star Wars, that would be Darth Vader and Storm Trooper armor, I suppose.
In Ashes, it would probably be similar to what The Others and The Ancients wear.

Seems like they could also find inspiration from antonyms of the player character cultural ideals: Destruction/Chaos/Corruption... etc.

D&D has villains using motifs, like Spiders... so perhaps Ashes villains would use motifs from mobs, like Flanglers.

What nightmarish figures lurk within the Void? How might the villains of Sanctus weave their veneration of such vile beings into their daily wear?

@Vaknar
I'm content to leave it up to whatever the Intrepid Studios artists imagine villainous to be.

I would love more mercenary series of gear.

Stuff like the Landsknecht:


Genoese crossbowmen:


Jomsvikings:


Black Riders:


And so on
