Grey Sued Boots - wrong look
 
Hi,

This is a minor gripe, so I apologise, but these boots have the wrong graphic on Wood Elves, and they're ugly lol. They currently have base-chain look, like Banded Boots, whereas they should have a more of a leather (i.e., sued) look, which would be more thematically accurate. Something more akin to Barbed Ringmail boots or Tigerraptor boots. Any chance you can correct the look of these?

It doesn't matter what the name says, the item should have a chain appearance when you look at the live history

It no longer drops, you would need to find evidence that prior to Dec 2001 these had a cloth or leather appearance

The tint is off then, even if they're meant to be chain. According to that link, the tint is dark. On Wood Elves, the tint is light chain, exactly like Banded Boots. Whereas this suggests that the chain should be dark/black chain. Or maybe not, the colour on there is 0,0,0.

Still kind of feels like it should be base leather. Are there any other examples of items in game where the name does not match the item description? E.g., in this case, sued is in the name yet the item is chain. Feels like a mistake.

Many. Just naming a few at random...

All drums appear as flutes (perhaps to be passed off as drum sticks), except for Nostrolo Tambourine and Drums of the Beast which have the tambourine look.

Silver Charm of Tranquility appears as standard leather except for monk, in which case it's the specific Velious look, that also is not silver.

Ashenbone Shield is a unique red traced in silver, even though its name and item icon suggests it should resemble a ribcage.

Silver Chitin Wristband is considered Velious Plate 1 or "Scale" armor and it shows as yellow plate on most races and grayish only for trolls and gnomes.

Spined Seahorse Hide Breastplate offers no appearance whatsoever. Robe of Distraction also has no graphic, along with the other pieces of armor IIRC.

Journeyman's Walking Stick should appear as a regular mace, rather than a staff.

This means the in-game tint you see is correct, then. 0,0,0 means the item in question is un-tinted and uses the default coloration for that item.

Nipple tassels only, no other parts of the robe.
