Custom velious plate helm - Wrong color

[Sallan]

I know this hasnt been released yet but wanted to raise it prior, since I just found out how it was in beta.

This is more specifically for Custom cowl of mortality. From what I understand, when this quest was tested in velious beta the custom helm appeared to be black instead of gold, which isn't right. I distinctly recall it being of a gold-ish tint (dragon helm for humans, horn helm for dwarfs, etc) instead of a black custom plate look. I suspect when the luclin models got introduced these helms changed in base color but originally they did not have one, which provided the gold look.

There wasn't much detail on allakhazam about the color but a lot of people recalled it being gold back then. Here are some forum posts:

My opinion is biased because I played human monk during velious era, but golden dragon helm just looked uber badass on human male monk to me for some reason. Loved my old Custom cowl of mortality.

Some quotes from monkly-business forums:

They had a helm with wings on it IIRC, golden in looks, came out around velious I want to say, think it dropped from a dragon and it had haste on it. It was so long ago that I can't remember the name.

Yes Vothsisx, it was called Cowl of Immortality and orignally gold. Was a quest in SkyShrine from Dragons up the winding staircase.
Agree Moscato , No longer Fantasy in the sense of original EQ, as well as the examples you showed ( darn ! no human armour graphics??) .. now it looks like we have star wars wardrobe developers doing EQ clothing and we are all inflicted with ugly armour making the characters look like ..hmmmm.. pixels on steroids??
I did not buy Heros'Forge so guess will plod along as is - I also do not use the items that change the appearance of items.
