Barbarian cultural just looks like plain chainmail. Yeah, plain shit chain. Devs couldn't even throw the tradeskillers a bone for appearance. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

That doesn't seem correct.

I took the wiki data from Magelo, and admittedly Magelo is based on live EQ, but ... to my knowledge Verant/Sony never went back and changed the color of old armors, so they should still have the same coloring.

Normal chainmail (eg. https://wiki.project1999.com/Large_Chainmail_Coat) has the fashion style of "Chain", with no tint. Both the Northman Ringmail (eg. https://wiki.project1999.com/Northman_Ring_Mail) and the Imbued version (eg. https://wiki.project1999.com/Imbued_Northman_Ring_Mail) have that same fashion style, with a light purple tint (the auto-color-naming tool I used dubbed it "Melrose").

So, the two should look very similar, but the cultural armor should have a slightly purpler look. I haven't actually made any Barbarian cultural in ages though, so I can't confirm (I do have a barb smith on blue who could, but he's stuck down in the bottom of Charasis ATM [You must be logged in to view images.

Haha no I love the wiki and I think loramin has done an amazing amount of work to make it good, which it mostly is. Only criticizing the appearance links which are almost never right

What that boils down to is that we just don't have enough pictures of people showing off their armor. Whenever you go to look at an item (like https://wiki.project1999.com/Imbued_Northman_Ring_Mail) that no one has published a screenshot of, all we can do is show other armor that looks similar (ie. has the same fashion style), but with a different coloring/tint.
