Trying to find some cool fashionquest for a troll shaman.

This is EQ in all its haphazard development-by-accident glory we're talking about, so it's just as likely it was a case of the guy doing the textures not being in close contact with the guy assigning them to items in the database. I agree there was some missed opportunity there, which became a much larger missed opportunity when the very next expansion chucked all that work in the trashcan with the new character models. The Velious textures seemed something of an afterthought, never pushed hard, and not even enabled easily. The .ini file modification required to make them work in-era was technical enough that I suspect the majority of users never enabled them. I didn't myself, until near the tail end of the expansion.

I wouldn't be surprised if the artist (was) asked to do them, got told they weren't needed half way through the project, the artist completed them off the books anyway and after presenting the heads decided it would be good to use them after all.

It isn't perfect but I think it's okay for what options I had available. At least it's coordinated in terms of color and theme. It'll do until I can raid one day and get a full class set or something.

I know some would argue that I'm playing the wrong game if I care about character looks but it's just how I am. I am that guy who would forgo an item with awesome stats if it meant looking terrible.

Looking amazing Taddy!
