I mean, thats interesting, but DL is from kunark. Where did u "farm" them before kunark? And where is CS again? So yea... Compare that to all the other race cultural armor component farming.

Farming yetis would be easier than farming them in permafrost though, and ill look into that. But that doesnt address the other issues I mentioned.

You know that cultural armor didn't exist before Kunark, right?

Lots of sets suck ass, not just barbarian. Iksar, halfling, wood elf. Hell, trolls don’t even get any. Most of human cultural sucks too. ALL the cultural weapons suck no matter what race. Original devs were smoking crack when they implemented these, with clear favoritism towards certain races.

No I did not. I did not play before kunark. But it still sucks that one has to farm their race's cultural armor components on the other side of the world (to get them easier)

EC has geared my barbarian, and if I am able to collect my own essence on that toon, there would be no point, now.. And I would still need ALOT of it, compared to other races.

Cultural armor was implemented for bored max level tradeskill weirdos to have an endless timesink grind to work on, hope that clears things up.

Thanks for adding your useless contribution to the otherwise civil discussion [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Those p99 shots don't look tinted at all, do they? Is it possible to get a side by side with a barb NPC wearing chain for comparison?

This may be a discovery worthy of a bug thread.

Dont be confused with the voices in your head.

Perhaps I've taken it too personally, but I didn't find your discussion so civil.

The interaction between armor tinting and light sources got a bit weird at some point (the Titanium client has the "weird" interaction).

Light sources will sort of "negate" armor tints. For example, in normal lighting crafted armor will have the normal light blue tint, but if you get close to the armor with a light source you'll notice that the armor looks more like un-tinted platemail where the light is shining.

Difficult to describe but I'm sure some people have noticed this.

If the Northman chain is a light purple tint it's possible that there's enough lighting in that screenshot to "destroy" the tint. It's easier to see armor tints in dimly lit areas.

To be fair, that screenshot was taken on my phone from the character selection screen. Character select enhances the full model detail but also seems to increase brightness when compared to in game. Also my phone may have auto adjusted brightness or something. Either way, if there is any sort of tint it is very negligible. Same holds true for high elven chain. I will try to get better screenshots in game sometime, although it can often be hard to get good quality full body shots.
