- I use ghostly infusions, which is the black/blue aura you'll see -
- I'd use Bifrost if I had it -
-NOTE: Shoulders/Gloves in the main image are different from the rest. Switched the shoulders out today and I'm testing the gloves c: -
(For whatever reason the cover picture is kinda low res unless you click on it. Odd)
I'll start off by saying I'm aware theres nothing insanely unique about this outfit, it's just what my main character has been wearing for quite a while and since I'm likely changing it soon, I figured I'd make a post.
[There are 2 different dye combinations used. To achieve the purple look all you have to do is swap the Antique Gold to Celestial and the Celestial to your favourite purple C: ]
Like my other posts, I'm VERY bad with action shots and camera work on this game, so it's quite basic. Sorry.
I guess there's not a whole lot else to say, here's Jes :)
OH, and in one of the screenshots she's wearing the Wings of Ascension. I don't really like the backpiece on her but I had it on and figured I'd screenshot it :P

As you said yourself, its not too original.
It does look good though! ^^
Nowadays its hard to create something completely unseen anyway, so a simple comb which is just pretty will do from time to time ;)
To have it out of my mind i just have to say it: the scarf is out of place and pulls the look into the human female meta :/
You should try to find another shoulder-piece imo!
I do like both colour-schemes you provided! The purple one fits the glint wings a bit better though. The tempest staff is also a great addition!
Your screens are actualyl quite nice, even though you said you are bad at it ;D
As a tip: just wait for your character to do the idle animation, then take screenshots. Its very simple, but creates nice poses in an easy way!
The scarf and lack of originality make it a Silver for me. Its close to a Gold though!
Im looking forward to see more from you :D

Hah, yeah, when I was new to the game around 8 months ago I really liked the scarf and bought it before I even knew what the "human female meta" was. I like the Lich shoulders but everyone else seems to hate them, if I stay with the look a little bit longer I'll look into some different shoulders for sure. At least I don't have bunny ears!
And yeah, the reason I even switch to purple sometimes is because of the wings, and it's also darker so it looks better with the infusion, but it's been purple for a little while and I wanted to go back to gold/white for a bit.
Thank you for the feedback! :D
(It's also slightly unoriginal with the Carapace pieces because I have 2 other light armour females -sigh- that are kinda taking up most of the armour pieces I like, and I don't really like sharing pieces across armour :/)

Haha yeah i get you ^^
Creating styles for female humans is kinda frustrating, since its the most played race and its hard to create something unique!
Also its hard to get away from favorite armor-pieces and get used to other styles ;D

Hm. I don't like you anymore. I checked your post history and all your outfits are so creative and well done.
(Oh, also thank you for the compliment on the staff. I'd wanted it for a really long time and after I came back from a break I learned how to make gold really fast and was able to buy it c: )
I have 2 other outfits posted, since I love yours so much would you mind looking at one or both of them and telling me what you think? :)

As you said yourself, the whole look is not super original, but I do really love your dyes, both sets this is
The main one has this super soft look I really like and the other just fits really well with the Glint theme
Not a big fan of the scarf, I think a lot of people could get a little "braver" when it comes to shoulders and experiment a little more, since the scarf mostly feels like a super safe option (and is almost always out of place style wise)
It really only scraped by a gold vote a little bit, but I trust you to improve ^^

Second comment about the scarf :"(
I bought it like 9 months ago when I was a new player and I just really liked it and since this is my main character and she's been wearing it so long it just seems so weird without it :')
I'll go change it. Ty for feedback c:

They all already look so much better!
My personal fave would be 2
If you go with 3 I´d suggest you bring in a little gold and blue there as well ^^

Yeah, I already switched to 2. I really like it, not sure how I never saw it.

I like all options! ^^
My personal fav would be 1 i guess. It might be the least original version, but thats for a reason. The leystone skin just fits the magical, almost fairyish theme of the carapce set extremely well imo.
Your new version with the 2nd option already looks a lot better than the scarf version i think :D

I went with 2 just because I really didn't like asymmetric shoulders with this outfit. Ty for the opinion C:
Hopefully I see your comments on my future posts.
[Also, I think you could really make good use of the Caustic Nightmare skin set on your Sylvari characters!]
