When I was a progeny in Rata Sum, one of the mentors brought in an ancient relic. It was a golden goblet. He explained, that it was discovered in a ruin on the elonian island Istan. It found it's way to Kryta with the traveling Zephyrites. Stupid piece of metal, I tought. A simple drinking cup of some long dead elonian nobleman seemed pretty boring to me. The mentor took us to his laboratory. In there he had an apparatus, that could make energy flow visible. He put the goblet inside and turned it on. It was amazing. On the monitor I could see a massive cloud of energy around the goblet. At some times the energy would just flow regularly around the golden cup, but sometimes it started to pulsate. One time it pulsated so strong, that one of the test tubes from another apparatus shattered. It was after this, that the professor turned off the apparatus and hid the goblet in a black box. The box would keep its energy inside, he explained. Also, there are many relics out the in the world, he told us, that contain strange energies or magic. It would be a great breakthrough, if we could find a way to recover and use these energies.
From this day on, I am fascinated with ancient object, especially from Elona. I gathered every piece of information about Elona and was even able to recover some elonian relics. My theory is, that the way, these magical object were created, can tell us how to use the magic kept inside of them.
I was planing an expedition to Elona, but since the Desert Gate is closed, it seems impossible to get there, the stupid guards would not let me through.
I hoped to travel there with the help of the Zephyrites, but then this stupid sylvari came and thought it would be fun to blow up their ships. You should not let plants play with explosives, I almost died in this incident and my chance to get to Elona, well it died for real.
I need to find another way to get there, but until then, maybe I could try to convince the Priory to let me into their secret library. I know there is one, and they can not say no forever.

Hey guys!
This is my mesmer in a kind of desert/elonian outfit. The screens show her in a "desert survival training", since she plans to travel to Elona one day (she's a total Elona nerd xD) and the surroundings suit the look^^
I tried to create a bit of an exotic feeling with the dyes and armor, but still not too fancy. I thought the Zenith weapons could really shine on this look (they are kinda boring to me usual) and I also used some desert/ancient relic like weapons.

Well, let me know, what you think^^

Ohhhhhhhh!!! I really really love this look!
When I saw the thumbnail I already knew I was going to like this look.
I adore her face, in the second extra screenshot she looks pretty cute and funny, she seems like she is in hurry and a bit worried :P And I could say the same with the fourth one. well I could say nice things about every screenshot :)

If I had to say "bad" things, that are very little details: I'm not sure if the zenith weapons are the best ones for this look, it fits the yellowish color but I don't really like it, however it doesn't fit bad in this case.
I guess that the yellowish dye in the leggings should be a little bit more orange-ish, but maybe it's just that the leggings have that problem with the dyes.
And last "bad" thing I want to say is that I guess that a combined screenshot in the character selecion should be always in the looks, but you did put a lot of screenshots for every angle so it's not like a problem :)

The description is very original and I like it pretty much, I hope she can go to Elona haha ;)

It's obvious that I rate this gold, and I would give you more gold if I could.

Good job!!

I'm a sucker for anything desert-themed so this is already amazing. She looks adorable and ready for adventure! The dye work is amazing and the entire look conveys "desert" immediately. Now, I don't think the Zenith sword looks bad, but I think there are other gold sword skins that would fit even better (or maybe something like Alderune's Last Stand, which is what I use for my desert Daredevil). That's just nitpicking really -- this is a clear gold.

Feathered headpiece? Conjurer chest? Desert theme? Seems like we both bought from the same fashion catalog. (http://i.imgur.com/LgmnWYD.jpg) Although my character's not finished yet and my intentions lay more with sorcerer as opposed to explorer I like the similar line of thought we both shared.

But even though I adore your look I can't trust myself to leave an impartial review. I will say this however: I love the flow of the armor pieces you chose. The scarf and gloves are really reminiscent of the conservative aesthetic that desert garbs convey, and the cut of the chest matches very well with the pants.

Omg I think this is my new favourite look of yours, you really outdid yourself here, Nana!
The armour pieces are chosen soo well, I simply love the headpiece here and everything goes together so incredibly well
Such an interesting choice to use the Zenit skins as well, you really elevated a quite unpopular skin set with your amazing look
Your screens are incredibly good and overall I just really wish I could give you more than gold, so much love!

According to my personal taste, I am not convinced by the shoulders (I think they break the harmony between the chest and the headpiece - but the shape of the shoulders is good) and some weapons choices, maybe her face is too "cute" for my taste and I would have imagined a darker skin for a look like that. Also, the gold fusion on the pants seems too bright compared to the gold fusion on the chest but maybe it's different in game.
However, it's my personal taste and objectively the rest of the armor mix and the colors work very well (yellow/blue is a really good choice for your theme), I like the proportions (a difficult thing to do well for an asura), she exudes a certain charisma that I appreciate and there is some nice screenshots, so, gold :]

dang, really love your overall theme here
desert looks always get me
the mix of armour is great from head to toe and you made her quite the character with your awesome description and screens
a little ambiguous about the dyes as they feel a little too colorful to me but on the other hand they look quite neutral in your screens so I´d say that´s just a minor complaint
anyways, not taking away from your solid gold

The armor looks damn fantastic. The only thing I dislike about the whole set is that I don't really see the zenith skins fitting with the armor (eventhough they are really fitting with the theme), but that could be because I dislike the zenith skins. Great work.
