1328 AE: In the heart of the Maguuma jungle, a group of Asura called the ASA worked tirelessly to quantify ley line energy. In the wake of the Thaumanova Reactor disaster, they experimented on only small amounts of magic, taking every precaution to avoid another catastrophe. Although a thief by nature, sylvari Cajid had been fascinated by the ley energy since she was a sapling, and worked to gain the trust of the ASA. Together, they created a new line of leystone plating and weapons, fit for practical use and everyday battles. The leystone, radiating with magic, provided the wearer with a cyan aura. Because of her participation in the development of the leystone armor, Cajid was able to imbue her own leafy covering with the stone's magic, making her appear to pulsate with energy.

I'm not very happy with the dye (or the boots actually), but because the zodiac blue color is so strong and the leystone armor displays dye kinda wonky I'm not sure what to do. Any advice would be great!

Really interesting idea you got here, I love the Zodiac coat on medium armour and I appreciate that you found a way to make it look cool without having to go full Zodiac armour
While I like the overall direction you are going in with the dyes, they feel a little bit bland on the coat in particular; I would maybe use a darker color for accentuating or something, because it does look a little bit like you more or less only used one dye when in fact you didnĀ“t
But other than this I really dig the look!
You made some kickass screens, delivered a nice description and found fitting weapons, all in all a gold for this creative look!

The Sylvari legs were a good choice because of how they light up at nighttime.

Great Leystone look! I really love how the coat looks on your character and I am glad that you used some cultural pants that are not too 'heavy' looking so that we can lay our eyes more on the beautiful chestpiece.
The armour pieces around your overall look are as well spot on. Love the shoulders here and those boots are my absolute favourite. You really managed to incorperate the Zodiac and Leystone items very very well and it really works for me. The weapons are also fitting and amazing and I really love how the skin tone and the haircolour is matching so well together with the whole thing.
The glowing eyes are a great addition and very authentic.
I think your dye choice is also quite nice but I agree with Elessar that you should add some more conrast to the colourscheme. Right now it looks a little bit plain here and there and I think a darker shade would work wonders here.
But the overall look is very convincing and beautiful and your screens are outstanding. Gold from me :3

This look has a lot of potential to improve upon. Currently, it feel unfinished to me. Here are a couple of suggestions: Try the Carapace boots? Try changing color of the cloth part - like Mad King colors? Try different a staff skin?

@Elessar Taralom- I agree about the dyes! Since I posted this I changed the cloth part to dark blue, which looks better. Still, I feel like its a little bit bland. I'm having trouble figuring out what combo would look best.

@Twigz- Ideally I would dye the leggings electric blue, because that color closely matches the zodiac blue color and it glows better in the dark. Unfortunately I don't have enough gold to drop on the dye :~(

@Iris- I've already tried the carapace boots, but I think they look too heavy for the whole outfit. I'm still playing around with the dyes, I can def try mad king colors. I'm not really sure what I should do about the staff. I'm not in love with the skin I picked, but I couldn't really find a better one.

Also, I'm sorry about this long line of my posts? I'm probably just missing something but I can't seem to find a reply button?
