Hey everyone!

I am ITIarathon, otherwise also known as Mako or IT. And today, I have finally unveiled my Mesmer, Renee Teylo, I have made quite a couple of outfits that I have spent a lot of time on.

My Mesmer, as you could probably tell from the title, is my favourite profession as it is an incredibly unique and fun class to play. And Renee is easily the character that I have spent the most time into making her look as amazing as possible.

I will be posting more high quality images when I can get a beastly PC rig, I am unfortunately stuck with a potato laptop that overheats really quickly when my game graphics are set too high.

EDIT: I have posted more screenshots of my Mesmer, if you are curious at what the process is like, it goes along the lines of a lot of alt-tabbing to prevent my laptop from overheating due to the high graphical settings, and a lot of good timing. Also, I have the full album of my Mesmer screenshots here! http://imgur.com/a/Ov4I8

EDIT 2: Hey guys, another update! So, recently, my Mesmer look hit first place (not right now, though) on the Look Battles and World Ranking leaderboards. I did not expect to make it this far, and I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to those who enjoyed and voted for this look, thank you so much! With that said, firstly, I have slightly changed the look title to reflect the regal status of purple and gold. Lastly, ever since posting this look, I have updated Renee's look with new weapon skins, dyes that match more closely together for the overall theme and a new backpiece. I cannot wait to show the look to all of you, but I am really busy with real life priorities, a.k.a exams, as they are around the corner, as of now.

Anyway, I hope you like the screenshots, let me know what you think. ^^

I really love the look, the only thing I don't really like is the backpiece, haha. But I have the same issue with mine - ugh why is the Lyssa backpiece so darn expensive!

But what's most fascinating to me - you managed to match the legpiece to the top! Be honest, how long did it take you? The profane armor is a real b**** to match, I tried and gave up on it so many times..

Hey Mina! I am really happy that you love the look, thank you!

As for your question, matching the top and the leggings didn't take too terribly long. I figured that using Shadow Dyes can partially address the problem of the Profane set bleaching dyes, from there, I find another dark toned dye that matches the Shadow Dyes as closely as possible. Hope that answers your question! ^^

She's lovely! Don't think the fractals skins fits that well, but the rest is perfect ^_^

Thank you Chro! :D

Also, for those of you who really liked this look or have been following me, I am really excited to show you all my next iteration of this look ever since posting this version.

So, what has changed? I have adjusted some dyes to better match the hues across the armour, and also for the colours on some parts of the armour to be more pronounced and vibrant, I have went ahead and changed the backpiece and the weapons as well.

However, I am still on my hiatus from GW2, and exams are around the corner, so I have to work my butt off for about 2 more months.

Also, Heart of Thorns' release date has been officially announced, 23 October 2015, save the date! Hope to see you all soon! Take care, and HYPE TIME.

Hey Rox, thank you!

I hope that they are bringing the Queen's Jubilee back for either this year or the next. I would spend hours just trying to get that recipe for Chaos of Lyssa, the recipe is just so expensive on the TP as of now.

I have written an update in the comments earlier, which states that I have updated Renee's look with a new backpiece and some other stuff. I cannot wait to show it to all of you, I am just really busy with real life priorities for now. :D

Awesome look. I thought about phoenix and profane for my ele a while ago but decided against it. Clearly you made it work like I couldn't!

Hey Sicay! Thank you for the kind words!

And I know the pain of trying to mix certain armour pieces together when their colour hues are all mixed up. xD

Not a bad combo & color too, nice. But I'm not sure about this choice of shoulders, I think it would be better with something asymmetric.

Hello Billy, thank you for the feedback!

Hmm... Something asymmetric? I will see what I can do, but the reasons why I chose the Ascended shoulderpieces are because; they have a feathery motif which I feel, goes really well with look. The shoulders also oozes regal status everywhere if dyed properly, I mean, gold trimming in a swirl and purple acting as the main colour! Also, I have recently updated Renee's look, as mentioned in my updated description, and the shoulders go really well together with the updated look.

Anyway, thank you for the feedback! I will try to find a set of asymmetric shoulders that gels well with the look, if I can't, well, the Ascended shoulders are here to stay. :D
