Ways to obtain alternate appearance gear/trophies.

[RyanMakara]

I know this might be a long way from being actually implemented, seeing as it relates to appearance items and ways to obtain them, which isn't an important priority given the game's current state. However, I hope this might make it as a sticky, and considered for future reference.

So, we used to have the Tome of Knowledge bestiary unlocks, right? If you killed another player (mostly in t1), they'd have a chance of dropping a class-specific token which would be used to unlock bestiary rewards. What if we used these drops for our -own- classes and use them to buy the special appearance gear from the planned vendors, for the good-looking gear goodies. These could also be added to some quests that are lacking proper rewards right now, to incite some PvE experience for your road to uber looking gear.

Now, with the so-called 'role-playing armors', we could seriously use alternate appearance gear option. I know it's rough work and it might cause a lot of bugs, maybe even armor/weapon dupes, but it would make the experience we're already having even better, to be able to speak character from the appearance you have. It'd be wonderful to have the appearance work for -both- realms as well, so we can see one another's experience in combat/all-round PvE ability. Combined with the nice dyes we already have access too, this way we could all see who the true conquerors of the game are.

Also, another thing... the bestiary unlocks for every class also had a trophy reward associated to them. Could we perhaps also add these to player's droptables, when the trophy system as been re-introduced? Again, I know this is far away, and has no priority what-so-ever at the moment, but they were really fun to have and see ^^

Last I remember nagol said he had looked into or done some work on alt appearance

Now I'm a strong independent choppa who needs no clothes but alt appreance would help aliviate the issue of missing item models

I totally agree with this suggestion. And as Coryphaus says, it would help with the issue of "nakedness" because of no item models in x armors (But Choppas are savaj boyz after all )

That goes straight to my sig

I'm already seeing an army of full-RS equipped Choppaboyz being naked because of alt appearance

EDIT: Working alt appearance would be a bandaid, a way to circumvent missing item models
