Actually, as you know, one of my jobs is to deliver the bricks and other stuff from the store, which takes me to the most diverse places in the game, from mines to storages and to PK areas. And even at storages, maybe 5% of the people (that is, 1 in 20) wears fancy clothes.Heh, yeah, was just my bad attempt at humor.
I can, of course, give them some cold/heat protection, but I doubt that more people will wear them because of that.I think what people fear more is breakage. If walking around and a snake/rabbit/other such tiny critter is in my path (or one comes close when harving or at an outside sto or whatnot), I'll stop and give it a kick for extra skin/bones/meat. Quite common occurance, I know I see others do this as well.
I find myself not wanting to do that dressed though for fear that some tiny little rabbit is gonna kill expensive clothes.
Those who do that regularly are gonna find it simpler just to not wear them at all. That's the non-fighter crowd. With the fighter crowd having their own stuff to wear, that leaves only the few, the proud, the extremely vain. Wait, I'm in there... doh.
Agree about the cold/heat protection not going to aid. I wear 'em in glac/Irin mining diamonds/turq/etc. all the time when there. Worst case with leather boots (or the fur pants work "good enough" style-wise with one of my tunics, heh).
Added: Of course such items being more easily destroyed than armor and such is obviously correct. Just thinking less chance of breakage on critters that are much lower level than you (1-2 hit kill types) shouldn't have much opportunity to have time to completely destroy clothes at all. At any rate, that's my theory on why there's not more usage of them. Harving/Mixing can't hurt 'em, so...
-
...people rarely wear them anyway, usually just shortly after a new set of clothes becomes makable.Possibly spending too much time hanging at areas fighters tend to hang out at? They don't wear 'em for some reason.
Sitting at places where alchers and harvers are at, I see a large variety of clothes on people (myself included). Anytime I'm not fighting, I'm wearing 'em. Posts above indicate the same of others.
As a purchaser (who has a very long way to go before even considering making them), I see the issues as:
(1) Lack of pants options - Black, brown, or clown stripes. Some more plain colors as suggested above that actually match all the tunics and shirts and such that have been introduced would be most welcome. The stripes just don't work well.
(2) Complete lack of footwear to go with all the varieties of other items. (Suggested Snake Skin Boots already which would add 3 options at least.)
(3) Nothing uses orange. (That's the future tailor in me speaking, heh.)
Also agree that reducing breakage potential (say on critters with lower a/d than you) might also go a way into adding to the desire to wear them. If a little bunny can rip your clothes to shreds as has been implied above, I don't wanna meet that bunny.

all Pickaxes
all Needles

Thanks to everyone who's ordered, you've made this a success.
Two price adjustments:
1- Earth Essences are now 7, up from 6.5 due to ingredient costs. Still in the normal price range though.
2- Life essences are getting another cut, from 5 to 4.8.
(As per our not-so-fine print in the first post, if you ordered one of these before the price change and not received delivery, the lowest of the prices applies to you.)
-
SOLD! Thanks to all participants.
Auction is now over. (And you can stop pesterin' me with attempts to "bless" them and such, like I'm some newbie who'd fall for that.
) -
Looks like we've hit a price level.
So I'm taking this to its end. 6 hours to place your final bids! (Current high bid is 215kgc)
-
Current bid is 210kgc.
Auction will be over ~48 hours after the last bid is made.
-
Sorry, forgot to add: Wearing requires Human 7.
-
Wrong direction, DMan. ;-) 170kgc post above yours
-
Guys, don't keep editing your previous posts to change the bid, we can't keep track of it that way. If you're making a new bid, make a new post.
-
^ I think you can see the current high bid as easily as me.
-
They... don't match my aug set...
Bid, watch others bid more than you, bid some more.
No starting point. No requirements on how much to raise.
But be reasonable. I'll accept less from another bidder than more from you if you're making a jerk of yourself with 1gc increases and other such nonsense.
Ends when I say it ends. Above subject to change if people get too silly with it.
With that said, have fun, and may the person with the fattest wallet... er, largest amount of gc in sto win.
Stats are:
4 emu weight
+6 armor
+3 heat protection
+3 cold protection
+3 magic protection
+2 radiation protection
Human 7 nexus to wear
Not accepting any "buy now" offers. Don't bother PMing me about them. gc only. Private PM bids accepted, but bugging me repeatedly is not.

GoodDay2Die -> 5k iron ore, 5k red quartz (17.5k + 10k = 27.5kgc)

Sold in-game. No more silly channel 3 messages about how you dance like a clucking chicken and such. ;-)
Thread can be closed.

!K Magic essence and whatever EME result.Please don't be too quick because I have to raise my funds to pay for it.
Time to hit the mines!
I notice the Magic Essence price is 7.5gc each. I don't know how much the EME would be, but we can talk about that if you make one during the process.
Please gossip tell me when you see this order and again when the order is done.

All orders to here accepted and either delivered or in progress.

Errr... guys I did a second order for 5k silver here.
It was in "unclaimed" yesterday.
Today it's nowhere in the list.
I'm believing Ollie's post (further down same thread page) stating he'd delivered my first (same) order was used as a reason to remove it from the list, thinking that was the order being referred to.
I'm still needing that second order.
-
I'd imagine the prob would be the "sinkhole" for cash that is paying for leather, while snake skins are free.
Thus the idea to make them less attractive as fighting gear. Those who are still on leather boots would still find leather boots preferable.
And yes, the idea was to match other tailor-variety clothes.
-
Think these would be about the same as leather, but maybe a higher break factor. (More desirable for looks than fighting.)
Of course, green, red, and brown types, with some possibilities there for blended colors.
