You can find preview galleries of the new chain and plate looks up now on
EQ2Traders. These will most likely be moving into the game with GU38.
I realise armor appearance changes will always be a touchy issue, and I've tried to minimize the changes to what I thought was necessary to make the look consistent within a level range. Hopefully at least the armor appearances will make more sense now, bronze is bronze, ebon is ebon, and blackened iron is not bright white. And no, there simply aren't enough unique tintable armor appearances to make every different set type have a unique and color coordinated look across every level range, so don't ask or you may get pink armor for Kunark.
I hope the majority will feel the changes are an improvement! Many thanks to Niami of course for setting up and hosting the gallery.
