Of course, maybe this is all Ferrel's fault. Going back to old school DND and EQ1 rules, where Clerics get to wear plate armor, he argues that "Clerics do not wear chain mail unless it is under plate." Maybe Trion decided to listen to him, cause it sure looks like you could get those "leggings" under some plate. If you don't mind the chafing anyway.
Oh my god, I made a tongue-in-cheek comment about those EXACT same pair of leggings on Twitter earlier this month. I was trying to see how they would look with the rest of my outfit, imagine my surprise when I saw...practically nothing.

These are bought from the Planar Goods vendors, correct? If not there is a pair that look exactly like that. I believe the reason is because the matching chest piece on the same vendor is a 'dress' type Hauberk, which eliminates the need to even make a graphic for those particular leggings.
ReplyDeleteThere's actually a pair of "leggings" just out of the tutorial zone for Defiant characters that I was about to write a bug for. You're only about level 6 at the time, and a quest rewards you with a chestpiece that goes down far enough to cover the chainmail bikini bottom that you're given in another quest. I was convinced that my pants were bugged and missing their models, until I took off the rest of my gear and saw that my underwear was gray.
ReplyDeleteThe anonymous one may have the correct answer. It just hadn't occurred to me to check, because I didn't have the shards for both pieces, and the pants were a much bigger upgrade. It was only after I bought and equipped them that I realized that I had no more pants.
ReplyDeleteOver in WoW, I remember once having a pair of pants that was literally the bottom half of the matching robe - i.e. if you took off the robe, only the top half of it would disappear because the pants were the same texture from the waist down. Clunky I suppose, but at least you don't go pantless.
Maybe they were trying to be clever and the translation was supposed to be 'pants' in a very English sort of way.
ReplyDeleteI will accept blame on this one!
ReplyDeleteOne of the things that surprises me in Rift is that the plate is frequently more revealing than the chain!
I bet on a male character, these would go all the way to the ankles and not reveal an inch of leg?
