lol thats my guild, but what im saying is ist seems like their are very few different armors, it only shows 5 different armors

There are 3 differant types of armour. Light, Medium and Heavy. For each type of armour there are three quality types. Basic, Medium and High. Each race has it's own designs for each type and quality, 9 in total for each. So in total there are, if my maths are correct, 36 differant armours.

To further complicate the maths you could also add in that there are 4 differant bonuses you could put on armour and in several combinations.

Also there is special Boss armour too, but you can't craft that so I've left that out of my maths. But there are only 4 versions of that, but not all are currently available.

Obviously you'd choose what you need depending on what you're doing.

but thats not a lot of different type compaired to other mmos
Deffinatly a bad point in the game

Yep...

9 designs per race, multiplied by 8 possible colors, multiplied by 4 races and still no individual dying around.
Adds up to 288 possible regular armor designs per armor slot...

Add one not-so-unique-anymore armor set in 4 colors and a few (I don't have the exact number, shame on me...) faction specific armor pieces.

OK.. apart from the not-so-unique-anymore pieces which are not craftable every single piece of those is reproduceable.
Yet... isn't that better than having 400 different pieces of oh-so-unique armor per slot available while everybody will be running around in the uber-dropped Plate of Light or Cape of Fear when having risen out of the depths of noobishness?
Or is it a matter of liking? Or of being used to? *shrugs*

It' s easy to combine most of the pieces to a whole new set/look if you just want to go for apearance. The Atysian male Idol will probably have a lot more to say about that. (maybe even give some hints )


Eitherway, SoR has unlike many other MMO' s no fixed stats on crafted items, save for the npc armors.
There are minima and maxima on each stat for each type of armor; each crafter can 'tailor' those stats according to the needs or demands of the customer (if they know their proffesion that is), some crafters seem to have a preference for certain recipies but it is almost a certainty that you won' t easily find the same heavy armor leggings with the same statistics from a different crafter.

Well, if you like to play dress-up, may wanna look some other place. I hear Barbie online is coming out soon, may be your thing. LOL j/k, there are enough diff color schemes, and armor types here to look different from most. Sure you might see a few people wearing the same looking armor, but id rather see that as compared to the great iron chestplate of 1337ness, dropped by the evil lord ragnafook in the heart of heated core

4608 different craftable suits if you don't take into consideration the stats.
