Miscellaneous: Paladin Kael Quest Armor

[nilbog]

I believe this is related to the dynamic lighting that is present with directx8/9+.

If you notice, bronze, valorium, lustrous russet etc also have differing tints.

Here's a thread with some screenshots:

I'm not sure how this is fixable without client magic to disable directx lighting.

On high elf pally's the helm is blue and the rest of the set is a green color.

Bumping this. seems to be an issue with plate classes where thier normal "colorless" plate graphic is yellow. when they equip a "colored" plate item the yellow from the base persists and "mixes" with the new color. This is why you see high elf clerics with skyshrine armor that is green instead of blue (blue and yellow together = green) and a high elf bard in skyshrine armor that looks brown instead of grey (three or more color combos = brown) in the bards case that is yellow + grey.

the base color for high elf velious plate is gold, not grey/white like most races

a grey tint on gold makes it a dark gold aka brown

a light blue tint on gold makes it a dark green

Fixed, pending update.

Though the OP concerns Shining Armor (Kael), which by all accounts should be blue for High Elves, other posts here have mentioned Scaled Knight's Armor (Skyshrine) and unfortunately it seems as though its current color is classic or at least was initially, for a time.

i get this one last night, but on a Highelf Pala
it looks like "rusty Greaves" is this right ?

c a on SolRo Darkgear

Granted, that's only one post and there were still several months (and one or two patches) from that date until Luclin's release, so it's possible a fix was put in (making its color the same blue that other paladin races had) during what is considered late in the classic timeline, possibly even with the Chardok 2.0 patch? I was not playing EverQuest when classic was on the cusp of Luclin, so I don't know. However, of the three screenshots on Allakhazam's page for the Scaled Knight's Breastplate, one shows a female High Elf (Luclin graphics) wearing the same color blue as the Human and Half Elf models (also Luclin graphics) in the other two screenshots. So obviously a correction was made, it's just a question of when exactly that occurred, pre- or post-Luclin. I will do some digging around the internet later today and see if there is mention of it anywhere.
