As I antagonized over what race/class to play, i found a lack of good comparison of armor sets between various races/genders.

https://wiki.project1999.com/Players...r_Sets_by_Race
Is great for blue, or if you care what you look like when you get Velious armor textures in 2+ years, but what if you want to look great now??

I used the archived Allakhazam Fashion Tables (as suggested at the top of the Players:Fashion page) and created a few collages, including
Banded Armor
Rubicite Armor
various robes
Class Armor (for 3 classes)

Between banded and Rubicite, you can see the plate and chain graphics for most race/genders, so use your imagination for the various tints. Or help me out and add additional collages for the remaining class armors (Warrior, SK, Pally, Priest) and leather armor (for druids). I'm done for now!

Since these are collages I Didn't really mess with the fashion tag functionality of the wiki, I just dumped them onto that one page (I also stuck the banded and rubicite collages on the pages for those armor sets). If someone wants to more intelligently tag these images with categories or what not, please do.

Wow, someone had pointed me towards that link of files wayyyy back when I first started doing fashion research to build the fashion categories (I'm not a FashionQuester myself, I just added the wiki stuff 'cause people wanted it, so I really didn't know anything about how fashion worked back then).

But I completely forgot about them as I learned about more structured data (ie. the Lucy fashion fields). All those images would be PERFECT for "fashion shows" on the wiki, and I truly love those collages.

Whether you like it or not I'm stealing them for the corresponding fashion category pages [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] And if you want to make any more, I'll shamelessly use them too!

oh you added this, I see. Looks fantastic thank you for contributing!
I especially like the Rubicite Armor images. That was missing big time previously.

It must have taken a fair bit of time to get all these. Excellent work.

Yes, thank you!

BTW, I just wanted to mention that ... I have no idea why this was the case ... but for some reason the Fashion: Plate category had a ton of screenshots, while the Fashion: Chain one had none for the longest time.

Thanks to your Banded Armor collage, that is no longer the case! https://wiki.project1999.com/Category:Fashion:_Chain

And they built all those wizard pyramids. Amazing!

P.S. Just to throw this out there, if anyone really loves fashion and wants to help the wiki, our fashion section is a little schizophrenic ATM.

The original wiki fashion stuff was this page: http://wiki.project1999.com/Fashion. It was great for having lots of images in one place, but not so great for "how will armor ____ look on me?"

As a result I added the fashion categories, and then the "fashion shows" to display appropriate images on them. The "entry point" into FashionQuesting for that stuff is the "FashionQuest Guide" page: http://wiki.project1999.com/FashionQuest_Guide.

There's also the http://wiki.project1999.com/FashionQuest, which is just a placeholder between the two.

I'm sure what every FashionQuester would ideally want is one page, that sort of combines /Fashion and /FashionQuest Guide. Or if the combined page would be too big, maybe still have separate pages, but reorganize things so that there's one clear "entry point" into fashion on the wiki.

It's on my "someday" list, but again I'm not a huge FashionQuester personally, so I'm not super motivated to do it (vs. all the other wiki projects I have). If anyone wants to try and "coalesce" all the wiki's fashion data (well, not the categories themselves, but at least the links to them that the guide has) into a single page (or multiple pages logically separated/linked from one page), it'd be a huge improvement.

How do you figure out what color an item is if you don't know, and you know its wrong on the wiki? Example: Burynai Legion Gi isn't correct as of right now. Its a robe in the Cryosilk category, but tinted with this pink sort of color. The color says leather though, which isnt a color.
