Alternative Appearance sets

Post#1 » Thu Nov 19, 2015 11:20 pm

As I wrote this I noticed the vendor of Khorne, this post is to add to the already established idea of cosmetic vendors. Screenshots to for armours soon

As the Age of Reckoning continues, the leaders of both the forces of destruction and order have doubled their efforts, formed new pacts and reallocated their forces to send these regiments of renown to the fore!

There are several NPC gear sets for different classes that could be incorporated into the game with minimal effort. The idea of this new gear would be strictly cosmetic as it will use a base item with mediocre stats. Each of these Alternative gear sets are in place to give a character a different feel as without breaking the look or feel of this Age of Reckoning.

Included here is a list of alternative armour sets, the location of the vendor, and lore reason why such “career change” would take place. Because these armour sets are for appearance only, only allies would be able to see this appearance change.

Chosen of Khorne
Class: Chosen
Vendor Location: Khorne Quarters – Undercroft (IC) & Bastion Stair
Lore:
Many a feared chosen starts their brutal existence as warriors of chaos, eager to appease the gods, during the age of reckoning, many of these warriors seek the patronage of Tzeentch, but not all fit into the Raven God’s grand design.
Some see the warpath as a cause onto itself, they are overcome with their rage, and exalt in slaughter, becoming Chosen of Khorne. For Tzeentch is a fickle god, and is happy to manipulate the Blood god and his servants, for even the most bloodthirsty Khorne warrior serves Tzeentch by changing life filled bodies to headless husks?


Empire Greatswords:
Class: Knight
Vendor Location: Near Karl Franz(Altdorf)
Lore:
War has come to many great states of the empire, from the fringes of Nordland to the heart of Reikland. The heaviest fighting in this bloody war has been filled in with the knightly order such as the Knights of the Blazing Sun. In a political bid, Karl Franz has convinced to some of the Elector Counts to send their Elite Bodyguards; the Empire Greatswords into the fray. The Greatswords are handpicked from the battle seasoned warriors, and need not be born from aristocracy, making them both a diverse and deadly group. It is not unusual for the Elector Counts to send Regiments of Greatswords into bloodiest battles, for their stubborn determination is as resilient as the plate they wear.

Rank: 30 RR 40 (At this point in a KOTBS career, the knight is chosen by an elector count, or Karl Franz himself, to become an Empire Greatsword)
Set type: Offensive (as the name implies this is for Two-hander Kotbs)

Dragon Princes of Caledor:
Class: Swordmaster
Vendor Location: Altdorf Warquarters - & Caledor Warcamp
Lore:
All elves heed the call to war, be it noble-born or tradesmen. Every Elven realm trains both swordsmen and archer alike, as mastery of these skill ensures a powerful standing army that can be called at any time. Where each realm differs is how they muster their most powerful troops. War is no stranger to the elf realm of Caledor, The realms name sake, Caledor Dragontamer gave birth to the very concept of Dragon Princes, the finest cavalry force in all of Ulthuan.
While the White Lions of Chrace and Swordmasters of Hoeth have come to shine during this Age of Reckoning, the Dragon Princes have now been unleashed! Desperate to defend both Caledor and Ulthuan, these mighty warriors will cut down any who stand in their way with sword strikes only surpassed by a true Swordmaster.

Rank 30 RR 40 (The swordmaster like the pervious classes look more like a “CORE” elf trooper up till this point, attainting this rank proves that the elf can take his rightful place as a Dragon Prince)
Set type: Defensive (The swordmaster is a master of the Twohander, the Dragon Prince exemplifies durability)

Night Goblins:
Class: Goblins
Vendor Location: Entrance to Mount Gunbad
Lore:
The Night Goblins are the sneakiest, slyest, and vindictive of all goblin kind, and while their numbers are great, they are the weediest Gobbo and easiest to bully. During this long and brutal war the Bloody Sun Boyz has managed to “convince” the Night Goblins of Mount Gunbad to join their ranks. Night Goblins "happily" join WAAAGH!!! Grumlok given the ample opportunity to kill their most hated enemies, the dwarfs.
The Night goblins are often used as fodder or sorts, as many of them go into to battle drunk off Fungus beer, while the more powerful shamans, eat magic mushrooms for greater power. Night Goblins are also the most notable source of squigs, a commodity that has great, yet terrible value in this dark time. It is no coincidence why the forces of destruction are opting to send more of these sun hating fanatics into the front lines.

Rank 30 RR 40


Savage Orc:
Class: Choppa
Vendor Location : Chapter 1
Lore:
Savage Orcs are known for their wanton abandon, and while unruly and strange, WAAAGH!!! GRUMLOK has seen many Savage Orc tribes join in on the fight. It is the way of orcs to gather around a powerful figure, and a WAAAGH! Such as Grumlok’s hold the promise of the most ferocious of fights. What more can an Orc ask for?
The Savage Orcs eschew armour, in favour of warpaint, believing it to be all the protection an Orc needs. The Black Orcs are all too happy to claim the lion share of treasure, even if it means putting up with creatures as strange and frenzied as Savage Orcs.


Rank 1 RR 1 (This armour set looks like the Orc is wearing nothing at all…nothing at all!)


Dwarf Thane:
Class: Iron Breaker
Vendor: Planning room near High King Thorgrim Grudgebearer (Altdorf)
Lore:
The High King Thorgrim Grudgebearer has seen that some of the dwarf warriors have served with distinction, playing a pivotal role in wiping out entire pages of grudges from Dammaz Kron. It is only fit that such warriors of distinction are raised to the role of Thane, one of the highest honours the High King can bestow. Dwarf Thanes can lead the Throng to battle in the stead of a dwarf lord, and rightfully so, as they are powerful warriors and tacticians. It is the will of the High King that dwarf hands scratch out every entry from the fabled Book of Grudges, and his thanes will be this instrument!
Rank 30 RR 40


Slayer:
Class: Slayer
Vendor Location : Chapter 1

Lore:
During the Age of Reckoning many Slayers have gained decent reputations based on the simple fact that no challenge has been able to grant them death. These Slayers are considered both successes and failures. While some Slayers have no qualms using rune infused baubles to enhance their ability, other slayers prefer to rely only on their skill and luck to slay.

Note: This appearance set is similar to the choppas (no actual armour), but unlike the choppa the armour is more to hide gloves and shoulder slots, since belts, pants, and aren’t considered to be armour. This gives each slayer the choice on what his slayer considers armour.
Rank 1 RR1

I like idea of appearance items in this type, in many game this thing is implemented when player get's gear just for costomization.
