Make fancy clothes cost less

[Diomedes]

Hi

I think that it would be nicer to have fancy clothes cost less, scaled more to their armour rating rather than their perceived fanciness.  This change would likely mean that peasant characters would have more diversity in their armours as they level up, and non-peasant characters would have more options when they're trying to make money quickly.  We would also get to see more characters in cooler outfits, which seems like a plus when there are so many good armour models that people aren't using very often.

Added benefits: more players in lighter armour mean that archers would have an easier time killing enemies, rather than merely wounding targets.  I know a few bowmen who would really appreciate this quasi-buff.  Strength builds would also become less efficient for players who opt to diversify, which would hopefully encourage more players to opt for more balanced builds more of the time.

not bad idea, i would like to shoot ppl wearing priest robe shouting all the time: " die heretics"

i think the point is, that if they where cheap, they wheren't fancy and special 

 its the same with most of the "style" items , an  known but unspoken rule, that you have to pay for style ... thats the way it is and i dont mind ^^

They were only used for trolling back when they cost the same as all the other armours in their stat group.

I don't mind trolling, but I actually liked when the price of "fancy clothes" was raised since it makes them more matter of style than cost-benifit-fun choice (e.g. priest robes are better).

Also: add a poll so I wont have to -1 you. Unless you are farming points

Better yet, why not have a convention for all the stats of all the armors, instead of this "WHATEVER THE FUCK I FEEL LIKE" approach.

I added a poll to the thread.  If people would like more poll options then please do say so.  The current options represent what I've taken to be the main proposals of the thread so far.

I would rather see the prices increased.
It would feel better to use them if you knew not "everyone" could afford it.
Now, they are just too cheap making them nothing but peasant clothes really.

If you want to dress like a noble, you have to have a noble's wealth.
