Cultural/Racial armorsets

[MusikDisaster]

Does anyone have any good pictures of the cultural armor sets? And know where in the game you can find them?
I absolutely ADORE the Norn sets, but I've seen so little of them. Haven't seen much of the human and Charr sets besides the Character Creation screen.
From my understanding, the sets are generally:

Human: Adorned with gold and silver embellishment. Very flowy, usually practical.

Norn: Fur and Leather, lots of celtic knots and other north-European designs. Reminiscent of vikings or celtic warriors.

Charr: Spikes, patchwork, very menacing looking armor. Mostly metal with lots of skulls on them. And more spikes.

Asura: A marriage between technology and magic, probably a lot of individual limb enhancements in the style of Asura golems. Lots of floaty bits.

Sylvari: We've seen it, plants, flowers, and the like, beautiful stuff.

There's concept art of the gear, but I haven't seen many in-game screenshots. If you go ahead and post them in, I'll try to edit them all into this thread. Include info like where you got it, level requirement, and the like.

Asura: Not gonna lie, no idea what their gear will look like.

If it stays true to Asura culture (as we've seen it), the "cultural armor" will be bound to be a marriage between technology and magic, probably a lot of individual limb enhancements in the style of Asura golems.

Not to mention a lot of floaty pieces.

with so many possibilities for sylvari i wonder exactly how many cultural armor sets they'll have

right now they pretty much seem to be prestige pieces, but from sylvari week they made it out to be "yea, they just grow the armor, usually they wear the plant armor" and made normal armor seem to be rarer with them

Well no doubt it'll be bought anyways, rather than grown in. What's curious to me though is that Sylvari start with unique plant starter gear while Charr/Humans/Norn all start with the same look gear for each armor class. I'd like to see them extend that to each race, you start out with a culturally themed armor set.

i say grown in based on the lore they gave us during sylvari week, not as a method of gear acquisition

Mhm, that's what I figured. Though I'd say there'll be as many sets of plant gear as there will Charr spiky gear or Norn leather and fur gear.

i only saw the one set with a few tiers, like 4 total per race assuming each skin is different


thats still not alot esp for sylvari. plus it'd make makign a sylvari look... "right" the most expensive since they really only look right with racial armor on

[worprz]

I am so happy there is racial armor I had wanted this in wow for so long but it never happened
