Question Regarding the White Mage Robe

[Tla]

As I wrote somewhere, once I was IC caught while being OOC and with that on (it was af2 but not much changes) and I was asked since when I was a white mage. I simply answered I never was and that was simply a costume I had someone sew for me. After all, magical proprities apart, it takes nothing to make a perfect copy of a dress, just think of all the fake chanel....

Clothes are clothes, they don't have to say what's your profession, never judge a book by its cover they say?

 

And yes I'm so terribly jealous of npc clothing <.< Kan-E-Senna and Merlwyb have something wonderful and I can understand why we can't have anything similar, they're too important npcs. But all the common clothes we see around? I'm specifically looking at all female npcs with long skirt+bustier, so much jealousy....and many others. In many games I found myself looking at npc clothing and thinking how sometimes it's much better then what we're given. I also agree we're completely lacking on the department of skirts that aren't towel-size, or any kind of elegant clothes. And generally, hardly any casual/non-combat clothes. I'd rather they give us someting similar from events, rather then non usable in rp costumes.

Personally, I handle the "wearing one-of-a-kind Job gear ICly" issue like this: they're either wearing a replica, or something that just happens to look kind of similar. Easy!

 

Do I wear my WHM robe on Astrid? You betcha! I worked hard to get her butt to 50 so of course I'm wearin' it! But she does not call it an official White Mage robe, or claim it was passed down to her from somebody, or anything else like that. She won't even call it a Conjurer's robe. I've demoted it down to something as mundane as possible.

 

It's just a nice coat she wears for chilly weather. It's white with red accents and has a hood. That's it.

 

ICly, I keep things as simple as that. Whether it looks just like the actual WHM robe or not is something I leave up to the RPer, but I keep my emotes about it (if any) intentionally short and vague.

Considering how un-demure my powerhouse femRoe is, seeing her in a formal gown would delight me greatly.

 

I agree, though, some more clothing choices would be most welcome.  Hopefully there will be an appearance tab before too long so that way we can all really get our paper dolly dress-up on.  :3
