The FAQ says:

Q: Can I wear my costume in player vs. player?

   A: You can leave your costume equipped, but it will not appear in PvP matches.

Article says it can't be worn though. Anyone with the costumes tested it yet? 75.26.167.114 01:33, December 18, 2009 (UTC)

They can be equipped, but they do not have any effect in PvP.--Łô√ë Roar.îğá†ħŕášħ is hosting a Card Creation Contest! 01:40, December 18, 2009 (UTC)

Stats and modifiability

So, AL, runes, insignias? How far is a costume combat-viable? :P --- VipermagiSig -- (contribs) (talk) 13:35, December 18, 2009 (UTC)

They are worn over your armor, so stats are not affected. They are purely cosmetic, and your armor bonuses and stuff will still be in effect exactly as if you were not wearing the costume. Festival hats now count as "costume" hats, and wearing one will not make you lose the armor benefits from your headpiece. Could you add this information please, only better worded? I'm a little tired atm. :P Ailina 13:46, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
I see. Interesting.
No, I can't. Can't figure a better way to word it, nor do I really feel like it. --- VipermagiSig -- (contribs) (talk) 14:28, December 18, 2009 (UTC)

Re White Mantle Disguise vs Robes

← Moved from User talk:Dr ishmael
Ahoy! regarding the page move from Disguise to Robes: I noticed that Disguise wasn't the correct name for the particular item when I uploaded the images. However, the name for the full set when acquiring it from Coldan is "White Mantle Disguise". So I guess the question is, are we gonna document the whole set, or the Robes and Mitre separately, or all three? I took additional screenshots of just the Robes, and also just the Mitre, because that seemed to me how it should be documented. If having a page each for the whole set, Robes, and Mitre is determined to be best, then I can have the appropriate images ready in a jiffy :) I decided to copy what was done on the Dwayna and Grenth costume pages though, and have both of them equipped for the shots. Those were a scary few edits for me, so I didn't want to get too innovative, lol! --DarkDark Morelia [Talk] 16:11, April 16, 2010 (UTC)

Well, as I haven't purchased any of the costumes myself, I'm not really aware of how they work. I was simply following what GWW did when I moved the article (+galleries+images) to White Mantle Robes.
However, given your description of how the Costume Maker (we STILL need that article written!) works, then I think we should treat each costume set in the same way we do armor sets: have a single article for the set instead of separate articles for the individual pieces. Dwayna's Diadem would thus be merged into Dwayna's Regalia, and White Mantle Robes and White Mantle Mitre would be combined to form White Mantle Disguise (likewise for Grenth and Shining Blade costumes). I'll have to update the gallery template to accommodate that, of course, but it wouldn't be too hard. —Dr Ishmael Diablo the chicken 17:57, April 16, 2010 (UTC)
No worries, no criticism intended ;). The costume guy displays available costumes, then when you click on one of these, you get the options of receiving the head piece, body piece, or "The whole set!" (head & body). I definitely agree with treating costumes as armour sets. The way they are at the moment is akin to having a separate page for each piece of armour from each set. I think a template with images of an overview, headpiece, body piece, and then dyed versions of them would be the best way to go. At least there aren't many costumes available, so not many new screenshots would need to be taken. I can do female versions of them all so far, but I have no male characters on my main account any more =\. (I'll have a look at making a costume guy article, but I'm still a wikinoob) --DarkDark Morelia [Talk] 18:40, April 16, 2010 (UTC)
I've performed the merge for Dwayna's Regalia. There's probably a better way to describe the set, so I'll let people have a go at that for a day or so before merging the other costumes. —Dr Ishmael Diablo the chicken 16:30, April 18, 2010 (UTC)

NPC reaction?

Just wondering if anyone has worn these disguises into the Shining Blade camp in Talmark Wilderness or the the Peacekeepers in Nebo. If so, did the NPC's react diferently to each disguise? 98.220.126.134 16:05, April 18, 2010 (UTC)

Didn't seem to make a difference when I paraded the WM suit right into the SB camp. RoseOfKali RoseOfKaliSIG 17:18, April 18, 2010 (UTC)
I figured as much. Would have been alot more fun if they would have had friendly or hostile reactions depending on what side you were dressed as. Guess I won't be buying. 98.220.126.134 17:27, April 18, 2010 (UTC)
