Planning ahead is essential, especially when accessories are destroyed upon removal! Thus, I have taken the liberty to mess around with Spiral Spy to try out crazy combinations to see what looks better. Now I have five choices, and I can't make up my mind, so I hope you guys can help me out. So here are my choices:
#1 - 0
#2 - 0
#3 - 0
#4 - 0
#5 - 1
Thanks in advance!
Yes, I realize that my selection of accessories are indeed rare and hard to acquire, however, that isn't what I'm concerned about.
My concern is which one of these accessory combinations I should pick, not how expensive or how hard they are going to be to get hold of. I am thinking looks, not cost efficiency here.
I think they are all good, though 5# looks best to me.
I don't really like mecha wings.
I like #1, the wing tips matching your cloak's front is pretty sweet. #5 is also a good look because the colors blend well.
I really dislike accessories that don't clip properly, so I personally wouldn't go 2, 3 or 4.
What auras are you considering, if any?
First off, I have to say that this is one of my favourite outfits so far (whether it exists or not).
In the past, I had done exactly what you have done, except with Divine and Prismatic rather than Cool/Dusky/Fancy (whichever non-Prismatic type you are using) and Prismatic - and of course a certain shade of blue and the Divine Set, rather than your purple and the Chaos Set. It took me a long while to decide, but eventually I found myself holding on to the pure-Prismatic combination. If I had one thing to say, it would be a mental excerpt from my own experience: don't worry about the rarities, the pricing, or even if your mind changes with time - if you hold on to your hope you'll eventually achieve the costume you dream of. :)
Now, putting my rambling reminiscence behind... I admire each of these 5 costumes too closely to make a definite choice (as I did with my own creations back some time ago). I suppose your "final" choice depends on two things: (1) whether or not you would like more of your purple player colour present, and (2) whether or not you would be enjoy the presence of Mecha Wings. (I'm assuming you like Mecha Wings because [I think] I've seen you in-game with them attached.) Personally I don't mind minor clipping issues (such as the hoods with Mecha Wings), especially if it might be easily explained in some "physical" sense to ease my conscience (i.e. one might say that the tips of the Mecha Wings "bend around" the hood rather than go through it). xD Though, you might call me somewhat biased here, due to the familiarity of your costumes. ;) That being said, if you really can't choose, perhaps try to fill up your Accessory slots as much as possible by going with one of #2, #3, or #4 (if cost becomes a factor here, you may want to go with #4). If you eventually find yourself liking one of these costumes better than the rest: just go for it, and don't mind what anyone else thinks!
With Culture's mention of auras: if you do go with one (and don't already have one on - it's hard to tell with screen shots), I'd have to admit that a Ghostly Aura would be most appropriate - and, coincidentally, the least expensive. (It could be your next goal!) :)
/think That's quite the long post for such a simple question...
My planned aura is indeed the Ghostly Aura, of which is actually already equipped! So there's that.
I've been asking around amongst my friends, and they all seem to be leaning towards #5, and I have to agree that it is indeed very good-looking. I might just cross out #2, #3 and #4 and decide between #1 and #5 instead. The question remains, though, is Prismatic or Dusky Wings better? I'm really not sure. Dusky blends well with the armour itself, but the Prismatic Wings reflect my personal colour and go with the halo.
I don't mind letting go of my mecha wings, because I personally think they stand out a bit much on their own on the cowl, whereas my current set-up with mecha wings and helm-mounted display has a connected feel so that they don't stand out too much. My real issue is deciding between the wings, it would seem.
I don't know how viable any of these are seeing how ultra-rare halo and wing accessories are (practically to the point of being unheard of outside of special auctions), but good luck if you can get them; they do indeed look quite nice.
