Are there any good costume sets that use armor under 3* and look semi-decent with fairly cheap accessories? My current look is a silver bombhead mask/+cool mech-tennas and my ash-tail armor.
The ever expensive journey to look good
Here is my not that expensive, but still cool looking set. Just have to get the dapper combo which will run me ~150kcr based on the featured auction prices
Orange personal color
Mining Helmet
Dapper Combo
Ash Tail Coat
Blazebreak set actually looks pretty boss.
The Blizzbreak Armor works pretty well with the Silver and Spiral bombhead masks. I intend on getting it myself.
imo, getting a good look thats under 3* is hardish to do as most armors don't start looking cool until 4 and 5*.
Also, different accessory colors look better with certain armors and personal colors, while others just need one or the other.
Mine:
Spiral Bombhead mask + Cool mecha wings
Spiral Culet + Proto Crest
I'm 4*, and had that look since BN/accessories came out.
I just wear the Spiral Demo helm and the Spiral Cuirass that has the same colour as said helm, works really well. You could probably do a similar outfit with the Fused, Heavy and/or Volcanic Demo helms and different colors of Cuirass
If you're trying to include Accessories, they're going to be expensive, especially when compared to the cost of 2* armor and helms.
As a newblet, I liked the Cobalt Armor and Magic Hood (long before I noticed NPC's using the same look!) Those are both 2*
Icebreaker Helm and Armor are decent looking, if you like blue ^_^; Those are both 1*
If you go with the 'blue' look, there are two 3* shields to consider: Brute Jelly shield and Blizzbreaker shield, though the Blizzbreaker cannot be upgraded beyond 3*. There is also the 3* Brute Jelly Helm (would not recommend the armor 'Mail' for looks).
Brute Jelly stuff can be earned with tokens from Jelly King.
