I wore full valkyrie or my recon ranger outfit, and no one ever priased me for been original... I feel sad now. I don't have a single piece of wolver gear in my arsenal coz of how mainstream they are. However I may wanna have a solver coat for some freeze piercing protection. Wolver lines are good, but they are definately overrated.

I'm just rather sad that I only ever really see wolvers and shades of gray. I love when knights wear vibrant, friendly colors, and the closest I usually get is a chaos set with prismatic accessories. I love what Whimsicality has done with their dragon scale mail and crown of the fallen - it's an example of a nice looking set with gray in its palette. Heck, Mawashimono's fashion thread is full of vibrant and dull outfits alike!

I feel if players tried to specialize in items much like how the hall of heroes knights do, we would have much more balance to the game, and a more diverse armor appearance too! Shame most knights favor offense over defense, as defense armors look amazing.

My set is glowing blue mixed with grey, using Arcane Salamander and a Mantle of Sight. It looks lively without being obnoxious.

As for the whole "SK is overrun by furries" silliness, I'm pretty sure it's because people like the sword bonus, then pick Vog over the other options because it gives defenses perfect for FSC- and because fire defense is just so nice to have. The appearance is just more incentive, but probably not the most prominent one.

Slight increase? What am I reading?

By the way, if you have a problem with Wolf ears, STOP INSPECTING PEOPLE! Most people have their wolver hidden away behind a costume, its your own fault if you're looking at it (PvP aside, but I don't think this is about PvP).

"(And expecting a lot of hate comments from this.)"

You're funny.

The only thing wolver related I have is my wolver tail.

Costume wise, I'm rockin a merc helm (not demo) with skelly suit(2*), military canteen, prism wolver tail, and a military vitakit.

As for armor...Am I the only one who still uses shadowsun/nameless?

*scratches head* I don't really understand why it's "the noobiest way to get attack bonuses" though, you could easily say that about any armor set with the stats you desire. Wanting shock and fire on Gray Feather is the noobiest way to want those resistances, wanting gun damage on Shadowsun is the noobiest way to want gun damage....and so on. It's just a sword oriented user getting the best for their class, nothing wrong with that.

Anyway, It looks pretty cool, that's why it ends up overused, side being a solid armor set line. Now I don't care too much about it as a costume, I personally rock Volcanic Demo Helm and Blazebreaker Armor. Some people can actually make Skolver coat (picked Skolver as an example cause nearly everyone has seen people accessorize this) look really well with something like, a Magic Hood, a friend of mine uses that and it looks really pretty. The Skolver cap just looks pretty awful when you put it on anything else unless you put on a candy or holly scarf to over up the bottom part of it to use on something else divine as with all the other line caps, except they can't use that scarf. Thus, you have people wearing full Ash, Vog, ect. Creative? No, but it makes sense somewhat when you like wolves but can't exactly move the helmet to other armors cause they usually look poor.

As for the weird accessories they put on it, I can't help but cry a little when someone puts vertical vents and mohawks of any type on them. Some toupees actually look really nice on wolver helms, like shadow Toupee on Snarbolax, I personally use that. They just have to match the theme perfectly to look good.

Less wolvers would be nice though, it really isn't hard to grab a different costume, accessorizing it is the real challenge.

I only really hate Wolver Caps and the details around the collar of the coat.

Ash Tail Coat in particular is my favorite and it works so nice with so many things, especially if you're like me with a military-green personal color. My own look is a Heavenly Iron Helm with an Ash Tail coat. On special events, I pull out my Dread Skelly Helm. You can also throw on a Fused Demo Helm, or an Elemental Hood, or even a green Chapeau if you got one.

You can have all the Bonuses you want.
There are Costume Armours to wear over the top, so the bonus point is over-ruled.

Then again, Ive never heard anyone complain about originality In-game,
or comment for people being original themselves.

Ive been roaming with my Spiral Demo Helm (with the Trims), and Radiant Silvermail.
Not a word from anyone.

the wolver set is the start of the line to getting snarby gear. alot of people want snarb gear. hence, you will see alot of wolver and ashtail stuff.

To be fair, there isn't much to put on your back at the moment anyway besides heavily out putted wings and tails. Vitakits look weird on the coats. Sideblades I think are the only alternative.

Actually, I don't understand the hate of wolver line in particular. Yes, it's overused and it's tiresome to see, but that doesn't mean it's ugly, I mean, how can you hate the coats? They're so flexible to use with so many helmets and they're actually one of the better looking armor pieces. I feel the hate from this thread particularly comes from it just being mainstream. If you get tired of it being seen...well not much that can be done if someone elses like it. Those who use it can just cover it up.

I don't wear a full wolver set. In fact, I don't always wear wolver gear or costumes. I usually wear my recruit helmet as a costume and whatever I have as armor or my recruit jacket, to show my identity as not another wolver. Although normally I go around haven in recruit helm and ash tail coat, but that's only because I wear a jacket all the time irl.

This is why I mostly wear a Azure Guardian Armor with Frosty Bomb Bandolier and a Wyvern Scale Helm with Regal Game Face my main go to costume.

I also try other costume setups too but I like my main setup too much. XD

To be seerus/serious there are too much people wearing full wolver lines as costumes mostly Skolver set. Try combining other armors and helms as costumes and find the best accessory's that is right for you, wolver lines is not the only sets in the game. >_<

@OP

You wanna go punk? DO YOU WANNA GO? Too late! I'm bringing the fury!

THE WOLVER LINE IS... just good... No reasons... It's just good.

I see your issue, OP. I find most Havens boring because so many people have Wolver stuff as costumes. The only Wolver thing I used as a costume was a Dusker Coat with a Mewkat, Heavy Dragon Wings and a Love Aura, with a Mad Bomber Mask with Heavy Mecha Wings, Glasses and a Candy Scarf. I rarely use that now because I got tired of Wolver stuff :I

Right now, though, I have a bunch of costumes I like to use: Perfect Mask of Seerus + Almirian Armour with Haunted Aura; Arcane Salamander set with Fancy Long Feather, Dusky Valk Wings and Canteen and Haunted Aura; Grey Feather Mantle with that Mad Bomber Mask I mentioned earlier or with a Humbug Hat; Ignition armour with Forever Love Puppy Mask (Bonus points for Sad Love Puppy?); Chaos Set is pretty nice by itself too (yes, I put Vents on the helm. But I am a furry, so deal with it! :p I'm even planning on getting a Wolver Tail for it when I have the patience to grind the CE); Chaos Cloak with the Authentic Spookat Mask; Fencing Jacket with the Prismatic Frosted Helm; Mercurial Demo Suit with Heavy Stranger Hat; Heavenly Guardian Armour with Valkirian Helm; Blazebreak Armour with Humbug Hat or Shogun Helm (I admit, the Shogun helm one looks a bit silly xD)...

I've also noticed that the Angelic Raiment looks rather nice with the Fractured Mask of Seerus and even with the Kat Eye Mask (The 4 star Kat helm that gives ASI Low for guns).

There's tons of other combos to make with all kinds of gear. Sure, I listed mostly 5 star stuff but there's lots of cheaper options (By that I mean costumes with 0 to 3 star stuff). Most people are just too lazy to play around with that, or just don't care about how they look :p

Yes, I spent time getting those pics to show people that they can make decent costumes that don't need to be just Wolver lines!

Three of the first Threads are Annilation's threads.

Wolver coats look good. Wolver caps are probably the worst looking hats in the game, except for the Snarbolax Cap.

If I was a swordsman, I would probably use a Stranger Hat or a Gunslinger Hat with my coat (I was called a "p.mp*" with the latter and "mushroom" with the former, for the record.).

*: Not sure if this word is allowed.

Yellow, Red, Grey, White and black surely make the game colorful and they come with dmg bonus, very nice indeed.
But I do agree that people are too obsess with wolver lines.
I hate everyone when they IGNORE THE THEME , die and BEG FOR SPARKS AS THEY CLAM THEY HAVE NONE .

Seriously wear wolver in Compound 42 and with no decent skill, why are ya here then... go home and grab scale armor boys

@Hero-Of-Cheese

I think the point isn't about people wearing Wolver stuff to fight. That -is- the logical thing to do when you're starting out because most people focus on swords during the first months of playing the game (At least it was before the Chaos set got rebuffed to universal Med Damage and CTR). What's annoying about it is that people end up using the wolver sets as costumes too so the Havens get full of Wolvers, Duskers, Ash Tails, Vogs, Skolvers and Snarbolaxes and that ends up making others "sick" of seeing those armours after a time.

It's not even that hard or expensive to get some armours for costumes if you're running around with 5 star stuff: the Breaker sets are cheap to craft, especially if you save up the orbs from doing the T1 and T2 missions, you get the Fencing Jacket as a mission reward and then can combine it with a Fractured Mask of Seerus or with a Prismatic Frosted Helm, heck, you can even go and make costumes out of Hallow or Frosty stuff, which is super easy to get during the Punkin King and Winterfest events and are (mostly) rather cheap during the rest of the year...

Given, I do enjoy being the only one wearing a Grey Feather Mantle and a Humbug hat in a super crowded Haven... :p
