Lillysdad Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Now that the game has actually launched, what are everyone's impressions of the clothing/armor options for consulars? Are you stuck wearing robes, or are there sufficient "pants" options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Hibbs Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I'm up to level 11 and so far I'd say I spent 60% of the time in robes, 40% in pants. I like the look of the robes/skirt-type bottoms a lot more than the pants. Way more ****** imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibashiraSakai Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 No change from beta. It was like that all the way into the 20s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloudroth Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 While I haven't started Early Access yet, I did play in the Thanksgiving Beta and tried every class. Personally, I think pants are more suited to Knights and Robes more suited to Consulars. I just hope Sages can have hoods and not just those god-awful helmets/headgear as seen in the Character Progression vid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lasica Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 If you are lucky you can get a very nice hooded robe from the first flashpoint. That one lasted me for a while in beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smore Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Also there's a custom (fully moddable) hooded robe reward coming from The Face Merchants heroic quest on Coruscant, Black Sun area. Plenty of people looking for groups to do it at any given time but you can also solo it with your companion if you want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avean Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I have taken Synthweaving as a crafting skill, and there i can create alot of light armor pants so yes But until then there is hardly any pants for you to use. Also the endgear which i looked at yesterday is really awful, but its the same for all classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armourboy Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I got one that is fully modable from the Robot quest in Coruscant and its hooded. I really like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soldre Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Now that the game has actually launched, what are everyone's impressions of the clothing/armor options for consulars? Are you stuck wearing robes, or are there sufficient "pants" options? There are very few pants options. I'm level 19 and have synthweaving, but I'm still wearing level 7 pants because there was not a single pant drop so far, and all my recipes (120 synthweaving) are for kilts/skirts. So, if you don't mind holding on upgrades for dozen levels until you manage to get some decent looking gear... I know for a fact that there are some really nice looking pants/non dresses gear at higher levels. Also, the 300+/- synthweaving cloth look amazing and I'm looking forward to it.

Nahela Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I'm quite a bit disheartened to learn that as a Twi'lek not only do you not get hooded robes, but it removes your headband if you wear one that's supposed to be hooded. :\ Tempted to actually reroll now. I just assume they would have had the Lekku wrap around front for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baddyfett Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 There's also a very nice hooded, fully mod-able robe in the Esseles from one of the bosses. Though I know everyone was talking pants/skirts. Most of the options i've seen so far are skirts but there are some pants. Find a mod-able pair and your good to go. kinda like these here. just don't ask me where to get them. i have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillysdad Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 Thanks for all the replies thus far! I finally got my early access granted and will be investigating my kilt options (do they have a wide variety of tartans?).

kevshootit Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 and there "seems" to be a difference between the "open-legged, simpler hanging cloth" look of the jedi knight robe bottoms vs the "full formal gown" look of most of the consular robes, the knight versions, to me, look very cool and still "masculine" knights also seem to have more "short skirt" kinda look from their upper body pieces that is very jedi like i wish they'd give consulars the "open-legged" hanging clothe look (and the formal gowns for those that like them) and restricts knights to "short skirts" and pants for the visual distinctiveness they are striving for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonfighter Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 The only thing that is reallay pathetic is that not a single raid loot is shadow stylish ... its all for sages .. i havent seen a single item @ the merchants on the republic fleet so i hope the fully customable robes with hood are for endgame raiding when you do the crafting -.- otherwise there is no point in playing a shadow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

defendurname Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I have found my first pair of orange pants (ie. fully moddable) at Alderran. They are on sale for the Alderran tokens (about 12 or 14 can't remember) and, unless I find a better pair, I will stick with them until end game. Finally! No more dress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slyfe Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) I have found my first pair of orange pants (ie. fully moddable) at Alderran. They are on sale for the Alderran tokens (about 12 or 14 can't remember) and, unless I find a better pair, I will stick with them until end game. Finally! No more dress 12 tokens good sir... and for those interested there's two pairs, one is kind of blackish, and one is white. Same vendor has matching customizable boots for either set of pants for only 10 tokens. I haven't really found a good looking top to go with it for tokens, I think the specialty goods vendor in Nar Shadaa has an orange top for 14k credits that could possible go well with it. Jesus this game has turned me into a girl WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF... sec turning my show helm off..... Cheers.

The full head masks (they cover hair and most of the face) for the Miralukas clips with hoods, shame as I prefer the look of the hooded robes. Just looks like a dress otherwise.

KeltikTwo Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 At lvl 30, my biggest wish is just to hide the stupid damn hats they make consulars wear ( they hide your hood so you get the full glory ). Mostly robes all the way so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverspar Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 One of the great things about the shadow is they wear light armor. This gives them a unique advantage. They can take mods from other armors they like and slot them into social gear with mod slots and actually have moddable armor look and wear what they want. Personally, plan on making a slave girl outfit like that >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnice Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 The Consular seriously needs more pants options. Almost did not play one until I found out he did not have to wear a dress. Dresses are very uncool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
