MustrumRidcully Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) I am currently annoyed with the heavy armor my Jedi Knight Guardian wears. She is wearing a Robe with hood, and it looks as if the hair is removed for that to avoid clipping errors or something like that. Anyway, I don't like the looks of this at all, and am looking for something more decent to wear. What kind of options do exist there for Light Siders? She's still only Level 21 or so, but I am okay to wait, I just want to have an idea what's out there and what or where I need to look for. Maybe there are some special quests that offer soemthing cool that I missed. I don't want a chainmail bikni or the SW equivalent, Leia's slave outfit. "Bare midriff" may be okay, but mostly I want something that keeps the head and hair visible. Or am I out of luck? Mustrum "Fashion Challenged" Ridcully PS: I seem to remember there were some thread on armors or the like, but I can't find it again. Maybe I remember wrong, but if not, feel free to just point me in the right direction. Edited February 10, 2012 by MustrumRidcully
Axvil Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 I don't think I have seen any Jedi robes (past lvl 20-25) that did not have a hood.. This goes for both medium and heavy robes.. For my Sentinel, I ended up using an orange smuggler vest with the proper mods, and that worked OK for me. However, you need heavy armor, so.. I guess you're looking at orange trooper armor. Someone with high level of synthweaving might also be able to make you heavy jedi armor without a hood.
Cedia Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 FYI, there is *not one* Jedi Guardian (heavy armor) without a hood up. Please join us in demanding a fix to this favoritism, since Sith Juggernauts do not have the same problem. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=2198

In the mean-time - any head gear that removes the hood that looks good?
tufy Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) Personally, I'm using this one: http://www.torhead.com/item/6L5mA3G/aspiring-knights-vest Sure, it's a medium, but given that it's just a chest piece, it doesn't make that big of a difference unless you're defense specced. Will do. In the mean-time - any head gear that removes the hood that looks good? Just goggles. Works decently if you're a Miraluka. If you're not, then expect to have night vision gear Edited February 13, 2012 by tufy
RockysRevenge Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Mustrum, always a pleasure, haven't seen you since I quit STO a while back. I've been getting into Discworld too . On related topic though, I'm having the same problem. I've considered getting a medium chest piece but I'm defense specced, so I don't want to gimp myself. There are several nice sets of trooper armor I've been looking into, but many times the trooper armor requires having a trooper in the group for it to drop from flashpoints and you're completely out of luck if its a mission reward. Until they make a hood toggle, these options will have to suffice.
Finndali Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Or am I out of luck? Yep. Its quite funny too, Jedi Knights complain that they have no "hood down" robes, while the Sith Warriors complain that none of their robes have the hood up...
PhoR Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 FYI, there is *not one* Jedi Guardian (heavy armor) without a hood up. I don't think that's true, is it? I had a blue quality heavy armor robe for a while with the hood down, and there are several orange heavy armors that don't have a hood at all.
NaimiIflya Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 I was glad when I found this Headgear in my 30s, I found Modable Versions of it on the Comm Vendor on Hoth. (They is a red version and a silver version).
Alterin Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Will do. In the mean-time - any head gear that removes the hood that looks good? I don't have mine anymore... But there are plenty of orange visors that'll remove the hood. They aren't the best looking, but they aren't bad at least.
clearsighted Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 I was glad when I found this Headgear in my 30s, I found Modable Versions of it on the Comm Vendor on Hoth. (They is a red version and a silver version). I guess that's okay if you want to look like the black guy from Star Trek...
Polebreaker Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Visor or sunglasses or eyepatches are your only options to remove the hood at this point on any heavy armour outside of top end pvp stuff (dunno bout the pve equivalents.) Of course, the top end pvp stuff looks just a different kind of horrible...
JediKamo Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) The only hood down orange robe I've seen is medium armor, the "Aspiring Knight Vest." My Guardian uses a variant of trooper armor (sorry I can't recall the name), which unfortunately has a backpack/antenna in the back. Edited February 19, 2012 by JediKamo
