Yes, it's working on Vulak... armor is kinda meh tho
Spride is trying to be nice. This stuff looks like shit. Here's an example:
What race is this toon? What gender? (Answers: Half Elf, female)
Some things that make this whole thing stupid:
1) Dyes don't work with it
2) There are no robes available (sorry casters, you'll have to accept the burlap sack look)
3) ALL of the helms look like shit
4) Try to mix and match it with existing armor and you look like a character out of Mega Man
5) Go look at how much the raid pieces cost. Same shitty look only at a cost of 800 fiats/240 coins/120 chits per piece.
Look here.
Elidroth says that purchasing it with raid currency is only supposed to be an alternative means of acquiring it. Look at the third post in that thread. That's the question that popped into my mind when I read Elidroth's post.
I bought it on the account I have that's practically swimming in SC with nothing to spend it on (since SOE won't smarten up and sell merc skins). I had hoped they'd be somewhat intelligent and throw stuff like the Velious helms in the marketplace but obviously, that isn't the case.
