Reorganisation
I am trying to reorganise the armor information pages to make each page unique and useful. I moved the section on maximum basic armor stats to basic armor and the section on special event headgear to headgear. I replaced these sections with links to those pages (as placeholders). If there are no comments in the next few days, I will delete the placeholders. The reorganisation will include: Any comments are welcome. Thanks. --Glynnis  17:10, 25 January 2007 (CST)
 * Armor
 * Armor types
 * Armor (rating)
 * Basic armor
 * Headgear


 * I want to replace the bullets in the table with links to the quick references using the star icon. The star is so pretty and isn't used officially for anything.  See my attempt below.  I created a new temple to do this (Template:Navimg). Please tell me if it's too confusing or ugly.

 * Does anyone have any advice on formatting? I don't like the borders inside the the "By Profession" column but I don't know how to remove them.  :( --Glynnis   16:08, 29 January 2007 (CST)

Change the armor pictures
Since the update I can't remember when, armor is now default dyed gray, I think that all of the pictures should be changed for the undyed and component form pictures. Edlittle 10:04, 18 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Already been talk about at GuildWiki talk:Style and formatting/Armor. And since Guildwars wiki will have the render from Anet, most contributer to the gallery just left the project.  This much effort just to have it replace didn't seem like a good idea.&mdash; ├ A ratak ┤  18:42, 18 March 2007 (CDT)

Just A Random Request
Can any one put together a program that lets you mix and match different looking armor for each class so you can see what different looks there are for your char. I would like to be able to see before I bought them. If any one thinks they can I would help anyway I can I just think some different pieces together look good but then when I do it it doesn't always look quiet right.
 * Create a PVP only character. You can create, dye, mix and match any type of armor that you want, as much as you want - and all at no cost.--Ninjatek 10:04, 29 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Too bad it only works for the cheap armor. -- Gordon Ecker 17:42, 29 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Although, it would be neat if there were a method of "unlocking" the prestige armour sets for PvP by meeting requirements in PvE. --Valentein 10:17, 25 May 2007 (CDT)
 * There is a way to do that now, with the tournaments, when you get enough Tournament Reward Points you can unlock armors and weapons for PvP characters. More info here. -- MiniKold 16:49, 6 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Except he was talking about unlocking through PvE. --Fyren 17:24, 6 June 2007 (CDT)

Appearance versus functionality
Is this no longer needed and pointless?
 * Yes. Working to update article now. --BlueNovember 10:33, 25 May 2007 (CDT)

Hey, didn't different types of armor use to have different bonuses?
