Talk:Warrior Elite Charr Hide armor

Absorption
So if regular ascalon armor provides -1 damage from absorption/reduction and knights armor provides -2 damage reduction, what does the spikey 15k ascalon armor provide (-1 or -2)?

If it is only -1 then it would seem that the cheaper knights armor is actually better then the 15k ascalon, which doesnt seem right.

And why is there a difference? I would assume that all the absorption armors would all be the same, either -1 or -2. Can anyone help here?

 * What? You want me to buy 60k armor just to check??!! :) --Karlos 17:56, 27 October 2005 (EST)


 * You'd only have to buy one piece. --Fyren 18:49, 27 October 2005 (EST)

Both Ascalon and Knight provide -1 before Droknar's Forge. For Droknar, both provide -2. Ascalon 15k and Fissure are also -2. -PanSola 07:38, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Appearance
Is there a difference in appearance between the 15k helm to the regular armor helm?
 * The screen shot looks different to me, so I'd say yes. -PanSola 23:03, 4 January 2006 (UTC)]
 * Yeh, I have both, 15k is yellow with black eyes, 1.5 is red with yellow eyes (eyes mightbe different) 07:04, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Color isn't hte only difference is it? o_O""" Some armor are known to be pre-dyed (dye remover gives it completely diff color, not just bleached look of original color)  I'd think different 3D mesh is needed to count it as a real different look.-PanSola 07:33, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
 * 15k ascalon helm does look quite different from the normal one. It actually looks like a different type of animal skull, but most obvious are the horns: 15k horns are not as curvy as those on the regular helm. -- Ledrug 02:58, 9 June 2006 (CDT)

Since it hasnt already been said, Look at the red parts on the 1.5k and cheaper Ascalon Armor, then look at the yellow parts on the 15k Ascalon Armor. the 1.5k and cheaper pieces have a more Leather-ish look, while the 15k pieces have a Metal plate look. As for the difference of the horns, on 15k the horns start closer to the center of the helmet than 1.5k and cheaper. But on both sets, they end at the same point, because of this, the horns on 15k have a more noticeable change when dyed. Raisu 14:24, 28 October 2006 (CDT)
