Extras! - Non Standard Armour Set Items
Since there were some returning and some new ones recently, let’s talk about sets of items that go on Non Standard Armours.
We’ve already gone over Non Standard Armors but they aren’t always super obvious to spot. A slight alteration of the head shape or size, a reposition on the arm, making the knees bend the other way, being a skeleton … these are all examples of non standard.
When these pieces are made, the accessories that come with them are designed to fit on them, and probably won’t fit on the standard template. This is why you get things like Face of Conquest helm, which doesn’t cover the whole face on a standard armour. This isn’t something that can be fixed because it isn’t broken. Not all items are designed to be worn with everything. And if we resize it or change the shape of it or reposition it, then it no longer fits with the set it was meant to go with.
So in short, if it fits with the set the artist sent in, it isn’t a bug. It’s an easter egg!
