Bards Guild Uniform?

[♪Bardlord Lutemaster]

We are *ahem* still sorting things out with the Guild Tag, but it has been suggested that we should decide upon colors and an emblem for our members to sport in game to represent us as well.

Please post pics here of your Bards Guild Uniform ideas and open this up for discussion!

It's not a bad idea, the only thing is that colors could be limiting in team game modes, and a lot of armor isn't available to all players. If anything, I think it should be something small like a particular hat so that players still can have some creative freedoms in creating their bard.

[♪Bardlord Lutemaster]

Agreed, I definitely do not want to stifle some of the creativity I have been seeing with new bards coming in with whole backstories prepared! It would be fun to have a common look we could all equip for guild events though at the very least. Also many bards like to represent in duel servers where they may have a little more freedom to display their colors. :-)

I would be ok with an emblem we could all use. And the hat idea is great.

I think a full blown uniform should be set but at minimum wear the hat and emblem?

[♪Bardlord Lutemaster]

It's all moot if nobody has any input or suggestions submitted for the Bards Guild uniform in the first place though! For a bunch of BARDS this group sure is quiet...

Yes it is unfortunately. I am currently rocking the peasant hat but i am also still workin on my build. What tier armor are we looking at? I think a mid level item (in whatever tier) should be selected. When i next log in i will scroll through all the armor tiers and search for what i think will work best to represent.

It is a shame they dont have skins for the lute as that would be a great way to identify or have custom emblems for the lute. Or option to be a flag bearer, no point cost, and fly our flag (which we would have to make). I am full of ideas that help us not at all. Sorry

As far as armor goes, I think bards should be able to handle much abuse, so I always rock the full 3 armor setup. Being able to survive multiple arrow shots or stray sword slashes always comes in handy. Pair that with tenacious and the faster health regen can't hurt.

This is a good point. I havent found a tier 2 helm that i think is fitting. I am partial to the peasant hat. For torso armor i like the chainmail with tabard or the plate and tabard in tier 3.

I think everything connected to head, torso and legs is bound to fail cause it affects the build.
The purely cosmetical items should be chosen, like scarf or mantle with flashy colors, so that it would not affect the build and the item should be possible to be worn with any tier of armor.

For the full uniform i think Landsknecht is great, althought I think there should be a standard version and a budget version for people who do not have time for farming gold.

Thanks for the input, these are very good points.

I feel like Valhallebarde would be a good logo because it has a lute on it?
I also agree that we should not have a specific item to wear because it would be limiting, but a color might be cool (such as light yellow, red, or some other bright one).

We have adopted the Valhallebarde logo as ours. There was an announcement for it i believe. Feel free to wear it. We should all sport the same colour too for the logo.

Heres my bard outfit and it looks quite proper. nothing on head or neck. landscknecht vest for the torso, nothing shoulders, landsknecht arms, nothing on hands and waist, landsknecht pants and townsman shoe. try it out it looks professional
