It would be great if the anklets could be made with both silver and gold. I know I would prefer the emerald anklet in silver.

I meant to type silver in the requirements but somehow wrote gold instead. It would be good to have one with gold as well but even one item is better than none.

All of it, love it. More options is always a good thing. The anklets are good, too. I haven't really seen too many out there. I've been thinking about suggesting easier/more primitive versions.

But good ideas!

True, but why have one when we can have two? :wink:
And those coin belts are a step in the right direction for my char's belly dancing costume. :)

Voted for all, with special emphasis on the gold coin belt. I've been browsing the wiki coming up with ideas for a character's future outfit, and there's really a surprising lack of variety in gold jewelry compared to some of the other stuff out there.

Also Seko as long as I'm here can I borrow your thread to put in a request for...well let's call it a 'large gold paneled necklace'?

Image

Something sort of like this, possibly in plain and ornate varieties? I keep picturing this character with a sort of Egyptian look, and the hammered gold necklace just doesn't quite cut it.

Large gold paneled necklace:
A heavy-looking necklace of large, flat squares of gold linked by short chains.

Ornate large paneled necklace:
Large, flat panels of gold have been engraved with intricate designs and linked together with short chains.

Or something like that? The difference being that the second one requires a soldering iron and an extra day to make.


I also like seeing different kinds of beads incorporated into jewelry, even if you're still just using wood and turquoise by the gram. I've actually been toying with the idea of starting a thread asking about getting more variety there...we have glass and clay beads to decorate clothes with, why not wood or bone or various metals?

Looks very angular. I don't think it would look like much without the pattern, so I don't think a plain version would be necessary.

Well it doesn't have to look exactly like that, it's just one of the first things that popped up in an image search. For the plain one I was thinking again of something more like one of those huge Egyptian necklaces.

It's always good to find a picture so awesome that it almost gives people a nose bleed.

Here's one I found searching for Egyptian necklace:

Wow, that one is nice.

But here, I managed to find one a little more like what I had in mind:

Image


Or this thing here that Rameses is wearing, though that's less of a necklace and more of a...collar, I guess? Actually I'm not really sure what to call this one...

Absolute genius! But since belts are not supposed to do anything but hold up your pants, I don't think its gonna be implemented. Sorry. But the necklaces and such might. oh and that thigh high wedding anklet that brides wear would be good too.

As we constantly seem to be telling you that such and such already exists in the game... Once again, there are belts in the game and this suggestion is for further varieties. There are several items in the game that are not purely purpose-built.

I really do want the anklets!!!

Since everything has 20 votes or more, I'm moving this to accepted. Bear in mind, though that there are several topics that haven't been implemented yet.

I know there are belts in the game. I was merely suggesting that it is unlikely to find ones that don't do belt things, implemented. Not impossible, just find it unlikely. And no, I was not aware about the clothes not purpse-built. My bad.
