He (me) is wearing a bracelet, a brooch, a ring, a bracelet, trousers, a shirt, a scarf, a cloak, a pair of sandals, and a pair of gloves. (Names edited to simplification. Underwear not included)

You are a bit under-dressed, and reasonably full.

So, what does it take to be fully dressed? I mean... I would think that being under-dressed is... only pants and shirt, few rings... or just pants and shoes and no shirt... and being 'dressed' would at minimum be something to cover your bottom, top, feet, and underwear. I always just found this odd/annoying, because no matter how much I try to dress my character he's always under-dressed or scantily clad mellow.gif Actually I know that to be fully-dressed I'd have to don a few more shineys and whatnot, but is that really necessary to become 'dressed'? Anyway, was wondering if this might have been over-looked or some kind of small error and wanted to hear what other people think.

I have only pants, a coat, a skullcap, and a pack. I'm well-dressed.

Hmm I think something really is wrong with the picture here...
Rashidat2005-09-16 21:29:27
The weather doesn't change a whole lot. A lot people walk around nude without getting the slightest bit cold. Shouldn't it be possible to be over-dressed?
Shamarah2005-09-16 21:34:19
That's your splendor rating, Hazar, not your clothing rating.

You are scantily-clad, and feeling a bit peckish.

That's what we're talking about.

And I agree that it's stupid.

Hazar2005-09-16 21:37:26
Ah.

"You are dressed warmly" smile.gif

EDIT: They should re-enable the weather effects that Achaea had way back about six years ago when I started. Nothing like walking through a blizzard while underdressed and having to cure shivering all the time biggrin.gif .

Warriors will be better dressed than everyone else because weathering affects how well your dressed. It can take you from essentially naked to dressed normally.

Talk about a contradiction of terms . . .

You are a bit under-dressed, and utterly satiated.

From the clothing that can be seen, you look well-to-do.


heh, I'm under-dressed yet I still look well-to-do?

Does it have anything to do with the smart cloak that Lady Kaileigh fabricated?

He is wearing a set of flowing smoke grey robes, and a sleek wave-embroidered sea blue cloak.

You are wearing:
4 rose drop earrings, a ravenwood stud, a pearl and sapphire tiara, a platinum
anklet with dangling ruby hearts, a golden compass, midnight robes of
form-fitting silk
, a moondance bracelet, 2 gold and platinum wedding bands, a
crimson mask adorned with black runes, a cloak of crow feathers, a pearl
necklace with a dangling seashell, a silver torc, a lavender-embroidered, cream
leather pack
.

Bolded are the only actual clothing items.

You are a bit under-dressed, and feeling a bit peckish.
From the clothing that can be seen, you look opulent.
Unknown2005-09-17 01:56:51
Hmm, you're pack shows up in your description Bau?
Mine does not . . . *frown*

insert *a soft, crystal blue leather pack*

yes - also made by Lady Kaileigh and goes well with her cloak I might add!!!

Likewise I don't get how I'm only a bit under-dressed... although, I suppose the fact that trying to wear a shirt or pants with greatrobes is impossible could have something to do with it.

The shirt I can sort of understand, but not being able to at least wear pants kinda makes me feel indecent. blush.gif
Goyel2005-09-17 02:44:36
Are you wearing it? Or just holding it?
