10k rems for a gold spray paint job on an already existing model.  Nice.  Might be fun for a robe wearer, just to freak some peeps out a bit.  And I guess you can throw the winter event +10 cold/fire resists on them?  But damn...  I've bought a couple of the combat boost tomes, a mysterious cloak, and a flask of FOM.  I'm getting close to things to spend them on with my main that actually mean something.  Good thing they are BTA.
  

No, let me be Frank.

Ah its a good dupe testing.

If these cosmetics start showing up in huge numbers, then dupe is most likely back.

The most broken epic PL in the game is the ridiculous AC buff from martial PLs. But when you include all the inherent benefits from reincarnation, the thing is above the roof. The benefit from TR was supposed to be minimal, but now it is game breaking. start a new character and you will feel, you will get raped in heroics.

Personally I think lower heroics on new characters are harder than Legendary Elite content on a character with good gear and has all destinies farmed.

Wow.

Have you EVER gone to Law School Feyn? Have you EVER been asked by a United States Senator who is now the Vice President of the United States to write a paper just for him on a particular topic of Constitutional Law for his use as a Senator? Have you ever been asked to help a very notable Harvard PhD turned Constitutional scholar with his very-well received book on Legal Philosophy and Constitutional Revolutions? Have you ever been offered a job as a Deputy Attorney General BEFORE you even graduated Law School?

No? Then STFU you fucking amateur.

Anyone tried the armor on a WF? I know it says excluded but maybe they fucked up like with the Shadowfell Regalia and the Traveler's Outfit? Smiley

Looks great, but at 10k a pop, I'll pass.  I'd rather have MP/RP/USP/PRR/MR tomes.

I'd really love to see them put more useful things or make the cosmetics way cheaper. I'd totally drop 1,000 rems on that, but 10,000? There's no better way to announce to the world "I don't know how to spend my rems properly!"

I'd agree.  I'd even consider it at 2k or 3k.  But 10k is nuts.

Or if rems just dropped by the hundreds instead of by the tens Tongue if you just casually picked up 20k over the course of a life, sure. As is? Way too many better choices Tongue

Well, blowing 10k rems on that thing beats buying mrr tomes for your lesser played toons lol.
The heck you gonna spend those on anyway ?
You get melee, ranged or spellpower, prr tomes for your "mains", cloak or two then the things just rot in your bank.

Either way, cosmetic loses its appeal the second everybody else gets it.

Getting 1 of Melee, Ranged, and SP ( and I can think of a few builds that would want 2 of 3 but whatever)
And PRR
And MRR
is 22,500  Per character.

Say 2 characters - That's 45k.

Two cloaks - 16k.

Total bill:  61k.

Throw in an eternal flask for each - 81k.

I'd rather have all of that than a cosmetic.  No matter how bad ass it looks.

I've pulled around 34k remnants in the last 12-14 months.  (Granted, I don't go out of my way to farm them.)  So, I'd say that, yeah, in another year or two, I might be interested in handing over 10k on some cosmetics.

YMMV.

"Helm showing up" is another 10k Remnants.

So they take existing items, change the color and that costs 10k remnants.
Surely not!

I dont know man. Melee and Ranged power i get it.
But 2 spellpower ?
Is it really make difference to have 502 spellpower instead of 500 ?
The spellpower books should be atleast +5/+10 to make sense.

It works on those "every little bit" kind of builds.

Also, think how awesome that is in early heroics? having 7 spell power instead of 5?

I agree totally.  The SP one is bit meh.  So is the PRR and MRR, honestly.  Those should be +4.  The SP should be +8.

Having 7 spellpower instead of 5 ... you mean on lvl 1 ? To have your magic missile do 4 damage (4 x 1,07 round down) isntead of 4 damage (4 x 1,05 roudn down) ? Cheesy

but let's imagine this perfectly plausible scenario: you're wielding a +1 Potency 20 Scepter, granting you 23 spell power (including spellcasting implement bonus). Suddenly, +2 spell power is awesome, your missile hits for 5 damage instead of 4, giving you raw +25% damage!
