View Full Version : Where are the Knight armor pieces?

I need some help navigating the costume creation menus.

I've been trying to make a Knight-type character, but in the interface I can only find two pieces of knight armor: The chest piece and the shoulders. I have to take the rest from mismatched other types of armor, and my poor toon ends up looking like an escapee from a junkyard rummage sale.

At one point I gave up on this, but then last night I saw someone running around in a full set of matched knight armor (ornate). So where the heck are the other pieces? The only pieces I can find are in "Chest Wear"->Chest Layer and Chest Wear->Shoulder Pads

Is it perhaps a gender thing? I'm trying it w/ a female toon, but the one I saw yesterday was a male toon.

I haven't messed with female characters, but for males there's a knight armor piece in the Feet section. One of the Arm Accessory pieces is a piece of the knight armor as I recall. If you set the main dropdown for heads to Half Helmets there is a knight pattern for one of the helmets I believe, and if you set it to Full Helmets there are three Knight patterns.

The forearm pieces I'm less certain of. I think there might be a long glove knight piece, but it might also be a Bracer piece which would require setting the hands to Short Gloves to access.

I don't know whether there's a Knight-themed belt, or if instead there might be a Hip piece if you set the main dropdown for legs to Hip Wear.

There's also a Plume under Hairstyle for the Half Helmets IIRC. And any number of suitable acoutrements under Mouth, Top, and Side accessories.

For Leg Accessory, you may have to look through the patterns for some of the armor pieces, but I think there's a Knight piece in there somewhere as well.

If I have a free wakeful moment when I get home from work in a bit I'll look at females and see if I can find something specific there.

I've got a male skeletal knight (not sure if it's valid for female chars - there's been some moaning about gender differences).

I don't know whether there's a Knight-themed belt, or if instead there might be a Hip piece if you set the main dropdown for legs to Hip Wear.

It's under hip-wear, and has 'knight' in the name somewhere I think - can't remember the name of it.

For Leg Accessory, you may have to look through the patterns for some of the armor pieces, but I think there's a Knight piece in there somewhere as well.

Yep - there's a kneepad/legguard type thing, which becomes really ornate if you take that decal option.

As someone mentioned elsewhere it would be good to categorize these bits somehow - as it's not that easy to find all the relevant pieces.

The answer is that it is a female thing. See http://forums.champions-online.com/showthread.php?t=47966 . It seems that there are a ton of seemingly random costume pieces missing for female toons, including most of the knight pieces.
