Everquest Old Cultural

Anyone Still Using or Making the Old Cultural?

Ages ago, I hunted down the one Dark Elf smith on my server known for making the old cultural armors. This was slightly after their time, when you didn't want them for the stats (and some will argue you never did) so the supply had dried up. I wanted the look  --Dark Elf casters in chain is pretty neat after all. Since the combines used blue diamonds this was not a cheap thing (and trivials were high for the era).

Not every race/deity combo got armor of this cultural vintage (I think half elves may have been fully left out) and some cultural could be used by other races, and some was very specific. Depending on what class/race/deity you were you may of had some options. I can't link a picture of this... as it doesn't look like any of the caster chain tunics for Dark Elves have ever had images submitted. So here's a Barbarian in Helanic Tundra:

If you look up an item such as "Imbued Emerald" here, you will get a long list of such cultural armors. There's also some cultural weapons (like the Tunare and Karana bows that are unbelievably better than other bows you see in Luclin era baz on a progression server... at least on a regular basis). Here's one example:

What we could use here at Allakhazam is modern pictures of people wearing this armor, as well as the modern item window shot. In many cases we need proof that the combines still work, and verification of when they are active on progression servers.

Hehe, the Koada'Dal Falchion of Tunare! I searched around to have someone craft one of these for my main, WAY back in the day. I don't even remember why I thought it was so desirable, LOL.

If I still have it in the bank, I'll take it out and take a few pics.

I have been wanting to make as much of the older cultural armor for a VERY long time. I (Bofor) am a human on Cazic-Thule and can make more of it than probably any other race. I'm only limited by the number of characters I have. Well, I'm also limited by the un-availability of imbued gems. When I check the bazaar, only lately have I seen imbued emeralds and plains pebbles, due to their being used in the Solstice Earring quest which people are revisiting. Those are going for over 1Kpp per gem currently in the bazaar. I've also sent some tells to some clerics around PoK and the Lobby, but they haven't been that helpful.

I wish I would have taken pics for uploading. I've been keeping a spreadsheet of the sets that I have made (Human, Dwarf and Barbarian), and here is a small list of smithed sets:

Dwarven Chain; Dwarven Plate; Enchanted Dwarven Plate; Enchanted Imbued (Brell) Dwarven Plate; Imbued (Brell) Dwarven Chain; Imbued (Bristlebane) Dwarven Chain; Imbued (Brell) Dwarven Plate

Imbued (Tribunal) Northman Ring; Northman Ring; Artificer's Ringmail; Black Lace-Boned;

Seafarer Ring; Field Plate; Imbued (Karana) Field Plate; Imbued (Mithaniel) Field Plate; Silver Full Plate; Electrum Full Plate; Gold Full Plate; Platinum Full Plate; Imbued (Rallos) Field Plate; Imbued (Erolissi) Field Plate; Imbued (Rodcet) Field Plate; Imbued (Innoruuk) Field Plate; Salubrious Heraldic; Radiant Heraldic; Fine Heraldic; Fine Seafarer's Chain; Hateful Heraldic; Enchanted (Silver) Full Plate;

I've also tailored some Erudite:
Steelsilk; Imbued (Cazic) Steelsilk; Fulvous (Cazic) Woven; Fulvous (Cazic) Steelweave

it would be fantastic if they would add the ability to combine any full set of armor into one piece like the ornament armor. and it would also be fantastic if the item used to do this was not one time use. i would pay real money for that!

By "this armor" do you mean any cultural armor or just the Dark Elf caster stuff you mentioned up top?

Some of it (like the Barbarian) we have shots of, though not in the old models...

Basically we probably need most of it.

If it is a weapon, we probably need a pic of someone wielding it too (back in the day it was more regular for users to submit full armor set pictures).
