Keeping things simple while making medium armor look good.

What’s in the box:

• Prowler Mask (from the 300-350 leatherworker crafted set), with Antique Gold on the crown and other colors to match hair. I believe it’s either Mahogany or Deep Maple to match the hair, and another similar brown for the spikes.
• Shoulders hidden, because they just get in the way.
• Noble Coat, with Forgiveness on the main coat part, Green Tint on the waistcoat, and Frosting on the lapels.
• Radiant gloves, being white and simple.
• Heritage Legguards, in Green Tint.
• Prowler Boots, in Forgiveness (main boot), Green Tint, and Frosting (buckles in back)

It’s rather easy to swap out the general color scheme, but I went with this because, as a guildmate said, I “look like a colonial-era writing desk.” Forgiveness and Green Tint are absolute steals for the colors you can get out of them. I’ve noticed a general dislike for most medium coats (and other medium armor as well) by a lot of people (“yet another brown trenchcoat”) but the Noble set takes dyes really well. Grape dye on the Noble coat produces a purple that any mesmer would kill for.

Butterscotch isn’t bad either, and makes a nice gold on the crown. Beware of side effects.

With a Mystic Pistol and Pearl Shield to fill things out, although you’d hardly see me with them in the field, normally spamming grenades. Sometimes also seen with the Sclerite Karka Shell, currently not equipped due to stats.
