Flight Rising Discussion

I was wondering what apparel items are closest to Ancient Greek and Roman clothing or armor?

Right off the top of my head, I can think of the harvest apparel sets, but I was wondering whether there were any other sets that resembled that type of attire...

Peace Dove, the Wreaths, and maybe even River Royalist Tail Rings
that's the best I can think of

The harvest apparel sets work pretty well when used in the right context

[quote name="Winterwald" date="2021-10-17 11:12:42" ] The winged sandals are a bit of a reach but they could work [/quote] Oh, I forgot about those; I guess the winged helmet and sandals may be an allusion to the greek deity Hermes...

The gladiator apparel is a bit Roman, like [item=Ferocious Lion] There's also [item=Current Caller Raiment] and some of the Warrior's Way apparel.

[center][img]http://i.imgur.com/5nh4hvn.png[/img] Ah! A couple of years ago, I had a Greco-Roman lair theme, so I had to consider this question as well. I'm seconding the Harvest apparel, the Current Caller Raiment, the wreaths, and the winged sandals. I can see the gladiator apparel working in specific contexts. [i]My[/i] go-to apparel was the sylvan sets, particularly the Silver Sylvan set; paired with the Peacebringer's Mantle, I felt it emulated the look of a toga decently enough for my purposes.[/center]

UHHHH, okay lemme- (I'll add more as I edit) [LIST] [*]definitely the Harvest apparel, that's the closest we've gotten to any Ancient Greek apparel, primarily because the Staff appears to have used my concept art for the set and mine was based entirely on Hellenistic clothes [item=dark harvest celebration][item=copper harvest celebration][item=autumn harvest celebration][item=hazel harvest celebration][item=golden harvest celebration] [*]Peace Dove for philosophers, scholars, magisters and sculptors [item=peace dove] [*]wreaths for the champions, warriors and scholars [item=green olive wreath][item=autumnal wreath][item=umbral wreath] [*]if used properly, you can combine the Eastern helmets with some other things (specific species), to create this sort of effect, as well as include the breastplates to simulate the big, chonky breastplates Roman generals had. You can play around with the shoulder plates too.

You can also use the broadsword, weapons and quivers [item=traditional broadsword][item=ranger's quiver][item=deadeye's quiver][item=scout's quiver][item=iron shield][item=steel shield][item=gold shield] [*]all sorts of Scale apparel, that stuff is a godssend [item=heraldic scale trunk][item=ivory scale trunk][item=regal scale trunk][item=brass scale trunk][item=weathered tail tatters][item=weathered scale gorget][item=weathered scale tassets][item=weathered scale cuirass][item=weathered scale greaves][item=weathered scale bracers] [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/dressing-room/scry?sdid=1033045&skin=20472&apparel=272,6705,2317,3697,1552,8595,29802,29801,26536,29223,26888,32973,12267,32983,26890,26539,26887&xt=dressing.png[/img] [*]ghoulish tassets and armets can also be used as apparel for gladiators [item=tar-trap armet][item=tar-trap tasset][item=fiendflesh armet][item=fiendflesh tasset] [*]mantles can also be great additional apparel pieces [item=red mantle][item=burlap mantle][item=peacebringer's mantle][item=mysterious mantle][item=whisperer's mantle] [*]don't forget the headbands and lockets! Headbands, although different than what they look on FR, were used in Ancient Greece and they were called taeniae (plural; tainia in singular) and you can make them look really good on some dragon poses. Romans on the other hand made bullae which were amulets and could sometimes look like lockets. There were some lockets too, I believe [item=woodland headband][item=peacekeeping headband][item=kelly green locket][item=dusty pauper locket][item=glamorous scarlet locket][item=sociable striped locket] [*]Phantasmal halfmask to simulate the Greek theatrical masks but only maybe, it might be a stretch [item=phantasmal halfmask] [*]Sylvan stuff for maybe some of the Greek gods or to simulate a tunic [item=silver sylvan dress][item=ember sylvan dress][item=grove sylvan dress] [*]arm and legwarps as fur for decked up soldiers [item=raider's fur armwraps][item=raider's fur legwraps][item=pillager's fur armwraps][item=pillager's fur legwraps] [*]rings as minor jewellery [item=teardrop pearl ring][item=teardrop citrine ring][item=shabby ring][item=resplendent ring][item=florid ring][/LIST] you could also technically try and incorporate some of the Filigree armor pieces.

@Natron

Thank you for the specific recommendations! (I bought things like wreathes and a peace dove, and I will check out some of the other things you mentioned)

Also, if your idea did inspire the Harvest apparel, then congrats!
