I was curious to learn more about the variations of the different armor pieces as they were built to higher levels, and while doing a bunch of crafting I figured I might as well put together a dynamic screenshot gallery of the different pieces for easy side-by-side comparison.
The beginning work is here if you're interested:
http://www.pathfinderonlinehq.com/items/armor-gallery
My goal is to eventually have screenshots of every piece of armor and their level variations.
Difficulty level - I need samples of the armors so I can take screenshots and crop them to precision. :D - I currently have a sample of all the +0 pieces in game so far I believe, maybe missing some mage stuff. But I'm working on build +x versions of heavy and medium armors right now.
If anybody is in the Rathglen area and has some extra armors (+1 and higher) that they don't need or would like to trade for other stuff, please look me up!
I've farmed quite a few mobs (understatement) so have recipes for just about everything at this point, some spells too!
One of my goals is to have a copy of each piece of armor, and store them away on one of my other accounts for perpetuity, so that down the road if/when armor models are spiced up or enhanced, I can pull them out and take new screenshots again.
I know, I'm weird, but it kind of satisfies the collector in me.
w00t, got 4 more pieces of (+x) armor from Guildenstern - thanks!
Shoot, I'm all the way over in Rathglen. I'll make a note of your name and may make my way out that way over the weekend. Thank you
Awesome, I'll try and pop on now for a few minutes -
That login server is treacherous! Thanks Swiss, much appreciated

TBH most of them look the same.
For example I have made Hide and Steel up to +2, Yew and Iron up to +3 and that Paladin Semgmented Lorien or whatever its called (the recipe no longer drops but I can still make it AFAIK) also up to +2 in Alpha 8/9/10 and they look close enough to identical.
Yeah, I've started noticing that now as well.
Looks like there is some duplication of usage of armor models probably as a first pass effort by the artists?
Seems like the distinct armor models for now are:
pot steel plate
steel banded armor
scale armor
chainmail armor
leathers
rune robes
Maybe more -

Also on the list of armors:
Chain shirt (as distinct from chainmail), though I see you already have it in the gallery
Peasant's clothes
I've got a Loose Warrior's Shirt +3 on an alt in Rathglen if you want it. I can also lend you my Banded +3 for screenshots, but unless I can get some Hide Sheets +3 to make more I'll want it back :X
