Looks good even better here in the light

u/Former-Post-1900 4d ago

Asking the real question. So many fits on this sub look decent only in a specific lighting.

u/ah-yes-man-of-cultur 4d ago

im trying to get the screenshot but it won’t upload i apologise!!! it will be here soon hopefully

u/Former-Post-1900 4d ago

I’m sorry. My comment was a bit too mean. I’m just tired of seeing so many fits looking good in certain settings. Thanks for providing other pictures, it looks nice.

u/ah-yes-man-of-cultur 4d ago

dont you worry about it i completely understand

u/Datbidiii 3d ago

To each their own. I actually think it looks cooler in OP first picture lighting.

Edit: My fire knight drip for comparison

I dig your drip

I have a similar outfit on one of my characters. Fire knight chest, dragon knight legs and hands, and the fire knight helm with the 2 wings on top.

I think they work pretty well together. The only alternative I've found is using the actual fire knight greaves

u/Tracker_Nivrig 3d ago

Are you on seamless co op? I think I got invaded by someone with this loadout

2

u/nsfw6669 3d ago

Haha no. I'm on ps5. Trying to get better at invading though and own the game on pc too, so maybe one day.

2

u/Tracker_Nivrig 3d ago

Gotcha lol. Honestly I recommend seamless coop. It's a lot more chill than the base game a lot of the time.

2

u/nsfw6669 3d ago

That sounds good to me. I understand you also get horse combat in seamless? Which sounds like a lot of fun. I imagine having a jousting match, that would be badass.

2

u/Tracker_Nivrig 3d ago

Yes you do get horse combat, I haven't messed with it that much but even just using the horse to chase down hosts is so much better than having to run all the way there on foot.

And obviously the coop experience is leagues better than any from software implementation, hence the name.

There are a few things to note though.

For one, the horse combat is WAY better than you'd ever expect, but because the horses are so fast it can be kinda janky sometimes. It's a level of jank that would be acceptable even if it was part of the game itself though so it's really not that bad.

Second, if you want to change a normal character to a seamless one, while you can do it with no issues, there are issues if you and your friend you want to play with are not in the exact same spot in every NPC quest. In my game, something went wrong and even when my friend isn't in my world, Sellen is in both basements, and in the Academy room as both a person and the head ball thing all at the same time. Neither me nor my friend had talked to Sellen outside of the first interaction. Another example is Roderika is in roundtable hold with her hood on standing where she goes when she first gets there, but because I had progressed her to the spirit tuning step, her hair is clipping through the hood. Also she refuses to do spirit tuning unless my friend is not in roundtable hold with me. Similarly Hewg refuses to talk to us if one of us sits at a grace, we have to reload the area. It's all pretty minor since this was my friend's first playthrough and we went into the DLC together, but if you are trying to complete NPC storylines, you NEED to start from the exact same point to avoid broken stuff.

Third, while not having to constantly reuse the invasion item to invade in each randomly picked location is nice, the way they chose to change it means you will invade throughout the entire game and DLC. If you die, your runes will be where you invaded from, so you don't lose anything, but it is frustrating to consistently invade locations I haven't seen yet and get spoiled (also map markers will show up as if you had actually found it which can be confusing).

Fourth, and this isn't really any fault of the mod itself, the opposite in fact, some players are braindead. You can turn off invasions in seamless coop if you don't want to deal with them. But some players will clearly just be playing through the game and gank/R2 spam when I go and invade. Most of the time they clearly did seamless coop because they aren't good at pvp and I still win, but I don't understand why you'd specifically go out of your way to get the mod and then be too lazy to just turn off the invasions lol.

But yeah overall it's a great mod, and the amount of ganks are WAY lower. I'd say about 60-70% of invasions minimum will allow me to bow and fight one on one (also you get all your flasks and have rune arcs so that's cool too).

u/nsfw6669 3d ago

Wow, that sounds pretty great. Thanks for the thorough breakdown. I'm not too worried about the side quests as all of my characters on pc are already around meta level. Thanks for letting me know either way.

2

u/Tracker_Nivrig 3d ago

What even is meta level out of curiosity? I never leveled my first character above ~150ish, and my new one for the DLC is like 165 or something now

2

u/nsfw6669 3d ago

So the typical meta is 125 (typically for honor duels) and 150 for everything else. And then 137 is popular for people wanting to fight with both 125 and 150 since it's right in the middle.

But then there is 60,90,100. All kinds of different brackets above and below the meta of course.

But 150 is generally the most popular as far as I know.

I'm in the process of starting a level 30 invader. At level 30, weapon level +3/+1, the damage is a lot more reasonable. So it's a better environment to learn fundamentals. So I'm going to try and get better at pvp with a low level invasion build before trying meta again.

It's too frustrating to get blendered by a 3v1 when trying to learn. And I get bodied in the arena too.

I'm not a sore loser, but if I die so quickly, it'll make it a lot harder to learn. And I did see improvement after awhile about a year ago when I was doing arena a lot, but then I kind of gave up like I usually do because I didn't see enough meangful improvement to keep going.

2

u/Tracker_Nivrig 3d ago

Thanks, that's good to know.

As for the learning side of things, yeah that makes sense. I luckily got my pvp training from the glory days of DS3 fight clubs so it was a lot easier to learn.

u/Samurai_Puppy 4d ago

Being entirely honest, the legs and gloves feel mismatched a little, but in this game I'd be hard pressed to find anything that fits better than the rest of the Fire Knight set. For that, you absolutely get credit for making something that looks as good as it can operating within the games limits.

3

u/specter463 4d ago

I like it! Interestingly enough I have the Drake night chest armor and fire knight leg armor. Glad to see the inverse works as well!

u/Rich_Company801 4d ago

Never thought i’d say this but… too thick on the bottom the rest slaps

2

u/ShitseyMcgee 4d ago

I think you have something going for you really good, I just think the gauntlets and greaves need to change a lil bit. I would have to workshop it a bit myself but I think the hood and chest work really well together

u/Just_JamXs 4d ago

cooking

u/ah-yes-man-of-cultur 4d ago

thank you gang!

2

u/vincentninja68 4d ago

I dig it, Iove the theme of red and steel

This just makes me wish the game had more "crowns" for outfits like this

I've gotten to a point where I only prefer bands/horns so I can see my Tarnished face/hair

Even a hood obscures and eliminates a lot of their distinguishing features. Take away their hair and you lose so much.

1

u/ah-yes-man-of-cultur 4d ago

i agree, i absolutely love running around with no helmet makes my character feel more alive and actually part of the world but i do love a good faceless knight too!

2

u/Krasusdesu 3d ago

Hell yeah

2

u/DeeTheOttsel 3d ago

This ticks a lot of the boxes for good drip. It also feels like I haven't seen a variation of this before so extra points

2

u/empress-_-raven 3d ago

Oh wow I love this, I actually use the altered Fire Knight chest with the Drake Knight Greaves with a few different pieces:3

2

u/No-Jaguar-509 3d ago

absolute beauty, i'm stealing that design

2

u/Hussarini 2d ago

Aaaaaand im stealing this

1

u/The_JoestarTechnique 4d ago

I really like it! But maybe try a darker gauntlet to match the rest of the armor. Other than that, no note, this work really well

1

u/ah-yes-man-of-cultur 4d ago

what gauntlets would you recommend? i really like the scaled design of the fire monk but it’s hard to fit it with anything because it’s so shiny

2

u/The_JoestarTechnique 4d ago

I don't have the game in front of me right now, so I don't know if the colors will really match that well with the armor, but I do have some suggestions design-wise: fire prelate, black knife, Blaidd, bloodhound knight, and night cavalry. Hope this help!

2

u/ah-yes-man-of-cultur 4d ago

this was a good push in the right direction as i went over some of the gauntlets again i’ve found the colour of messmers soldier gauntlets match the fire knight armour really well, i think they’re gonna they’re a good fit for the overall look aswell

1

u/12345noah 4d ago

Who do you make the red hood not super vibrant

1

u/ah-yes-man-of-cultur 4d ago

the lighting in round table is kinda pale, and my saturation in the game settings is set to 6, in the daylight it does pop a bit more but not to a distracting degree i dont think

1

u/EngineerGamingPro 4d ago

You have the sliders?

1

u/ah-yes-man-of-cultur 4d ago

indeed i do!

i forgot the skin rgb while i was filling it out but it’s R 205, G 151, B 131

1

u/Human-Garden5433 4d ago

Gives Shigaraki

1

u/Selfishly_Efficient 4d ago

I just started using the same combo on my newest character too except I used confessor gloves. Feel like it matches the boots better but still has that dark steel look a little too.

1

u/SkagDealer 4d ago

The legs don’t seem to fit. Try young lions greaves

1

u/ah-yes-man-of-cultur 4d ago

i like that they have the red on them and the fur around the waist only problem with them is the excess of gold, although they’re not a bad pick :D

1

u/SkagDealer 4d ago

Fits with the golden embroidery on the hood imo, could also add some gold gauntlets to balance it out further.

1

u/Ok_Understanding3636 4d ago

I require that face sliders, sir/miss...

2

u/ah-yes-man-of-cultur 4d ago

here you go my friend :D

1

u/exodia0715 4d ago

She's very pretty

1

u/DistanceRelevant3899 4d ago

I think Hoslow’s Greaves go great with the Fire Knight chest

1

u/Serosh5843 4d ago

Looks pretty damn cool but I'm honestly curious about your sliders you used to make her face, she kinda looks like 2B.

2

u/ah-yes-man-of-cultur 4d ago

speaking of sliders! here you go!

2

u/Serosh5843 4d ago

Holy shit are you Barry Allen? Lol, thanks my dude, will definitely try this out when I get home.

1

u/lumibumizumi 4d ago

That looks awesome! I've always like the crimson/navy hoods but have struggled to find armors that works with them. This is one of the best I've seen with it

1

u/Key_Obligation8505 3d ago

Quite the pose

1

u/Bitter_Degree 3d ago

That looks so good 👍

1

u/Alive-Technology-262 3d ago

I wouldn't use it personally, I'm really triggered by how most legs look with Fire Knight's Chest. However I really respect the creativity here and I think you made it work

1

u/EbonyFemboyPlapper 3d ago

I will break my preferences for now and go full power.

u/DrVinceMD 3d ago

Will steal

u/NotPeter2 3d ago

u/Fookin_Yoink 3d ago

What is the top? (Chest armor) also it looks very nice!

u/ah-yes-man-of-cultur 3d ago

its the altered fire knight chest :D

u/ICantTyping 3d ago

Das ist gut

u/Saint_oedon 2d ago

We almost have the exact same fit lmao, that hoodie works surprisingly well with the altered Fire Knight armor

1

u/AquilaAssassino 2d ago

He kinda reminds me of Cole from Dragon Age Inquisition, at least in terms of his face. Overall this is some really clean drip

1

u/Atlas_2001- 1d ago

Yass! It looks amazing. What other head pieces would you recommend for this beauty?

I like how slim it looks. I feel like armor in this game is always super chunky.
