Suggestions/Comments: With the introduction of Fallen God Armor, older Boss Gear has been rendered unobtainable for those who would choose to wear it as an outfit. As upgrading gear ultimately leads to adopting the Fallen God pieces, this process necessitates the forced change of the piece into a different outfit or costume entirely. This situation has made these armor pieces virtually impossible for anyone to obtain if they're pushing to the next level of gear. The Boss Gear that has been phased out had some of the best designs when we were first introduced to them, and it's sad to see them wearable only during a small timeframe during the gearing process. I believe this presents a great opportunity to reintroduce these designs into the existing gearing structure as costumes. This idea might seem a bit silly, but for veteran players especially, these armors served as costumes for a large portion of players, evoking a sense of nostalgia for the early years of the game. Seeing these make a comeback, even in a small way, would mean a lot to the veteran player base and I think it would be a welcomed addition.

Boss gear that would be made wearable:
Dim Tree Spirit's Armor

Red Nose's Armor

Blackstar Armor

Griffon's Helmet

Giath's Helmet

Blackstar Helmet

Solutions:

1. Tailoring Coupon

This would be a straightforward addition because all you would need is a base piece of boss gear to transform into a wearable costume. It could also give life to the boss gear market if people chose to wear them. The only problem I foresee with this solution is that the outfits that are available for it aren't armors at all but their own subsection of costumes, so it would seem out of place among the others. However, I believe this would be the option most players would prefer.

2. Honor Armor

The main quest line provides you with "[Honor] Armor" of various pieces of sets throughout the story. This could also be applied to the above-mentioned items. The chest pieces could be made obtainable through the O'dyllita quest line since the Fallen God's Armor was first introduced in this region, and for the helmets, the Mountain of Eternal Winter would be the choice since Labreska's Helmet was introduced there. This could also be incorporated into a sub-quest that you get from "Dorin Morgrim" where you show him your Fallen God's Armor or Labreska's Helmet and in return, you receive the armor you had converted into an [Honor] Dim Tree Armor, [Honor] Giath's Helmet, etc. This change would make the most sense out of the three because there are green armors in the game that have already been converted like this.

3. Buyable through Pearl Shop

These models are loved by the community and its a shame they're not wearable as costumes, here is a simple way to monetize this idea with ease. I wouldn't doubt that others, including myself, would instantly purchase this if it were available, and made into something that takes the costume slot. The items in question could be made purchasable through the Costume section, as this is where it would make the most sense to be located.

Conclusion:
Overall, this is a minor request from a small portion of the community that wishes to see these armors return for players who have advanced their gear to the next stage. I, for one, have used the Dim Tree as an identifier for years since I first acquired it, and I know many others share this sentiment. Thank you for your time if you've read through this, and please comment if you have any other suggestions!
