Cloaks

Cloaks become available to players in the Echoes of Faydwer expansion. There are at least three kinds of cloaks:  crafter made cloaks guild cloaks deity or quest completion cloaks  Crafter cloaks are an easy way to get your cloak once you get into EoF. Tailors can make them from the usual tailor components - roots and pelts. If you have a rare root, you can get a rare cloak. It's possible that cloaks may drop in chests, but I can't say for sure. Guild cloaks are not actually their own item. In order to wear a guild cloak, you pretty much need a cloak from another source already. When you do, you can choose to wear your guild heraldry on your cloak in place of its normal design. Go to your Persona window under Options-->Display Heraldry on Cloak. There is also a button to "hide cloak" so you can wear one and not have everyone see your horrible taste in clothing. The shape of the cloak and general way it blows in the wind is based on the cloak design underneath. It's not a guild thing. You can have a low Tier common cloak and still get your guild heraldry on it. Quests, especially the deity quests may grant a cloak with special abilties to those who complete them. Guild Heraldry  Background color of the cloak is the main choice a guild has when designing a cloak. At level 15 guilds can choose an Emblem. This is a picture that appears on your guild cloak, on your back. Emblems consist of perhaps two dozen symbols. There are emblems of: swords, stars, a skull, etc... even a seahorse. A guild may choose its Emblem color. At level 30, a guild can choose to change the Edge design of its cloak. The edge design is a repeating pattern that goes around the sides and bottom of your cloak. There are about a dozen edge designs like: thick lines, thin lines, dots, squiggles, etc. Again, the guild may choose its Edge color. Level 60 guilds may change their heraldry Pattern. Beta testing had nine Patterns. Some are similar to classic heraldry, some are quite different. A guild may choose the color of its Pattern. I suggest the following names because no official names were given:  quarterly diamond inverted chevron per pale per bend sinister <li>half per bend sinister <li>complex web <li>simple web <li>embroidery pattern </ul> Changes to the cloak cost money to the guildmember who enacts the heraldry change. Changes are made by an NPC who stands near the guild registrar in your home city.
