the crystarium tabard actually doesn't have this, tbh. i'm aiming for a breastplate over cloth or leather, while this is cloth over chainmail. and yeah, the high mythrite cuirass looks good but it's not quite what i'm looking for with the shoulderpads and the belt/faulds

setting up my evercold glam; anybody know of any gear in this game that's got just a simple breastplate? i know there's the praemagitek fending/maiming tops but they're not really good for the cold, and the darbar fending/maiming tops are just a bit too ostentatious i think.

In the foreground, Wuk Lamat is standing on a cliffside in Urqopacha, confidently holding her axe up behind her back, over her shoulder, as she smiles off into the distance. Krile is looking up at Lamaty'i, smiling as she puts one hand on her hip.

In the background, on the same cliffside, Apollo is looking at a map rather confusedly, while Alisaie is looking up at him with arms crossed, clearly impatient.

Apollo turns to read the book on the counter.

Apollo slumps over with a continued sour expression while Minfilia laughs heartily at him.

Majuular just put out a new episode of his Ultima retrospective, so I've got this on the brain now: #wolqotd! Of the Eight Virtues - Honesty, Compassion, Valor, Justice, Sacrifice, Honor, Spirituality, and Humility - which does your WoL/OC embody the strongest? Which do they struggle with the most?

The symbol of the Codex of Ultimate Wisdom from the Ultima series, which shows the three Principles - Truth, Love, and Courage - as three circles in the center of a larger circle, with six lines skimming the surface of circle to demonstrate the connection between the Principles and Virtues;

- Honesty, from Truth alone
- Compassion, from Love alone
- Valor, from Courage alone
- Justice, from Truth and Love
- Sacrifice, from Love and Courage
- Honor, from Truth and Courage
- Spirituality, from Truth, Love, and Courage combined
- Humility, derived from no Principle but serving to moderate the other Virtues.
