Thread: Items that categorize incorrectly on vendors

Items that do not categorize correctly:


"Dummy" Categories:

  • Eyewear: currently no eyewear. We would love to have eyewear, but if that is never to be (alas) we would like this category removed to prevent confusion

  • Capes: Again, currently no capes. We wants em.


Non-Functional Categories:

  • Skirts: currently all skirts are classified as "misc clothing," and the "skirt" category is empty.

  • Wookiee Wear: Currently wookiee items are classified by whatever parts of the body they cover, rather than as wookiee wear. This category is confusing because customers may assume that there is no wookiee wear on the vendor because this category is empty. In addition, customers may buy items such as the "crested battle padding" which does not have the word "wookiee" in the title, because it is in with the rest of the "shirts".


Random misclassified items

  • The exotic leotard should be classified as a "bodysuit" not a "dress"

  • The Gunman Duster should be classified as a "jacket" not a "robe".

  • The Smock should be classified as a "robe" not a "dress"

  • The Dress Robe should be classified as a "robe" not a "jacket".

  • The Short Skirt should be classified as a "skirt" not "pants"

  • The Short Wrap should be classified as a "skirt" not "pants


Please let me know if you disagree with anything on this list or want to add anything that I've missed.


In case you're wondering why I'm doing this, it's simply to get all this information right, and all in one place. That way if the devs happen to mention something about redoing the vendor categories, I have it all ready to go. Planning ahead is good.

I think the Doctors "dress" should be a robe too.

Grand Healer's Robe as well.

Grand Healer (even tho it has ROBE in the title) should stay under dress until guys can wear it

Hmmm... maybe the grand healer robe needs a name change to "grand healer dress." As for the doctor's dress... it really looks to me like a dress. The urge to robe-classify it, I think, stems from it being so popular for males. It could go either way. The ones on the borders are tricky.


As I have always understood it, clothes are categorized by functionality rules.Robes & dresses are functionallly different because you can wear a shirt underneath a robe. Similarly bodysuits can have a vest over em, but not dresses (hence why the exotic leotard is a "dress"). The difference between robes and jackets, I think, has something to do with the long uniform gloves.


Regardless of these rules, the current categories are unintuitive. But recategorizing some items may create problems remembering the "what can be worn with what" rules.


Just something to be aware of

Maybe we can get the Grand Healer's Robe turned into a unisex item? *puppy-eyes*

I would also like to mention that many clothing components (if not all) show up as generic "component" in the bazaar/vendor list, rather than "clothing component".

But it has a curvy "girl chest" contoured section Are you SURE you would want to wear it


Thanks for categorizing all this NJ, I was just whining about it to myself this morning when I couldn't find theGunman's Duster (can never remember where to find it, and theCamo Duster is somewhereoff on its own too, I don't think either is with cloak). The non collapsing-ness of the categories is another pet peeve.

When you look at a lot of items, I notice the majority have the curvy "girl chest" in the window view, yet when worn by the male they're fine.

And yes, I'm sure I want to wear it, just like I'm sure I want to wear the Exquite Gown, the Grand Ball Gown, etc.
