I hate armor neck gaps

This is superficial and minor, but when a chest piece doesn’t cover the neck, and the matching helm leave a gap between the helm and chest piece, it drives me absolutely crazy. I just… why? Why was it modeled that way? Who looked at that and said: “Yep, walking around fully armored with your neck exposed is the way.”

Bruh…

So your character walks around fully covered except the neck… it drives me crazy.

There are entire armor sets I refuse to wear because of this, and some races it’s worse than others. Kul Tiran males probably have it the worst, their bodies are so big and helms are scaled to be so small on them, it constantly leaves this neck gap

I realize it’s minor, and doesn’t impact gameplay at all, it’s just something I find so irritating

If you think that’s bad put on the harlequin set, if you have it, and zoom in on the back of the neck.

This is one of many reasons I don’t wear helms. lol

It’s why I love all the different eye wear options.

Counterpoint: Don’t cover yourself. Don’t rely on armor for protection. Be tough on your own. Be your own armor.

Then there can be no gap :smiley:

I have the solution, OP:

Cravat ascots for all!

These could be transmog items in the Trading Post, assuming Blizz would implement transmog for the neck slot.

/moo :cow:

I have trouble putting helms on my paladin, seeing the helm bobble above her neck tendrils gives me sympathy pains for a body part that doesn’t even exist on humans. It looks like it would be so uncomfortable and painful to have a plate helm on without securing the tendrils to prevent from getting smushed.

Id love a normal pair of square frame glasses

Me too, but in the mean time the purple ones you can fish up in Gilneas are really cool.

I don’t have that set but now I’m curious

Does it have a gap? Or clipping issues? Some stuff I don’t quite get the full picture because I play a Tauren lol. Everything is messed up on me

This is why you wear combat rated aviator shades. No gaps. 133.7% fashionable. :sunglasses:

A possible solution would be to sell shirts (those you wear under armour) on the Trading Post that cover the neck (I’d really like a black one) or allow Tailors to make them.

Unless they changed it, it clearly just cuts off your head. Your head is actually missing. So its more than just a gap, its a gap and you can tell from the gap that you have been decapitated.

Whatever you do, WHATEVER you do, do NOT play a human female plate-wearer. Almost every single helmet they can put on COMPLETELY exposes the back of their neck

Saaaame. Which is why I love the Molten Vanguard set.

Wait what? There are new glasses to fish up? I shall have to look that up.

I end up not wearing helms, or using the trading post neck scarf things to fix odd neck gaps. I also use shirts to fix odd armor lines or bare spots.

Yep! https://www.wowhead.com/item=67108/lord-godfreys-old-spectacles

Just fish anywhere inside Gilneas city, and it has a decent chance to be fished up.

Well I know what I am doing with this nice cup of tea and my time tonight!

Thank you! I love fishing esp when I have a goal.
