Boxing costume pieces

I never thought about it before since I never wanted to use them at character creation before, but despite my having a 39-month vet badge, the Boxing costume options were not there when I wanted them to be. I created the character anyway and went to the tailor, and they were there - but that forced me to either use a free tailor token, which I have a limited number of, or pay in Influence that I didn't have. So, has anyone else had this problem?

I just checked, and the Boxing gloves were right where I expected them to be at the character creation screen.

On a side note, the 39 month Veteran Badge comes with a Free Tailor Session of it's own that you can claim from your Veteran Badge window, and new characters would have at least 8 more Veteran Sessions from previous months.

I know, I just don't like to use a token when I shouldn't have to.

That's just it.. you really shouldn't have to..

Try again on another new character and see if the options are still missing. If not, just save the costume you made and re-roll it without using a free token.

Unless I'm mistaken, the boxing costume parts are LINKED to the vet badge, so you don't have access to them until AFTER the badge is awarded and that happens when you first enter the city.

Which probably won't work, because the costume parts won't be unlocked on the new toon until it enters the city for the first time.

As I said above.. I tried making a new toon and they were immediately available for me.. which is why I suggested trying it again. I'm not having any problems accessing Veteran items (including the boxing items, and even wings) at character creation.

Incorrect. I regularly create characters utilizing veteran reward pieces. And by regularly, I mean, at least once or twice a month... at LEAST. >.> <.<

I just created a new character, and all Boxing parts are available. Perhaps the OP isn't looking in the correct areas for the pieces. On top of that, the Costume Set has a Boxer option as the last selection. This gets ALL of the Boxer pieces on the character, and is easy to customize from there to make the look how you want.

The pieces are as follows:

Upper Body : Tight (also Baggy, Robes, Sleeveless Robes, Sleeveless Jackets, Armored, Robotic Arm 1, or Robotic Arm 2) : Gloves : Boxing Gloves (Not available with Chest : Jackets, Trench Coat, or Robotic Arm 3)

Upper Body : Tight (also Baggy, Jackets, Sleeveless Jackets, Armored, Robotic Arm 1, Robotic Arm 2, or Robotic Arm 3) : Belts : Champion (Not available with Robes or Sleeveless Robes)

Lower Body : Kilts/Shorts : Boxing Shorts

Lower Body : Boots : Boxing

Note that the Lower Body options are only available in one specific setting while Upper Body options have multiple combinations that will give all parts. In Upper Body, the only options that won't let you select both the Boxing Glove and Champion Belt are Jackets, Robes, Sleeveless Robes, Trench Coat and Robotic Arm 3.

And yes, this was on a brand new character created temporarily on Justice. So Ironblade, the costume parts aren't only available after you've first entered the city. Yes, they are linked to the Vet badge, but that badge (and others that contain costume parts) are awarded to all costume slots and not to the individual characters as the Nemesis Staff, Blackwand, Buff Pets, etc. are done.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

I assure you, the entire "Boxer" costume set was missing. I did try that.
