Celestial Costume Set

I see this as an exclusive reward available only to VIPers. Could someone please post pics of the various pieces. I have no idea what they look like and would rather not spend points on something I'll end up hating. I'm pretty sure I'll love it, I just want to see it all first.

I was under the impression that you could only get them if you had reached the top tier... that is, spent points on everything else already so why not spend a point here?

The rest of t9 rewards can be purchased more than once, so you can just buy more of that. The VIP T9 items are suppose to rotate through every few months or so, from what I understand. Right now I want to know of the Celestial Costumes are better than, say, 8 more Windfall or XP Boosters.

Ah, I see your concern. Sorry I don't have a picture for you, though. =/

I don't have any pictures of my characters with it, but you can get a fairly good sense of it based off of the pictures they have on the paragon rewards section of the I21 info page thing.

I'd actually link to a picture from there for you, but they're kind of large.

I'm not a huge fan of the gloves or the boots since they don't really take a color very well, but I really do like the chest piece (even though it has somewhat the same problem), and the energy wings. The aura and the weapons are pretty cool too though. Overall I personally think they were a worthwhile choice, but that's just me.

These are just some quick screenshots of the Celestial armor set. It isn't all of the pieces. (No weapons, only one of the back detail pieces.)

Armored version:

That looks pretty damn awesome actually!

That back piece is... interesting, though the wing type things seen in the samples Oliin suggested look really good. I might have to pick this up. Not too sure if it's worth spending extra real money to buy the extra reward tokens I'll need to get it right away, but it's something to think about.

Thanks!

Note, the screenshots don't show it well, but the parts of the armor that are that dirty yellow colour 'glow' if you use lighter shades.

There's a few back options;

  • The ornate metal ring (pictured above),
  • A thorn design (4 spikes, with a glowing design),
  • and a back option that's two 3/4 circles that radiate energy (a kinda fire-like aura that I can't quite match with any actual auras)

The radiant wings don't flap like regular wings, and there's 2 options - one that 'folds down' while on the ground (open while jumping/flying), and one that's always 'open'.

As far as weapons go - The paragon rewards detals page shows the mace (the axe uses the same model, but flipped so the axe side is forwards)...

OMG that set looks amazing. I hope I have enough time to reach Tier 9 VIP before it gets cycled out! I've only got one of the rewards in Tier 6 right now. T_T


To this 4/4 beat, I'm in time with you. To this 4/4 beat, I would die for you. Your lovesick melody is going to get the best of me tonight, but you won't get to me 'cause I won't sing.

Here's a few Weapon samples. Axe, mace, and swords (which can be used by BS or Dual Blades, but not Katana)...




Yes, the mace is just hitting people with the back of the axe. It's actually pretty cool that way, I think.
There are also guns for Dual Pistols and a cannon for the Assault and Beam Rifles, but I don't have pictures handy for those.

TY for the sword pic Lazarillo. Has me wishing I could somehow jump to T9 just for these pieces!

Well, the "good" news is you receive reward tokens for spending real money on paragon points. I wouldn't recommend it unless you definitely had something you wanted to spend those points on though, otherwise you'd be spending between $150-$200 just for a handful of (awesome) costume pieces.

technically you could "jump" there if you bought enough points to give you enough reward tokens to ill in the rest of the tree

I "jumped" there. Had plans for it when I figured out what it would take to go tier 9 for me in beta.


No one pays attention to me, cause I listen to the voices in my head.

I'm considering jumping there myself as if I miss this window I'll have to wait an unknown time to have another shot at this set.

I'm assuming if you get this set, but then downgrade from VIP to f2p, you can still use it? It's probably a dumb question, but if I dish out the extra cash for points, then I can't use that cash to pay for my subscription.

Yes, Preemies that have unlocked Celestial Armor can wear it.

sorry to interrupt, but i was wondering if only level 50s on your account can wear the armor, or if all your toons could access it?

Celestial stuff is available to all characters on your account, from level 1 on up.
