otherwise i'd say, like i mentioned in the dumb but actually awesome costume piece thread, the phoenix wings/tail when colored black paired with the cryogenic aura finished off one of my characters and i cant make his costume any better [at the moment].
the elemental order belt also was a surprise finisher.
also, on more than one occasion: leopard pattern on a bare chest [male]. several times i've made a warrior with great pants/boots/gloves and even a chest detail but was still missing something, and the big kitty pattern looked great, bold or subtle colors both work. its a great pattern.
There are a number of great costumes I have now that could never have existed 8 years ago.
The next big breakthrough for me is coming with the Mecha set. I created one character in particular about 7 years ago with the idea in mind that she would fly with a "fixed wing Mecha jet pack" and use other Mecha tech for her powers. I now have about 5 different costumes created and waiting on the Beta server with all those new elements finally incorporated into her outfits.

Basically my original main alt was never complete until wings and animated tails happened. When I think back on it now it's weird that I even tried to "pretend" that she had wings when there were none there at first.|

There are many pieces, old or new, that made a design final to me. But just off the top of my head, I'd say Death Goggles. Colored black or some other dark color and combined with various helmet or hat pieces, they make absolutely perfect cold, dead, scary robot eyes!
My problem is usually the reverse. I spend a lot of time tuning up and experimenting in the editor to get the perfect costume before I even enter a character into the game system. So usually, I'm often at a loss as to where to take things when play gives me more costume slots.

Never finished, always tweaking.
I keep asking for the pieces I need, but still my voice is a mouse next to the lion roars of so many others wanting things for their own use.
What I need has yet to be done. I've posted my ideas for pieces and whole packs enough. I won't post it again.

I'm not sure, but I think those Omega pieces I just got (thanks, NCSoft Free Code Giveaway!) might be perfect for my Stone/Stone Tanker. With any luck, I'll know next month.
