Pictomancers have been given time to cement themselves, and continue to present themselves as painting powerhouses. Even before then, the appearance of the artifact gear we were given had people fawning over its pretty style and pleasant colours.
However, the options are as limitless as the imagination. Some people may have already planned out their outfits before it was released, but there may be those who picked it up later or have yet to find the perfect fit.
If you need inspiration, then here’s a selection of outfits of varying styles.
Diadochos Casting Set
How to Acquire: Different pieces can be crafted by level 90 Weavers or Leatherworkers with access to Master X recipes.
Dyeable: Yes
Tradeable: Yes
This soft and cosy set exudes the epitome of the art student vibe. The overlapping layers fade faintly into each other in a pleasant gradient, as the colours come out more muted when dyed onto this fabric. Half fingerless gloves and comfy shoes allow for more free form movement when painting on the go.
Topped off with a small over the shoulder satchel bag to carry your supplies, and a classic beret, this is a great source of inspiration if you’re looking to lean on a more humble, soft or youthful aesthetic.
Mheg Deaca Set
How to Acquire: Purchased online via the Mogstation
Dyeable: Yes
Tradeable: No
Transitioning from humble to whimsical, if you prefer to be as bright and colourful as your paintings then consider channelling the power of the pixie.
Though this set will cost you real life money, the beauty makes it worth the coin, especially if you can catch it on sale. The outfit consists of two main notable pieces; an intricate, nature inspired gown sprouting butterfly like wings and a beautiful crown.
These are lightly accessorised with, stitched boots and plain trousers underneath for modesty.
Clown's Set
How to Acquire: Former quest reward from the All Saints Wake seasonal event. Now can be purchased via the Mogstation; usually on sale when the associated seasonal event is active.
Dyeable: Yes
Tradeable: No
Another eccentric choice, but in a more light-hearted direction this time. When they’re not terrifying children and adults alike, clowns are typically known as bringers of joy. By donning this, you could trade in the typical tricks of balloons and juggling balls for moogles and rainbows.
Or, perhaps you want to take after the horror trope and spread fear with your summons instead. Whatever your prerogative, some of the nicely detailed pieces here might be of use.
Eden's Promise Casting Set
How to Acquire: Trade in loot drops from Eden’s Promise duties.
Dyeable: Yes
Tradeable: No
If you prefer a more alternative style of dress, this set might be what you’re looking for. Channel your inner Portrait of Dorian Grey by donning this elegant, Victorian gothic inspired outfit, presenting as a suit or skirt and long coat combo dependent on the character’s gender.
It is a shame to be gender-locked this way, but those are the only differences as both versions also sport the same top hat, boots and gloves. It’s beautifully textured with detailed stitching, distributing the dye channels in complementary ways.
Buttoned/Varsity Set
How to Acquire: Different pieces can be crafted by level 90 Weavers or Leatherworkers with access to Master IX recipes.
Dyeable: Yes
Tradeable: Yes
Here’s a good example of a set with typically feminine and masculine equivalents where both can be equipped by anyone. Its design is a bit more low key, but that works for it.
There’s only two specific differences between the versions, in that the buttoned version’s varsity jacket is, as you might guess, buttoned up, and the trousers are traded for a long skirt. Otherwise, it’s accentuated by a beret and running shoes. I suggest this one if you want to roleplay a hipster who got into pictomancy ‘before it was cool’.
Boulevardier/Quaintrelle's Set
How to Acquire: Different pieces can be crafted by level 70 Weavers or Leatherworkers with access to Master VI recipes.
Dyeable: Yes
Tradeable: Yes
The natural progression of the hipster; the pompous elitist. Present yourself as the prestigious artist you are in this expensive looking fit. One version gives you a ruffled shirt and trousers, tied together by a sturdy belt, strappy leather shoes adorn the feet and just to flex, your choice of hat is an even smaller beret.
The belt buckles and waistcoat are both decorated with gold, to further flaunt your wealth. On the other hand you have a short, ruffled dress with a long collar and pretty little bow.
All in all, it’s an aesthetically fancy fit, and generally affordable seeing as each set only consists of four pieces.
Evenstar Set
How to Acquire: Exchanged for Allied Seals from the Hunt Billmaster in any starting city hub.
Dyeable: Yes
Tradeable: No
Returning to the eccentric side of things, become your own (even)star in this flashy set. Drawing on both the magician aesthetic, and a little bit of Alice in Wonderland, it’s an intricately designed outfit from the colours to the details.
Made from a fair amount of leather, cut into all sorts of angles and slits, dashed with lines of colours, stitched in others and held together with big buckles.
All of this, and adorned with the most whimsical of top hats with its Mad Hatter style card and pin. This is a fun choice for those looking to put on a show.
Eastern Socialite’s/Mun’gaek Sets
How to Acquire: Purchased online via the Mogstation.
Dyeable?: Yes
Tradeable: No
Both of these complementary sets, thankfully wearable regardless of gender, are works of art in and of themselves. The first is a gorgeous, leg slit gown, embroidered with trailing flowers and a decorative fascinator to match. As for the second, it’s a long flowing coat with a detachable sleeve and loose trousers.
While it also has a light flower pattern, the key design motif is the knives. These are great choices if you’d either like to become like a painting yourself, or dabble in a different cultural style.
Flannel Set
How to Acquire: Different pieces can be crafted by level 60 Weavers or Leatherworkers with access to Master III recipes.
Dyeable: Yes
Tradeable: Yes
Shifting vibes entirely, let’s take the homely feel quite literally and dress ourselves like we’re about to do some interior decorating. The signature piece of this set is the tartan flannel coat, tied around the waist over a plain, suspender held outfit, matching patterned hat and sensible shoes.
Though not so flashy, it’s fitting for those not wanting to ruin their best clothes with aether paint stains. Plus, the big pockets of the coat are ideal for carrying all the tools you need on the go.
Felicitous Set
How to Acquire: Purchased with Seafarer’s Cowries from the Horrendous Hoarder when your island sanctuary is at rank 20.
Dyeable: Yes
Tradeable: No
To round off the Pictomancer runway, we have this set that manages to capture both cute and glamorous in its design. Cute, in regards to the cat eared hood and thick paw like gloves, but glamorous with its over the knee boots, laced corset and elegant caped cloak.
It’s a creative mix of styles that would suit an artist who likes to dabble in all sorts of mediums. That, and manifest both wholesome and terrifying creations to enact their will.
