Today we bring you screenshots of all the racial armors!

These armor sets can only be worn by the race they belong to. Racial armor consists of 3 tiers and can be bought in the capital cities. Tier 1, tier 2 and tier 3 cost 1g, 10g and 20g per piece respectively.


Asura Male, Tier 1 to Tier 3

Some cool armor although the T3 human armor is full of daggers, like they forgot Engineers can't use them. It's much more for Rangers and Theives.. not Engineers :(

But I'm sure I can find enough cool armor in there to be happy...

That tier 3 armor was my sole reason for rolling a human scholar.

Does anyone know where the human female necromancer outfit comes from? The one that looks like Alice from Madness returns? I wanna see if it is profession specific or my mesmer can wear it.

The Sylvari outfits look awesome. Everytime I see something new about this game Aug 28 seems that much further away! :(

Human Female Light & Medium Armor progression:
Tier 1 - cool looking yet practical
Tier 2 - cool looking yet practical
Tier 3 - slutty & hooker

Fortunately the Seraph armor breaks that trend.

I really wish the Tier 1 Norn female medium looked more like its male version.  As is, it looks like a bathtowel wrapped around her, tantilizing the 14 yo males with a design that looks like it might slip off at any moment...  Or the thong on the norn female heavy t3...

I think the sylvari need more variation - its all leaves.  More bark (say for the heavy sets) or other plant structures/textures than the same one they're repeating over all the sets.

None of the armor is profession-specific.  It is either light, medium, or heavy.  So, anything you've seen on a necromancer can be worn by a mesmer.  If you're talking about the armor that I think you are, then yes, mesmer can wear it.

Love the racial armor sets available. This makes chosing a race for each class all the more a difficult choice. I wish there was a third Heavy Armor Class option now.

The tier'd armor is very nice for humans. They should add, a second tier 3 set for the Engineer though, or replace the daggers with tools as an option for the human tier 3 leather set. OR they could just add daggers to the engineer as a weapon.

Glad to see Sereph available to Humans for Tier 3 heavy armor.

Can't wait to see crafted armor sets.

If this is true, I will be sticking with human has my race, as I just find that armor to be AMAZING.

Yeah, that is non-race specific light armor.  You should be able to wear it as female human, norn, or sylvari, although the design may be different slightly for norn and sylvari.  I would expect female asura and charr to wear something almost identical to what the males wear, instead, though.

Same! I've always been in love with [url="http://www.guildwars2.com/global/includes/images/wallpapers/GuildWars2_GuardianWallpaper01_800x600.jpg"]this[/url] concept art, so it brings me infinite joy to see they have recreated it so well in game.

I could not find the Charr racial armor vendor during the BWE except for the tier 1 >_< I pretty sure I missed something big xD. Anyway, It's cool seeing them here ! I must say, I'm disappointed to see they went with some huge shoulder pads here... (on the Charr mainly)

Edit : And now we can be sure DE's members are just wearing their T3 racial armor :P

Some of the Sylvari racials look so sloppy in my opinion. I'm not sure about them.
