The Solite and Lunite Armor need a few medium quality of life upgrades.

The Solite armor looks great, but my only complaint is that it's cape(like Lunites) looks like a solid piece of cardboard. It's jarringly square, completely 2 dimensional and that really takes away from how nice the texture looks.

And the Lunite Armor needs some contrast on it's animated textures. It was only when I saw a looping gif on the wiki, did I realize it was actually animated. The animated texture looks like it's a flat unmoving texture... So It would be nice if you could up just up the contrast on Lunites Animated textures, so the animation can actually be viewed. Or better- Give it more of an 'aurora' look like it's concept work showed. The Lunite cape is also too stiff and cardboard-like.

You need to pay the full way to get either cape.... So really, how they look isn't really... acceptable. There are tons of existing capes in the game; and so development-wise it shouldn't be too difficult to use an existing cape model as a base for a solite and lunite cape redesign.



The armor just rereleased; so it would be a good time to give it a quality of life update. Would be super appreciated! I actually really like the armor sets. It's just a shame that The Lunite one seems more unpopular because it doesn't LOOK like it has animation like solite does.

But again, when it comes to the capes; There are plenty of capes in the game that completely outclass the Solite and Lunite capes. They really are just... Not good. Really bad by runescapes standards. Which is a huge shame because the animated textures and Leaves are such a nice look.

So many capes in the game have better shapes and even leaves attached to them(Leaves like what solite and lunite capes imply are there, but are just a flat texture). Would be nice if Solite and Lunite could get the same sort of look so they'd be more desirable to use over other capes.

The way they look currently don't justify the price to get them. It's a solid piece of geometry that looks completely two dimensional with no trail- so peoples disinterest in them is understandable. So a redesign for those capes would be really nice, and would make them more sought after when another re-release comes around.

I really like the Lunite armour and cape. I mean the white with the blue scales and the violet purple leaves. It's so beautiful. What I wonder is, why aren't they using it for merch. Like make a lunite t-shirt with the moon of the cape on your left shoulder, the tree leaves under it and the blue and white scales on the back. Runeschape, you're missing out on some serious fashion hahah. Make it happen!
