Why do luxury items tank attire score?
Something feels really wrong.

Pretty straightforward question: Why do luxury items lower your attire score?

I haven't found a single one that even keeps attire score at the same level! We're paying to flaunt status, so… why do we lose status? Are luxury items actually super-low class to be seen with?

Rolexes, rings, radbanes...

Are we just not buying expensive-enough ones? What gives?

Tailored luxury items that overlap things like rings are ok? (If using the proper materials.)

Johnny,

If that were true, items like rad-banes and rings wouldn't -tank- your attire score, but they do.

Conversely, I have made single slot items that actually accentuate the attire score. It is my belief that there -may- be a mechanical issue worth looking into here.

Luxuries definitely raise the quality of an outfit that determines the shortdesc (sometimes substantially), but there are different qualities to player-made clothing that don't always apply to luxuries which I suspect is why they sometimes seem to add 'lesser' descriptors to the 'overall their clothing is…' line.

Just my experience from testing.
