What is "DBing your costume"?

Want to wear that sassy Sibyl's toga dress from Cimmoria? How about Mother Mayham's badass trenchcoat? Or Positron's helmet? What about making yourself look like a 5th Column Vampyr? Welcome to the magical world of DBing your costume.

What people are calling "DBing" let's you wear costume parts that you don't have access as a normal player in ParagonChat. That's because these costume parts are historically restricted to NPCs and the CoX devs. You can't access them with an ordinary visit to the tailor.

This guide, aimed at being the be-all and end-all idiot-proof solution to DBing, will walk you through the entire process of designing your costume in Icon.exe, and importing your new DB'd costume into ParagonChat using Jerrichas.

* Sorry guys, I originally wrote this whole guide in Github markdown, thinking that I could just convert it to BBCode. But CohTitan uses a very special version of BBcode.. anyway, figure that out later. Meantime, read it on Github, reply here!

Well... this looks like a pretty comprehensive manual for someone like who demands that people write manuals for their software rather than expecting us to figure it out for ourselves. I still don't know when I'll get around to it, but it seems pretty full proof.

This has made my life infinitely easier - Trying to do it line by line was tiring!

Best hint I've found so far - want a total NPC costume, but love your scales? Import the whole thing under the cherry pick mode.

<3 Jerricha you da best.
