I've mentioned before that I thought the idea of skins for shields using the symbols of the Houses and Planes would be a simple quick solution for more diverse shields in the game. I think some one else suggested armor and shield skins as a rewards for House Favor.

Both are great suggestions, /signed every time they come up. Say 400 House favor for your choice House Armor Skin or House Shield Skin (BTC of course). Unfortunately, most factions do not have enough quests/favor to set this up yet. It would be limited to Silver Flame, Coin Lords, and Free Agents at the moment, with House Kundarak, House Phiarlan, and The Twelve not being too far away if say a single high level adventure pack with 4-5 quests were added for each. The Silver Flame and Coin Lords should be easy to implement armor & shield skins. There is already armor and shields for the Silver Flame from the Silver Flame Nugget turn-in. I could see a cleric or favored soul wanting that skin on some epic gear or even dragon touched. The Coin Lords have their uniforms in the Lordsmarch plaza to emmulate. I have no idea what an armor/shield skin for the Free Agents would turn-out to be, journalist? rogue-ish? sewer-sweeper? ;P
