One of the most commonly asked question from first year students is always "How do I get to see my robes? They don't show up!". Someone then has to explain to them that they were given gear and gear doesn't show up! I have given 100+ pairs of robes to confused players because of this issue.
It really doesn't make sense why there isn't an additional step in the first year quests when you are walking through Diagonal Lane that explains the class robes cosmetic items to a player. You are given gear from an NPC who normally sells cosmetic robes in the first place... New players want to start their years off wearing their class robes but they are "locked" behind returning to diagonal lane or stumbling upon the unmarked robe store in Hogsend.
I highly suggest giving players the plain class robes that they can dye themselves once sorted at Hogsworth.
