With the new shroud from quest kinda seem everyone must have it to increase avoidance. This renders other cloaks ingame obsolete. Maybe you should allow people to extract patterns from cloaks so we dont all wear/look the same .
I'd rather see some craftable cloaks instead. That way tailors could masterwork them for better bonuses. Then we can put patterns on those cloaks!
The problem would be fixed more easily if every cloak had the same bonus as the shroud. Honestly, I don't think that applying a pattern on a quest item like the shroud would be a proper solution. Simply, because you wouldn't be able to get it back to its initial appearance with the way the system works currently. Also, it would be great if some sort of tiny enchantments/MW like "light", "night vision", "aggro modifier" could be added to the cloaks / "carry capacity bonus" on backpack / "save arrows" or "arrow weight reduction" on quivers while crafting. One could also imagine a tiny "armor decay reduction bonus" for those.
