[ Idea ] Stat Transfer System

[Kristal]

I don't think you could limit it to iconic gear. I'm sure someone out there's been wanting to wear full homam or that nicely-designed Amir set that has gone entirely to waste because of its stats. I suggested something similar through the evolith revamp I proposed, but costume slots work...kinda. I'm just not fond of them because it falls into the "a wizard did it" reasoning instead of being part of the "natural" game.

Players CAN wear iconic gear... or an iron subligar for all I care. (Please don't!)
As for, 'a wizard did it'... how would you explain people switching entire full plate armor sets for another set in the blink of an eye, or them turning into pink mandragoras right in front of you, without magic?

Costume slots would have the advantage that it works for any job, no conflicts with existing gear, and you can have different sets for different jobs.

But if costume slots aren't your thing, wouldn't it be easier to move the VISUAL appearance to the STAT piece, instead of the STATS to the VISUAL piece? Visuals can be referenced by a single data value, and could be applied as an augment. No problem with job restrictions either.

Chersos Helm would remain the same, but with an extra line where a signature would normally be.
