Prismatic Gorget/Obi/Belt...inventory +7/14/21

And if SE needs more incentive, it will cut down the gap between 3rd party tool gear swappers and the rest of us.

lol? I wasn't aware you needed 3rd party tools to swap staves. And even if they did add some magical rainbow staff, you'd still end up swapping them on mage jobs (terra for -pdt, pluto for hMP, etc).

I don't think they would combine all 8, but I could see reducing them down to 2 items. A light aligned and dark aligned version, 4 elements on each.

They don't really need to combine them you could just trade all 8 for one ultimate one that does it all.

if thay want to keep situational gear this would be the best way i could think of doing it
but thay would also have to keep the names different for each staff i.e. for magic att stave's use something like light stave 1 and dark stave 1 for acc stave's use light stave 2 and dark stave 2 or something like that

it could be something like how the stave's are made
put Fire/Wind/Lightning/Light stave's/obi/belts/gorgets together and put Ice/Earth/Water/Dark stave's/obi/belts/gorgets together(of corse thay would still be stave's/obi/belts/gorgets)

then there could be a way to put all of them together in to Prismatic items (or what ever you would call them)

Should just do what the OP said and combine everything within slots. Elimination of negative effects and inventory consolidation would be the rewards for collecting 8 of each. Sounds fair!

We all want it, but I'm gonna have to be the pathetic naysayer who tells you that we're not going to get it.

SE loves situational gear and excessive need for inventory space they can't give. I'd settle for something slightly less good that was universal, but it doesn't even seem like we'll get that.

You don't have to be the naysayer; Square has demonstrated time and time again that they do not need our help in saying the word "no" to us repeatedly and in big, bold letters.

When someone comes in and rains on a perfectly justifiable parade, that just gives the Devs the excuse that the community isn't behind an idea so there is no reason to bother, it is a self-defeating attitude. I am not saying that if everyone is super-supportive and puts on fake smiles that they will do something, but saying "no they won't" doesn't help anyone. If you absolutely cannot resist the urge to rain on someone's perfectly justifiable parade, at least phrase it differently, such as "With the Dev team's love of inventory-clogging situational gear I doubt they would do this, but it would be really awesome if they did."

[SpankWustler]

Yes. Please. Do this. Combine stuff. Combine all the things! I want my belts and stuff to happily form Voltron and spare my inventory.

It could be seen as a reward for collecting all eight in the case of the things that enhance weaponskills, because I'm sure nobody sane keeps all eight gorgets and belts around just for rainbow symmetry.

Idealism and pessimism coming together beautifully like a swirled vanilla and chocolate cone of soft-serve. This post made me hungry.

i'd be fine if the combined pieces still had penalties to some degree aka casting fire magic on waters day with prism obi = negative effect, imagine that'd be harder to accomplish with a prism staff.

[Neisan_Quetz]

Why would there be a negative effect on a combined item that didn't exist on the originals? In regards to Obis at least, Elemental staves without negative effects would be super cool but with how SE did elemental magic affinity I'm not sure how that would wor.

When someone comes in and rains on a perfectly justifiable parade,

it's not really a justiviable parade. We've been asking for it for years. we're not ever going to get it because SE is not going to make the game less situational gear-based. In fact, it's only gotten worse with time. So what makes you think this thread is going to be THE one where SE actually listens? ...

All I'm doing is letting you know it's an unrealistic expectation. They're not going to do it.

[Nala]

oh hi, when did SE hire you as a comunity rep? oh... they didn't did they, even you can't argue that this is something thats needed, and its not your call to say no on it.

We've been asking for it for years doesn't mean we have to stop, with enough responses and support it may actually get some dev team attention, they at least bothered to mention something about a prism staff a while back which is more then anyone would have expected, mind you no new update on that so far /sigh.

Not that it would have much use for a fully geared nuking build, only thing it'd save inventory on is for Macc purposes and if made an all jobs staff would be more beneficial to non mages.

Elemental staffs did have a negative effect if you have the wrong staff to element equipped, not sure what i was thinking when i posted about the obi's i ended up passing out in my chair shortly afterwords so i blame fatigue or something.
