Changing glamour to set-based instead of individual gear property
As of now, the glamour system works in such a way that it's being tied to an individual piece of gear similar to how color dyes work. This leads to what I believe, causes the issue where vanity gear occupying more slots than the based gear fail to work.
I'm proposing for a new system where we can get two set of gears per gear set, where:
Based gear set (just like how gear set works currently)
Vanity gear set (glamour overlay)
So it works like this:
The based gear set works just like what we have now, you equip appropriate gear based on your current class/job and level, multiple slots gear lock out the corresponding slot (e.g cowl will lock up the head slot).
The vanity gear set works similarly, multiple slots gear locking out corresponding slots, and there will be additional checking conditions such as matching between the based gear and vanity gear types and equipment levels.
Changing glamour to set-based instead of individual gear property
The catch here is, the vanity gear are supposed to be overlay on top of the based gear as a set and not as individual gear piece. Hence the number of slots occupied does not have to be the same, making it possible to use multiple slot gears like Odin's Herklaedi for vanity.
Changing glamour to set-based instead of individual gear property
Fine details are as follows:- Vanity gear and based gear doesn't have to occupy the same number of slots as long as all the gear type and equipment level matched
- Respective vanity gear(s) will be unequipped (with or without notice) if there are any conflict from new changes on based gear set.
eg. DL Cowl (based) > Healer's Robe (vanity)
*player change DL Cowl (e.lvl 50) to Glacial Coat (e.lvl 1)
Healer's Robe (vanity) will be removed since the based-vanity condition wasn't met
- Any empty vanity slot will retain the same look as the based gear
- Vanity gear set can be toggle on and off like head gear and main weapon
- Vanity gear set are tied together with based gear set as the gear set are saved
- Glamour prism will only be required only when there are changes on the vanity gear set, no prism are required for any changes on the based gear set
