So will Glamours Require Crafting?

Please look forward to it(tm).

I'm hoping the "prisms" are something that crafters can make and sell. They would be equipped into a new character "slot" (and held in a new armoury tab specifically for the prisms) and can hold the images of a particular outfit you want. Essentially, modular wardrobe tabs.

But that would make the vanity system actually worthwhile, so I somehow doubt Squee will implement it like that.

would be beautiful if they did that

Would be nice if you could equip cross-class clothing as well.

I want to tank in a robe!

Unless you can point to that being official, I think it's more likely to be like gear dying.
Dyes can be crafted, so it's not farfetched to believe it will work LIKE a dye.

Not at all what many were hoping for. IF it would help the crafters be relevant of course THAT would be awesome, but I have severe doubts it will.

Why not just a simple extra slot and various 'costume' sets available? Why do we have to, HAVE to get yet another time-sink? We'd just like some reasonable number of options to look DIFFERENT than the other 99 people in every area we go to. Not to mention the people who enjoy r-p. Simple vanity gear requests; another ignore.

Is that based on you thinking that anyone that wants to use vanity gear also have to have a craft levelled?
There's no way that's going to happen.
Crafters will be relevant to make vanity gear, and MAY be required to apply them to equipment, like melds, but it's more likely to be like a dye.
That way crafters stay relevant as suppliers of vanity gear, and you don't need a craft class levelled just to be able to use it.

while it is probably just wishful thinking I'm still hoping this is what the Glamour(Vanity) system will be. unfortunately till they give us more details we are just grasping at straws

My hope is that Glamour will include all those nifty clothes you see on NPCs EVERYWHERE. I'm not talking about the RSE smallclothes, though being able to 'wear' Highlander RSE smallclothes will probably be high on alot of mi'qote lists. I mean those fancy outfits in Ul'dah, the wench dresses you see here and there, so on, so forth.
