It are no hard at all. At best it are only 3 kills. At worst it are 15. Most people have linkshell for world boss, so no need for do camp for them.

Goodbye to Malevolent Mogwand also, as the WHM Relic is a two-handed weapon :(

Mogwand can still be used cos they both occupy one slot of your weapon. You just can't equip a shield.

From what I've read, you can glamour items as long as they take the same number of gear slots. So, you can glamour Odin's helmet, but not the chestpiece? What's the point of implementing the chestpiece in the first place if it's not gonna be used as a set. It'd look pretty ridiculous flaunting Odin's helmet while wearing a coliseum galerus for example. D:

I'd be okay with it if the time spent to acquire Odin's full armor/weapon set was proportional to its use(meaning we can actually use it actively after getting it), but it's not. It was clearly designed for glamour and for it to be outdated easily, combat wise, yet it'll just sit there in everyone's armory chest. As it stands, the chestpiece serves little to no purpose in combat or glamour. It's only use I can think of is pretty much posing in front of the market bell while I sell stuff.

I hate the multi-slot gear pieces. SE should have just made pieces that cover other slots just hide the piece of gear instead of dissallowing it to be equipped.

Im really disappointed honestly. my whole reason in getting that gear was for vanity b/c it looks soooo badass. But at least I'll be able to use that sword! Man that sword....sexy.

I bet almost everyone is going to be running around in bikinis. Sucks for the tanks and healers that can't mirage prism their way out of the tin can.

Taking Odin gear for example, its equipped on the body slot but takes up the hands, feet, and leg slots. Make it so that if you mirror the Odin armor on a body piece, that it "turns off" / takes priority over the appearance of the slots it usually covers even though you have things equipped in those slots.

This would also allow things like darklight robe and darklight tank pants to be compatible with the vanity system.

This is what I was thinking... and what should happen at the very least but due to the distinct guidelines I don't foresee this happening.

Yep think this new feature is too limited. Not happy with this solution.

I hope you're right! Otherwise I'll get Leviatan's drop and use that with malevolent mogwand :P

Since we can't wear the odin armor for glamours it seems we also may not be able to wear our ghost costume.
