Vanity system feels more complex than it needs to be...

I think they are trying to add value to crafting classes. This is a good thing. Maybe not for the glamours but for the whole game. The gil involved kinda threw me back too.

It might make me use the system less than I otherwise would have done.

I just looked and the prices on my server are still ridiculous. Honestly, this is one of those times when I can't wait until RMT gets involved and crashes the market on these. At present, if I went with my plan of wearing the Bohemian set with my Pug until level 50, it would probably cost me over 100K.... SE giving complete control over this system to crafters was a horrible idea.

Crash and burn market.... crash and burn.

I just bought prisms for 12k and changed all my gear it was pretty simple.
This is my myth/allagan gear set

Acolyte Robe
Mythril Spectacles (changed after this picture)
Demagouge Pants
Woolen Dress Shoes
Cactuar earrings (not pictured I did it after)
Acolyte Gloves

It's the ui information needed for the "simple" system people want that causes the memory issue.

You can, just SE won't, they could just say due to the PS3s limitations, the Glamour system can only be accessed through the PC or PS4 version.

If players had such a big issue with that then they could either upgrade to a PS4 or PC.

I agree with everyone who thinks this system is overly complicated, took quite awhile to figure out how to finally glamour everything. Wish they would at least allow higher level prisms to be used in stead of the lower ones.

I think this system is easy and simple. I love it. (I am a crafter)

In terms of pricing, that varies in the servers. My server, prices are reasonable, maybe you have to wait a day or two for them to be lowered. 3 - 4k for regular prisms, 5 - 8k for popular prisms...

Just be patient if you can't afford it right away, or shout in a big city " Looking for crafter, needx grade prism. Will Tip."
You may be surprised not all crafters are as greedy as some may think, especially when confronted and not hiding behind the market board.

We are players too.

I originally sold my prisms for 3k each, they were flying off the retainers. So, i kept increasing the price until it was steady, its simply supply and demand. Then other crafters moved in and prices stabilized.

In regards to this being a complicated system, I disagree. Just read the level of the item, the prism level and match.

Maybe when they dump PS3 support, they'll revamp the vanity system to be actually reasonable... maybe.

The vanity system is definitely way to cumbersome for something that should be a simple drag-and-drop. They really should have just added a separate tab for your character's appearance.

The prices are only now high. It is the first week/new stuff price. Who expected normal prices on day one expected too much. Give it time and it go down to 500-600 gil.
Or level up a crafter or ask friends

Only if it still involve crafters. SE did the vanity system with crafters in mind, after all.

I was originally planning on glamoring everything, but now that I've seen the system...well, luckily my outfit ended up looking super cute with only one glamored item. And I think I bought it for 5K, which wasn't too bad imo. I was mostly just bummed that I couldn't use the one I got for free because the shirt I wanted to look like was level 20-something.

Also annoyed that culinarians don't get to partake. It's the only craft I've been leveling anywhere near 50.
