Can we get rid of prisms please?

What will make the system more accessible is something like multiple glamouring on the gear that is more linked to the job than to the gear. On that the devs should spend time, not on the prism.

That depends on what removing prisms is replaced with, for how accessible. I think the system should not be a consumable item, and I definitely don't think it should be locked behind crafting.

Basically, a merged system of Wildstar and WoW would be perfect. Unlocked glamours, costumes applied to character not armor, apply at an NPC.

I don't see the issue of it being a crafted item, since they're relatively easy to just quicksynth. I do think the books should be unlockable at the recipe level of the prisms, which would be level 30.

A good idea would be turning the prisms into currency, similar to how transmutation charges work in GW2. You get the transmutation charge (or in this case, a specific prism), and use it to add it to your currency tab. That way, it'd be easy to stock up on prisms without them taking up inventory space.

I also don't think costumes applying to character would work in XIV, due to the ability to swap between jobs (unlike Wildstar or WoW), costumes applying to job would be better.

so what some of u guys are sayin u like the idea of goin to the market board every time u wana glam ur gear im not following that at all its an inconvenience, be much easier to have a flat fee of gil to change ur gear any time u wanted it would be so simple

I find it sad that with so many 'cosmetic' systems around to take as models SE decided on what I think it the worst I've seen, hell, even FFXI is better!

Books? It's not about how easy it is with crafting, it's just an unnecessary inconvenience. It works, but the systems in all of FFXIV's competitors do not require it and they are better experiences.

You can simply have the costumes applying to gearsets. This was my intention, but used the term character due to defining it how it's done specifically in Wildstar.

I think your currency wallet idea is pretty good, but that idea needs to be applied to much more than prisms (all the various tokens we keep collecting, for example).

Right now, I can glamour anything I want for free, or for the joke price of 4 allied seals. Your proposed 'change' involves me, personally, losing 2k+ of my Gil per glamour. Considering each piece I equip is glamoured, you're proposing to charge me 100K Gil everytime I upgrade my jobs equipment. No thnx, I like saving my money.

How would it be simpler? Basing this assumption from what's been implemented in game already (ie materia melders) you'd have to run over to an NPC to get glamoured up. Sorry but that's sounds like more of an inconvenience than buying from MB/crafting your own.

how would u have to run to an npc if u paid a thosand dollars in gil , im sayin do it urself nothgin involving anything else its the same knda system swtor uses its so much easier than what this game has

And where is the gil going to? Who is performing the glamour changes for you?


And I don't need to run to a MB to get prisms when I can easily craft my own. The dungeons practically give you the base ones for free and you can buy them in more donuts.
