[Glamours]Item Duplicate System

hello. i think there are many people who have level 50's. and i think many of those players don't enjoy every other class/job looking exactly the same. and we can't even put the extra time or effort to get a secondary set, because they are unique.

now this is just a small idea. and could use more constructiveness. but i thought maybe a system to allow us to duplicate the gear of our choice. the new item wouldn't have any unique style applied to it. just something basic or common. however it would have all of the original stats. and gear with materia either can't be duplicated or the materia simply won't duplicate.

and of course duplicated gear can't be NPC'ed or traded for seals of any kind or converted. only discarded.



the new items could come plain. like with a common style and not be unique. this way we can add whatever glamour. and even re-use the item by removing the glamour.
-OR-
the item can have its appearance combined during the duplication process. which means we can't dis-spell the glamour and would have to duplicate again for a new style.

I think you are trying to say that you want to be able to glamour your SCH one way and your WHM another, but you can't because the both have the same "base item" in your inventory.

If that is what you are getting at, I agree something should be done.

One solution: glamour could be over gear slots and not over the armor itself. You'd have two character equipment screens available. One for the actual gear, and one with slots for the glamoured gear. In the "glamour screen" - you could drag/drop whatever you want glamoured into that slot. The server would then link up the "actual gear" to the "glamour item." Switch between SCH and WHM? Two different glamour sets. Switch between PLD and WAR or BLM and SMN? Different set for each.

If they insist on including this "Grade 5 Goldsmithing Prism" thing, they could require it when you drop the item into the glamour slot.

mmm DPS Guy, I like that! Glamouring the slot insead of the equipment. The only problem is when you get new gear we'd need a wa to turn the glamour condition off to see ourselves wearing the real gear to see what it looks like >_>

i think when applying the glamour you could select from a list of currently available gear sets that the galmour will always be applied to. it will default its selection to no gear set. and the item glamour could be seen even if you don't assign a gear set.


we glamour the item as normal. then choose a gear set to apply the glamour to. the item is still glamoured and will appear so even not used with the assigned gear set. so glamour is driectly attached to that gear set.

however i think the system will be rather difficult to implement. first we got to make sure BRD's don't start imitating MNK's and such. then we have to make sure we don't make glamour dis-spellers or other prism's obsolete, or even less used.


all-in-all if they can manage a gear set specific system, i think this will be best. but i think it will be much easier to simply duplicate the gear in to a non-unique form. however, while duplicating would be easier, it will take more armory space. unless they make it so gear set items are stored somewhere the eye can't see. or maybe a new storage container for duplicated items.

I have read this suggestion on another post before.

TBH, I think it would change the whole system like some games which consist of "dressing" + "gears".
At the beginning, you need to obtain the gear to unlock the relative dressing,
eventually, unique dressing would be available thru moggle station. ^^;

In short, I don't object it but I will consider it as a replacement but not an improvement to the current glamour system.

SE could fix this easily well maybe not coding wise, but they could add something like Grade 4 Cloth ACN/THM Glamour Prism which could work to identify as well assign glamour to certain jobs or Two Slotted Glamour Prism and then add Glamour Gems to fuse to them call them like ACN Gem or SMN gem

It was not an easy fix?? ^^; I feel this suggestion is not workable.

How about make the whole glamour reverse?
Currently we copy the "image" to a gear, so we make a gear display as another gear.
Reverse means, we copy the "stats" to a gear, so make a gear has same "stats" as another gear.
then you can have both your WHM AF and SCH AF copied your HA-body "stats", and more exciting is you don't need to keep the HA-body.
