So why don't you glamor your gear

Personally, ever since I unlocked glamoring my stuff, I've pretty much done it non-stop. I pass by a lot of people who apparently like looking ugly the traditional look of the armor and haven't glamored a single piece, which seems absurd to me. I like having all my active jobs be glamored at all times. I mean, sometimes I do end up liking an armor set and I won't glamor it, but most of the time SOMETHING needs to be glamored in order to look nice as a whole.

But, hey, to each their own. I'm just curious why someone WOULDN'T glamor their stuff.

Too poor? Like the Ironworks/soldiery awkward matching look? Not your main job? So, what's your reason?


(This isn't to complain about the glamor system/ask for improvments/etc.)

Not everyone gives a damn what they look like.

I haven't unlocked glamour yet >_>

I don't for several reasons.

1. I am in the mindset where, for example, if you don't want to display your helm, take it off. But then you don't get the stats, well, because you took it off.

2. Will play any and all jobs at any point in time. I am not going to glamour every single Job I have.

3. Not going to keep glamouring every single time I get an upgraded item.

4. Some jobs share armour sets. PLD and WAR, cannot glamour each one to look different, or to say make them look like their ilvl 90 iconic Job look.

5. The only thing that I REALLY REALLY hated so far, was the I think Noct tank helm, that look like the laurel leafy Greece thing. But even then I stuck with it. First Ironworks gear I purchased? The helm, to replace ugly.

6. Not coordinated or care enough to find an entire outfit that I really like that goes well together. I may like those boots, or that helm, separately, but don't go well together.

7. If I did ever end up doing Glamour, I probably would just glamour everything to look like the level 1 Lalafell outfit. So that, it is just me, my clothes, and my weapon, no matter what I am doing. No "gear swaps" per say.

8. Too damn cheap and lazy to do it.

too expensive and rather save gil for other much needed things, and I'm happy with what my current armor/weapons look like that I hardly need to change anything. :D

Because I like the look of some gear, not everything needs to be glamoured.

I don't have my current armor glamoured because I like the poetics set. (And because I can't afford the Kirimu Boots of Healing *grumble grumble*)

Also glamour restrictions. So many things that I'd love to glamour but can't. :(

2) they may like the original look
3) they don't want to spent stupid amount of gil for glamour
4) they didn't drop the gear they want to glamour yet
5) (female) unglamored is way more original than the 80% glamoring wedding drees or swimsuits

I honestly don't care about glamour. The only exception to that is the early subligar that looks like you have no pants on. Other things draw me to this game, not the look of my gear

I usually have my gear glamoured with the Serpent Elite Gear because it best suits my personality. But, whenever i’m gearing up my class with the latest gear from the patch, i tend to keep that look until i get the complete set.

For instance, right now i’m collecting the Demon Set of Healing for my White Mage. I like the look of it, so i’m keeping it until i get the whole set. Then i’ll most likely go back to the Serpent Elite look i had going for it:

This is currently the look i’m sporting for my Paladin:

I also don’t really glamour the gear i use when leveling a class, since i won’t be wearing it for a long time anyway. Although, i’ve made some HQ Goatskin gear for my Rogue and even though it looks “simple”, it doesn’t look bad at all. (^_^ )
