With dyable AF gear, it's time to revisit the Glamour Plate limitations

One of the most anticipated changes to the glamour system was the ability to glamour different jobs within a role. It's one thing I think almost everyone has asked for at some point. We have these beautiful AF sets (crafting and gathering included) that barely anyone uses because the design of this game promotes playing multiple classes... multiple classes that share one glamour.

While the current system offers an extremely clunky solution (assign a macro to a gearset to manually change the glamour plate every time you switch jobs) this isn't ideal for controller players or people who don't want to clutter their UI with gearset macros. Also, of course this only works in main cities.

I've got my mains Eureka set for future BiS and stat purposes and I'd love to go farm the rest of the dyable AF but I don't want to have to choose one healer / one caster / one tank set when I play quite a few of them regularly :(

Honestly, I don't know enough about SE backend systems nor am I going to speculate on them in order to propose a viable solution.

People have suggest assigning glamour plates to job stones which sounds like a solution to me. OR give existing gear 2 or 3 glamour options.

Is anyone else as frustrated as I am wanting to farm the Eureka AF sets?

I would highly advise against turning those Anemos armor sets into glamour plates unless you want to regrind 3000 Protean Crystals plus 750 Anemos Crystals all over again when the next relic step comes around.

Basically this. That being said, they said they would look into adding more plates as time went on. That could be anywhere from the next patch to 4 years from now.

More plates would be nice sure, but its the limitation of not having plates assign to jobs that I'm posting about. All the healer sets are particularly pretty.

And they'll nerf those crystals, eventually. I'm in no rush.

Would would you throw your AF to your glam toilet? o.o

Not at this point where it still gets deleted. BUT if the plates could be used to have separate glamours for each job then I would definitely take the Glamour Toilet a lot more seriously as a usable system.

Well I want it to be craftable already so I can place it at home then perhaps I'll use it... I'm to lazy to walk to a inn.

What should be asked out of the devs is to enable the armoire to store the AF gear, much like lvl 50 set.

That way, not only can you use to edit glam plates but when the time comes to use it as part of the next relic quest, the gear can be safely removed.

Further edit: Idealistically, you'd just have this gargantuan sized armoire that lets you store a maximum of one piece of every gear that's in the game. Unfortunately, the limits just seem to catch up with the age of the game and it feels like its heading to a point where every QoL addition seems like a struggle for SE.

1. Need many more plates!!!
2. You should be able to add items you have to a plate without "glamourizing" them.
3. Why can I put my level 45/50 set in the armoire but not the recolored 50 set I get in the box form the level 50 job class?
4. The whole system is convoluted, take some hints from other games.

They've already stated they're currently looking at expanding different aspects of the Dresser, their last interaction about it was asking whether we'd like to use it in more places or have more plates.
