High Allagan Accessories - color issue

So, I don't mind the design of the high allagan accessories, but I do have an issue and it is somewhat annoying to me at least. Does anyone else find it annoying that 2 of the sets have the same freaking color?

I do drg and warrior, and I would love to be able to tell which accessory is fending or slaying by simply looking at the color. The current design is lazy and I doubt there is a "reasonable" excuse for this. If it is some type of engine limitation ... then wow.

Currently High Allagan:
Yellow = Slaying & Fending
Light Blue = Healing and Aiming
Red = Casting

Coil 1:
Purple = maiming and casting
yellow = fending and striking
light blue = aiming and healing


Proposal:
Yellow = Fending
Purple = Slaying
Light Blue = Healing
Green = Aiming
Red = Casting

This way we get the benefit of having unique colors for each category. Which class gets what color is somewhat irrelevant to me; I just want the colors to be different.

Yeah, although I'm not as fortunate as some having multiple High Allagan accessories :P I used to hate this with First Coil accessories. Even to this day I'll end up with a Casting ring on instead of Maiming sometimes when switching gear around -_-

Think it should just go back to the original gems from the pre-50 Rings. This includes ALL accessories, not just High Allagan.

Purple - Aiming
Yellow - Fending
Blue - Healing
White - Casting
Red - Striking/Maiming/Slaying(melee)

Ya I wouldn't mind that, but I think the reason why they changed them is so that the accessories would have a glow to them.

High Allagan has a glow to it? I wouldn't know, haven't bothered to seriously try to down T5(more of a "don't care" than a "can't pass"), and the few people I have seen in 100% High Allagan you couldn't see the accessories.

I'd rather just be able to tell the stat/class/job just by looking at the accessory. All the Heros accessories are all black, etc etc.

I propose they are dyeable, then you can have whatever glow stick accessories you like.

Please? :3

So..kinda?

Same goes for a lot in this game. The gear design really comes of lazy.

I mean, when HA fending boots and the MNK boots have the exact same feet design... I could go on and on about this starting at low lvl gear or more jobs that share designs.

It seems like the ps3 is holding us back! xD

but...but...what about the colorblind people?

what drugs are you on? tank and mnk boots, have little in common...
but mnk/brd sol gear, HA brd/caster and HA drg/mnk gear, are basically the same, except color

Yes please. On the other hand, you can just glamor over whatever color of accessory you want now.

I agree. I probably did over 100 runs using striking earnings on my paladin before I realized that they weren't actually fending earrings... :X /derp

That glamour doesn't help with the icon being a different color.

i'm more annoyed that the accessory color doesn't match the gear color.

why make the casting accesories red, even though the actual gear is purple

Tell that to BLMs :p

I didn't want to create a new thread so I'm just bringing this back up to the surface.

Apparently the new jewelry SE is able to use different color stones for each main stat. However, still allagan/high allagan don't? Come on now this is pretty bad, not like the colors match the gear in coil anyways. Why not have the colors from the coil jewelry match those stones (still have the glow though)
