Craftable bardings

I think this would be a very cool addition to the game.

I mean it kind of makes sense that crafters can make them anyways.
It would be cool to be able to dye them aswell.

Everyone likes to be unique and this would be a great way to add some diversity to the barding's.

It would also be good for the economies.

Any support for this?

Errrrr.... How to say that without being harsh.....

There are already two bardings that are crafted out, Levin and Tidal barding

He means more bardings.

I meant more, like regular barding. Like leather, steel, stuff like that that we don't have.

And the material will be gain via (some)EX raid, with the perfect RNG dropping 1% (but more like 0.001%), and sells on the market for 2.5M gil.

Oh, did I forget to mention you will need 2 pcs to make the barding?

BTW: Levin Orb = 700K, and barding? 1.2M ... And does it make your Chocobo any stronger? Heck no.

Generally what I was thinking was more medium level craft able barding, that come in different styles and shapes.
Like an aldgoat leather barding, or steel barding, mythril barding would be cool.

I mean it doesn't affect the stats of the Chocobo, so why not give us more customisation.

Adding a lot more mix and match options for barding choices making more unique looking Chocobo's to go with all the unique colours.
I am not saying they have to be as fancy as the ones made from primal droppings either.

But also dyable, that would add a lot to our choices.

I would rather they add some stuff that actually matters before adding more cosmetic junk.

Your positive thoughts are cute but you have seen what it takes to make the sailor or pajama outfits, right? :P

I am all for vanity items (i have quite the collection), but there are a lot of issues with the game that need attention still that should take priority. They have mentioned combat system adjustments coming in 3.0 which is encouraging to hear... but I am hoping a lot more will be addressed before then or at least at the same time. I could list many things but this is not the thread for that. :3

lmao people are pretty negative, wow.
basically what I am getting is "If they implement this, it will be horrible so stfu"

Yes some there things do need adjustments in the game, but that doesn't mean we can't express our hopes for new items.

I also don't believe that its guaranteed, if implemented they will make it so hard to complete that it will just become another ex primal barding set.
I think It can be done right, maybe I am optimistic,
But someone has to be.

That's right. Sorry. I was thinking the Spring Dress.

I wholeheartedly agree that we need some crafted barding that can be dyed as well. With the ability to change your choco's colour, I find that the existing barding is too busy and doesn't work well visually. More variety and simple design is needed. It's interesting to note that the most common glamour pieces are "simple" gear, like leather sandals, etc. that can be used to create an outfit and not just overwhelm the design. Same is likely true for barding as well.

As for the argument that there are "more important" things to focus development on, that could be said of ANY change that doesn't address your favorite pet peeve. That argument could have been made against all glamours and choco dying because it doesn't add to your raid awesomeness. Changes that promote individual identity and esthetic are great imo.

Well hold on now. There's a rather big difference between saying that Squeenix should "focus on raid content and stop pandering to these scrub casual n00bl0rds" and saying that "hey, there are some core gameplay issues that have been around for a while, I think Square should focus on fixing problems with the actual game before dangling shiny things". I mean, when companies focus on shiny things to the exclusion of significant bugs and issues impacting player enjoyment across the board, you get Nexon, and -nobody- wants that.
