Eye patches for all?

Quote:

---

Q22: Are there any plans to remove restrictions on the glamour system (unable to glamour gear that the job/class cannot equip)?

A22: Unfortunately, there’s a certain image that we would like to sustain for FINAL FANTASY XIV. We feel that it would confuse the new players if they see casters in heavy armor and tanks in mage gear.

However, if there’s any specific gear you would like to glamour, we will consider those requests individually so please request them through our official forums.

Since eye patches don't really break the look or immersion of any specific role, could you please make them equip-able by all classes, at least for the white rarity ones? As an addendum to this, could you also remove class restrictions for all eye wear that's of white rarity?

I'm totally down with you on this idea short stuff! SMASH!

I was actually just about to post this. I also would like all eyepatches to be made available for all classes... I like to use an eyepatch as part of my "character", but they aren't available to mages so.... yeah. Please do this.

If you're interested, healers get to have the Pilgrim's Eyepatch, from Brayflox HM, Amdapor City and Halatali HM.

But yes, eyepatches across all the classes would be neat to have.

I can get behind a simple request like this. I think there should be some special consideration for head pieces that can be classified as eye wear. (Glasses/Eye Patches/Masks)

Your wish was heard

http://xivdb.com/?item/9291/Gryphonskin-Eyepatch

I support this. I'd like to see eye patches and monocles be made wearable by all classes/jobs. I'd also like if there was a toggle feature to switch which side of the face they appear on. (I thought we got our wish with the gryphonskin eyepatch but it appears on the wrong side of my character's face. His scar is on the other eye lol.)

While that's a nice start, it covers the other eye, and is only one style. My personal experience with that style of eye patch is that it's so large it clips through almost any hairstyle with long bangs. Plus if you look at the crafting requirements, it's quite difficult and expensive to make.

About the expensive part, that is not expensive at all, they are all cheap material if you farm them yourself

The materials for the hard hippogryph leather and the darksteel ingot can be obtained with GC seals. Raptor sinew is easily farmed. A Fieldcraft II demimateria can be picked up on the market board for 2-4k. So can twinthread if you can't make it. The difficulty on the item is two-star which overall is very easy to put together now, especially since it's a glamour item and therefore does not need to be high quality. It's really not difficult/expensive to make at all.

Unlocking the demimateria book + melds required to get there make it expensive, and as i've already dropped 2M gil on crafting melds just to hq recipes from goldsmith and blacksmith demimatiera books, that'd be another 1M to meld my leatherworker. Yes I know plenty of you have 4 star crafters, good job, still doesn't change request that we'd like eyepatches and other eye wear available for all classes, the gryphonskin eyepatch was added as more of a request for a right eye patches than for an all class glamour.

I would like to see the source for that, and I prefer that you stick with your original request/complain, because atm you are trying to find more and more reason to complain rather than stick with your original request/complain. First you ask for all class eye patch and you got a link refer to one and now you complain about expensive and player refer to you the craft is cheap. If you cannot make it yourself, go a head and buy craft, it is far cheap than the 1kk meld you claim

We sea that players would like the option to switch which eye their eye patches cover, aye!

While it might not be possible to address all of the items that have been implemented thus far, we will be looking into whether we can address this in some way, which includes addressing it through the /visor command.

Pretty exciting information, aye?

Players requested an eyepatch for right eye, and lo behold, recipe for one gets added in next update. Still doesn't help us who already designed our characters to need it for left eye, or prefer the smaller design of lower lvl eyepatches.

as an aside, can we add the /visor command to be able to switch the eyepatch from left to right eye and back.

As an eyepatch user, I support eyepatches for all as well. It took me a couple of weeks of finding someone who could make the Gryphonskin Eyepatch for me, but now all my roles have eyepatches.

I do, however, prefer the smaller eyepatches, so I hope eventually we will get a universal eyepatch that is smaller than this one.

All the demimateria book requires is 5 fieldcraft 1's and 5 battlecraft 1's. Those are really easy to get.

As I mentioned, you don't even need to HQ the recipe as it's for glamour. *shrugs*

Hell, you're on the same server as me; get the mats and ping me ingame and I'd be happy to assemble it.

I always wonder why some ppl need the same support like a 3 year old one, that eyepatch is easy as hell to get...

just use pf to search a 2 star crafter, if you dont know anyone or shout 1 time in limsa, problem solved

*sigh* I don't even care about that eye patch enough to get it since it covers the wrong eye and I'd need to buy a fantasia to fix that issue, and this thread has gotten off topic from requesting that all white rarity eye wear be made available to all classes, for glamour purposes.

Sorry If i offended anyone by saying the eye patch was hard to get, meant to say it's a lot more difficult to get than if they would just remove class restrictions from existing eye patches. Keep discussing as you wish.

i would prefer a glamour system similar to Terraria. Basically two sets of equip slots for weapons and armor. the primary slots for stat equip, the secondary slots for vanity equip.

Something like this would be perfect. So anyone at any level could do glamour, it would still impose the same class/job restrictions, it would not require prisms ( so newbies can do it too without having a crafter leveled or buying the prisms ), and could potentialy allow items like the Odin armor to be worn as glamour when not wearing a 4-in-1 body armor.

The only down side is that the armor would need to be carried on you at all times, but you'd be able to change out the glamour as you want, whenever you want.

Yes, this is exactly what needs to happen when it comes to Glamours. I've stated this same idea on multiple threads, but it doesn't seem to be seen by anybody of SE to give damn about it.

Makes too much sense, sorry. Send it back to the drawing board.

squeenix plz

bumping this

Shirt and kecks for mages too, please T-T ...

bump for eyepatch justice

The development team doesn’t want to make any promises, but they will include your suggestions for more eye patches when designing new equipment. :)

Maybe make eyepatches /visor usable to switch eyes? Small request but would be nice, heh..

How about both eyes?

http://oi42.tinypic.com/5p4rpj.jpg

More eye patches that cover the right eye instead of most that cover the left would be great. I would use the Gryphonskin Eyepatch, but its too big and covers up the scar over my character's eye. I hope that more right-side eye patches are added!

Also blindfolds please.
That decrease accuracy and increase evasion

Cowls with blindfolds or the ability to wear hooded gear with face items like eyepatches and masks. Would still want the blindfolds with the latter so I could pretend I'm Father Chains, the blind priest of Perelandro. :p

I always skip eye patches as gear for my characters. I hate them. I don't think they look good or serve a purpose on my characters, and they don't look attractive on them at all.

It would be so easy to just include all classes on the low level eye patches... Please do this.

Any eyepatch news?
