So I found a 180 head piece with the pvp gear's appearance. I tried to glamour it on top of my 200 piece but received an error message about glamours can't stack. So is diadem gear useless for glamour purposes, or am I missing something? Even if I get a piece I like I can't copy it over? I was hoping to find some awesome looks from this gear.
Are diadem glamours useless?

Base of Diadem gear is like Level 58 DoW/DoM craft gear.

I got the Dreadwyrm tank legs on some gear I got.
And nah you can't double copy glamour..have you never tried and failed to do that before? It's always been like that. -
11-14-2015, 07:07 PMFoxyArekuYes, other than the best gear in the game this mode is completely useless.Quote:

A few willfully ignorant people here it seems like. A modicum of context would reveal he's specifically talking about the glamor aspect being useless.

What OP means (if it's unclear) is that he would like to use the glamour of the Diadem piece on a separate item, but can't because that glamour is specifically tied to the Diadem piece and can't be transferred off of it.

11-14-2015, 08:08 PMkenshinjrThank you. Yes I was just complaining about the glamours only. Trust me, I spammed the islands looking to improve my healer critical rate and/or det all day.Quote:

My first post was generated from confusion on why SE randomized the appearance in the first place. It had to take time and resources to get this unique feature working correctly. So yeah, in practice it seems like a useless feature. Even for 210 gear, which you would actually want to wear, it would be impossible to get a matching set. So you end up glamouring over the gear anyways. -

You can't use Diadem as Glamour items because they are already glamoured by themselves.
Imagine you glamoured Royal Vest on your ilvl 190 alexander healer chest piece.
Now you get your esoteric chest piece and you try to glamour it:
-You can't use Alexander Healer chest piece (with Royal Vest glamour) to glamour your esoteric chest piece into Royal Vest. => That's what is happening with Diadem gear
-You can use Royal Vest to glamour your esoteric chest piece. -
11-14-2015, 08:19 PMKalleraI think that is ridiculous, and kills a cool feature already existing in wearing the diadem gear.Quote:

11-14-2015, 08:47 PMFoxyArekuThen he needs to learn how to state what he means?Quote:

11-14-2015, 09:06 PMkenshinjrSorry for any confusion generated on my end. This topic is just about my confusion about the way this unique feature of diadem gear was handled and a misconception I had. I was hoping the topic title would frame my initial question. Maybe I worded it better in my second post. Thanks.Quote:

I really want to use the blm pvp on my smn...anyone see that drop yet in diadem? :D
Not like I'd be able to glamour it on top of something though and I already have an awesome 210 body from diadem :( pls SE..haha -

I'm actually a little glad you can't use them that way. As rare as getting a particular piece you want from that would be, I feel that the current situation gives the content where those looks originally come from (pvp, coil, etc.) more value and more reason for people to run it. And yes, I know that most likely, people will run into diadem gear with glamour they actually like (and don't already have) largely on accident rather than purposefully.

11-16-2015, 08:01 AMAzakaTonnerre"Are diadem glamours useless?" That statement pretty much reflects that.Quote:

You aren't the type that didn't understand why there was an explanation of the difference between solids and liquids in your Chemistry 101 book are you? -
11-16-2015, 08:29 AMdank1Why would he even assume it's about glamour? Does possible i210 gear not sound like a good enough incentive??Quote:

11-16-2015, 08:38 AMFoxyArekuThen why would he bring up the item level at all if he was only talking about glamours?Quote:
