Attach Glamours to Job Crystals

While I'd certainly prefer if we had a catalog of styles we could save and switch on a whim..... I doubt that'll ever happen.

Instead, how about allowing us to store outfits to our Job Crystals, so we can glamour each job differently?

With so much shared gear sets... if I want my Warrior to wear Warrior AF.. then it means my Paladin and Dark Knight, hafta wear whatever ugly thing I was trying to cover up in the first place.

I mean, our job crystals do virtually nothing otherwise... why not allow them to dictate our appearance?

I suggest making it so you can right click your job crystal for a "save glamour" option, and have it overwrite all else. So each crystal can save their own glamour, that won't change unless you save something new.

I like this idea ;) would simplify glamours.

I give this 2 paws up, be nice to have individual glams

Alreay asked a thousand times, not gonna happen cause the way the thing is designed do not allowe it and it would be to much work to re-design it :/

Well, I'd prefer having a book to store glamours you've learned and be able to re-access it later, but the complete overhaul it'd probably take is probably more complicated than just doing this.

I mean, look at the Cid Attire you get from the mogstation. You afix it to the body and it glamours to all other spots (with the exception of headgear). That gives me the impression it would be fairly easy to do something like this with job crystals.

The first good thread of the year!

Great idea OP!

Both this and the glamour book would be totally amazing, but I recall them saying it wasn't possible due to memory limitations or something or other. :< That and it being just too complicated to change the current system.

Except i think glamouring to a crystal could be possible for the reason I mentioned. If you can equip an item that covers multiple slots, then I'd think you could glamour the crystal to cover multiple slots. But I'm not a programmer, just sounds like a similar thing to me.

You know, that is a very simple solution to an equally annoying problem. Much approval OP :D

Yes please!.

Idk, I just remember them saying at some point that for some reason a system like that wasn't possible.

Maybe we'll get surprised though. Pls surprise us devs. ;.; The glamour system could seriously use a rework like this, especially if you're going to keep putting out "relic"/job-specific armor.

I'd be happy of they just let us toggle to to relics vs. 1-3 as an option from the crystal. I just hate my Paladin and Dark Knight looking all mixmatch just so my war can be in Seafog Blue War Af glory :P

You shoulda seen my SCH/WHM glamour last raid tier. I mained AST and LOOOOVE the AST job gear, so I used it, but whenever I swapped jobs my other healers' glamours looked like an anorexic version of the Michelin man.

Honestly, I don't think trying to suggest compromises is really gonna help us much. xD I feel like it's better to push for the best and then if SE decides they can't quite reach it (for whatever reason...), then that's on them.

This is the way Transmogrification works in WoW now. You attach the look to the Specialisation. I guess if the FFXIV devs had a squizz at WoW, they might be able to work out roughly how they accomplished it.

Yes, however there is the other side of Transmogrification. It's highly restrictive, far more than XIV. Why it was easier to implement in WoW late in its game cycle.

However, WoW regardless of player demand will not introduce dye options to gear. As it would require a complete overhaul of their item system.

I would like to see this happen. But if it is as resource intensive as they claim, I can understand why they can't.

It's still a starting point to think on :).

Yes please, when I glamour all my DRK gear to be edgelord and epeen black, I don't want my PLD to also be edgelord and epeen black

True,

Gearsets also know what color an item is dyed, might be an avenue as well.

They didn't say it was impossible. They said that it would require a massive amount of work cause they would either have to rebuild the existing system from the ground up or build an entirely new system from scratch. In either case it would be a lot o staff working on it for a pretty long time.

In programming, particularly with programs as big and complicated as a MMO, even seemingly small things can require a huge amount of work, not just to make, but to QA and iterate before they get to a product stable and high quality enough to release.

Restricting it to the Soul Crystal would leave out Disciples of the Land, non-specialist Disciples of the Hand, and classes.

Do... Botanist and Miners care about such things?
