Glamor Stacking

With the drop of PS3 support and the team working hard to give us more inventory and housing item slots, I think it would be a good time to bring this up again.

With there only being one set of gear at any given time that is "the best", the addition of new jobs and glamors, and the fact that clothing is important enough to have lore behind it, it would be nice to be able to stack glamors on one gear set. Do you all want to see something like that/think we're getting to the point the capability for it to be implemented is there?

It would be nice to see. That said I think we won't see anything like it till 5.0. Even if they started today, the way they have talked about it, they would have to build the system from scratch and that means a lot of time.

Still, if they are going to do something with the glamour system better to start sooner rather than later.

I want another type of glamour system. I have unified caster set glamoured with SMN-exclusive pvp set. But when I switch to BLM it shows default Shire gear so I look like a grey mouse. When I switch jobs 10 times per day it's inconvenient (and expensive because of multiple prisms) to switch glamour all the time too.

I'd really like to see a different system as well. I've always hated that my healers/casters/tanks area always looking the same, because they happen to be in the same set of gear. Like, bind the glamour pieces to the job not the gear. Should be a different tab for glamour, kind of like equipping another set of gear per job. Not sure how much work that actually requires though, but it'd be nice to see differences between casters/healers/tanks who more often than not share some of their gear pieces. :<

I would've preferred that glamours be executed differently. I forget who said it or the exact details of it, but I remember someone once suggested something like a glamour catalog, somewhere you could save glamour items and paste them over any gear you wanted at any time. Doing it that way you wouldn't have to hold on to gear you crafted/bought/obtained for those glamours (freeing up a LOT of inventory/retainer space).

Or at the very LEAST, isolate/link glamours to gear sets. Example- I have some healer boots that look like crap, but the stats are good so I glamour something over them for my WHM. But I want to use a different glamour for those boots on my AST. The current system doesn't allow that.

Even if it took a major rework of the entire system they could at least fix it in the short term by making more of the gear sets job specific like myth and esoteric. And not shared like lore and scripture.

At least then you'd be able to Glamourning your smn and your nlm differently because they wouldn't use the same Base gear.

What do you mean stacking glamours? Like I could glamour my goblinhood, as I do, and then glamour a helmet on that hood, so I can be a goblin wearing a helmet. I am very behind this.

And in the process gimp the performance of one of them because they need to resort to lesser, uncapped gear while bloating your inventory with an additional gear set. And then you might look better on your BLM, but don't want to bring it into content anymore.

Nah, full rework is the only real option here. Everything else is just switching one bad for another.

I'm thinking they meant the glamour stacking as in being able to have more than one glamour piece on a piece of gear, so jobs that were sharing gear would look different

The best glamour system I've ever come across was in LotRO... http://lotro-wiki.com/index.php/Wardrobe

Would love to see something like this here.

A wardrobe system would be absolutely lovely. However, I'm pretty sure that Yoshi has said in past interviews that there wouldn't ever be a wardrobe system. That's just what I've heard from friends and what not when this subject comes up. Everyone would love to be able to have a wardrobe system. Clean our retainers from holding all that glamour gear, ease of access to our glamours, being able to see what we have all laid out nicely for us in one spot. Yeah it'd be lovely, but I don't think that's ever something we'll get in this game. However, I'm not sure how much work it would take to add another tab per job for just glamours. I know many games have something like that. I think it's usually called a costume tab..which would be the same concept of our glamours, it's as if you're equipping two sets of gear, but the "costume" tab is the one that appears on your character actually.

I would love something like this. It's annoying sometimes when you have a set of glamours for one job where maybe 2-3 pieces are job-exclusive and it looks perfect, and then you switch to another job within the same general type and those same 2-3 pieces now look so off. :<

Everyone knows that endgame is glamour. I'm down for making it more robust!

What if they just allowed up to collect more than one set of gear this would solve the problem for instance you can get two chest peices, two gloves, two pants, and two boots , this could be an early way to fix the shared glamour part to not limit us to just carrying one in our inv

Dude that tome grind would be insane. Like..especially with the weekly tome cap.

Its worth it for the glam to me haha

I think a fair idea would be to re-work the prisms to actually hold a full outfit. So wear 1 set, use the prism and saves the current outfit (maybe with checks to turn off accessories, hats/glasses) then when equipped into a slot (would also could be saved via the update armor button) they can be quickly swapped out for other prisms. So say all 3 tanks are maxed and in full Shire. If you use Prism 1 for the DRK only gear, prism 2 for WAR only. Just swapping the prism in the equipped slot would show the glamour yet the shire gear is still there.

Not sure if I am really explaining my idea correctly or not though. Keeps sounding odd no matter how I write it.

I completely agree, I absolutely hate the fact that the healers/casters/and tanks all look the same because they happen to be wearing the same gear right now :(

The only thing I've found around that is glamouring a job-specific piece over the item to be glamoured. Example, I have the 250 crafted boots on my healers. I glamoured the whm AF boots (the dyeable i55) over them, so it uses one look for the whm and another for the sch and ast.

Issue with this is when you start to get into BiS stuff you're mix and matching sets, so your base glamour will look like poop with nothing over it depending on which pieces from which of the sets you have to use. :r I posted in another thread about the glamour system saying how last tier my SCH/WHM looked like an anorexic version of the Michelin Man because I was using the AST job gear (AST being my main job) as glamours and the mix of gear that was beneath those glamours was... not flattering. ;;;;

But yeah, I agree. The glamour system needs some reworking.

I've done that, I do that currently with my BRD/MCH glamour, I use the dyable BRD pants, however if I play my MCH it has to go around in gross pants that don't fit with the rest of my glamour because it was a BRD specific piece used. A system that allowed you to attach the glamour to jobs themselves rather than the gear would be so much better for glamouring multiple jobs that happen to be wearing the same gear. Honestly, who wants their jobs to look the same or get screwed out of using job specific gear because it's going to look gross on any other job you're wearing that piece of gear on? Because face it, most of the time people glamour cause the current gear is just bad XD
