Legs Glamour Question: Kecks

Is there a version of Kecks leg wear available that is available for all classes? Everything I find and like is for Disciples of War only.

This is the Kecks glamour I am referring to:

The Expeditioner's Kecks and Ramie Kecks are not the glamour I'm looking for, though they are available for all classes.

Is what you're looking for the chaps aspect? I don't know of anything exactly like that but the anemos chaps are lvl1 glamour and should be relatively cheap given that they drop like fireworks.

If you have a 1.0 character, you can see if you have anything like these.

Not sure if they can be obtained in ARR, a number of legacy items can't be...

That would be exactly what I'm looking for, but sadly no 1.0 character.

The way I see it, then... you have 2 options and neither are good.

1. As SE to reinstate the legacy items... Not likely because they'd probably prefer #2, and legacy items have quirks like the color being tied to the item instead of being dyeable.

2. As SE to remove the restrictions from the specific items you want. SE has actually said they would do this for specific items players asked for back when they introduced the glamor system, so it's not theoretically impossible.
...Buuuut SE hasn't done this even once in the history of the glamor system, despite saying they would consider items on a case-by-case basis. So really the odds are not good.

Well... technically speaking didn't they do that (sorta) by making the anemos glamour gear? Those are items people specifically asked to be all classes. Maybe making a request for those kecks to get an "all classes" version might work?

I heard, and I’m not exactly sure if it’s true, but there are going to be some 1.0 items available in the very near future. If that’s true then maybe it will be easier to ask for more 1.0 items once that happens.

I didn’t know that was one of the items. I thought they had a connection to a character or something, not a boss. Regular clothing should be okay but I feel there are certain items that should never be released again and that would be one of them.

Agreed 100%

I'll never understand this line of thinking. I just don't get why some people feel that someone getting something easier (or at all in the case of removed content) than the guy before somehow devalues the first guy's accomplishment.

No matter how easy it gets for the guy after you, nothing will change what YOU did and how much effort and/or skill it took for YOU to do what YOU did.

Don't base your self worth by comparison to others, because what they do and however easy or difficult it was for them has nothing to do with you and what you accomplished.

What I have and what I had to do to get it has nothing to do with what other people have and what they had to do to get it.

My appreciation of things has nothing to do with exclusivity. SE has made many things easier to acquire or available after removal (holiday stuff for example) over the years and most of the time I already had it done when they did. If anything it makes me happy to see people excited that they can finally get something they felt was unattainable.

But, especially in this day and age, I feel like an outlier in that I take great pleasure from the pleasure of others. These days it feels like there's a great many people who can't be happy unless someone else is miserable.

Hey while you're up on your high horse here, can I make an alt on Midgarsomr and have all your gil? I mean, I promise the stuff I buy with it will make me happy, and by your own words that should make you happy too, right?

I know the feel, I wanted to use a certain glam on my DoM's but alas, the felt kecks are locked to DoW.

Once again, the glamour system fails to make any meaningful sense, I get locking the item itself to DoW because it has no INT/MND but come on, why does that have to apply to glamouring the sodding thing? Its even more egregious then locking off palette swaps (I will never get over that I can't glamour a scouting piece on my MNK/SAM despite said piece literally being a palette swap of an existing striking piece)

I suspect the blanket 'ban' on glamouring things you can't equip is because they don't want people glamouring unique job gear onto other jobs, but the system can only handle an "all or nothing" approach for glamour eligibility. I assume it works that they can either set it so (A) you can glamour anything, or (B) you can only glamour items for your current class, but there's no way they can make it "everything but a few specific items". Thus, to prevent job gear from being freely glamourable, everything else has to be locked down as well to prevent that.

That's my theory anyway.
