Swallowskin Set DoL Set. [Petition (?)]

This may come really late as I was on break from 1 month before ShB hitted and I just came back now. And ... What the hell is that set. Is so good. Finally male could have kneel boots that are without stupid stuff hanging around and take the dyes well. The chest is also very good, one of the few with a scarf integrated. But then its only DoL. I'd love the coat and boots for my MCH set. Please make a lv1 glamour set or even MogStation *I couldn't care less to give 15 bucks if its for this*.

Absolutely not.

Seriously, the set is in-game right now, it even used to be the case that DoW/DoM jobs could wear DoL/DoH stuff by default.
You're asking for the option to pay money to wear a type of gear they used to let you wear for nothing.

Well but I really want those boots and coat. Would be way better to have them for "free" as new glam sets of course..

So do I, and we almost certainly will.

DoL/DoH gear is often recycled as level 1 glamour gear to pad out the rewards in various side content they come up with.

This set looks almost like it was created specifically to be turned into a highly desired glam dropping from the revised diadem/new deep dungeon/eureka 2/map duties/etc. further down the road.

I agree, this is a very nice looking set (better IMHO then the DoH set), but please release the SB DoL/DoH sets as glamor items as well ... :-)

Think there were some SB DoL/DoH set as dungeon items might be wrong tho.

The cry for unlocked glamour has been ignored for years.

Good luck.

Heaven's ward DoL/H sets in the well. Yeah. Which in my opinion is a whole new level of lame/lazy.

Jandor pointed out DoH/L sets used to be All classes, Why this changed I have no idea. I guess so they don't have to design new dungeon sets in the future. Which would be ok-ish If those sets weren't class restricted, and you could dye them.

The swallow skin set is so great. It would be a perfect glamor for my character, Since I can not stand 3/4 of the caster healer looks on my highlander man! Sadly I would pay for it if the option were available, But I would prefer not to and rather have it as some type chest goodie in the next eureka(/cry) or even better make those sets all classes again!

That was my point tbf.

They're ignoring for years the glamour cry, like someone also mentioned. So if there's the either have them but pay for it or not have them at all, I'd rather the first one, would be profittable to put some work for them as Swallowskin has been probably the most popular one as far as I can see. Of course if they'll do it for free all the better, but considering how they're ignoring this for years I think its easier to imagine if they'll do it would be for money, given that nobody really wants to spend some money for it.

Don't encourage them to put it in the Mogstation. If the trends are like the previous expacs (especially considering stormblood) the set will most likely be made for all through either a later crafting recipe or a drop from something like the new Diadem in replacement of Eureka.

It was some point in Heavensward that the certain gear sets became exclusive for DoH/L. Which really bites since ones like the Ironworks Gathering set are fantastic, and the tease with them being Malikah's Well for just healers makes me reel my head.

I think the big problem is SE is slowly losing their grip on making more new gear sets more so then before. If you look at the ShB dungeons by gear three of the dungeons (71,77,79) reuse gear sets from previous expansions. Some of them being 50/50's like in Malikah's which has a bunch of gathering gear/Ironworks gatherer, and Ala Mhigan set (another fantastic set).

Meanwhile in Stormblood I believe we had only one reused set (61) and the rest were completely new. That's a pretty stark difference and I'm worried that even the most casual players will start judging this on a greater scale.

I think it was done due to the complaints of people abusing the gear system (spirit bonding, iLevel inflation, etc.).

As LLSmoothJ pointed out, a large part of this change was due to the fact that folks would wear DoL/DoH gear into raids and dungeons to Spiritbond it - at the expense of the other players, who would then need to make up for the spiritbonder's craptastic damage and survivability.

A better choice would have been to make it so that DoL/DoH gear could ONLY be spiritbonded by doing DoL/DoH activities - but I guess the spaghetti code for spiritbonding made it much easier to just slap class requirements onto the gear and call it a day. In fairness, though, aside from glamour there's no good reason for non DoL/DoH to be wearing that gear in the first place, and while glamour may be the true endgame for players, it doesn't seem to be as high a consideration for the devs.

I really want the coat, has a nice hobo ascetic to it.

My bet is that the cross class glamour version will be found in a chest in SHB version of eureka. Kinda like the Pagos sets.

I'd grind that even if I hated eureka pagos/anemos. But ehy for glamour this and more. I guess.
