Suggestion: Let us glam our offhand with dual wielding jobs (Ninja and Viper)

Simple request, allow ninjas and vipers to be able to change the glamour of their second weapon so we can use two different weapons. Maybe even extend this to mages who use staffs and let them glam a shield on, or jobs like Pictomancer that don't exactly have a second weapon, but use another weapon piece.

If I could glam a 2nd pistol into my machinist's hand go dual akimbo pistols, I would be very happy, I don't know if CBSIII would ever add that. I think it'd be a nice evolution for Machinist class though with an extra animation or two.

That would be cool, but it would require them doing animations to support that so I don't see it happening. They could at some point make VFX packs and sell them or put them as earnable rewards to do something like that. I'm honestly surprised they havent tried this yet.

This would be very cool. I'd like to see it for Red Mage's rapier and focus too.

That's going to put a damper on when they come out with the 'new' double-pistol job next expansion.

Monk and Dancer too

Let Samurai glam their sheath separately from their sword then. I don't care what it takes. Make it happen.

MNK, SAM, RDM, DNC, AST and MCH (if they had different lunchboxes, which they don't but IF they had any...) could also greatly benefit from this.

The problem with this is that the Sam sheathes are modelled around the weapon so if you swap them they will mostly clip when it's sheathed.

I could be wrong, but I don't think the blade is in the sheath. Probably have a separate sheathed model.

I believe the blade is no longer rendered when it's sheathed, but it could clip the moment your character reaches for the sword to take it out or back in...

They are actually separate models technically but the issue is out of all the things you could replace, SAM Sheathe would clip often with replacements. There are surprisingly a lot of different shapes and lengths to SAM weapons, so out of the few weapons you could have a secondary slot for, SAM would be a bad one.

Didnt they mention the animations are holding them back from weapon glaming dont get me wrong i get it its stupid. But man imagine being a white mage using Machinist weapon or dark knight sword to channel magic someday they might do it but the glamour is at least a victory we all should cheer about.

In terms of letting you glam a paladin sword on a ninja, or a scythe on a dragoon, yeah thats what they meant. It's likely all the weapons have different rigs so trying to swap weapons around like that would cause animation freezing or t-posing. I mentioned shields for whm and blm because they can actually use them, granted they are using a 1 handed weapon. They don't get any different animations while using a 1 handed wand or 2 handed weapon so I don't see any reason why enabling a shield with a 2 handed weapon will cause any issues. As for ninjas and vipers, all their offhand weapons are identical to the main hand, so letting you swap them around freely wouldn't cause any issues.

I would definitely like the ability to glam weapons separately. Based on what I've heard, jobs like Ninja, Red Mage, Machinist (for the aetherotransformer), etc already function by having an offhand weapon you cannot see in the equipment menu. I would like to be able to mix and match them like Paladin can with shields.
And, of course, I know many people would want an Emperor's New Aetherotransformer or somesuch.

I may be wrong here, but I believe that with the way the game is currently coded, this may not be possible. Viper can have two distinct blades in each hand, we see this with the Arkveld weapon for example, but ninja does not. It just has one dagger that gets mirrored into the other hand (which you can see demonstrated with the Tsukiyomi weapon)

Ninja's weapons are still two distinct weapons, no worries. You can see this on some NPCs like Heavensward Thancred, and from what I've seen, the player's weapons are also coded using an offhand item that can be independently changed.

Each of these jobs that have 2 weapons or parts of their weapons, actually have 2 parts, so all they would have to do is let you glam the offhand and have it override the loading of the second model. It wouldn't be anything as difficult as splitting the models up, they'd basically just have to write a function that allows a different offhand model to be loaded when its glammed. It's definitely something that's reasonably doable and not a huge ask, and I know a lot of glamaholics would enjoy messing around with different combos.

If they could manage to add this, they could also consolidate the PLD sets into single items so you don't have to have an exception in the loot and vendor systems just for PLD.

Just get rid of the offhand slot stats and make it be used exclusively for glamming the offhand piece of jobs that have 2 weapon pieces.

I'm upvoting this because it's making me think of my Thief & Corsair days on 11. So I like the idea.

Having mismatched weapons, or having a sword and a dagger. So cool! ^_^

I just want the weapon appearance I used on my WoW shaman:

We have silly costumes in the game, so why not silly weapon glamours?

What's silly about that? Boards with nails in them are the reason aliens haven't taken over.

I agree there should be more joke weapons. I have a clown glam for my ninja and my only real choices for a joke weapon are the gold saucer weapon and the figment coffer weapon.
