Vanity slots question.

[GilbertLapine]

Well, first of all, it's not likely to be slots. From what we've heard it's more akin to the way Aion/Tera/WoW do it, ie you change the appearance of one item to another. Not a separate slot. Also, afaik, it includes weapons too.

The only information they've released that I'm aware of is that classes won't be able to equip stuff they wouldn't otherwise (so no blms waltzing around in full plate mail).

If you have a different source, though, that has more information, please cite.

Honestly, though, I don't see anything BUT a separate slot working on XIV given the nature of the items, and how many of them are 'special' blue armors that aren't supposed to get blown up in some transmog-like vanity synthesis. Unless theyre going to make most of that stuff non-vanity, in which case the system goes the way of dyes and everyone ragequits.

Well, considering they've already specifically said they're not doing extra slots, I doubt it's very likely.

I'm aware of this coming up in discussions about additional equipment types (like quivers or something), but never in relation to vanity slots. Do you have a source?
