Would it be possible to make glamours job-specific rather than on general equipment?

I completely agree with this topic. Absolutely.

I have the full sets of the Swansgrace, Elkhorn and Wolfseye, and right now I can't glamour the way I really want to because of the shared Daystar and Evenstar.

For example, I had the Swansgrace set glamoured on my WHM. However, I removed it because I also love SCH and cannot stand to look at the Daystar set (because of how hideous it is). In addition, I cannot glamour the Evenstar gear to be both Wolfseye on BLM and Elkhorn on SMN, and I really want to be able to.

I agree with this. I have a nice glamour for my Summoner, but when I switch back to Black Mage I look hideous because of the range of gear I'm wearing. I can either have one look nice or the other, or have them both look exactly the same in un-glamoured gear. It would be nice to be able to glamour them separately

I totally agree with this the thread. I can't stand the look of Evenstar/Daystar, play whm/sch/blm/smn and want to use my pvp gear. Please give us the chance to do it \(^_^)/

I'm sorry, but this is is extremely unlikely to happen.

Currently each equipable item has 2 model identifiers: the items base model and a Glamour redirect. To give you what you want every item would need to have 20+ model identifier, the base model and 1 Glamour redirect for each class and individual job even if it was not equipable by that class or job. This is a massive increase in the amount of data each equipable item would need to have.

This is one of the main reasons why I thought a more reasonable variation on fixing this problem would involve additional gear with still a single glamour on each piece, (essentially getting around the "Unique" tag without having people lotting on any more drops than they currently do):

How about a system where (just for high level unique or difficult to obtain items) they added a system that would essentially let you get a second untradeable/unsellable/un-desynth-able copy of an item much more cheaply/easily once you've obtained the first one. That way, even on items that could (and therefore normally would) be shared between classes, you could instead just get multiples of them, and glamour one for each look you want.

Advantages:
1) It keeps the glamour system itself pretty much unchanged, which I'm assuming would help developers (and whatever system limitation concerns led to the initial development of this system rather than cosmetic slots).
2) It provides a lot of flexibility. You could set different glamours by job, but could also set up different glamoured sets to suit your mood if you want.

Disadvantages:
1) May require more Armoury Chest space.

I would love to glamour my i70 crafting gloves. They don't match my color theme and I don't find them nice looking. Unfortunately, I can only choose one piece to change it into, so all of my DoH jobs would use the same piece, and it would be mismatched.

You got my vote!

I still think they should ditch the glamour system and move to Glamour slots.

it would solve these issues right here and it would not take up much more data, think about it for a moment.
if each gear set had this it would be pretty much the same as it is now as you would have your glamor items in slots it would also take care of some issues like mutiple slot items such as the Odin Armor(dont remember the name) since it takes up 4 slots it cannot be used with the current system. but a simple tab with a on/off button that has slots for all your vanity choices would work.

alas they chose not to do this and now the players crafting glamour prisms are out of control with the prices too.

The problem here is that they are classed as master recipes so need to be level 50 to be able to buy the book and craft it. They should have been special recipes but should be around level 30 obtainable just like dyes imho.

What I would like to see is sure keep the glamour prisms but instead of applying info to the gear itself apply it to the slot itself. No need for extra slots and slots should be saved in the gearset.

What REALLLY needs to happen to glamours is an evening dress dammit. I wanna be GLITTERY!!!

[Wildsprite]

this is what I initially thought Vanity would be in this game. this would have made having different glamours for the same armour possible.

I figured because of the fact that it is like this in a couple F2P games it would be in this P2P game.dopey me

note: they could even make it so that to use the armour as glamour you would have to bind a glamour prism to it. thus they would still have a use.
