Why is glam quest level 50 and not like 15?

[Nektulos-Tuor]

People don't want players to do fates and rush to 50. Says they don't learn they're class when they get higher level.

Same people tell new players to rush to 50 because otherwise they do not deserve glamour and perks.

Logic.

Tbh I never used glamour until the ilvl 110 stuff came out for glamour I just used the ilvl90 valor gear when the 110 gear was available. I never used it under lvl 50.

You can't glamour until 50. So that makes sense.

Don't you need cleared Ultima anyway to unlock all the quests in Revenant's Toll?

You can't unlock glamour until first 50. So that makes sense.

fixed it a bit

Yes, I know you need 50 what i'm saying is that I never saw a point to use it because the gear to me didn't intrigue me like some RPers like you. I just enjoyed the game for what it was, got my af gear, liked it, even when I got the darklight gear I still ran around like a tin can. Glamour isn't a big thing for me (until now since there's not much going on in the game). I dunno why this is being argued since glamouring in this game the best looking gear is at 50, unless you wanna wear a swimsuit and run around but even then a new player isn't going to care about that. It isn't game breaking, crippling, or inhibiting your play as a person paying for this game.

So... um.... why would that be a reason to keep the glamour quest at level 50? If you don't care for it, and don't even do the quest the moment it appears, why would it matter to you (and those like you) if someone else runs around spending their hard-earned gil to buy prisms off the MB (or getting them from their level 50+ friends/alts) just to look pretty while they level? Would you prefer that those people instead run through Haukke Manor wearing that low-level gear they like (like swimsuits, yukata, racial gear, hempen set....) over them being able to wear level-appropriate gear glamoured to look like said low-level gear? I'm not saying that scenario happens a lot, but while I levelled I often completely skipped tiers of gear because I didn't like them. I wore the level 23 tank gear until I could switch to the level 30 or 32. Ignored the stormtrooper armour from Brayflox entirely. And so on. I never heard any complaints, probably because those I ran with assumed I'd just been unlucky with drops, but I think everyone can agree that wearing lower level gear than you have to is a lot more detrimental to combat performance than being able to glamour earlier than level 50.

On this character (the above was an alt who levelled up before they implemented glamours at all), I just ignored my combat class entirely, opting to level up my fisher to 50 just to be able to get them glamours earlier without leaving my MSQ in the dust. Did it mean I stopped levelling after getting those glamours and am still puttering around at level 20-ish, focusing on just playing with low-level glamours?

No, being forced to reach level 50 with any class (not necessarily a combat class) to unlock glamour isn't game-breaking, though I'd like to argue that it is somewhat crippling/inhibiting. But being able to glamour from an earlier level (say 20, same as unlocking chocobo) wouldn't break the game either. Like you said, you do get a lot more glamouring options at level 50+, so even if your primary focus with the game was glamour/fashion, you'd want to level up your classes/jobs to higher levels to unlock more glamour options.

*sigh* That is your opinion. I happen to enjoy having full control over what my character looks like from the moment I start playing. Also, there are a great many very nice looking outfits sub-50, and a great many horrible ones. I would gladly spend gil to not be stuck in a potato sack or a tin can, or mismatched armor in general. In Rift, one of the first things I do with a new character is build up a bunch of outfits - even more doable now that all gear looks are unlocked account-wide (which is AWESOME).

Basically, I value highly being able to look how I want!

For the most part people who just started playing the game aren't gonna have 20k lying around you'll have like maybe 10-30k if you're lucky by lvl 20.

My husband and I rerolled on Mateus. Between the two of us we have over 2 million gil, and we're only level 35.
