I would REALLY dig a better Glamour system...

[Terin]

So, as someone looking to leveling a new character, the Glamour system is basically unusable. The reason is; you replace gear so frequently, there's just no way you'd be able to keep your appearance as you want it. Which is a shame, given how many promotional or Collector's Edition items can technically be used at any level (ie. the Baron's Helm or Circlet, not to mention the Cloud Strife gear that I just got).

Also it would be awesome to have some kind of "Wardrobe" to access all of the gear you've equipped, without having to hold on to the items themselves.

I would like my healers to look different and my tanks, so my drk doesn't look excactly like my warrior for example or whm looks like my sch.

I think all these things are things most players want. Many of the reasons they give in relation to these topics tend to end up being issues with Server limitations. While its a valid issue it's one I certainly hope they are considering ways of resolving. Regardless, the noise we have had from them most recently is that it isn't something we will be seeing anytime soon sadly.

We all would... The whole system is needlessly bloated as it stands, right now it heavily favours crafters rather than the user...

I just want to be able to switch glamours on the fly, if I'm in Coerthas perhaps I glamour a fur coat on, if I'm at Costa de Sol, perhaps a swimsuit... Can't do that though... No, I need to carry any gear I want to glamour and I need very specific glamour prisms... This means I can only real change glamour at a market board or retainer bell...

A comparison I like to make is self repairs. That is a nice convenient system for the user; You can just carry a stack of the higher tier Dark Matter, and you can repair everything. Don't even need to switch to the correct craft (although we used to, which was horrible), if you've got it leveled you can just repair gear. Meanwhile, not only do I have to use a grade 2 glamour prism, I have to use a goldsmithing specific one... It's just needlessly convoluted...

If I could just carry a single stack of the highest tier glamour prisms, and that's me set for everything, I'd be a lot happier with the system... Though that says nothing about the inventory issues with carrying the actual gear I want to glamour around... That's really absurd, especially when SE charges people extra for more inventory space to hold such gear... A wardrobe or glamour log is a suggestion that has come up plenty of times, apparently SE would rather just give us more inventory space instead though... It's a shame, because I don't need this gear... Not as gear anyway... I want this stuff solely for glamours, nothing more... The stats and ability to actually equip it are completely meaningless to me at this point, I'd rather just burn it into a wardrobe and have a more convenient glamour system...

At the very least, I wish they'd let us save glamours to Job stones or something... I'm sick of shared gear ruining potential glamours... Just let me save something like an AF glamour to the Job stone so Paladin looks like Paladin and Dark Knight looks like Dark Knight... This is particularly galling with the upcoming shared DoL/DoH gear... I like the current red scrips gear look, but for example, I'm only going to be able to have Botanist retain that look, while Fisher and Miner are forced into the new set because of how inept the glamour system is... If I was able to switch glamour more freely, that would be less of a problem, though it would be annoying to switch glamour each time I switch Job... A specific equipment slot that holds a stone we save glamours to would probably be ideal really... You can slap a glamour on there, then just equip it and the fact that you're changing gear while you're leveling means nothing, because the glamour is on a stone, not the gear...

I totally agree. We should be able to save a *look* after glamouring it and then glamor again and save another look. I hate having all my tanks look the same or my blm and summoner and so on.

Excactly and you would like to have your DRK look bad ass and full of ''darkness'', while PLD would be more holy for example. Just throwing out how people think. I would love to wear different gear sets on my tank, I love the HA gear but I would love to wear something else on my pld, like the 110 pvp lion pvp set.

I honestly just wish the system was revamped to not use those crystals at all. Most games just gives it's players " skins" and you can just put those skins over any piece of gear. And all you have to do is equip it, no other system needed. That way you can just take it off the piece and use it again when you upgrade your gear. Why didn't they just use a system like that instead of what we have?

[StrejdaTom]

TBH I don't like the actual glamour system at all, the fact that you have to reglamour your stuff every time you change/upgrade your gear is annoying. Having 2 character sets - one for stats and one for looks - would be so much better.

[Gralna]

Changes I'd like to see made to the glamour system

1. A glamour log, that saves all green/blue/purple gear your character has been bound. Keep glamour prism requirement for actually applying the glamour.

2. Ability to save glamours to gearsets instead of gear. So many jobs/classes share gear now that it makes it nigh impossible to glamour job specific gear without your other jobs in that role having to go glamourless.

3. Remove glamour prism grades, or at least make it so grade 5 can be used in place of all lower grades. The grades are nigh pointless since all 5 grades use the exact same recipe and have same crafting stat requirements, so they end up just taking more inventory space than the system should.

I've heard the same server space limitations, but really hope that someday (soon), they are able to upgrade servers and streamline the code to the point that at least all 3 items I brought up can be implemented.

This is what I would like as well. Surely it's not that complex. This is how I want it:
