Books? It's not about how easy it is with crafting, it's just an unnecessary inconvenience. It works, but the systems in all of FFXIV's competitors do not require it and they are better experiences.

I also don't think costumes applying to character would work in XIV, due to the ability to swap between jobs (unlike Wildstar or WoW), costumes applying to job would be better.
You can simply have the costumes applying to gearsets. This was my intention, but used the term character due to defining it how it's done specifically in Wildstar.

I think your currency wallet idea is pretty good, but that idea needs to be applied to much more than prisms (all the various tokens we keep collecting, for example).
