Can we get rid of prisms please?

Finishing the 2.0 MSQ isn't required to unlock glamour, though. Just being lvl 50 (any job) is enough. It isn't even limited to DoW/M.

I know this because I got bored at one point, and decided to see if I could level an alt's DoH job to 50 without any of the combat jobs being all that high (think the highest was lvl 21 MNK, at that point). To my surprise, having a DoH to 50 also unlocked the glamour quest.

I do think they could lower the level requirement though, similar to how the dyeing quest only requires level 15.

I could have sworn that when I did it on my first character the quest wasn't available until after the 2.0 storyline...

Nope, only level 50 required for the quest.

I really wish i could of found another swtor player that could explain their glamour system they may fall behind this game in many other ways , but it destroys ff in how they do glamour and thats sad because this game is alot better

It's really pretty simple. Each character has up to 5 wardrobe sets. If you have the item and can equip it, you put it in one of the wardrobe slots (head, chest, gloves, bracers, belt, legs, feet), pay a small fee, and the game saves the set. Now, whenever you wish to wear that set, you select it from your character interface and make it the "active" appearance. No matter what item you actually have equipped (or no item at all), your character will display you wearing the wardrobe items you've selected. I have a Jedi, for instance, who is wearing a Sith outfit I got for her around level 20. Even though she's changed the actual gear she's wearing a dozen times while leveling up, she is still wearing the same Sith outfit.

They'd have to have what? 20? wardrobes just to have 1 for each class/job? One of the current main complaints is jobs that share gear cant have different glamours. So that would require at least 20 sets.

That's... a lot of micromanagement for something that's already handled pretty neatly. I shudder to think of what would happen if someone has separate glamours per job, class, DoH, and DoL... no thanks!

And with all classes/jobs unlocked, we can have 40 gear sets, so I'm sure we'd get at least that many wardrobe sets. Coco Puff's reference to 5 of them was discussing SWTOR's implementation.

Given the way we can change classes/jobs in this game it makes sense to tie these wardrobe outfit sets to our gear sets themselves. That way, when we switch jobs, our outfit switches with it, because the cosmetic outfit is glamoured to the gear set. The big advantage it would have over glamouring the gear directly is that we can have the same piece of gear in multiple gear sets, but separate appearances for each one.

One thing I would like to see removed if they do this, though, is glamour dispellers. If we glamour a gear set, but then get a new piece of gear we want to wear directly, we should have the option to make it visible. Give each glamoured slot a simple toggle for whether to show the glamour or our direct gear.

So now, not only do I have to manage 20+ gearsets, I now also have to manage 20+ wardrobe sets? That doesn't sound annoying at all.

While neat, it is also restricting and limited. If you wear x gear on BRD, you are wearing that same gear on MCH. Wearing Cowboy gear on your MCH makes sense, but on a BRD? It's a bit weird. You can't have an entirely different aesthetic between jobs that share gear and it's a driving factor toward bettering the glamour system.

You wouldn't have to. The option would be there if you want to use it. If you simply want to show your gear directly, you can ignore whatever glamour system is in place, whether it's the current one or the type being discussed here.

Certainly managing those glamour sets would be easier if tied to gear sets than it is now. Now, if you want to glamour something, you have to keep re-doing it each time you update the underlying gear as well as each time you want to change the glamour. With the proposed system, you'd only be doing so when you want to change the glamour. That's less managing of it than we currently have.

[Thunda_Cat_SMASH]

I disagree. There's several outfits that I like the look of across the different jobs. Changing the system means I'd have to start managing each individual glamour instead of the current system, where I find something I like the look.
