Request to unlock Hempen set styles

[Automedius]

You know that guy talking about basic sets really had me thinking. and since this thread has GM attention... I'm just gonna say


CAN WE HAVE THE LEVEL 50 CRAFTER SETS UNLOCKED? I REALLY WANT THE WEAVER'S SWALLOWTAIL! Please~?

That's already gonna happen, lol. It's kinda obvious it's going to happen in 3.5 Part 2 this month. Just wait till fan fest next week.

Where's this info coming from? Was it datamined or is this just conjecture based on the Chinese region getting them?

I'm not doubting you or anything, just wondering .

Me too! They should consider loyal customers also. Not just the majority.

please explain what exactly separates a loyal customer from the majority because I'm still scratching my head on that one. these 2 groups are not mutually exclusive and never were. you want to separate them to make your views feel more important. I got news for you in an MMO they are looking to try to keep more players as loyal customers so giving the majority what they want is exactly that

Uh, define Loyal customer...

If it's subscription based, I've been subscribed quite a while.
1,260 days subbed, veteran rank 13, 180 till the final vet reward and my sub comes up in a couple months.

I am absolutely for unlocking glamor options for all races and genders.

personally I think what they should do for these sets and possibly the race specific sets is allow us to do quests with the race tribes to earn their trust kinda like the beast tribes. that would be the smart way to do it.
we have 6 races each split into 2 tribes so 12 tribes of which only Hyur has separate Hempen set/Dance for each tribe. they could even use this as a way for us to learn the dances for each race.

how I would impliment this is

1. alternating quests between each tribe for the purposes of helping the tribes become closer(as it seems some of them are pretty bitter toward eachother)
2. the hempen sets unlocked after your first rank up(maybe create new sets for the tribes that dont differ)
3. the dance for each tribe would be available after several ranks(new persistant versions dances made for each tribe including new ones for those that do not have them)
4. your final rank(going to assume rank 7 or 8) would get you a race specific gear set for your race as a purchasable reward(these would be nearly identicle but each would have something slightly different about it. and you would be able to trade the set you bought if you used a fantasia)

If not unlocking them then I would like to see more options such as varients in design but for the love God make them dyeable so sick of gear not being dyeable but I'd still rather have the hempen sets unlocked cas haveing underware being race exclusive is just silly now the race starter sets yes keep them exclusive tbh I would like to see more race exclusive sets like them (that are dyable) or are the same item just with a difrent look based on race and gender upon equip

Please, no! Not the AF sets. Those are the one place where class/job locking should remain. (Though I do think all other gear except for AF should be glamourable regardless of your class/job.) But the AF sets are designed to define the look of a given job. Those shouldn't be wearable when you're playing as something else.

Nobody uses the crafter/gatherer ones though. I've never seen most of them worn, ever. It's such a waste of fun designs which would add some much-needed variety. I agree that battle class AF can stay locked but as you can already be a sword-wielding chef anyway (the old Valentine set) they may as well let everyone do it. Botanist AF isn't exactly iconic FF job-defining imagery and it's so sad seeing every single crafter running around in Ironworks like a clone army.

I believe one of the other versions of ffxiv, the chinese one perhaps, has the level 50 crafter and gatherer sets available in the cash shop as non restricted glamor items.

I use the level 50 fisher hat in all my fishing sets...

Still would like the ability to set multiple glamors on a piece...
Really makes the crafter/gatherer unique sets rather pointless since everyone seems to end up in the all crafter/gatherer sets eventually...

I do. And I like the variety it gives me to wear a leatherworker-specific set when I'm a LTW or a goldsmith-specific set when I'm a GSM, etc.

It's true they don't have the history behind them that many of the combat job AF sets have, but that's because it's a new thing for crafting disciplines to be jobs in their own right. They don't exist as such in any of the single player FF games. But many players still value them, and it's just as valuable to give those their own look as it is for the combat jobs. (If anything, it may be more important for the crafting classes, which don't otherwise have much to distinguish them.)

I don't really see how this is relevant. We're not playing the Chinese game, thank goodness. It has quite a few things I wouldn't want here.

It exists.
Which makes it that much easier to incorporate into other versions of the game...

You can't be a LTW without paying the price of never being able to glamour your other jobs. Since a piece of gear can only have one glamour attached. Even worse that the AF gear isn't as good as the Ironworks gear, so wearing AF gear is a double negative. You would need to reglamour every time you change crafters if you want to wear the gear. Or destroy your inventory holding each AF piece.

This issue effects battle classes too. Tanks and magic are forced to only look a certain way if they have multiple tanks or magic classes. NIN, DRG, and MNK aren't affected by this as they have their own sets. BRD used to be safe but then MCH came along.

So yeah, they either need to get rid of the restrictions or fix the glamour issues. There's a reason no one wears crafter AF2(Heavensward)
