Suggestion: Job Specific Gear

[Lambdafish]

I'll need the glamour system to support functionality for glamouring multiple job specific pieces to a single role specific piece before I advocate more job specific gear.

good that you meantion not related to status but only Glarmor, I dislike to have anymore barrier between job changing

One thing that could be nice about something like this, is that the older job teachers are in currently underutilized map areas. Placing more upper level content in lower level maps keeps the whole world experience from going away and being replaced by everyone clustering in whatever the current expansion's hub is.

This is what I was thinking as well, that very same thing happened with FFxi. The last time I played I was fishing in the Dunes it was abandoned. I was actually the only person in the entire region, and the Dunes (once upon a time) used to be a heavily camped leveling spot.

I don't know what you mean with this, could you explain please?

I think Lamb is refering to glamour being tied to the job stone and not the gear specifically, allowing multiple glamours on a single piece based on the job.

some armor is role specific. mages use alot of the same pieces, tanks as well, as do bards and machinists. so if you have a job specific glam and apply it to a set of armor that is used by 2 or more jobs it defeats the purpose. so, he's saying they need to fix the glam system first.

You have role specific gear (such as tank gear shared among DRK/PLD/WAR), if I try to glamour the esoteric PLD body to the tank shire body it will show up on PLD, but on WAR it will default to the shire gear but still have the PLD glamour. What I want is to be able to glamour both the WAR esoterics body and the PLD esoterics body to the same piece of shire gear.

Basically I want to be able change the glamour on a piece of role gear based on the job that is wearing it

I like this idea much more than the current, heres a box with gear in it at the end, they are suggesting implementing. Maybe even use it toincorporate some of the gear design contest entrants over time.

My best job I have is Ninja so that doesn't happen to me often, but I could see that as being a problem for a lot of jobs. I can also see it becoming a larger problem once Red Mage and Samurai is part of the game.

Yeah, I agree wholeheartedly. Then again, if those dungeons/raids didn't drop something to make people keep coming back, no one would go through those dungeons/raids.

I wouldn't mind taking a break from beast tribes for a while in favor of something like this. They DID promise us a while back that we'd get to see more of the NPCs from the class quests someday, and this would be a nice way to accomplish continuing their stories.
