So glamour plates are dumber than anticipated...

[Gemina]

I'm just waiting for an update in a future patch where the glamour dresser no longer destroys the gear you glam, and the ensuing rage.

I don't think anything was mentioned about this new system overwriting current glamours, so it took me by surprise. I was ready to nuke one set despite being 60 4-star gear I crafted, but I'll be damned if I nuke my raid drops.

Looks like for the time being, I'll be sitting out with this new feature until it's improved

Yep, definitely not putting my $18.00 carbuncle ensemble into the dresser. It's meant for replaceable gear like the Survivalist set or my White Mage get up.

The way I see it, the glamour dresser is an interesting adjunct to the existing glamour system; but, I'm not going to use it heavily.

I'm pretty sure you can't do that.

Everything I've paid money for wouldn't show up as an option for it.

You CAN put it in the armoire and place it onto gear through the plate system by selecting that option. That way it stays outta the dresser and you can take it out ...

the items dont go in the armoire

Having trouble following what it actually does from the thread here. And two posts directly contradict what happens if there's an empty spot on a glamour plate. What happens? Does it wipe the glamour on the corresponding gear spot? Or does it ignore spots you didn't fill in to the plate? For me, I have outfits per role that only differ by weapons. Will this new system let me put (for instance) all of my tank gear on a plate and things look right as I swap from tank to tank? How about if I swap from a tank to say Dragoon? Very confused...

Blank spaces do nothing. If you leave a blank space it doesn't apply anything nor remove anything from gear in that slot. try this test. Super easy:
Make a plate with something you have in your armoire and nothing else. EG: the halloween outfit we just got.

Apply that plate to something you dont care about. A job you dont level or some green dungeon gear. Then try to apply a blank plate to the same thing. Nothing will happen. Nothing will be removed.

I've already applied a plate with gear but no weapon glamour in it to my SAM who is holding an Ice glamoured katana. The glamour on my weapon is still there.

IF there is a glamour in the slot however it WILL overwrite anything you have in that slot, so be careful if you've used expensive dyes on something because it will be overwritten with the plate's glamour (if there is one in the slot).

makes sense and I'll have to try this, but damn this system is convoluted.

I don't find it so.. there is a lot of setup though. Once you have your plates set it's very minor.
Hopefully they follow through on the plate to retainer and squadron member promise.

How are you putting mog station stuff in the armoire?

I'll just explain my reasoning through these pics https://imgur.com/a/JMfO1
IDK if it works on on that exact item, but you can def use it to apply looks onto plates.

The temple knight gear is actually able to be put in the dresser. Someone bought it for me but I'm not that wild about it since it's very... white.. so I just stuck it in the dresser. Maybe I'll use it on my paladin later. But there ARE things on the mogstation you can stuff in the dresser. So be careful. It seems like anything that was a past seasonal reward is limited to the armoire though.

edit: I should also clarify I did try to put it in the armoire first, which did not work.

Oh cool! So glad they put a block on that. It would have been awful to lose something you paid real money for.

Thanks for the tip about the armoire!
