So glamour plates are dumber than anticipated...

[Krotoan]

So, I sorta get the hesitancy on the whole "destroys your items" deal. Don't get me wrong, I hesitated putting some stuff in. And some of you glamour pros maybe have better reasonings for it, maybe I haven't fully explored this yet.
But, honestly, what are you losing by destroying an item you will only ever use for glamour? It stays in the dresser (unless you perma-remove and destroy it), to my knowledge, you can still apply dyes (right? surely it still works). Has anyone tested whether you can use plates to have the same item dyed different ways for different plates?
?

This system solves pretty much every one of my problems. I can make my looks and redo them whenever I upgrade and spend NO additional catalysts. It removes the items I use solely for glamour from my usable inventory and frees up slots for mats, items and leveling gear.
I've messed with the dyes and yes, you can dye the item IN the dresser inventory or in the plate itself.. or even AFTER you've used the plate if you're odd like that.

yeah I can see more spaces being nice, but right now I've glamoured everything I was holding for its appearance and used all of 130 slots. A lot of these items I glamoured are purchasable off the calamity salvager and if i need the space it's super easy to "destroy" them from the dresser and retrieve them later for a minimal gil investment.

Right now the only thing you are losing is the ability to put it on your retainer and Adventure Squad members. Retainer is the largest concern of the two for me since I set them up around my house to make it look busy outside.

There is a workaround for this.
Make a plate with what you want to glamour your retainer with. Remove the armor from your retainer and wear it yourself.. apply the plate.. put the gear back on your retainer. Voila.

or say you want to use the same armor for both and just glamour the weapons.
It appears the blank slot in the glamor plate works by stripping the glamor off whatever was there so screwed again

no it doesn't. A blank slot applies no glamour. My glamoured samurai weapon stayed an ice katana even with a blank space.

and stuff like armoire gear getting destroyed permanently just feels bad, that gear already has a home =(

Armoire gear is accessible directly through the dresser with no modification..


I don't think you actually used the system.
