So glamour plates are dumber than anticipated...

[Krotoan]

Question I'm a little confused about.

If say I put a top in can I then glamour just the top to a piece I'm wearing or is the only way to use that top for a glamour to make an entire plate?

You cannot directly glamour something using an item in the dresser. You have to apply it to a plate first. Currently I have one plate reserved for this need, changing things out as I go.

That is not convenient though, remember they titled the one thing "glams made easy" that isn't easy and wasting more time then the old system.
You called the old system more efficient, of course no one is going to praise SE for this mess. I did ot say I had to go to the inn to use plates, I said I have to go to the inn to put items in it, and it is a pain when you are limited with how many windows you can pull up. You can't retainer > dresser, you can't chobobo bag > dresser, you can't use dyes from the bag, you cant glam from items in the bag, it is an extremely limited mess and you are shocked so many are unhappy with this?

I find this system far easier to use than the old system. I build my look, I make a plate, I apply my plate. If any item in my gear gets upgraded, I can simply apply the plate again to restore my look.

I'm praising SE for this "mess". It works great. The only real limitations it has right now are space, and Squadron glamours. Everything else is fine. I detailed my complaints with it earlier, but they're mostly about things that have been promised to be expanded later (yes I understand SE has failed promises before... I got it I got it.)

No you cant directly glamour a retainer from the dresser, but you can make a plate, put on the gear and glamour it then put it on your retainer. This is actually faster than the old way of taking the gear off the retainer and glamouring each piece individually with 1-5 different prisms.

Don't put your dyes in the chocobo bag. Don't put things you want to use in the field in the chocobo bag. Put stuff you want to hold but don't have an immediate use for in your chocobo bag and things you need constantly in your personal inventory. Why is that so weirdly complicated for you? Is it such a huge hassle to click 2 times to move something from the chocobo bag to your inventory? Are you dyeing things every 10 minutes?

plates don't work on retainers. Right now only actual gear works on retainers, so if you use something in your dresser you can't use it on your retainer.

I will say this for the 3rd time.. in the same thread
Everything your retainer wears you can wear. This is a fact.
Create the look you want for your retainer in the dresser on a plate.
Take EVERYTHING off your retainer.
Equip it all on YOUR character.
Apply the plate to YOUR character.
now everything you were wearing has the appearance glamoured to it that you wanted on your retainer.
now take everything off your character and put the gear BACK on the retainer and it will have that appearance still.


Am I saying it weird? Why is this so hard to understand?
