Suggestions on how to improve the Glamour Dresser

[Vstarstruck]

- Naturally, increase Glamour Plates too. I think 15 plates might be a good max amount of plates.

No it is not, 1 per job minimum , 15 is the bare manageable minimum, meaning you need to split gear wise still on some jobs, like having blm and SMN/RDM (since this allows BLM's focus in spell speed not effect the others), we should got it released at 15, but really 30-40 is more ideal.

I am not sure if they really want to put an inn in the GS but they really need give the dresser a housing furnishing.

Ideal glam log would let you view it anywhere you are so you can preview etc and use plates freely. Maybe we HAVE to be at the dresser to put items in it, but we really should be able glam individual pieces, view the "log" and use plates anywhere.

If "server limitations" cant allow it, put more money in the game, us players give you plenty to give us something back.

right click search > should be able pick up what i in the dresser.

Ease of making job change macro with a plate.

Allow items go in the armor, like wedding, mog station, etc, WITHOUT wiping the dye. If that can't be done, toss out needing items to put dye on gear, make it a 1 time learnable thing. This is not a f2p we pay sub so.. no reason to make dyes cost so much on mog station anyway

Another improvement that nobody's mentioned yet - the ability to label plates and have them displayed in a list, similar-if-not-identical to the gearset list, instead of the current 'blind' tabs.


An inn at the Gold Saucer would make sense (= casino with attached hotel) OR they could have a functionally-identically "change room" near the Fashion Report area. It should work the same way at a game level - talk to the NPC, enter an instanced room with appropriate furniture.

Dye preview is a good suggestion. I'm not sure if that's something that's going to give them trouble, but definitely something hopefully they've considered.

Dye preview already works. When you add a dye to a plate item, the button says "Reflect" rather than Apply. That shows the dyed item on the plate preview window, but doesn't consume your dye pot until you click Save (at which point it asks for confirmation).

It's nice to hear that I'm not insane. I still cannot figure out what the attachment is to the items themselves for some people.

At the moment, it's good for keeping some items freely accessible, particularly if you've filled up all your glamour plates with other costumes.

Additionally, one of my occasionally-used "glamour" costumes uses the Lv60 Eikon Cloth Culottes of Healing as a skirt, so I can't just apply it onto anything. Keeping that as 'physical' gear for now means that I switch to it through the gearset menu and I'm automatically in the right class that can wear it. (But if the plates can be linked to gearsets, that wouldn't be an issue any more, as long as the amount of plates is increased.)

I'm also just a bit sentimental and my character is still carrying the weathered grimoire she started with. Plus at least one other quest reward that I *do* want for glamour, but the thought of reducing it to an intangible projection of the item doesn't seem right... the item itself would be precious to my character. I can afford a few glamour prisms to keep it intact.

Yeah, labeling them would be nice.

I get why you'd wanna keep them at the moment, no confusion there. I just don't know why I get pushback even if we're talking about ideal builds of the system where it's always available.

It is mainly because of the 200 limit, then others feel SE will break it n the future and fear losing tons of money in mog station items. Everyone I know is not putting anything in there that is high value. Like people putting in gear you can easily get back or gear that costs 10k gil or something that they still used frequently for glams. Also SE does not let you put in things in it like the wedding outfit in armor or the dresser, so people are very nervous of trusting it with gear of value.

Another reason is the 10 plates, it is easy to walk around in the real gear then dealing with the bad system.

If it was 400 items and 30-40 plates im sure you see it a lot less, but there prob still be a group of people not trusting it with mog station items

Old way:
Create a gear set with current gear before starting. Push 'C' and 2 clicks.
Ensure you grab the following off your retainer or armoire: swimsuit legs, body, and maybe feet (sandals)
Equip your swimsuit legs, body, and feet (if you have sandals).
Unequip the other slots you don't want to show.
Create a gearset using equipped gear. (again 'C' and 2 clicks)
Put both gearsets on a hotbar (or even marco it)
Click each set depending on what you want. Easy swapping!! Forever.


New way:
Create Glam Plate with suit legs, body, feet
Add Emperors hands, head, feet if required, earring, choker, bracelet, ring1, ring2 to the dressor. (what a waste of slots for empty gear...)
Before you even bother using this glam plate, ensure the following are in your inventory: current glam head, body, hand, legs, feet, earring, choker, bracelet, ring1, ring2.
Swap to your glam plate and go swimming!
To Swap Back........
Glam a your old head
Glam a your old body
Glam a your old hands
Glam a your old legs
Glam a your old feet
Glam a your old choker
Glam a your old earring
Glam a your old bracelet
Glam a your old ring
Now Do this EVERY TIME you want to go swimming

Your "old way" is literally just equipping the swimsuit via gearsets and has nothing to do with the glamour system (and you can still do it).

With regards to limits, I would think we'd need at least 30 plates, and it needs to come in the same patch that allows binding glamour plates to gearsets. There are 26 jobs in the game at the moment (crafters and gatherers included) and I'm certain that there are people out there that will want a different glamour for every job.

Allowing us to open a read-only view of the dresser outside an inn room and perhaps spot-glamour single items from it directly (i.e. without having to use a plate) would be appreciated.

Also, if the armoire is to function as an extension of the dresser and we cannot put armoire items in the dresser, then I believe there needs to be a change to allow items placed in the armoire to retain dye colours.

I think 15 plates might be a good max amount of plates.

Personally, I think there should be AT LEAST as many glamour plates as there are classes, plus some bonus plates for seasonal event outfits, casual gear that you often use for screenshots and so on. So let's say 30 would be a nice amount. 40 would be even better. Let us also name them like gearsets. Of course, 200 items are far from enough. If you collect glamour gear and play all classes and also have crafters and gatherers the dresser will be full in no time and you will still have gear on your retainers.


You should absolutely be able to put items from the Mog Station into the Armoire. ESPECIALLY because some of them have bonus stats like EXP bonus when under level 30. If you put them into the dresser, you can't wear them for the bonus with a low level class anymore. Or don't let them have bonus stats in the first place and make them much cheaper. The problem here is the dye system. You would have to dye everything again every time because the dye gets destroyed when you put something into the Armoire.


Being able to apply them outside of cities is also very important. You can't even do FATEs with another class when waiting for a duty without messing up your glamour. Or use them on gathering classes. I would like to be able to glamour my gatherers differently and be able to switch between them in the field.

When doing the search inventory feature on the Marketboard, make it so items in the Dresser show up too.

Yes, please! Let us be able to search the dresser! This is so important. Also for trying on gear or linking it.


I haven't put any item into the dresser yet because I couldn't use them on my squadron anymore (and because of the slot and city restriction). So either let us take them out again (preferable so you can put leveling items you might need again into it) or make it so that you can glamour squadrons with this system and make it simpler to glamour retainers.


I wouldn't mind that items get destroyed if I use them purely for glamour reasons. But there are items we still need and we can't put those inside the dresser. At least make it so you can at least take blue gear out again. White and green gear doesn't really matter and if the Mog Station gear with bonus stats could go into the Armoire it wouldn't be lost.

tbh to those who still argue about glamouring their squadrons and retainers, Ive noticed you can basically equip the gear you want to put on them, use the glamour plate and equip the gear which you glamoured on your retainers/squadrons. Pretty simple, right?

[Fuma]

PLEASE let me put any gear in the glamour dresser... If it's gear like the Amatsu set just add it to the Calamity Savager vendor...

This doesn't work on squadrons. Just Fyi.

I found this macro on a video for glamouring and figured I might share it. It is fairly simple to use and set up. The first line is just for the icon of the job from the gearset to appear the second line is the actual macro itself.

/macroicon (number of gearset) gearset
/gearset change (number of gearset) (number of glamour plate)

So for since I main white mage it is my first gearset and glamour plate.
so for me it is.

/macroicon 1 gearset
/gearset change 1 1

For my astro it is. Which is the third gearset and eighth glamour plate.

/macroicon 3 gearset
/gearset change 3 8

Of course this only works in cities for changing the glamours automatically. Since the system itself is limited.
