Suggestion: De-glamour Plate

[Aurturia]

You actually sort of can do this, if you use a plate with incompatable glamors the orginal gear will show. As an example if i try to use a plate full of crafting gear over tank gear it will error and just show the orginal tank gear.

This doesn't dispel any pre-existing glamours in those slots, does it?

It does. It overwrites the current glamour with the plate glamour, just like any other time - except you're taking advantage of the rule that if you can't equip the item, the glamour won't show.

there are some things you can't overwrite that way - particularly weapons, since they're not allowed to be glamoured into a different type of weapon in any circumstances, but I think also you might need to use gear that belongs to one of the classes that could use that gear.

eg. I know definitely that If you want your bard wearing the actual gear, you can break the glamour by putting machinist relic gear on the plate. The gear is now glamoured as that, but the bard can't equip it, so the glamour doesn't display.

But I'm not sure if you could do it by putting tank armour on the plate. That might just not get applied.

(But as I said above, it can be easier to just put the actual item you want into the dresser temporarily, so you can put it on the plate, and the plate does actually show the appearance you're applying.)

It overwrites the current glamour with the plate glamour

Sometimes. It depends on whether the gear itself can accept the glamour.

For instance, if you're currently on BRD and wearing gear that's wearable by both bards and machinists, a glamour plate with Machinist specific AF gear would work like you described, because MCH AF *is* compatible with the gear you're wearing, even though it's not compatible with your current job. So the glamour would be applied to the gear, but wouldn't display.

If, on the other hand, you tried applying a glamour plate with Paladin AF to gear only wearable by Bards and Machinists, it would have no effect, because the gear won't accept the glamour if there's no overlap between who can wear both. (I've made use of this by using one of my crafter gear glamour plates with a combat job when all I wanted glamoured was the earrings, which happened to be the only "All Classes" gear on that plate. It glamoured them while leaving the rest of my glamour alone.)

This is the use case I was asking about, so that's good to know (and also unfortunate).
