So will Glamours Require Crafting?

[Wildsprite]

I'm hoping the "prisms" are something that crafters can make and sell. They would be equipped into a new character "slot" (and held in a new armoury tab specifically for the prisms) and can hold the images of a particular outfit you want. Essentially, modular wardrobe tabs.

would be beautiful if they did that

while it is probably just wishful thinking I'm still hoping this is what the Glamour(Vanity) system will be. unfortunately till they give us more details we are just grasping at straws

Would be nice if you could equip cross-class clothing as well.

I want to tank in a robe!

Robes with white or pink name are for all classes. so yes, you can do it ^^

My hope is that Glamour will include all those nifty clothes you see on NPCs EVERYWHERE. I'm not talking about the RSE smallclothes, though being able to 'wear' Highlander RSE smallclothes will probably be high on alot of mi'qote lists. I mean those fancy outfits in Ul'dah, the wench dresses you see here and there, so on, so forth.

I would think it's going to be similar to materia melding, with the item you want the stats from acting like a materia being melded to the other item.

They should have just given us a vanity tab that mimics the normal tab (the viewable pieces). That way, if we get a new item we like, it's as simple as throwing it into the vanity slot. If I have to shout for a crafter every time I get a new piece of armor I want to "glamour", I won't bother with the system at all.

They've already said they're not going to do vanity slots on a separate tab. To be honest if you won't use the system simply because it requires some kind of social interaction to use it then I'd guess you were never really interested in it to begin with. I assume you never get materia melds either?

Personally I hope it does require DoH in some form as it should serve to boost the economy a bit. I fail to see how it's any different to pay another player to do it compared to paying an NPC to do it for you.

The only thing I ever get melded are the weapons for the Relic quest (And I'll only use the FC or just buy premelded weapons if they're available). And it's not about being "social". I'm social in this game all the time, so you can take out that straw man. The fact is, I only have a few hours to play per day (if that) and I don't want to waste time shouting and waiting for a meld or for glamours. Especially when you're trying to glamour 20+ items for all of your different jobs. Melds aren't bad, as they're only truly required for your relic, but forcing us to shout and wait for a crafter to glamour tons of pieces for us would take all the fun out of the new vanity system.

If crafting is involved, they need to just make it so a crafted item is required for you to do the glamour yourself (or through an NPC). That way, crafters could feel useful without forcing everyone else to jump through annoying hoops.

The problem is that crafters have been wanting to feel useful since the beginning and just melding or making one or two things isn't useful enough. Furnishings is a start but it just doesn't compare to 1.0 where they were the only way to make gear 100% repaired. This is a good step to making them more useful than just cramming small gems into equipment or making that rare piece of gear.
