PSA: Odin armor not usable for vanity!

[Docent]

I'm scanning the letter but I can't find anything about class restrictions. Only gear slot and level restrictions.
Where are you getting this information?

[..]you can copy the appearance of any gear equippable by your current class or job.

Assumption here is that means that a DoM can't wear DoW-only gear, and that PLD can't wear MNK-only gear. Same goes on for BSM not able to wear GSM gear.

[Gramul]

As long as the base gear and the gear being copied occupy the same number of gear slots, you can copy the appearance of any gear equippable by your current class or job

Ah. Must have misread that part as "you can copy the appearance of any gear equippable TO your current class or job". Thanks.

:/ Sad to hear that. First thing I thought when I heard about Vanity is the Odin set. What with is being hard to get and not that worth it stat wise I knew mass amounts of people would want if for Glamour.

On a different note entirely; I'm hoping for a way to make shields invisible. I hate 'em! Vanity will be a buckler for sure as of now lol

Gear set limitations are easily seen. The gear follows a 1 to 1 ratio at the current moment. Current Glamour can only match the ratio. Given time, I'm sure they will override this issue. Right now the Glamour Prisms or what ever item we're supposed to be using is as I said, 1 to 1. So for 1 piece of gear, you can mimic the image of 1 other piece of gear using 1 Prism. In the future, we may have special prisms that can take up 4 slots made specifically for items like Odin, the Darksteel armor and Cowls.

Its going to have to start off weak and build up to get the most out of it with less stress. I mean look at the complaints about ear placement and tail cropping then apply this to multiple layers of images appearing at once. Not a great disappointment, just something they need time to improve upon.

Spoiled brats.

I dont know if you realized how hard it is to acquire a full set of Odin gear.

[cearka]

I was wondering the same thing...what is the point to introduce very low level gears (which seems to be there only for their appearance) when they'll make them impossible to use with vanity system?

Goodbye to Malevolent Mogwand also, as the WHM Relic is a two-handed weapon

you'll probably beable to overwrite teh relic with the mogwand. The letter didnt' say anything about one/hand vs two hands, only how many GEAR slots it takes up. All weapons occupy ONE gear slot.

Technically, a staff occupies two slots, as you cannot equip an offhand with it.

I'll make sure to only open threads about topics you approve of in the future

LOL, someone got OWNED

[Tarushade]

I brought up that concern on my FC website too, because every tank stuck in Darklight or caster stuck in a Cowl will be similarly annoyed.

The cat is not happy with this piece of news.

Although they wont be stuck in it for long b/c you can now farm myth.

The solution around this is pretty simple and obvious, IMO.

Taking Odin gear for example, its equipped on the body slot but takes up the hands, feet, and leg slots. Make it so that if you mirror the Odin armor on a body piece, that it "turns off" / takes priority over the appearance of the slots it usually covers even though you have things equipped in those slots.

This would also allow things like darklight robe and darklight tank pants to be compatible with the vanity system.
