    Glamour system

    Can the design team look into this please?

    People who use pieces which are available for more jobs (pld + war, sch +whm, smn + blm), don't necessarily want those jobs to look the exact same.

    Example: when I glamour the noct chest for my WAR, it will have the same glamour when I equip the noct chest for my PLD. It's nice that tank gear can be used for both tanks. However, it's a bit of a bummer your tanks will look the exact same.

    It gets even worse. Example: when I would glamour my noct chest to the PLD PVP chest, I will see the glamourless noct chest when I switch to WAR since it's a PLD only chest it was glamoured to. I'm not able to have a seperate glamour for my WAR (unless I missed something?).

    The glamour system (the idea of it) is one of the best the team implemented. However, with the way gear works (same designs for different jobs very often!), I don't feel like there is much to glamour to.

    If only the "gear set save" option saved the glamour for that particular job. I'd be a bit more happy about gear design. They did it with the "show head" option, so I figured this wouldn't be too hard. Then again, I have little knowledge about how much of a hassle this would be to implement.

    Update

    I use the soldiery i110 body for both of my tanks. I have the augmented AF on my WAR. Now while on my PLD this glamour isn't available due to the AF being job specific, I do automatically get the dye from the augmented AF. Yet another reason to adjust the current glamour system imo.

    Living with Onion Knight wielding an Axe at the moment, but would like to have separate glamours definitely.

    Thought that a gear set solution was said to be in the works already.

    Hmm, do you happen to remember where you read this? I haven't read/seen anything about this matter.

    While the devs are at it, can I have dyable shields for pld please? =D so many times a shield would look nice to be dyed for armour.


    Like tower shields and kite shields even just dying the trim would be nice. And round shields or wood shields could be dyed one whole colour

    Truth be told the first thing I did with glamours was find a set that is equippable by every class while still looking nice - now all my lvl 50 Classes have the exact same outfit
    some may call this boring but I prefer my char to be recognizable no matter what class I'm on.

    But diversity is always a good thing, so I'm supporting Your cause

    TOTALLY agree. My white mage and scholar are both wearing the Daystar set (hideous) and I have them glamoured to the Cashmere robe and Saurian boots. However, I would definitely prefer if whm and sch were able to have separate glamours using the same ugly Daystar set.

    The same will be true when I obtain the Evenstar set for my blm and smn.

    My tanks now look the exact same except for the weapon ofc. I with to change 2 pieces for my PLD. I would still be recognizable and it keeps us a bit more busy in game. xD

    I do like people who try to create the same look. I just don't find myself doing that since I play healer and dps too. Don't want them to look tanky (which is not possible) or my tanks look all linen clothy like.
