But there ARE vanity items from 1-50***. How many people use Leather Sandals for vanity? That's a level 1 equip, and a level 1ish craft! What about the Boarskin Skirt? that's a level ~45 craft and looks really nifty. How about the brand new Oval Glasses? That is an under 40 synth for a vanity item. Also, the Highland set is a pure vanity set with a crafting level of 40. I've seen tons of people use the Patrician's set, or other Coatees for their vanities, and they're level ~49ish. What about the Stablemaid's Hat? Looks almost identical to the 50**ish Cloche at a fraction of the price, cost, and difficulty. And what about the most popular glamour items, the hempen set? I see that more than anything, and that's crafting level ~1, required level 1, and useless in a fight. What is that for besides vanity?

Want to dress up like an FFT thief? I have a glamour set (taken from someone else) that involves leather shoes (crafting level ~1), Velveteen halfgloves and a velveteen bandanna (both somewhere mid-level), and yes, sailor brais (50**) (the shirt is a dungeon drop). There really aren't better items for that vanity, and those items are all across the board.

I don't get it when people say that they don't want all vanity items to be worth millions of gil. Guess what? They're not. Almost any item can be used in a vanity. Heck, my current glamours for my main use nothing above crafting level 45.

So, a small number of items that are to be used for vanity are expensive items that take expensive materials and high level/skill crafters to make. The majority are found other ways, through low level crafts or from dungeons. I rate your statement: False.
