    Vanity & inventory management.

    Hello, I would like to suggest an idea for vanity, that I am surprised is not being used. (If someone has brought this up... I didn't see the thread and apologize in advance.)

    Instead of me having to hold on to every piece a gear for future vanity purposes. Why can I not destroy it and have the system remember what pieces I have obtained? This would lower the burden on inventory space by a lot.

    As an example of what I mean look no further than Diablo III's Transmog. (I'm sure other games have done it as well)

    Anyway just a thought.

    -----------------------

    Let me explain it in more detail what I mean.

    1. You go out looking for the gear you want and obtain the item.

    2. Once obtained, you automatically unlock that look. (it is added to your glamor list)

    3. You glamor the same way you do now only it pulls up a list of looks you have unlocked instead of your current inventory.

    You still use glamor prisms, you still need to obtain the gear first (Crafting, or dungeon) to unlock that look.

    During the course of leveling multiple jobs I have amassed quite alot of unique non-aetherial gear and as a result my one of my retainer is nearing the limit.

    I like you idea. or at the very least make it so that the salvager can sell you gear unqique dungeon gear that you already got in the past? They do this for your relic weapon and events.

    In all seriousness, it's a wonder they made Glamour such a chore & inventory such a nightmare to manage.

    Another failed implementation by Yoshi & his team unfortunately, I hope they take your suggestion to heart.

    I really wish they'd do something like this. Like many other players I have pages of 'green' gear that I probably won't ever use, but would be really annoying to reacquire if I wanted to use the look. Making a system where you physically destroy the item with the look you want, while perhaps detrimental in some cases, would be very helpful. Just make it so that destroying it once unlocks that look permanently.

    It would require redoing nearly the entire glamour system of course, and I very much doubt they want to do that, but it would be nice. The other side, of course, is all those duplicate glamour prisms that can only exist to create inventory strain.

    One thing is for certain, there needs to be something done about the lack of space. ~_~;;

    It'd be nice if we could just put all of our gear into armoury chest. My 4th retainer is about to burst from all the vanity gear I have saved for all the classes.

    I'd rather the item becomes bound and worth 0 gil (after you save its image in your glamour log). Then I can continue to use certain pieces and it would make sense for pieces you wont really obtain more than once (or toss it if you just wanted its image).

    I heard they were adding an item log or something... Would be awesome if that system tied in with glamouring. The particular types of glamour prisms is helpful to keep each craft its own gil so I'm not sure that should go, but I think you could have a neat feature where in the glamour menu you can purchase prisms wherever you are.

    Basically a link to that particular item on the market ward only. You don't need to mange it anymore as much as just buy it when you need it, with ease. Also let you right click the purchase box first so you can "search for item" just in case. That QoL feature they added recently has been great. Need to add it to more locations that list items <3

    (I don't really use glamour - wysiwyg, I just see these like suggestions as a huge QoL lol)

    What they should do IMO, if you get a whole set you can turn it into one single item and you can equip it to a mannequin on your room. You could turn it back into separate pieces at will.

    That would solve inventory issues and force players to do what SE loves, running older dungeons to complete the whole set.

    Even if they add more inventory slots with the current system it would be a mess.

    I edited my post.

    I'm not suggesting you change the entire system only the portion that requires me to hold on to a piece just in case I want to glamor it later.

    This is especially annoying with the soldiery upgrades (or any upgrading things they do in the future) because when you upgrade the item it is not actually the original item, it is a new one, thus destroying any glamor you had.
