    "Glamours may not be stacked."

    Not sure how long this has been around... but I used to be able to glamour a gear with another that's already glamoured before. For example, I glamoured gear A onto gear B, then I can glamour gear B onto gear C, which sadly, is no longer possible.

    Someone please tell me this isn't working as intended since the glamoured system is already leaving plenty to be desired..

    I'm almost certain that never worked. As I tried it when the system first was implemented to test the limitations.

    If whatever you're shooting doesn't die after you pump 8, 32 caliber, slugs into it, it's probably a dragon.

    Never been possible. However you can glamour multiple iterations of an item into different things.

    It's working exactly as intended, I'm afraid. Why should the image of A put onto B, carry over if you try to glamour B to C? I don't think it's a transitive process, which is why we're at least lucky A isn't destroyed when we use a glamour prism to put A's appearance onto B. It's still perfectly good to make a glamour of A onto C, with the addtion of a new glamour prism.

    I'm guessing the OP isn't looking for it to A > B > C to carry through and have the same effect as A > C, because you can just do A > C. My guess is that he's looking for A > B for Job 1, and B > C for job 2, without having to have two copies of B (which may be Unique).

    (Or, if that's not what OP is after, it is something that'd be nice to be able to do.)

    10 posts per page is only the default setting; it is bad, and you should feel bad if you haven't changed it.

    This. A isn't destroyed, so there's no need for stacking. You can glamour A onto B, and A onto C. You can also replace an existing glamour with something else, like put A onto B, then C onto B without removing A first.

    Maybe the way I describe wasn't clear enough, I'm not trying to glamour A > B > C as in A > C. Put it in a clearer way, say I glamoured Gae Bolg (i80) on Darklight Spear, then Darklight Harpoon over Gae Bolg Zenith (i90) in an attempt to indirectly glamouring Gae Bolg (i80) over Gae Bolg Zenith (i90). When I tried doing that, what used to happened was that Gae Bolg Zenith (C) would take the appearance of Darklight Harpoon (B) instead of Gae Bolg (A). I believe this is working as intended, where if you tried to glamour an item with another item that is already glamoured, it will take the look of the base item. However, this is no longer possible now. If you try to repeat the process, you will get an error message of "Glamours may not be stack.".

    TL;DR, you can't glamour a gear with another piece of glamoured gear.

    You can just get rid of the glamour and glamour it again... takes 5 seconds.

    What if I:

    1) Lost item A (relic progression for example), want to keep item B glamoured and still glamour item B on item C?
    2) Swap the looks of item A and item B? (Cross-glamour)

    I will like to highlight again that I am not asking for something new, since it was possible to glamour a gear with a glamoured gear before this, what I'm trying to ask is if this is intentional (which sadly I think it is) and if so, is it possible to reconsider this decision? I really fail to see a reason for them to change the old system besides for more gil sink.

    While I'm on the topic, is it possible to keep the different types of glamour crystals but remove the grades? I seriously find it pointless to have 5 different grades since the crafting materials and requirements are the same. If anything, it serve more as a source of annoyance than anything else.
