Silly QoL Poetry/Soldiery Purchase Adjustment

[Mardel]

This is a very simple request but it can help people. (I may edit the post later tonight with images.)

I feel it would be helpful for the items purchased with tomestones to have a slightly different color other than white. I understand there is a secondary pop up, but too often have I been there hovering over the item and then realizing oh wait this isn't the _____, at the last second. (After soldiery was unlocked i accidently bought a noct wristlet lol)

The problem I think is that the text is tied to our settings for text colors in game right? Perhaps, if there was a way to disassociate the text colors it would help? That or make the visual icons have a tag on the top right corner saying "Dex" or "Job"? Thoughts?

Read the name of the item.

Read the name of the item.

It's not about reading the name of the item that is annoying, it's looking at the same icon, same color, same color text, same naming scheme that become monotonous. Ever read this label on vitaminwater?



Same concept.

[BigPapaSmurf]

You made points about buying the wrong item as a result.

Now you're saying it's the monotony.

...anyway, I just read the name of the drink on that label.

Easy not to confuse with the other drinks of different names.

I don't find it monotonous having them in the same color, you do have a different item icon you know (for most).

So which one of these icons looks different? (These won't be on the same page obviously but they look exactly the same for all right side)

Not to mention the belts....

That is a minimum of 20 items with the SAME icon, SAME naming scheme, SAME blue box, and SAME colored text. Yes I could just sit there and quadruple check that I am purchasing the correct item but like I said I've only made this mistake once and that, when soldiery was unlocked. However, people should be able to differentiate the object easier. You should be able to look at these pieces and say "That's a ____ (dex/str/int) accessory." Just like they can with left side gear. It is a blatant issue that has been a plague of accessories after darklight.

Your examples took me one look and seconds to determine what jobs it is used for by immediately looking at the Primary Stats.

I'm not saying your request isn't without reason. However, you also have tools at your disposal. I always Item Compare before I make a purchase even if I've looked at the item multiple times in the past.

If I'm spending hours grinding for an item, I will take a few seconds/minute to double check it before purchasing regardless if all the items are different or themed via name or icon.

I support this, I accidentally purchased daystar necklace instead of everstar necklace, which I had no idea how it happened.

[Verlyn]

There is nothing wrong with a simple QoL improvement for added readability. I support this.

I don't know what you are trying to suggest, so perhaps the images you mentioned would do the trick. How would changing all the colors prevent the unintended purchase, when I assume that color would still be the same then on all items?

[Ecks007]

Uh, wait I am confused as to what you are trying to suggest. You want the item text (the name of the item) in the store window to be changed? Is that it?

If that's not it, then I don't understand, unless you are saying you want something to display an item you already have? If that's so, we already have that, that Qty. (Quantity) on the side will display a 0 if you don't have the item in your inventory or armory chest, and a 1 if you do.
