Just a couple more noob questions if you don't mind. . .thank you by the way, to all the fine people of this forum community for answering all of my previous questions.

LOVING this game by the way!

Okay, the last MMO I played, ya know that big one that's been around for some 10 years. . .had a feature called transmogrification. It was a feature in the game that would let me swap like gear for like gear, so that I could keep the "look" of the old piece but the updated "stats" of the new piece of armor and/or weapon. Is this something that FFXIV has? Maybe when I reach lvl 10 and the Armory opens up, this feature appears as well?

Also, I have been on http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/ quite a bit reading up and "studying" the game. I still can't find on this site where it lists the armor types I am to wear as a Lancer. Do I wear Leather so I'm a bit more nimble or chain/plate because my main stat is strength? The info is probably there, I just missed it.
