Item Request: Glamour Converter - 2-5$

[Niwashi]

I want to just have separate lists of which classes/jobs can equip a piece of gear from which classes/jobs can glamour that piece of gear. AF could still stay job exclusive. Most other pieces would expand to similar jobs (particularly any that have gear of their own that's just a pallet-swap away from being visually the same thing). A lot of boots, hats, gloves, and pants could be "all classes" for glamour purposes; some shirts as well. Even if you think a caster class in full plate armour is out of place, why not let them wear cloth shirts? As a Bard, I glamour a Velveteen Shirt, and see no real reason why DoM classes/jobs shouldn't be able to do the same. It's only the stats and not the appearance that make such pieces DoW exclusive.

SE can keep their no-plate-armour-mages rule if they want. The clearly full plate pieces aren't really the ones I want to cross job boundaries anyway. It's the fact that there are a lot of other pieces which would look perfectly appropriate on a wide range of jobs, but can't be worn on more than one or two of them.


The OP clearly doesn't understand the difference between F2P and P2P games. The notion of paying extra for this in a P2P game is ludicrous. But apart from that detail, I agree with the issue he's trying to solve. I'd solve it a little differently, but his glamour converter item idea would work too (except for how to get it — it would have to be available in-game).

No.

Enough with microtransaction, and for non-plate to wear plate and vice versa that would look silly and ridiculous.

[Mindylou]

No thanks mages wearing plate isn't something I wanna see.

silly silly reason.

definitely would like an item like that, in game would be nice though op.
Never say never many many times developers change their minds ^^

I don't know, I played everquest 2/swg [...] Nobody in PvP was confused because they recognized the classes by their animations and spells.

And in FFXIV, the excuse doesn't really make sense especially in regards to PvP...

Good heavens, I'm so glad people can't "cross-glamour" their gear, otherwise I'd never know which class/job these people were:


(As for people in your own team, you have the icons to go by. Or, as mentioned, weapons and what skills/spells they use.)

That said, I don't approve of even suggesting to take RL money for something like this. It's something they should honestly just fix in the coding. Keep Job-specific gear still Job-specific, because it's supposed to be iconic for your job. Keep the item level restrictions if you must, even if it sucks for crafters and gatherers (whose gear is consistently lower ilvl than the rest). But for the love of Holy, just loosen the restrictions already >.< As has been mentioned over and over again in these forums, 'tanks dressing like mages' already happens. Sure, by using pre-50 gear (when crafted/bought mage gear is "all classes" instead of "DoM"), but still.

Dark Knight in cloth. :I

That is just it. There is no reason whatsoever a Tank can't wear a robe and a Healer can't wear plate if it doesn't offer them any stat bonuses or anything. Its not like it restricts them for lore reasons - as in we see tanks in some robes and healers in a little plate now. It just seems cut-off and unfinished.

Tanks do wear robes oh lol from the library tbh it's fugly

This is an idea I had for SE to make some money.

no please do not add something like this to the cash shop

make it a 15-30k MGP Item.

this I wouldn't mind

This would be only for armor and only armor you own. You cannot do this for an item you do not have, possess or own.

The item can now only be used to be glamoured onto other items.

Converts said item into a level 1 with no stats or requirements and the item is now usable for all classes.

Yes, this would mean plate armor can be used by non-plate wearers. Vice-versa.

SE mentioned a new feature for you to try on a bunch of equipment mixing and matching it. We already know you can wear plate and cloth on any character and its fine. I don't see why this restriction is needed anymore and SE could make some good money with this feature.

overall I don't see anything wrong with the idea except putting it in the cash shop....

"Cannot be used on Artifact Armor." - Maybe.

I don't see a real reason to keep a restriction like this since they keep ignoring lore anyway

For people that dont want mages in plate or warriors in robes theres a simple solution.

A glamour toggle option in settings.
