    [Request] More nature/plant themed gear

    For starters I'd like to explain the reason for this request because it might seem a little weird for FF fans. I spent a big chuck of my gaming history playing WoW and it has shaped my glamour preference to a kind that isn't represented very well in this game. My first character was Druid. For those who are not familiar with it, it was a class that channels the might of stars and the sun for offensive magic, draws healing energy from the nature and shapeshifts into animals to tank, dps or travel. Their outfits portrayed this link with nature very well. Below are a few of my favourite Druid tier sets (sorry for the low quality).



    In this light I'd like to ask if it would be possible to get more nature themed armor or glamour? I feel the "Woad Sky-" sets we've gotten in Heavensward were a good start, but all that leather makes me think of shamans, barbarians or hunters rather than druids. I would love some plant life in our gear! Flowers, leafs, plant prints, wood, mushrooms etc... Some weapons are like this already (WHM especially) but it's difficult to find matching gear. EDIT: Here's the closest I could get to looking like a Druid. There were no plants whatsoever in any pants or boots. The weapons and circlet are the kind of gear I would personally like more of.




    As a fan of birds I would also like to request more feathery clothing, like headdresses or decorated jackets. And please make the Ehcatl Wristgloves dyable too.

    At first thought, this style of gear might seem a bit out of place compared to the general look of our battle gear. However there are a few settings in-game that would be suitable for bringing it out: Twin Adders, beast tribes, the summer event, new dungeons or primals (if they are plant themed), the next Diadem or hunts (what else are those monster corpses used for??) to name a few. I would also be fine with the gear being crafted level 1 glamour pieces. The devs already design animal themed gear whilst keeping true to the FFXIV fashion, so I don't think it would be any more difficult to draw inspiration from plants.
