Suggestions for a solution to a Glamour problem

[SokiYagami]

Not to mentioned materia melding as well. DoW/M might be fine since each job more or less favor different stats, but what about DoH/L? Glamour overlay is still the way to go but it doesn't seems like we will be getting that anytime soon (or ever). /le sigh

This is one of those "it's not going to be easy but it should be done" issues.

I would like to see the introduction of a Glamour Log. You would have a set number of pages you could assign glam to then click on said page to apply it to your current class. What's more you could then use macro's to swap on demand.

For complete glamour freedom one would pretty well need:
- A glamour catalog (0/1 achievements, essentially -- have you ever soulbound this gear).
- Slot/AC-based glamouring (would require the data of one additional armory slot, sans all but model and dye).

A glamour log is still the best solution, as it's just a checklist of whether or not you have the ability to glamour the appearance of an item onto another item.

It's the best solution for a different issue.

There's two really big issues with glamour, and lots of requests for fixing each of them:
A) We can't collect more than a trivially few glamour appearances because the only way to do so is to store all the gear for them (with no place to do so).
B) We cannot have different glamour appearances while using the same base gear.

A glamour log is the fix to issue (A), but not to issue (B), which is the one this thread is about.

B isn't a huge issue if
1) The glamour-log cost is front-loaded and there's no longer a charge to actually apply glamour.
and
2) You can macro glamour changes.
A little unwieldy, but any other solution to B is going to be somewhat unintuitive (and potentially obnoxious if you don't want different glamour for each job; I use the same set for almost everything.)

[Niwashi]

Best fix as far as I can see is to:
1) Change gear sets to being stored on the server rather than our client (which really should happen anyway, regardless of this glamour change).
2) Then change glamour so that instead of applying it to a piece of gear, we apply it to a gear set.
3) And give each piece a simple selection (like the helmet show/hide toggle) of whether to display the glamour or the base item.
