Thread: Hopes for the 4.2 Glamour System Revisions

I just hope it's good, that's all.

I'm not hoping for specific stuff because I did that before and was sorely disappointed.

There's a transmog vender in the city and you can just select whatever appearance you want on what slots (if you have said appearance unlocked ofc).
Also you could save sets.

System like that would be nice and solve the inventory chizzle.

It does kind of suck for leveling, though, as your transmog is undone about 6 times per level unless dungeon-grinding and unlucky in doing so. I've heard plenty of players in the WoW forums, too, begging for to-slot, rather than to-item, transmogrification mostly for that reason.

And that really should not be the case given that there are still significant disadvantages for playing all jobs on one character and this game invites at least a slightly higher than normal percentage of role-players, who would then basically need those extra characters to provide the variance of created perspectives or personas they're looking for. And yet I'm very hard pressed to think of game that is both as alt-unfriendly and all-in-one-unfriendly, especially given this game's massive inventory toll, as XIV.

It has to be a glamour log of some kind. Nothing else will address inventory issues except letting us dump this endless collection of stuff we might want to glamour one day. I mean, full props to the art team for making so much nice looking stuff! But that's the only real fix.

I don't expect that to be the only change, but that's the only one I (and my overstuffed bags) care about.

Another thing on my glamour wishlist is that I hope they allow more materials to be used to make prisms (assuming they keep the prisms). Unlike prisms that aren't goldsmith or leather, all of the other prism materials have a npc merchant option. Toad leather is in high demand (with a higher price), while all the other types of leather (pieste and raptor, for example) is sitting around on the market board, collecting dust.

The prism recipe should allow the original material to be replaced with a different material of equal or higher item level. There are plenty of materials on the market board, with little to no demand. It all could at least be used for making prisms, especially if new system causes the demand for prisms to increase.
