    The Glamour Dresser sounded great...but it really isn't...

    I assumed that even though the items were no longer physical that you could open the dresser, open your character armor window and be able to right click an item in a slot, choose Glamour, choose item from chest or armoire, and still directly attach similar to how it was done before. I thought Glamour plates would be a nice bonus system that would allow you to have shared armor sets have 2 different looks depend on which class currently had it equipped (that part is somewhat true). I didn’t expect everything to have to be done via the plates, even if just for a single piece.

    I have been able to get back some of the stuff that I added to the chest through various means like the Calamity Salvager, but a lot of items, especially Mog Station ones I can't get again (if someone knows how to do this without having to spend real money please tell me, they do not show on the calamity salvager).

    Until changes are made to the system, I strongly suggest just glamouring the old way.

    I am also annoyed that the Garo items I farmed via PVP only show on the Salvager if you got the title that went with the set, in some cases I just got 1 or 2 pieces and now I will have to go through PVP hell to get them again if I really want them. Any Garo item you bought from the priest should be on the salvager, not only if the title was achieved.

    they are not there for a limited time, they are mostly there to stay to be honest, you could had just keep them or you can easy refarm the piece you want to glamour since they are pretty cheap nya

    The reason why it's tied to the title achievement of a set, is because the calamity salvager works with quest and achievement flags, so it wouldn't work with individual items purchased.

    All gears of the Salvager NPC are bound by achievements. They only show up if you have the achievements of them.
    And for the Garo gear you only get the achievement if you speak to the NPC wearing the full set (without the accessories).

    Which raises an interesting question.

    Why aren't the Salvager items just automatically included in the glamour dresser, like the items stored in the armoire?

    True. However, most of the items available at the Salvager are initially acquired, for free, either through achievements or quests (main story or sidequests), which I would assume is the reason why those items are available through the Salvager in the first place. Also, most of the items available at the Salvager would be used for glamour purposes only. I would think, at the very least, that there should be an option to apply those items to glamour plates, without the need to have them take up space in the dresser. The data is already there, I see no reason not to take advantage of it in this way.

    Can't you still glamour the old way? The simple solution would be to not use your mog station gear on the dresser. And if you do, the game should give a warning that what you're using is a mog station exclusive item.
