    Glamour Dresser and job switches

    Having returned to FFXIV since last patch of HW, I was thankful for the many small changes that each made a big impact.

    What made my life as a collector much easier; the inventory expansions and glamour dresser.
    Finally I have the space to hold all the tank(PLD) gear I have collected since ARR.

    With this glamour plate addition I feel another glamour problem needs to be tackled.. class specific gear, and gear that is used by multiple classes.
    I love to switch between the 3 tank jobs, as they each come with such a different playstyle.
    However, my PLD has PLD only gear from PVP, so does my DRK, if I were to change jobs, it would show the -less favourable- unglamoured gear.

    What I would like to see is the option to apply a glamour to armor that changes along with your job.
    ex: Augmented Shire Custodian's Chestplate:
    >PLD: Lionsiege Cuirass (PLD)
    >DRK: Armor of the Behemoth King (DRK)
    >WAR: Titanium Cuirass of Fending (PLD DRK WAR)

    Knowing this could become a mess of code to get right, I don't think relying on glamour plates is a viable option. Instead I'd love to have specific glamour slots for each piece where (if the job is unlocked) a slot opens up on the armor piece for all possible jobs.
    This would not have to seem any different from any glamour options we have now.
    Perhaps a "Glamour master" and a "Glamour minor" option can be sufficient,
    where master overrides any job (current behaviour),
    and minor overrides it only on the job currently active.

    What do you think?

    TL;DR:
    Allow players to glamour the same armor piece differently on multiple jobs,
    allowing the gear to switch based on their job.

    Glamour dresser is just a glamouring shortcut. The game can't handle giving items multiple glamours and tracking when to apply what. Your only solution is to use separate plates for each job that needs separate glamours.

    At some point I've heard that they want to make glamours tied to gearsets with the glamour plates at least. But for now if you want something like that there is macros on can use to swap a glamour plate as soon as you swap jobs. Sadly this means using multiple plates for different jobs.

    I have a mzcro that can do it... but oonly in cities and housing... :


    Macro to change job and Glamour plate a the same time with the job icon :

    for me mch is n°1 job so:

    /micon 1 gearset
    /gs change 1 2

    the first /gs sub command is the number of the gearset (for me 1 is mch , 2 is BRD....
    second sub command is the the number of the Glamour plate
    be ready for a huge amount of notifications ...

    you can even use multiple plate for same job with this method !

    Thanks for posting the macro. I was too lazy to look it up.
