I know you're not equipping the item. But still there are rules about whether a glamour is visible or not, and currently the question it asks is: "can you equip the item with this class?" (Result: relic gear is locked to the class because no other class is able to equip it.)

The problem, then, is how is this rule applied, and in what ways can it be changed?

If the question changes to "can you equip the item with any class you have leveled?", or remove restrictions entirely, relic gear is now able to be cross-glamoured once you raise both classes (and we assume they don't want that to happen).

To achieve what they want, the system can't just ask that one question, it needs to recognise the relic gear as 'something special' and not just another piece of gear that is handled by the same rules as everything else.

If they don't/can't do that, then their statements so far indicate that they would rather keep everything locked so the relic gear is 'safe', than throw open the doors and give people that option.

I also have to wonder if at least some parts of the programming "can't see" your other classes - eg. compare the hunting log, which only marks enemies relevant to your current class, and doesn't give an indicator for anything else.
