    Glamour Log could do more than just compile glamours.

    I know we've talked about this before and we've been given reasons as to why it'd be difficult to implement. I feel though that adding a glamour log to the game would greatly benefit the playerbase and the world of the game itself.

    Firstly, a glamour log would remove a lot of clutter from player storage. I've limited the gear I keep to what I deem minimal, but that combined with one time items I've still got a retainer that's nearly full of just gear I keep for glamour purposes. I know many people are much worse off with multiple retainers full of gear. While this is a big bonus for players, I can also see how the higher ups in SE wouldn't be too happy about this point since it might cause some players to stop pay for extra retainers.

    Secondly, It would be a great chance to breath life into older content again. I know personally that I'd be spending weeks/months going through old content to try to collect every piece of gear I could for a glamour log and I'm sure many others would also. I know a few people that even already put together glam farm parties, a glamour log would only expand on these communities.

    Thirdly, It doesn't need to be resource intensive. We've already seen the devs put in limitations on content they feel would put too much strain on the servers. If it's too much for the servers, limit the glamour log to same areas as the glamour dresser atm. If it's still too intensive have it so only one page of the log loads at a time as the player scrolls through it. Not ideal but I'd take it over not having a log at all and having to keep hoarding gear.

    I feel this is something the game sorely needs especially with how much glamour plays into end game play. It'd be a tremendous QoL change for many players and once in place I feel it'd be a benefit to the Devs also with the demand for more inventory space slightly alleviated.

    Sorry if I'm special but you mean like WoW where the glamour list can hold pretty much every visual armor piece possible? (Once put in of course).

    Of course that'd be pretty great, and if that's too many variables to track I feel like they could still work something out by holding them in sets.

    If we need to condense variables I made a post about it before, but the general concept was you collect an area's aether and once capped you'd unlock that section. So if there are 8 weapons from ifrit collect any 10 weapons and now you have all 8 unlocked in your log ("ifrit bowel" = 0 or 1). It was a bit more nuanced than that but pretty close for a one sentence description.
