Glamouring a wand over a staff

[Celef]

Hi there !

Like the title says, id'l like SE to allow us to glam wands and sceptres over staff for both WHM and BLM.

Some of those wands are really cute but passed lvl15 they become totally useless :/

Are you not able to? Is it a matter of 1-hand vs 2-hand?

Not only are some really cute, some actually cost money even though they become totally useless.

You're not, not sure why to be honest. You can glamour 1-slot items over 2-slot ones in other circumstances.

It's probably a type restriction. Let's say you want to glamour a tunic over a cloak that forbids headgear. The two are both of type "body". One-handed and two-handed weapons, however, are two different item types.

That seems to be it, and I assume they haven't been merged yet because the item type affects whether you can equip a shield in your off-hand slot.

Considering 1-handed caster weapons are virtually useless now I wouldn't mind if they technically became 2-handers that just look like 1-hand wands.

I don't like staffs, they clip with my giant hat. Wands sit neatly on my hip, very little clipping.

I'd really appreciate an option like this too, but I don't know how they'd handle the shield slot.

One solution would be to make all staves and rods simply just "Conjurer's Arm"/"Thuamaturge's Arm". There doesn't need to be a distinction between two-handed and one-handed. Drop the shield stats (at least for post-50 shields, which don't currently exist for CNJ/THM), so that people can decide for themselves whether they want a staff/rod or wand/scepter, and whether they want a shield glamour. The animations don't change when you're using a staff/rod vs a wand/scepter+noshield vs a wand/scepter+shield, so it shouldn't be such a big deal to go this route and let people go the full range (even staff/rod with shield if they want).

99% the same, the sheathe/draw animation is slightly different as wands rest on the hip when not in use.

Ahh you are right. I was only considering the animations while weapon out.
