Allow us to change our "secondary" weapon glamours for monk.

You know how paladin can have red flamey sword and blue flamey shield? I think it would be nice if we are given the option to change our left and right monk weapons as well. Also rdm rapiers and magicked crystal medium could be glammed differently too and it would be cool tbh. I don't think itll be too difficult to implement

The reason it works for PLD is because they actually have an offhand. The sword and shield are two different items. MNK fists are technically one item (you don't have to earn your left and right fists the same way a PLD has to earn his sword AND shield). Same with RDM mediums, they're technically part of the rapier and not an independent thing.

Considering every shield after ronkan has exactly the same block rate and strength, im starting to think they should start merging the shields in to the sword slot aswell like every other single job in the game. PLD is that weird outlier.

The fact that it would kill shield glamours is probably the only reason they haven't already done that.

Honestly, if paladin/gladiator had been added post 2.0 I suspect that the sword/shields would come as one singular item and that we only get it the way it is now because of legacy code, and people would complain about having the options we have now taken away.

Applying ingame logic like that, sure, but it still doesn't make sense considering rapiers and magicked crystal are vastly different from each other that it deserves to be an off-hand as well. What makes sword/shield so different that it gotten "off-hand" stats is beyond me. It still wouldn't hurt to have them glammed differently for classes like nin, rdm, mnk and so on.

I haven't touched mch. I haven't even unlocked it. It's very silly but part of the reason is the lunchbox. I really hate how it looks. I'm also generally not too fond of super techy classes, but the lunchbox is a contributing factor.

[Liam_Harper]

One idea would be to give all classes (or at least some) an off-hand "tool" that serves no purpose other than to apply glamours that overwrites the appearance of a part of your character, such as MCH lunchbox or your left hand weapon. We know adding an off-hand to a class is possible with the code due to Fisher and spearfishing. This glamour off-hand could even customize things like Warriors tank stance aura or the colour of WhM spells or add other little vanity tweaks.

[Jandor]

I think every job that has "two weapons" should be able to convert old weapons into a glamour item that sits in the shield slot and functions as a glamour for your off-hand.



For example, in mock up above the HoH RDM weapon has been converted to a statless crystal focus. When placed in the shield slot it overrides the floating crystal that normally accompanies the Murgleis Anemos with the one from the Empyrean Rapier.

Rogue/Ninja should be able to do it with daggers, Pugilist/Monk with different fist weapons and Dancer with their chakrams.
