Feedback: Gear Collection System for Glamour

[Strikes12]

Hey all! Sorry if this has been brought up before but I wanted to send in some feedback about how we collect and store items for doing glams.

Instead of having to keep and store the actual gear/items on person or in a storage location; the piece is 'unlocked' for glam'ing in a larger 'Collection/Glam' system.

I believe this would really help when it comes to system/server resource management and optimization because I can only imagine that it takes a lot of DB space and tables to keep tabs on all these characters and their equipment.

The thought I had would be a menu/screen that you pull up that allows you to search for glams by name, level, or dungeon/raid/location for ease of finding where something came from, in-game. When you get that loot/item you then just 'unlock it' and it can be selected/used for Glams. When you do it (collect it) it eats the piece of gear, but now the system doesn't need to track where it is other than character-x has a simple bit of information 1 or 0 for unlocked or not.

My thought could probably use a little more refining but I thought it would be worth sharing. Probably won't happen, but I thought it was neat! A fun collection system when I can see, easily and quickly, in one place if I've gotten all the gear/glams from a dungeon/raid and what I might be missing.

Hope everyone has a great day! ♥

Oh? xD I have not played. Honestly, it's mainly the technical reduction of resources that really makes it juicy to me lol. As someone that loves to collect... that's second, haha. Being able pull up a location and see if I've collected everything from it?... ohhhh that's a dream.

Oh yeah, not saying your idea is bad at all. WoW's transmog system is leagues ahead of FFXIV--there's even an NPC you can summon anywhere in the open world that you can use to change your gear appearance. Anything that even approaches a shadow of that level convenience is good in my book.

Totally agree, and this has been suggested a lot before. It's such an obvious thing to do but I guess the devs are interested enough

What do you mean by that?
