    Glamour challenge - make the job from forbidden sets!

    As one of my fellow players advised, I'm starting this thread hoping to gather attention for the outdated glam restrictions, to look at outfits and to prove further that it's worth opening up the glam scene.
    Hoping, that maybe the creativity of the community will have some more impact to loosen the glam restrictions.
    And because I believe there would be many players who would create interesting and fun sets fitting the job identities if they could use even just a fraction more pieces than what we can as of now...

    (Thread coming from: https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...ther-jobs-sets)



    Let me reiterate here my previous post to start this off:

    That's a picto and a viper!

    But oh wait... (those are pieces only from the lvl60 DoH/DoL script sets)


    So here I am to ask
    • to post your fully forbidden glamours mixed and matched to fit a job identity
    or
    • to challenge y'all to do a more limited glam, the same as I did: choose an assortment with a limited number of armor sets in it, be that DoH/DoL or DoW/DoM (like I did when I chose the lvl 60 script sets), and make a set fitting a job identity, except mostly - if not entirely - mix and match pieces that the job cannot wear from the assortment only.
    (Double the impact if it's not just a marginally different piece of the one that the job can wear.)


    Glam it up y'all!

    1) An impossible Dancer-like set because the leg slot is the DoM Flame Elite's Loincloth and the headdress is Edengate's healing/striking. The chestpiece is the Coliseum Shawl which is DoM too, and there's an All Classes version of it but dyes horribly. The footwear is also casting, because the aiming variation is slightly different.

    2) An impossible Black Mage set because the YoRHa hood is aiming/scouting

    3) An impossible Red Mage set because the YoRHa shorts are scouting/striking

    4) This would be perfect for a Machinist, except the cool punk'ish pants are fending and the headpiece is striking

    5) I think the headpiece (iirc Skalla's) from this tanking set is Maiming, so impossible to have. The gloves are also striking, because the actual fending one is not as a good match.

    I wonder if anybody would have the cheek to say that any of those impossible sets can break the immersion of their designated job/role.

    Two impossible dancers.

    The first one - the veil is inexplicably locked to Scouting?! The gloves and pants are BRD only.
    The second one - All gear locked to individual crafting jobs despite being the perfect gear for BRD or DNC.

    Would love to rock this on my Machinist - unfortunately it's made out of a Healing Helmet, Scouting Chestpiece and Boots, Fending Gloves and Casting Pants.


    This combo is great for a Reaper but sadly is comprised of a Casting Helmet and Scouting Chestpiece:


    There's also plenty of individual pieces that I'd love to have unrestricted, for example this headgear, which is only Striking or Scouting (but would look amazing on a Paladin):

    The hooded BLM set was a very good idea! But as I quickly gathered, there are not many headgear for that, especially not one as classic a design as the aiming one. It's a real pity.

    Love the sets, really the second one. Particularly, because I have my eyes on goldsmith pieces as well.

    Very Star Wars-ish for me, in a good way. But It would actually fit the game quite well, I think.

    The Yokai Watch MCH weapon will never find a better match than the Vanguard scouting chestpiece...which is the same model as the Vanguard aiming chestpiece, in a different color. (The Vanguard items can be dyed, but some of the most noticeable parts---such as the large pink area on the aiming one---remain the same color, so dyeing them doesn't help as much as you'd think it would for color-coordinating them with other items.) The fact that I'll never be able to wear these two items together truly is a tragedy greater than the Seventh Umbral Calamity:



    There are many similar instances of gear color being restricted by job.

    Something something job fantasy, black mages in heavy armor, bikini tank, chicken suit.

    Forbidden bloms. Can't wear hats and I'm sick of bedsheets so I'm starving for some glams with silhouettes like these. The first pic and the bottom row are my most wanted glams I've ever put together and with every day I don't get to see them actualised my little heart gets more ashen and withered and diminished.
