Can't you use glamour plates to accomplish the same thing tho? (Not discounting what you're saying its a valid thing)
No, this is the worst. You can achieve what you are trying to do by dying the outfit two different ways on two separate glamour plates. And as to having an extra coffer on your retainer how would you fuck up and lose something? You'd have to manually confirm discarding every piece of the 2B gear.
Here's a long thread about it if you want more.
You know they have glamour plates for this very reason. Instead of preventing someone who is say on their 12th run of the raid for their first coffer, might learn to make use of the glamour plates.
...thats what glamour plates are for my man
Yeah, you can have a set and dye it in the dresser and re-dye it on a plate.
But ... jet black and pure white are hella expensive. It can easily cost over or around 2mill on my DC to dye a full set either of those colors. You do things that way and you now have 1 of your 15 glam plates that you can
never change unless you're ok with tossing a dye that cost 370-500k a pop on your DC.
To put that into perspective I just lucked out on an afk camper and got my first home for a lil over 3mill. No way I'm pumping 2mil worth of dye into a glam plat, it will make it so that I simply wont ever change it and with my ever growing list of jobs I need as many free plats as I can get. (Wouldn't be a problem if we had 100+ plates but ... we only got 15)
That's why I normally just dye glams I'm gonna use a ton with expensive dyes inside the dresser, so I don't waste gil when I need to change out plates.
Also why I saved almost every Pure white and Jet black I got from retainers ... 5 whites and 4 blacks. Until now I haven't found a glam I'd blow either on.
Serioudly? Incase you mess something up? How?
Oh, lets walk down my memory lane of fuck ups!
This sure looks nice. I payed actual money for this glam just for the legs and boots. Back when we only had 200 slots I hit cap, had to take stuff out, had to put stuff inside a retainer, had to toss stuff to organize and clear up room ... sometime later I try to find the legs and boots. Nope, no luck. Not in retainer, not in any bag, not in dresser ... I clearly tossed them without knowing. Same goes for the glam I got based on the boss from PoTD, got it JUST FOR for the boots and they are no where to be found where as the lame chest and hat were sitting right in the dresser can it's much easier to til what they are at a glance.
Or gear turn ins.
Up until this expansion I was a pure tank only player ... now I have 2 lvl80 tanks, 2 ranged, Nin and soon to be RDM at 80 as well as level capped Bot/ Min and Weaver. I've never had to keep track of this many gear sets soooooo yeah ... accidentally turned in my highest lvl ranged hand slot to my GC. Didn't matter that they give you more than enough notices, I'm forgetful af and bad at organizing/ keeping track of inventory so if it doesn't look super important to me I glaze over.
I'm legit in a situation where I liked the look of my best lvl80 tank chest gear at the time so I put it in the locker, put in on a plate, took it back out to wear (so I could play with the plate glam before upgrading and having the gear in the dresser for good) and ... yeah. I got tome gear and upgraded that tome gear and what did I do with the gear I wanted to put in my dresser or on my retainer? I broke it down! Now the only way to glam that onto something is to not change that plate or to spend another 200K getting it back so I can put it in a dresser.
So yeah, lets walk down a possible fuck up.
I want to put 2B glam on a custom turn in NPC cause you can dress them up ... but only if you have the items in your inventory, right? So I take them out, apply them to the NPC ... and a hunt train starts or I decide to do turn ins or I get into a map party and forget.
Now time goes by ... hours, a day, 3 days or w/e. I'm doing something and running out of room so I toss stuff that isn't lvl 80 or crafting annnnd 2B gloves/ blind fold/ shoes are now gone cause I was in a rush and didn't pay attention to warnings or pop ups. I've done the same exact thing before, it's something I gotta actively plan for and work against. Tis why the devs allow you to roll on it again and again if you don't have a coffer in your bag, there's no way to make sure someone doesn't accidentally lose gear so if the game can't tell that it's legit on your character rn then you're free to roll.
These are the type of things I think about, which normally isn't a big deal. Toss pvp gear? I can rebuy that with a few games. Toss some old dng gear? I can solo grind it as PLD and get it back if I try. Toss seasonal event glam? I can rebuy that when ever I want for like no gil. Toss achievement glam? Same, no big deal ... but this isn't any of those.
So yeah, next week when I run it for the DNC hood I'm gonna roll for another coffer for back up to keep in a retainer in case I fuck up something down the line.
congrats on being the new big bad of 6.0
Hey ... I'll become what I must.
