- You set up your appearance the way you like.
- You buy or craft (some number, possibly 1) Glamour Prisms based on the item level of the equipped gear.
- You then use the Prism, which binds to you and takes on the appearance of that gear.
- You do something with the Prism (equip it in a new item slot?) to assume that appearance.
That's pretty sweet, especially for crafters.It's not what I'd like (a full Appearance tab), but it's a lot nicer than a typical "fusion" system.
I'm curious if it will be the full set or if it will be slot based, more like the appearance tab style. This [I think] would help make the crystals more versatile over the long run since you could swap items across jobs that couldn't normally use them as well as making the crystals bound to the level range of the particular item instead of the full set.
For example, the ever popular Ul'dah Dancer look has DoW only sandals, but the pants are DoM, I would think that you would either drag, or perhaps right click use [like turning in an item for seals at a GC] then select the item you want it to mimic. maybe the shoes in this case, then switch to a DOM and equip the prism to the feet. [Or other uniforms for organizations, I think its the brass blades that have a shield thats similar to a THM one? I could be crossing wires..]
I'm curious how far and if at all they'll allow you to carry over the appearance of things you aren't allowed to use on another class. Another two things I would be curious about is
1. Dual slot items prism into one slot, would it show the unprisimed piece as priority or the prism? [I imagine the prism appearance would have priority, but then that brings up the reverse, what if i'm wearing the darksteel top but equip the prism head of Valor circlet, would I have a bare chest? or would I need to equip another prism for it to be viable?]
2. Weapons, theres of course "will they let me prism my dagger to look like a cane" but also how will they handle 2h, or MH/OH combos? I think it would be interesting [though unlikely] to have Paladins running around carrying an Axe, even if that meant they would have to unequip a shield.
oooh~ I wonder if you could prism "nothing" and make that into a blank slot to cover up off hand items and swap the main hand.. hrm.
