Just a few feature/systems I'd like to see Implemented/updated as we move towards 6.0.
1. New job(s)
- healer and caster to start rounding out the number of non-restricted jobs in each category to 4. If we only get 1 new job my vote goes to healer, we haven't gotten one since HW. but enough about jobs.
2. A "Glamour Log" in line with the Gathering logs. While I feel the dresser was a step in the right direction this system could be improved on. The main idea behind having this as a log rather than a pile of unused weapons/armor would be to eliminate duplicate entries. Some thoughts on how it could work.
4. Expanded trust system. If Trusts are replacing squadron missions I'd like to see the system expanded into 6.0 and potentially back into 4.0. We have squadrons to cover up until 60 and trusts from 71+, but the NPC parties have a gap in 61-70. I'm personally a fan of the no-pressure alternative to learning mechanics.
5. And lastly, Performance mode for DNC. I know there is/was supposed to be a revamp of this system altogether, I'm hoping DNC gets added in with the revamp.

- To keep the market for glamour prisms alive, adding an appearance to the log costs 1 prism just as it does to add the same item to our glamour dresser. Something I personally would like to see is that if a relic weapon's appearance is added to the log then all previous appearances are unlocked as well (I'm personally a fan of the base SAM and RDM resistance weapons and retaining that appearance option would be nice).
- Items that share a mesh and texture (ie. Ravel keeper's earrings of ___) can be consolidated to cut down redundant entries. Perhaps a check box for if you've acquired the Fending, Aiming, Striking, etc. versions of that item or separate the log into categories the same way the new poetics vendors are. Alternatively, drop the 'of ___' part and just have the entry be "Ravel Keeper's Earrings." Whatever is easiest to pull off in the codebase.
- The glamour dresser, and cast glamour action, now reference appearances recorded in the log. In order to deal with the huge number of items, filter options by role or compatibility (meets ilvl/class restrictions) would be a major QoL feature on the user's end.
3. More glamour plates. If the trend of the last 2 expansions continues we will have 19 jobs. I'm sure there's more than a few out there who will want more plates.- Items that share a mesh and texture (ie. Ravel keeper's earrings of ___) can be consolidated to cut down redundant entries.
