Use Stats but Not Looks of Vanities

[Ripanda]

This sounds silly, but an idea...

I miss the days of seeing people in dungeons running their fun looks, instead of only using them in towns.

I believe there should be a way to apply the stats of vanities without having them equipped, limited to one per slot.

This meaning you could be wearing the 'White Lightning' Set, getting all the visuals from the White Lightning set, but having the stats equipped from using a 4 Piece 'Bone Devil' set for example.

I think this would be a good alternative to seeing everyone using the exact same gear in dungeons, and adding back that variety we have not seen in years.

I think this could work as either: A scan on your inventory and you select the effects you want, or you can select an item per slot and 'Apply' that item which then calculates Bonuses, sets etc how it currently does but does not update the Visuals.

Feel free to leave anything in the comments

I think the cleanest way to implement this is by removing all stat bonuses from vanities (excluding pets) and then making a new vanity or gear slot that can equip those stat bonuses separate to everything else. SL still has the most inventory slots so this wouldn’t be cluttered at all, I think it could work like how equipping the dragon sets rewards you a ring, wearing all 4 pieces of a winter king set will award the player a “winter kings set bonus” item in the new slot that can be worn underneath all your cool vanities. I’ve made a post about item transmogging that adds on to this, really hope something can be implemented so we don’t see 50 generic mermans when trying to grind pve

I think a better way to this is to create a slot like you mentioned for vanity set bonuses, but sometimes you can equip two set effects at once, for example bone devil 3pc and exterminator 3pc, i think the best idea is to be able to create an item by using existing items.

Say you have 3pc bone and 3pc exterminator equipped, you then click 'Create Bonus' or something.. this then creates an item with those set effects on, which can then be equipped into this slot, this would allow for everything currently possible in game but just allow more vanities to be used while grinding.

Additionally this should be 100% reversable, and the 'bonus item' that is created should be account bound, not character.

or maybe once you completed a set, you can trade it/quest for a title/badge that has the set effect imbedded on it, so when we equip the title or badge so we can wear w/e vanity we want to wear, cuz honestly the recent stated vanities looks ain't it...

or have another option instead of "equip" in the vanity section make a "costume" botton masking the equipped vanity with stat with the actual vanity you wanna wear
