Jewelry crafting MOTIFS!

Rageypoo

So technically for the jewelry stations to be "in line" with everything else would need knowledge of motifs for the writs...so how absolutely sweet would it be to see motifs for jewelry and necklaces, and then actually SEE those worn on the characters with unique looks!

Obviously that wont happen but...what if right!? I think that would be cool.

Give me capes and cloaks first. Jewelry motifs would be a waste

The game engine isn't built for capes. To the point that the game was intended to have them but they were removed before launch for that reason. More likely to get backpacks.

I would LOVE VISIBLE wearable jewelry motifs. I would not love capes/cloaks. I wouldn't mind backpacks....

I will take back packs. I just don't see how jewelry motifs will be viable. Most outfits cover the hands. And they would be small as well.

I also like the idea of having visible jewelry, but that would be really tough to adjust for all the various chestpiece/glove skins. Probably very few but tailormade pieces would be imaginable. Once they figure out a good way to work with all armor meshes it could be easier to add variations.
Cloaks are less interesting I think. Have not seen a single game where they were done really well.

I don't know how it would be implemented, but i'd imagine people would love to see a sweet glowing ring on their gauntlets, like LOTR style!

Please no more glowing.

Rageypoo

Only some styles would glow, like hollowjack. Others would be silver or gold, earthen or vampiric or animalistic etc. So many motifs with so many possibilities!

There's enough problem with staves and bows poking through existing costumes and hats, can't imagine how bad it would be with capes and cloaks. I'd also think they are incompatible with large (2H) weapons and would get 'theoretically' get tangled up with a lot of weapons.

Yeah. Ugh. Not my idea of a great look.

I like to see bling on Argonian Horns and Teeth, some already have them but adding more to it.

I think they'd work better as style pages rather than motifs.

i really like the chest styles that have neck stuff like Deadlands gladiator medium, sunspire light and medium, silver rose light, regal regalia

the noble clan-chief costume has rings and the shimmerene soiree gown has a really pretty necklace

a few jewelry styles would be nice. for every crafting motif seems really unlikely.
just having the jewelry from those existing styles and costumes separately to use on outfits would be lovely

Agreed. I would love to have the whole "ring bling" from the clan chief costume to use on all my girls!

You'd really want to collect ~244 additional motif pages?

Katheriah

Not sure about motifs, but maybe some form of adornment style pages? For tiaras, jewelry for tails, fingers, feet, arms, ears. Things like that?

I want shinies

Honestly, one of the few things I did enjoy about FFXIV when I finally gave in and tried it out is the fact that jewelry showed.... and as far as I know, I do believe it is the only MMO that puts in the effort to model armor necklaces, earrings, necklaces, and even bracelets. And sometimes, it is the little details like this that make a game stand out. It has become ingrained in me and I now judge every other MMO that doesn't have actual jewelry, but only invisible stat piece jewelry.

Also will always mourn the lack of capes and will never stop throwing salt at Zenimax for not properly designing the game engine to handle the physics for them. Lots of the plate/leather onesies in this game would be at least bearable with a nice cape. At least they seem to be putting a little more detail and effort into newer sets though.... some of them, at least.

I would like belts to be actual belts and not just the buckle.

Yes, and tail, its already an problem that lots of two handed axes cut tails painfully

I would looooove jewelry motifs. Brooches, rings, necklaces, bracelets, piercings.
The only problem I see is that they already kinda monetized major and minor adornments. And jewelry would be used as cash grab, for the prettiest motifs and the actual stuff would likely be really plain.

While we're ad it I also think they could expand the clothing section of the motif tab. I feel that there is a missed opportunity here.

Talk about things you aren't ever going to notice on someone else's character.

This. We do not need huge pieces of jewelry which would look odd. There is just no need.

Oooo - GREAT idea! I'd love to see that happen!

i notice it quite often when people wear chest styles or costumes that have jewelry already

Pointless.

Rather let us craft companion items.
