So, similar suggestions have been made to allow us to wear any item as a vanity item.
Here is a slight alteration of that idea, a paid for service that allows us to convert regular items into wearable vanity.
So, I have my occult set intact but would like to continue to display it. I travel to the Fashion Merchant and pay for a special type of thread spool (graded based on level etc: small gold thread spool 5G, regular gold thread spool 10G etc) Since my occult gear is level 20 I require 1 reg. spool for gloves, boots, helm, 2 for legs and 3 for chest (azraq would require the same corresponding number of small spools)
(This idea is based off of fusing gem process in case anyone points out the similarity )
Then I go to the converter and "craft" my bound vanity version of the original item. This way, any wearable piece of armor, can be made to vanity if the player likes it enough and it introduces a costly gold sink.
In this way you could also convert these items back to bound wearable armor items should you so chose to pay the same price to undo the process....
Comments and feedback welcome to help refine the idea (as well as links to other topics if it has been posted somewhere else and I missed it along the way )
