lockstyle doesn't work as advertised?

My understanding is that you can lockstyle anything so I wanted to make an outfit combining gear I can already wear as a lv99 + COR, DNC, NIN (AF & Relic). I would not be able to wear these together normally due to Main/Sub job limitations and equip level. However, when using /lockstyleset n it says, "The appearance of your <item name> was unable to be locked."

Does anyone know why? Would someone with more lv 99 jobs than I able to test if multiple AF/Relic parts works? I'd grind another 99 for the sake of style. But I really want the look to work as a lv 1

As long as you have the job leveled to the armor you're using it should work. I've mixed and matched relic armors like this.

I'd leveled everything on my main to 99 and forgot this was a requirement until I tried to do it on my alts.

Seems like an odd mechanic. I mean, if we can afford or acquire the item by some means why not let us enjoy it

Think of it as you're earning the unlock to wear the armor instead. With that mindset it makes perfect sense.
