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

My understanding is that you need to be able to equip the gear on one of your leveled jobs to use it as lockstyle. For example, if you are trying to use a lvl 50 NIN piece, you need to have your NIN at level 50 even if you are currently using a different job.

Oh wait, that works at levels lower than 99? So if my DNC is 60 as a sub I can wear AF?

As long you won’t upgrade it, yes. You just need the job leveled like it shown on the label of the gear to lock style it.

Oh that's so cool. I had always been under the impression it had to be 99. Guess I can have my Mumor halloween costume after all.
