Took a look at the gear sets for the upcoming alliance raid and very quickly noticed some of the sets have gendersplit leg pieces with shorts for females, pants for males.



This arbitrary change of gear appearance between the genders has happened multiple times this expansion and they really need to give us some sort of explanation for why they keep doing it. ]]> Items, Synthesis, and Gathering SkankyRoe https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/527489-ONCE-AGAIN-ladies-stuck-with-shorts-guys-stuck-with-pants https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/527439-Request-Cocobuki-Head-Face-Bandage-for-Facewear?goto=newpost Sun, 12 Apr 2026 01:02:23 GMT Title, basically.

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to make a very personal request—one that comes from the bottom of my heart. Although I am a relatively new player (I’ve been exploring Eorzea for about three months), I am completely captivated by the world you have built.



If you look at my account data, you will notice that the name 'Grohl' appears everywhere, from my character’s last name to my Chocobo. This is because Grohl is the name of my dog in the real world.



Grohl is a French Bulldog who came into my life during a very difficult time. He has been by my side through everything. I know every owner says their dog is the best in the world, and I don't want to fall into clichés, but he is more than just a pet; he is my most faithful companion and has truly saved my life more than once.



He is now 11 years old. Although he is still strong and I do everything possible to give him the best quality of life, I know that, eventually, the inevitable will happen. I don't feel ready for that day. It might sound a bit sentimental, but I would love to be able to continue living adventures in this game by his side.



My request is to ask if you could consider adding a fawn coat French Bulldog minion to the game. Being able to have him with me throughout the rest of my journey and all the future content you release would mean the world to me.



I know this is a deeply personal request, but you have no idea how happy it would make me to imagine him next to me in-game. It would be a way to keep seeing him by my side even when he is no longer with me in person.



Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for the incredible world you’ve created.



Best regards,

I think the fundamental issue is that items from previous expansions are useless, and even dungeons one level lower drop terrible gear compared to the next level. I don't know if you're familiar with the Final Fantasy XI MMO, but the drop system there is fantastic. Every monster drops, or has a chance to drop, a chest with gear, consumables, or equipment. Some notorious monsters that appear under certain conditions even drop equipment that can be useful in high-level areas because it doesn't just depend on stats. The equipment itself has skills like Auto-Resurrection, which automatically revives you if you die, or things like increased luck in the chance of obtaining rare items or an EXP boost. This isn't endgame; it's in the open world, and you can start farming these lower-level monsters at level 3 or 4 and sell the equipment for a lot of money. Initially, this is incredible for new or veteran players, and in the endgame... Fantasy 14 doesn't have that; the dungeon gear in chests is garbage, either synthesized or used to exchange for seals, which is useless in your adventure. I think they should take the path of FF11, at least in this drop system. In FF14, there's no incentive to explore the world other than doing trains or completing the 60 Fates per zone. The monsters in low-level areas drop junk, not chests, and the A, B, and S ranks are nothing particularly rare, making exploration worthwhile or fun, even alone or with friends. ]]> Items, Synthesis, and Gathering AzaelGGO https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/527396-Regarding-gear-system-%28PLEASE-we-need-this-SQE%29 https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/527337-Retroactive-Removal-of-Hidden-Gathering-Mechanic?goto=newpost Fri, 03 Apr 2026 11:53:22 GMT A minority of gatherable items have a chance to not appear at their gathering locations.

There is an ability (Luck of the Pioneer/Mountaineer) that costs 200 GP you can use to reveal these items on a single node. This means once you've revealed the item and gather it from that particular node, you'll have to use the ability again at the next node if the item is hidden.

I find this to be very irritating and limiting when trying to gather these items. It's nice that this was removed from Stormblood and later expansions, but the mechanic still exists in A Realm Reborn/Heavensward. For the sake of permanent relevancy with gathering (leveling, collectables, submarines, etc.) in these parts of the game I'd like to see the feature removed. ]]> Items, Synthesis, and Gathering Amelia_Velasong https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/527337-Retroactive-Removal-of-Hidden-Gathering-Mechanic https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/527329-Make-the-full-set-of-iL50-job-gear-level-45?goto=newpost Thu, 02 Apr 2026 14:09:23 GMT The fifth piece of iLevel 50 (artifact) job gear should be level 45 and acquired with the rest of the set as part of the level 45 job quests.

Just stick it with one of the other pieces as part of the existing quests.

It is completely redundant as part of the level 50 quests, which now also provide the iLevel 90 gear, but would be a welcome upgrade at level 45. ]]> Items, Synthesis, and Gathering Korbei https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/527329-Make-the-full-set-of-iL50-job-gear-level-45 https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/527309-Warg-Jackets-glam-request.?goto=newpost Wed, 01 Apr 2026 05:59:57 GMT This is mostly a throw away tread. Nothing to really discuss or fight about.
It's something that won't be on page one for long.
Just a personal request that will probably never happen.

So, I really like the Warg Jackets from Shadowbringers. Even if they can't be dyed.
There is however a reason I don't wear them.
It's the tails. I'm just not a fan of them.

However, in cases like this I would just write the gear off.
The tail is part of the design I won't bother asking for a version without them.
Example: I like the Woad Skydruid's Fur from Heavensward, but not so much the tattoo.


That being said. Dawntrail has added versions of the jackets without tails.
Only NPCs have them. Notably NPC Tawhe kind of has the one I want.
She is using Aiming or Striking Warg Jacket without a tail while I'd like the Warg Jacket of Scouting without a tail.

I mostly just like the scouting one's colors a little more due to the undyeable thing.
The Maiming or Fending Warg Jacket without a tail is also being used by Dawntrail NPCs.

I figure I'd post this now so that maybe these versions of the Warg jackets can be dungeon gear or something one day. It's already in the game just not accessible for players yet.

With the amazing glamour update, I've been playing around trying to find that perfect glam and I've found it. Just that final piece is right there out of reach.

Anyway, Tahwe can be found at Mehwahhetsoan in Shaaloani. If you want a good look.

As for the Fending/Maiming if you've done the Dawntrail melee role quests you've for sure see it already.

Side note: I'm surprised they've never made an alternate version of the Woad set.
It's another amazing rough fur glam. Though maybe there's hope. They made an alternate version of the WHM weapon Prester in Dawntrail.
Plus, already won with the Riversbreath Chestwrap of Casting. I liked the Paglth'an Chestwraps.
Just not a fan of temporary tattoos that come off with the outfit or on Fur/scales when I'm Hrothgar/Au ra. ]]> Items, Synthesis, and Gathering TKMXIV https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/527309-Warg-Jackets-glam-request.
