The Fashion Report

Found a 100 with details

Just tried the same setup as above but I thought any Platinum scarf would work and i was wrong... Platinum scarf of fending only gave me 4* and not a gold coin. Be careful if anyone is crafting/buying one.

I did that same set up too using the casting version on the neck and got a 99.

Unfortunately, these are just accusations, if we look at all the BiS items, they haven't shown much favoritism. It's mostly people finding excuses to hate fashion report.

Just some options for people who don’t have a Mage leveled high enough.

With the proper dyes

Tantra Chestwrap gives 3 Stars
Witch’s Gloves gives 3 Stars.

If you have the other items this will give you 88 points with the correct dyes, which are easily available this week.

The omnisex Thavnairian chest also gives 3 stars.

Ok so I get how Allagan Attack = aiming neckpiece. Attack, aiming, sure. But, uh. Platinum scarf of fance = Allagan anything? How? Am I missing something? Does one of the NPCs in Crystal Tower or Coils wear this?

It requires Allagan Catalyst as part of the crafting recipe - I dont know if any of the NPCs related to Allagan culture is wearing one of them, but I could see the connection there.

I'm glad there's some connection but that kind of feels to me like a really long stretch.

These are supposed to be clues that help us figure things out, using recipe items is soooooo tenuous that I just have to /sigh. But I'm glad folks are on the ball figuring stuff out. Now my friend can get her 100 and we can be done with this event minus the 60k per week.

Huh, didn't know dyes affected the stars, thought it was only the score itself. The dyes I used were of the right colour family, but not exactly correct:

To be honest: After some hints and the items they turned to be out (Hello, Sky-Pirate-Pants!), I almost expected this and had thought about this item already. But then again I waste precious brainpower to remember about 80% of the games recipes, so stuff like that would just pop into my head...

If its any consolation to you: The weapons that "go" with the Platinum-stuff are modeled after weapons the bosses in the Crystal Tower Raida are using - so you could say the necklace is part of a set thats directly related to Allag.

Some links here will help to explain.
It's all about points, and stars take into account the undyed points and the dyed points. This is why we ask people to provide the undyed rating, otherwise everyone screams 'I got a 3*/2* with this random piece of equip I have!' while all it is, is just a 1* undyed item that got boosted by the dye to the 2/3* point bracket.
ANY equip in themed slot give 1* = 2 points.
Give it the correct family dye, it jumps to 4 points.
Give it the best dye, it jumps to 5 points.
Translate it back to stars - 4 point is 2* and 5 point is 3*.

Also the other thing we keep hearing is 'I got multiple gold item, but I can't reach 80 points' - well that's because their gold is post-dye. We don't consider those true gold items, they're just 3* or 4* boosted to gold, and therefore still can be missing a lot of points.

So for the comments saying "if you can't wear X, wear x and x dyed, they give 3*" is pretty much "wear anything in that slot with the right dye"?

And sure enough, going from gloom purple to currant purple changes the star count.

And thanks for the helpful link, acolyte, will have to reference that in the future.

The Thav tights also work in this week's setup. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...018_141929.jpg

Yes, the proper dye will net you slightly more points.

On another note, the Berserker’s scarf (neck) from Sohr Khai/Hullbreaker’s Isle (hard) has the same model as the 100 neck slot item this week. Unsure on the points it gives, but it would be easily farmable if someone wasn’t wanting to spend Gil on the crafted item.

I got a 93 with:

weapon (currant purple)
thavnairian headdress (rhotano blue) - gold
witch's gloves (current purple) - 3 star
thavnairian sarouel (meadow green) - gold
shoes (charcoal grey) - gold
allagan earrings
platinum scarf of aiming - gold
allagan bracelets
ultima band x2

Swapped the hands out with archaeoskin gloves of casting (currant purple) - gold and only got a 99.

Luckily, I had already made a rhotano blue thavnairian turban (although I was hoping to sell it! ha) so putting that on got me 100.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...74/unknown.png

Both the Thav. Headdress and Tights were dyed Celest Green. Chest is Ink Blue.

Going to give it another try once I've gotten some gloves, and the winning neck piece made. I might use a couple of my remaining attempts to test out other gloves to see how they work, just for more options.

Exactly! It's just many people are not aware of how the points work so they just thought they got a new alternative.

The healer's Thaliak's top and the archeoskin gloves of healing seem to be worth less than the casters sets even when dyed, which is very annoying.

Yup, that happens when they're showing favor towards a class. Last time, the caster gloves was worth less than healing.

They want to allow as many classes to get 100 instead of letting one job hog all the glory, which would ruin the fun.

If that was the case... they would do it so all the classes that share the same models would get the full score, don't you think? In those cases you mentioned BOTH casters and healers.

Is there any other glamour items than the spring shirt from the fashion report. Scored 100 and still don't see any new items added. I got score from each present of at least 94 for each week so better this week see new items open up.

It's not about the current score. You need a cumulative score of 600 to unlock the next set of items.

Hm. The dyes this week are easy. But the items not so much. The only thing I have access to are the gloves (and I guess the necklace, if I were to push my master crafting, but I might not even have what it takes to craft).

With all the right dyes on random items, I can hit 70. Will the Archaeoskin gloves push me 10 whole points, or should I not even bother?

here's a Reddit Link for what they found for the week, sorry if someone posted it already I couldn't find it.

You can get 80 with just gloves and necklace that's not crafted

Welp. Since I don't have a 60 yet, guess not. Not that I can really complain about that. I could get there if I pushed. But I like trying to keep my jobs balanced instead.

If you're just trying to get the points, the Thavnarian Bolero is worth 3 stars...

We just had this discussion on the last page (and every week previous): any item will be 3 stars with the correct dye.

I'm glad we finally got a week where everyone could go to 100 without counting on an excessive luck or spending $$$ on the Mog Station (or dozens of billions of gils for the dyes)...
This should always be like that, rewarding efforts put in the game. Instead of prioritizing cash players, or those who had the luck to be able to take part in the right events...

Before heading out, a short translation of the german hints for this week:

Theme: Citizen of Skalla (Bürger Skallas)

Chest: "Skallaisch" - no real translation needed, just the adjective of the word Skalla
Legs: hip-short (hüftkurz)
Shoes: rolled up (umgekrempelt)
Earrings: To cute for this world (Zu süß für diese Welt - its the same hint thats always been used for the "Cute as a button"-hint)
Necklace: Ultimativ

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The only question about that chestpieces is obviously: Will any Skalla-chestpiece do?

I expect the legs to be the Uraeus-miniskirt, since thats only covering your hip for both genders - there are obviously a lot of hotpants for the ladies, but not so sure about the male versions of that gear. Maybe some of the underpants we got to go with the Yukatas could work aswell?

Shoes... several jobs have access to shoes with some sort of rolled up part - so maybe the 100-score is locked behind having the right ones and any Skalla-pieces will do?

Earrings - maybe the Peach blossom ones...? Personally I'll try my blue bird too, but since thats very limited, I dont expect it to be that.

Neck has to be Ultima or Proto-Ultima.

They seem to like to throw curveballs with the hints sometimes, so I am not entirely convinced it’s a Skalla chest piece yet. It could easily be something related to the Lochs, or Ala Mhigo.

The boots could be PVP related, referring to The Fold, instead of appearance.

we had the Finally Fantastical/Ultimatic/ect hint already a few weeks ago, which ended up being a ring from Ultima's bane

mmh, you might be right about the chest-piece - given the theme ("Citizen of Skalla" - at least thats how I'd translate the german hint) it could obviously be something someone who lived in that city was wearing. The mobs that are actually people turned into monsters by the mad king tunr back into people once they're killed... maybe we need to pay attention to what they're wearing.

For the boots - nothing in the german hint points towards PvP. "Umgekrempelt" literally means "rolled up" (or I guess you could say "folded" at the top part of the shoes...) - the word doesnt sound like any of the PvP-modes (neither english nor german), so I'd consider that unlikely. Unless there are some PvP-boots that are rolled up...

I was going off the English clue,
In the “Fold” as a reference to the PVP zone The Fold.

That is interesting about the monsters in Skalla, I haven’t noticed that before. Will have to pay more attention next time I get it for a roulette.

Cross linking BiS for this week

88 with piper dyes and 1 Star earnings
(Tremor earrings) and chest (guardian corps coat) will experiment with a couple items later and post results for trying to find some alternatives for people.

Was a bit sad, had access to the platinum paramours necklace, but none of the earrings. I really need to be more thorough on events.

Peach Blossom Earings 2 Star

Forced 3 star with Ala Mhigan Coat of fending (so 1 Star).

Quaint earrings 1*
Anemos Jacket 1*
