Huh, silly me, thinking I could win a Fashion contest without being a fisherman.

Flat Cap dyed Dalamud Red got a gold for me. Or did you already try that and that's where the 99 came from?

This is from one of the first 100 we saw https://i.imgur.com/h4KEzxh.jpg
same two slots missing, others on this thread have made 91 with those slots missing, so something does add up. My first attempted was a 75, with only one gold item, the shirt, so yeah, something feels off.

they are not missing, they are irrelevant. When you equip whatever, they just disappear in the UI and are presented as emperor's accesories.

Wish I could agree, but not true, as you can clearly see over the many screenshots ^_^

Edited to add Yitan, no, all accessories show up, however it is true after looking at it that they are invisible emperor's accessories, get that now based on how it looks via the no shows and I screw up not putting things in for the 14 total point, agh, thanks for the help ^_^ You just worded what you meant a little off.

For things like this you need to think how the game "thinks" - the game isnt basing this on "how does it look?" but "does it meet the requirement in my algorythm?" - honestly one of the reasons I dont like minigames like this to much.
In this case it doesnt matter that both emporer's and nothing at all will look the same - for the game it only matters that there is something in that slot. And emporer's stuff is something.

So yeah, the mindeset for this game isnt "How does it look?" but "What will the game notice?"

Yeah, your edit sounds like you've got it. They're not empty slots, they're just accessories with no appearance.

The dye seems extremely important, as well as the other pieces of equipment, the ones not required : I got 84 with all gold and no other pieces than the required ones, and some here got more than 90 with a 1-star piece...

Thanks for the answers.
Also I agree with the gear scoring that people figured out (7 for nonhinted gear, 3 for correct dye, 2 for incorrect dye in the correct color category, 2-8 for hinted gear depending on stats). I did mine a few times and it matched that.

So glad I got my 100 (and that I'll never have to do it again as the prize is the same for 80-100 so doing it just this once for the achievement.)

I had to power level my fisher from 41 to 60 and do all my class quests from 35 to 60 to do it (and thankfully I had the achievment needed for the lucis, and about 500 scripts, already from Botanist) but it was worth it because I'm an achievement hunter :D

What I don't get is why the achievements are in Character->Class. They should have been in Character->Gold Saucer.

I'm still not quite sure how the scoring system works. If you get bonus points for dyes, does that mean any item that can't be dyed is automatically out of the equation?

Postmoogle was tested and found to be 1 star. Not sure about the Ironworks stuff though!

And yes, for the items on the left (disregarding the waist) they must be dyable for max points. Including weapon.

I had an extra try left after getting my 100, so I tested the Ironworks cap. Dying it the exact same color (dalamund red) it got only 3 stars. Using the exact same rest of the set that I got my 100 with, this only netted me a 94.

I tried with the mandragora choker and got a 1 star as well (bluebird earrings got the standard 4 stars).

If anyone is curious on other things to test, I think I still have 2 attempts left. I dont know if anyone has tried the foragers hat yet but Iḿ pretty sure itś the pants some people are stuck on. Also this laptop hates apostrophes for some reason.

So, now that it's been worked out how precise you need to be for perfect scores, I'm a bit curious to discover how they determine 1-4 star items. Seems likely that just trying to aim for items that visually fit the theme of the prompts doesn't always work. Probably mostly due to loose/vague interpretations of the hints.

Possibly just a dev-curated list of items for 2-4 stars? And everything else just gets a 1?

Used my last try for the week to just check it, but the Serpentskin Bush Hat is a 1 star item.

Has anybody else noticed that Kasumi is selling some more house-decoration items this week? There's a makeup table (minus the actual table), a mannequin with a High House Bustle on it, and a coat rack with an Alpine Coat(? the medieval one) and hat.

Yeah, when they previewed the housing items I was reeeeeeeeally hoping the dress/coat hangers would be interact-able items that we could change the gear on. Alas, they are just static pieces that aren't even dyable. :(

Yeah, I'm pretty underwhelmed by it too, though if there's new stuff *every* week that could be interesting. I wonder how many times it will take before we unlock everything?

I'd prefer the coat rack without the coat on it, actually. (Either that or put the coat on a mannequin like the dress.) Pretty clear that they've just taken the item model as it would be shaped on a character, not even flattened it, and hung it on a hook. It looks weird.

I do recall there being a 'hat rack' type item.

I've got it in my apartment.
I believe it has a cap and a pouch on it..?

Ah, that looks nicer. Thanks.

The next challenge....Keeping it Cool
Weapon: Deep Freeze
Chest: Too Cool
Legs: Pirates in the sky
Feet: Fur and Fluff
Bracelet: Deep Freeze

https://i.imgur.com/z8cukBM.png

so, crafted Shiva gear for the weapon and bracelet perhaps?

The leg armor seems fairly self-explanatory.

The feet armor sounds like those original santa boots, among a couple other things.

Predictions:
Weapon: Deep Freeze- Shiva Weapon(glowing or not might make the 100 diff) or Augmented Hailstorm Weapons (Dyed ????)
Chest: *Fashionably Cool*????????? - ???????????
Legs: Pirates in the sky - Diadem Pants ( Dyed ???)
Feet: Fur and Fluff (Fluff isn't even in the other translations) - Cashmere Boots (Dyed ???)
Bracelet: Deep Freeze - Shiva Bracelet

There is the i200 Hailstorm Coat of Healing/Casting available from Idyllshire, and matching weapons. Though if they have different clues would things from the same set be the correct answer to both?

The boots might be the Woad Sky______'s Boots from Sohm Al.

That could mean the alpine coat.

the dyes might towards be blue and whites, the shoes, albeit i doubt it, it might be boarskin workboots or other DoL leather workboots

Prediction:
Weapon: True Ice/Shiva's Weapons (from Shiva EX and/or Mor Dhona upgrade)or Hailstorm/Augmented Hailstorm Gear (Healers and Caster only) (HW hunt items)
Body: Hailstorm/Augmented Hailstorm Gear (HW hunt items)
Legs: Sky Pirate gear (crafting or Diadem (good luck with that))
Feet: Highland Boots or Glacial Boots (Crafted) (Maybe Reindeer Hooves or Moogle Legs, those have fur on them >w>)
Bracelet: True Ice Bracelets (Shiva EX) or Primal Bracelet of Casting/Healing/Augmented Primal Bracelets of Casting/Healing (HW hunt items)

I'm gonna guess that the color scheme is going to be Whites and Blues

My thoughts!

Weapon - Shiva's (Maybe since not dye-able have to have the upgraded Diamond version over Icy for full points)
Chest - Not the clearest clue ever my guesses are Glacial Coat or Highland Smock (Both Dye-able)
Legs – Once again sounds like the name is in the clue: Sky Pirate's Trousers/Bottoms/Gaskins of Healing/Aiming/Fending etc. (Bought with 5 Brass Sky Pirate Spoils or crafted) – dye-able
Feet - Glacial Boots? Have the fur and fluff going on – dye-able
Wrist - Shiva bracelet

Dye guesses -ice blue and snow white to go with the theme! (Though dyes haven't been part of the theme but sounds good to me and neither are rare ... my luck the blue will be Metallic Sky Blue my favorite color ever don't need to see those prices go crazy)

PS: You really think the mods would get grumpy if we started a new thread each week? “Week 3 Fashion Challenge” would make brainstorming so much easier!

Chinchilla hide has shot up in price. Those Glacial coat and boot mats xD

Weapon: BiS definitely is not Shiva. It may get a gold coin, but it won't be as good as a dyed Hailstorm.
Chest: Can't guess.
Legs: Sky Pirate trousers, no question. I bet there's people who have no access to Diadem that's going to buy it off mb for $$ though.
Feet: Woad Sky boots? But I'm guessing Cashmere Boots just because it has a yellow scrip item like New World Hose.
Wrist: Primal Bracelet to fit the weapon, could be Shiva too, but given the same clue, I think Primal would fit also

My thoughts is that there's gonna be less and less people who discuss about Fashion Report, it'll get old quick, and people who cares would just lurk around and see what did people try.

If it's gonna be Cashmere Boots, I'm not even gonna play with the market. The Wool Top is 500k in my server and so is Fine Alumen. The boots themselves is 1-2m.

Would probably be better doing threads according to theme, as I daresay they will eventually recycle them. Makes it easier to search too.

french hints give another way to understand the chest piece
it's "classieux" which means that "too cool" is maybe not associated with ice but much with "classy" like "waah, you got a very nice chest !"

do you understand what i try to say? xD

btw, the main theme of the report is "super classieux" in french too

My guess:
Weap: def augmented hailstorm caster weap, as it's dyeable and fits the hint.
Chest: I was thinking of Alpine chest. It's classy and fit with the cold theme too, plus it's dyeable.
Legs: Sky pirate caster legs, Idk why ppl keep mentioning diadem, I easily crafted them today.
Feet: Cashmere boots, sweet dream boots, glacial or highland boots
Bracelet: def shiva ex
Dyes: possibly ice blue, sky blue and snow white

Tsukime, the french translations of this event already proved themselves to be completely shitty. We will see this week, but I'm positive the ice and cold theme is the right one...

Alpine Coat: I feel like it's really unlikely for them to let us use the 'free' stuff, just like how they just throw Scion Adventurer's Jacket out the window last week. We'll see though.
Crafting legs:There's just a few mats to get. Plus never assume everyone crafts. The people that can't craft them needs to find a battle method, and Diadem is how the battle classes can easily get them.

There's a reason I sold 40-50 Flat Caps last weekend at 30-50k ea.. Even the crafters don't wanna craft.

True.. I'm one of them, most of the times!

Seeing how the exact same glamour and dyes on fisher and miner gave you 100 and 94 last week... we'll have to wait to find out if it's either healer or caster this week.

Hm. If this continues to be a thing that drives economy and such, prompting Diadem items could potentially get players queuing again, much like the achievement FATEs?
