Vanity Clothes

While I am glad SE added a dress in for weavers to make, it is extremely disheartening that getting one is next to impossible because it is a 3 star recipe that requires more control and craftsmanship than a weaver who is a fresh 50 has, and one of the materials is gotten from a raid group map.

I'd like to see some more NPC dresses and vanity clothes be added to the crafting logs, preferably simple recipes for early levels. Like maybe a hempen dress or something similar to these npc dresses:

Something casual that isn't as fancy as the spring dress. I'd love to also see some non-class restricted clothing items like moccasins that can be worn by any class.

Not all npc's in limsa who wear it are prostitutes. There's a Roe lady in the markets who wears it, she's just shopping. There's one npc who wanders around the bismarch that wears it as well. The dress is more of a casual dress. Just happens that yes, a lot of the ones wearing it are flirty. But this is a pirate city after all.

The Spring Dresses are insanely expensive right now, the cheapest I saw on Brynhildr server was 1 Million Gil. An FC could buy a house by selling one or two of these. As of right now, I have seen a total of two on our server and I do not expect to see many of these any time soon unless they lower the material costs. There a wonderful idea to add flavor to the game but I have better odds of successfully doing Turn 5 naked than I will getting one of these dresses.

I'm with you on this. I still have no idea why SE feels that a level 1 dress for vanity should require as much work as the spring dress does.

Be prepared for this to get worse, and to receive many rude, condescending and vile comments from others in this thread.

In this game: Casual content is only for the hard core!

What is the name of this dress? I haven't seen or heard of it and I want it.

Would it be better if SE make the dress level 50 so your class need to be level 50 before you can use the dress as vanity?
gear level don't need to reflect the recipe level.

As others have said, it requires extensive skill in crafting to make, plus the ingredients are very rare - personally I thought SE was going to make these as event items because the concept art hinted at that. But alas...

It should also be noted its are for female characters only - there is currently no male equivalent, although the sailor costume would possibly be an equivalent, that can be worn by characters of both genders.

It's just an excuse to make people get his ilvl 70 tool/gear etc and "waste time" with the 3-star recipes. Like you said, is stupid to have this kind of requirement for VANITY gear.

I just want to wear a skirt, sir, not a full gryphoskin set pentamelded...

All NPCs in Limsa are prostitutes. Especially the prostitutes.

Besides being a time/gil sink, it likely was intended to rejuvenate high level crafting, as well. Before 2.2, high end crafting just wasn't very valuable anymore. Now it will be again, at least for a time.

If you know how to mix and match the spring skirt you'll love it.
The spring skirt offers the bottom part that can be seamlessly meshed together with other chest gear to create that casual look.
Combinations i tried were
-spring skirt ( dalamud red ) with hyur chamisette or something
( the level 1 starter female hyur top)
-spring skirt ( black ) with colosseum or cascade bikini top
With battlemage hat
-spring skirt ( black or shadow blue ) with doctore doublet top (black, shadow blue or grey )
-spring skirt (black or any colour )
With highland hamock top ( matching with skirt colour )
Just mix and match it and put the right hat / shoes and u'll look lovely.
I personally like using the cloche for some sets and the spring hat for others, somethimes i might use a felt beret or the coronal hat cuz i like flowers ! ^^

it's kinda sad to see what was suppose to be fluff content, a huge ass round about and then some.
the spring dress is 280k for me here in levithan that i checked a few hrs ago. not as bad hyperia's server
but i mean...it's a dress. not the end all be all of gear or anyting...pretty upsetting o-o

You only need 3 people to complete the peisteskins, tank, healer, and a dps. They aren't that tough. A lot of crafters on my server have been advertising they can craft them (for a fee of course), though i just had a friend make it for me. As for the rarity of the mats, I've seen 6 in 3-4 days, off only maybe 12 maps.

They are easy lol
The maps with only mobs spawning can be solo'd
The maps with a boss require 2 ppl
The maps with a boss with reinforcements require 1 of each role
( 3 ppl )
But the map with the chimera boss is the hard one. Chances are very grim if u stumble upon him unprepared
( no tanks, low dps ppl , no healers )
Impossible to complete if you don't have a sufficient party.
But yea there's a reason y it has a unique look compared to the other clothing ^^
We pay to obtain things commoners cannot :)
But smart ppl will pay their own price rather than just buy it for like a mill on the mb.
