That letdown....

Saw some cute Miqote in a Royal Vest (CT) a couple of weeks ago and I said, "gotta have that".

So I spent two weeks running CT non stop on SCH and finally get it on maybe my 30th run.

Equip it and I'm like "mehhhhhh". Definitely let down with how it looks on me. #facepalm lol

Anyone else spend tons of time farming stuff only to be let down when they actually get it?

Doesn't the Try On feature help prevent this?

It helps but seeing it equipped vs. in a tiny window is different. Also don't know how to try on unique, untradable.

Also should note that this is again a tongue in cheek thread. Not a rage quit one.

Seeing an item in the open world is better of course, but using the zoom in feature on Try On helps some too. :) You can try on ANYTHING, even if you don't have the class unlocked yet. You can Examine another character and try on all their stuff; you can try on gear from npc shops and the market board, no restrictions.

eta: Would be neat if the Try On interface had the same background/lighting as what you have in character creation, but I guess this is too much?

eta2: Oh, you can also try on items linked in chat now. I tried on a FC member's Ragnarok yesterday this way.

Not always, especially when you start running with your new outfit just to discover that you look dumb with it xD

To OP : yeah, I understand the pain. Did many crazy farms just to notice the same feeling :D
/brohug.

I am a very tall, male Elezen Bard.


I am disappointed in almost every single thing they give me to wear.


Kirimu Coat is pure <3 though!! The Demon Tabard is cool, and I'm wearing that now because the black works well with all of the dreadwyrm gear....

but I miss my Kirimu already with the Bard poetics all dyed raptor blue :D

Yep. Spent 2 weeks getting all the drops for the Varlet tank set from the new dungeons. Equipped it all and realized I look hideous and not as cool as I thought it would. Immediately exchanged it for seals

I remember running CT for the healer crown and when I finally got it after what seemed like 30 runs it turned out it looks so awful on EVERY hairstyle for miqote female. we really need some new people working on those hairstyles!

Never! We will continue to lord over the lesser races of Eorzea with an arrogant fist, spiteful retorts and negative rhetoric!!


And continue to reinforce that not all of us find dragons attractive :p

I went with a male miqo'te model first, collected a lot of glamor gear that looked good, then fantasia'd to female miqo'te a while down the road... Now all my favorite glamors look odd, especially any of them with large armor pieces sticking up which inevitably look too big on girl cats, even with scaling (oh birdsong coat, I am looking at you). And clipping issues everywhere, augh. Everyone said gear looks better on girls so I expected to look even cuter, not less. XD

Countless hours fishing emperor fish because the were 50k each for reg. To make a long story short I probably ruined the market because I sell 12 a day for 30k but now their worth 25k each and rarely sell.

EDIT:I also recently became a blacksmith and a miner for material. But certain material required lumber so I became a botanist then a carpenter. BUT!!!! I also needed clothes so I became a leather an weaver. I just became a goldsmith and alchemist for additional ingredients.... I also see some that require culinarily ingredients...

Very minor, but so few of the female Miqote hairstyles look good with the soldiery healing hat!
