It's not available from the event. All bets are on it being a HoH drop.

If it's anything like PoTD it'll be down to 10k within two weeks on the market board, unless they make it a restricted drop.

i think it's great ^^

since gear is completely useless in this game due to the fact that it is outdatet in no time and the easy to obtain tomestone gear wich is literally gifted to you outclasses everything else except savage gear... we need these glamour stufff locked behind content grind. otherwise what should we even do in that new content?

A hairstyle should never be locked behind a dungeon.

It wouldn't be the first one to be. Palace of the dead has a hairstyle that can only be found there.

Well it’s a change to your avatars body. This should be accessible for everyone . What happens when they start locking a hairstyle (or tattoo, or eye style) behind a savage fight? It shouldn’t be locked by any battle content whatsoever. If that makes sense.... I dunno, I don’t like the idea of avatar changes being locked behind battle accomplishments

Gear glamour is different - it’s battle related and armour. But a hairstyle? Doesn’t really compute for me. Like I said earlier, how are people going to react when something like a hairstyle or tattoo is locked behind something only accessible to extreme or savage players? Doesn’t seem like a good idea imo

I wouldn't mind them locking some glamour hairs, if we got them on top of the usual stuff. When we got the PoTD hair we still got two hairs in that patch, and they always say that PVP gear is handled by the PVP team, so why did we not get hair added to the aesthetician as well? It was very disappointing. Where did the dev time for our usual stuff go, because it really doesn't feel like we got all that much this patch to warrant them not giving us our usual hair.

You make good points.

However, my irked comment was largely due to the fact that in the patch notes they said "hairstyles," plural, would be added in the new patch. It has the 2.X icon next to the note indicating that they would be available for players who only have ARR. I know they don't have the ponytail style pictured there, but it still seems like there should be more hairstyles. We only really got one added for everyone, so they should have said that they added one hairstyle. Singular.
I think I'd be less annoyed had they kept it at that. At least we'd know what we were getting. They got people's hopes up.

As far as what to do in the new content... run it with friends for the fun of it? That's why I play anyway. If it's not fun, why play?

I'm at least hoping it's not a random drop... really hoping to redeem it in a similar way to the other hairstyle at this point.

Even though that made me slightly salty too. /rant & Sorry, I'm not trying to direct my saltiness at you, just the issue.

I think that means it's compatible with 2.0, not necessarily available in it.

The hairstyle from PotD is tradeable and can be sold on the marketboard. If the hypothetically-from-HoH one is the same, someone with only ARR could purchase it and use it, even if they can't access the content where it was originally sourced.

Which hairstyle are you talking about? The one from patch 4.3 can be bought with PVP seals, if that's the one you meant *thinking*

You can buy it with wolf marks in PVP if I'm correct.

You aren't, I'm afraid.
Though, personally I've always been a fan of short hair, and pvp to boot, so the arrangement worked out fine for me.

Your aching souls will have to hold on a little while longer!

That’s the other new hairstyle, the short one that they showed in the preview and patch notes.

Not sure why you'd think this would happen. The only thing they lock behind savage is a mount and whatever armor skins come with savage gear. The content they do make you do to get hairstyles is...trivial at best. MGP one you can just play some dumb minigames or gamble. PvP one you can smash your face against a wall while spamming one spell in a frontline and have it in a day. The one from potd you can buy for dirt cheap or just run the place since it's so ungodly easy with just a hint of RNG

I'm talking about the ones unlocked via battle. MGP, whatevs.....it makes it fun. I actually bought my current one from MB and I didn't realize that it's from POTD and when i found this out, it just got me thinking. Some people don't do POTD and people aren't going to do HoH. But, seasonal events or something through GS is fine. I don't know how to say it, but it's just odd that they lock something like this behind battle content .....doesn't really make sense. I mean, come on....venturing though a dungeon and get a chest piece? great! weapon? great! materia? great ! Hairstyle.......who dropped their wig........sorry, doesn't compute for me

Except your post literally proves that the hairstyle won't be locked behind battle content, considering you didn't have to do any battle content to obtain the PotD hairstyle. All you had to do was walk up to the marketboard and buy it at a (likely) cheap price. Don't worry, there'll be enough players running HoH for years to come, since it'll likely be the best way to level alt dps jobs from 60 to 70, just like people still run PotD to get alts from 1-50+.

Also, sorta nitpicking, but ''dropped their wig''? I'm guessing you've never looked at the item that you use to unlock a hairstyle. It looks more like a map of sorts, containing the design of said hairstyle.

That Braided Hairstyle will likely be from the new Heaven on High. Seeing as it's a PotD equivalent, we can just probably see this hairstyle as the Queen equivalent hairstyle from PotD.

I understand the concern but SE haven't shown any signs of doing that. Literally only POTD and The Gold Saucer have hairstyles that you unlock. And you can buy the POTD one on the mb. Even very casual players can easily access those.

If anything be more concerned about the hairstyles accessible only from the Mog Station. It's a bit crap that you must buy an entire outfit to get them.

But the purpose of the Deep dungeons is to be accessible to anyone. All you need to do potd floor 1-100 is to have aetherpool gear lv 30 and done the lv 15 main quest storyline. It's fairy more easy then to get the new hairstyle from pvp. Maybe that deep dungeon will be like potd and not be restricted only to lv 70 players.

They've already confirmed it starts at 61. It basically is Stormblood POTD.

the second hair from latest major patch is locked behind pvp think it's like 18k seals for that one plus suppose you could count gold saucer hairs locked until you get the mgp to buy them the one in place of the dead is duty content but yeah you can buy it off the market board so...
