I cannot believe that Square Enix would swoop this low. One of the requirements is the level 70 Dragoon leg piece. That is BS and uncalled for.
Not everybody is going to have a level 70 dragoon available. Especially those who just stick to one job and do not do anything with other jobs.
My wife is the only one in my family who has access to a level 70 dragoon—and she CANNOT even do it because she was NEVER given the level 70 dragoon gear when she did the level 70 quest. Nor can she get them from Calamity Salvager. I had the same issue with Summoner for multiple character.
Normally 80 points DOES NOT require a specific job to get the 80 points. Occasionally a DoW or a DoM is required but this is a first for a DRG required AT level 70.
This is NOT 100 points which often requires a specific job, this is 80 points!
This is a new low for Square Enix :(

From what I see the dragoon legs aren't required at all, looks like all antiquated leg pieces work.
Tafetta shawl could work too
As does gamblers gloves for 30k mgp -

Um....
You are talking about Fashion Report Week 175, right?
There is no requirement for one specific job this week, at all.
Any DoW/DoM job will work.
If you go helm/leg method, that needs at least done the L70 job quest and has a helm loot from a ST (level 50) raid.
If you go with the chest/hands method, you can do that with crafted chest (in either blanket DoW/DoM types) and either MGP bought gloves or possible crafted.
Use Meoni for your Fashion Report set advise.

Further, you can also mix the 4 "gold" items in combos of 2 or 3, or even go with one gold and cheap dye the rest to hit 80. -

Also lol... its already a joke yes, as its an undertuned mess with 0 effort. Back then you needed stuff like dyeable crafter relics to get the points xD
Edit: (ah i didnt relize the OP...) -

Any antiquated works, as already mentioned above. See "The Storm of Blood" section which is the trousers, they only use one specific item in the two examples to save space which your guide URL then copied without expanding on). -

Am I out of luck for the characters that I bought a level 70 jump to? Those do not have the option to buy antiquated gear despite the level jump + story skip automatically completed all job quests through and including 70.

06-06-2021, 01:16 AMViduNo, you're not. You dont have to follow her recommendations for "easy 80 points" if that recommendation is not easy for you. You can simply ignore the legs alltogether and use one of the recommended body pieces instead. For most people the legs will be easier to obtain, since they can be bought from the Calamity Salavger for some gil, while the chestpieces might require a little more effort or spendings on the marketboard.Quote:

The graphic on her twitter does not list any other 80 point options. It has a bunch of gear sets but does not list what they are for. And pretty much EVERY one lists at least one Antiquated. so your info does not help me at all :( -
06-06-2021, 01:42 AMKirika-Because most all of your posts are overreactions and confrontational, even when you are given valid advise.Quote:

The way the Fashion Report system work is each slot on your character has a base point value if there is an item in a slot (both the left and right side slots). Any slot missing an item is a deduction of points (as in you do not get points for the empty slot), hence why you must have an item in every slot in order to constantly score high.Quote:

Values of items are theory crafted here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...coring_theory/
and here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...buFv5PlmU/edit
(actual point values have changed sense 4.3, with the net result making it easier to get points)
The way to "win" in the Fashion Report is to get a combined total of points to hit or exceed your goal, as in 80 points to get the max MGP or 100 to get the Achievement + max MGP.
As such, the rating of the item slots with "themes" are generally the highest points per slot when you achieve a Gold Rating for the slot and other combos of gear and dyes are lower points.
So, all you have to do is once you find out what items are Gold and what items are not, plus find out what Dyes are good and which ones are not, is to go through your gear and jobs, then mix/match something that will give you the score you want. -
06-06-2021, 02:43 AMViduBecause, quite honestly, I kinda always hope that you are... Most of your questions can be answered by applying a tiny bit of research (beyond a twitter post) and using common sense.Quote:

Just looking at the fashion report in game and thinking a minute about it, would have told you that there has to be more than one option and more to this fashion report than using those legs.Quote:

I know I'm pretty much a grumpy old lady in this regard (specially since it had the potential to be a pain in the butt at times...), but blindly following some twitter post for this is certainly not the way to go.Quote:

Its often quicker to google than to post and wait for an answer), (3) person has substandard cognitive or verbal abilities (the later especially when they cant play the game in their native language or a language they speak very well) or (4) its a troll.
For the fashion report, the game gives you enough hints on whats expected of you - Kirika kindly summed up the findings of the community. The basic priciples are something you can easly figure out yourself, though. -
06-06-2021, 03:22 AMDrWho2010Because you are unable to grasp some of the basic concepts of how the game works and then you make overblown reactions. Then when people point this out to you, you don't eat your humble pie like you should.Quote:

Example: Instead of posting
You could have posted something like:Quote:

Just want to chime in that I used Antiquated Orator's Bottoms which I purchased from the Calamity Salvager and got gold for them.
So any antiquated legs will work.
