So.. Kinda silly, but can you still get an Onion Doublet set?

I know in 1.0 it was kind of.. random. You had to rely on luck and spam certain leves a lot and hope the gear popped from a chest. What about now? Any quests or leves that still have a chance at spitting it out?

It's a worthless gear set of course, but it's a cool novelty and.. eh.. I just got to thinking about it while staring at my Onion Helmet. lol

I never got the Onion Gaskins :( I'd like for them to make a comeback so I can complete the set.

I don't know for certain on whether you can get it, but I can tell you that my Onion set will not go into the Armoire in the inn room. I am guessing that means that it is not currently obtainable. It seems to me like the kind of special item that would fit in there if you could get it in ARR.

Other things that will not fit but I think they should are the old holiday clothes, like the santa suit and egg hats. I figure again that it is because they are not obtainable in ARR, so no one thought to add them as a possible Armoire item.

Thing is, old CE items will go into it.. but new ones won't. Old swimgear goes into it, new doesn't. It's not consistent so this isn't necessarily the case. Though I do agree they need to fix this.

Ah, yes, I heard that the suits costing 15 ash didn't go into the Armoire. I didn't choose to buy those, at least not yet. =) The suits costing 3 ash did go in, which is an odd choice/oversight.

So, agreed, the inconsistency dulls my point.

It's not inconsistent. New festival gear has *never* gone into the armoire until after the festival is over. Wait until the Moonfire Faire is done. There'll be a minor patch downtime, and then you'll be able to put the 15 ash swimsuit pieces into the armoire.

I just got one today from my retainer with a quick exploration if that helps

Which class was your retainer?

Hopefully SE bring it back into the game outside of venture. Maybe in Gold Saucer? Of course without the helm, because this is a CE item.

Also got one from my retainer, think at the time she was just over ilvl100 and a mnk.

I think the LotA Onion gear is a better match for the helmet, personally. Of course, it is LNC/DRG only, so there's that.

Interesting thread necro but on Balmung I see a bunch of people wearing that hat and I'm quite jealous knowing that I can never get that item since I didn't start playing until 2.0.
Also the DRG CT1 helmet looks horrendous on female characters.

If your retainer love you, you can get the helmet in red.

It is just that the 1.x Onion Knight set is very much like the Onion Knight from FF Tactics

Have you a picture of the complete Onion Knight set from LotA?

They really should add green or purple onion knight gear in the future, to match the other two.

Well this exists as a substitute...

Woolen Doublet, Felt Gaskin, Peisteskin Crackows

Hm... if the assets still exist in the game, I see no reason why SE couldn't easily bring it back. ^^ Especially if it wasn't a speacial-exclusive-seasonal-whatnot thingy, like the helmet bit of it.

Yeah, I was hoping for a better color scheme to dye the blue when I made this set long ago, but to no avail sadly. At least the red one is still around for people to buy from the boards or get from retainers. Just wish they'd have one you could dye. Supposedly there was one in 1.0, but the only other Onion Knight looking one is the Peregrine Helm, but I don't think that can be dyed... not 100% on that though.
