Did anybody test out Trailblazer's Vest? Its simple and looks somewhat like the Ramie Vest thing, but is not that expensive.
Or did someone try any of the Kudzu longkilts? normal Long Skirt is on the market for freaking 2m, i cant afford that as well as the mats so i guess they are worth a try, sadly i threw mine away a few months ago.

I wanna try this to score 80 (last attemped, messed around a lot without much succues):
Head: Royal Seneschal's Chapeau (Snow White)
Chest: Trailblazer's Vest (Snow White)
Legs: Kudzu Longkilt of Maiming (jet black)
Feet: Meandering Mog Slippers
Ring: Halonic Friar's Ring

just need to buy mats for the longkilt and farm the ring

Is there a non-event alternative for the hat? I was unsubbed during the Little Ladies event, thus can't obtain the hat.
Tried Wind Silk Wedge Cap because, well, it has "silk" in its name. Only got 2 stars. Everything else is gold BTW, except the skirt which is 4 stars.
Final score was 78 and I only have one remaining chance to be judged.

Augmented Shire Philosopher's Hat, and then you can use the Asuran Hakama of Casting to get gold for the skirt too, but you need RDM, BLM or SMN at 60 for those.

Which is rather unfortunate...

As, players can access the gold saucer at level 15.
And can't this also be accessed at the same level?

That would mean that it's possible for players to access the content with no way to get an item necessary, assuming there's no alternative.

Unless there's another solution that nobody has found yet, this appears to be the case, and it seems like a terrible design choice to have a Lv15 quest call for an untradeable Lv50+ item related to a character they won't even meet until further into the story.

i don't understand this; i got all slots gold and he still gave me a... 48? what i was wearing: royal seneschal's hat, flaconer shirt dyed white, asuran hakama of casting dyed black, artisan's sandals, and a halonic ring.

...must not like men. :v

Did you wear stuff in the other slots? those count as well, wear on every slots ANYTHING is worth massiv points.
Also dye everything, if you get the right color (snow white/jet black/gold) you get points too.

Okay, surprisingly the Kudzu Longkilt of Maiming is quite good! 3* but the Tailblazer's Vest could be better

Ring: Halonic Friar's Ring

That set got me 76 points, the number on the screenshot was the test before. SO close XD

I'd also be curious to know how the Nameless Hakama (SAM's pants from unlock quest) or similar might do, although might not be considered or pretty low since you can't actually acquire those at all again after the quest.

Out of curiosity, since the survival shirt did decent, I tried the extreme survival shirt (35 craft) and got a 1 star on it (dyed snow white), Scion shoes also got 1 star.

I have level 17 characters on a couple of worlds that are using basic starting quest gear. Both scored 52, getting 1 star ratings on the key item slots. That's much better than I was getting at first (38) with just key item slots equipped even though I had 3 gold coin items. Definitely all slots have an impact on your score so have something equipped in the non-key item slots even if they don't match the theme.

I'm also not really that worried about how this first week characters needed to have items from HW or later to get a high score for the bonus MGP. Just participating earns 10k MGP regardless of score, which is going to be pretty generous to new players just starting to get into the game since it will add up quickly if they just keep participating. With luck, future weeks will have less demanding themes so lower level characters without lots of gil or crafting resources will have their chance to shine.
