.. you can wait until next week when you wont need that ugly sweater for a perfect score....

And next week it will be another class locked item or again a utterly expensive item... this minigame need to be redesigned... like i said there's enough item in this game to not rely on past events or rng luck in Uznair....

If you don't want to buy or craft the Adventurer's Sweater, a friend did with the basic one and score 94, here's what she used:

Head - Flat Cap - Coral Pink
Body - Winter Sweater - Metallic Purple
Hands - Claws of the Beast - Metallic Purple
Legs - Any- Coral Pink
Feet - Serpentskin Fringe Boots - Metallic Gold
Left Ring - Ultima ring (any)

I dont wanna pay 4.5M for a ugly sweater just for a achievement.... there's better way to make this contest like using dungeon loot as BiS so the old content is run... i said dugeon, not alexander savage or deltastice savage stuff...

Its probably not gonna change a thing to explain this to you again since you appear here every week saying "I dont wanna level class XY" or "I dont wanna do this or that"... at this point I wish we'd just share a server so I got craft you that sweater for free with the extra Holy Linen I have and be able to tell you "Now you're done with this"

You need to get 100 points once. And this content isnt going anywhere, so you can wait for a week when you dont need an ugly sweater. A week, that favours you.
If they'd only use easy-access items this content would become stale and boring fast since thats only a very limited pool.
Each week so far has been fair enough to give you a decent shot at 80 points - all you need to get your 60k MGP from the thing without doing anything to crazy.
If you want to get the achievment, you'll have to go and earn it. You know, was in... achieving something.
Granted, I'm not sure how much of an achievement it is to just repeat the solution for the riddle you found online while complaining about said solution...

I understand that its frustrating to see each week "Damn, not for me... again" - but they simply do expect you to put in some effort.
I got my fisher Lucis Tool (...okay, I earned the miner one, but hey) because I figured "Hey, I have a good shot at 100 points here if I only do this!"
My boyfriend and I farmed Shiva so he could get the samurai-weapon and perfect outfit that week because we figured "This is easy enough right now"

Dungeon Loot as BiS? No thanks - we unsyched the Vault like 6 times for everyone to get a ring. Ignoring the fact that most dungeon loot from ARR and HW has made a comeback as crafted item of a higher level range it would be more frustrating to me to have to run DV several times just to get the one piece of headgear I need now (someone mentioned having to do Shiva over 60 times to get the katana - you prefer that?). Unique looking dungeon loot cant be dyed, also.

And look at this week! As Frizze pointed out: More or less everything is easy enough to get - with the one expection of the sweater. If you want to achieve something... you'll have to put something in - a Lucis Tool, the right class leveled, an ugly sweater... make your choice or wait it out til its your class one day.

And next week it will be another class locked item or again a utterly expensive item... this minigame need to be redesigned... like i said there's enough item in this game to not rely on past events or rng luck in Uznair....

Since you can level every class in this game on one character, there is little wrong with this being class specific at times - if you dont want this, thats okay, but thats on you at the end of the day. You wont get the tank-achievement mounts either if you dont level a tank and take it into highend content.

And they're not. only. relying. on past events or Uznair drops.
Look at the items this week again. Read Frizzes post again.
This minigame is giving you all the rewards, each week with little effort - if you want the achievment, its perfectly fine that it asks something more of you.

Any dyable weapon is fine. This week any job can get 100 points, but you need to get that rare Treasure Hunt sweater.

Agh. So they do give us a week for non job specific, but with a PITA item instead.

Well, that'll quell some whiners and add more whiners.

This week's another easy set of points for you lazies. Work towards that Spring Shirt or whatever the next point tier item is (400 or 500 cumulative)

I have an honest question here: How do you know what dyes are needed? Is it just trial and error, or am I missing a hint somewhere?

Trial and error. Sometimes the hints seem to suggest a theme, sometimes the correct answers seem completely at odds with whatever theme you can imagine. There are a lot of people working on this who share findings. Soandso uses x number of alts to get 3x attempts(or more if they only care about total points on a main character) to narrow it down, tells the next person what they found and they do their tests on the next set of options. Once they more or less cracked the code to how the scores were made up it was all possible. There are enough minds(and alts) working on it to have the items narrowed down within a couple minutes, and the exact dyes within an hour. How long the community will stay this engaged remains to be seen.

How does this outfit even score 100 points, the other outfits so far already looked kinda "why", but this just takes the cake. Jesus that's atrocious to look at.

But as usual, thanks for the effort!

I've been enjoying the collaboration so far and I hope it will last for a while.
At least for people at endgame, the cumulative unlocked glams should be something to aim for.

[Nocturnyx]

Well obviously not my week. Was so close to the title last week - I will get it; I'm determined, but sad that this week is just a horrible one. However, I'll still strive to get least above 80. I'm just weirded out about the dye combo O.o this npc really DOES have weird taste in fashion. xD

[Naberrie]

this npc really DOES have weird taste in fashion. xD

Which is ironic if you've done the WVR quest line, which has him criticizing an NPC for their horrible fashion sense.
