The Fashion Report

Re. reselling cheap items expensively on the marketboard, it boggles my mind how high things are priced - and that people actually pay it. 40-gil dyes go for thousands, and on one of my servers someone is selling the Emperor’s New gear for 10,000 a piece. (Admittedly that gear is harder to get access to than it should be, as it only unlocks through the ‘learn to craft prisms’ quest and not just the initial unlocking of glamours, but still.)

got 84 as WHM using BiS dyes, with only 3 items as gold:


Head: Angler's Hat (Norlaise, the Pillars)
Body: Striped Southern Seas Swimsuit (previous event)
Hands: Coronal Wristband (this is where I dropped some gil)
Feet: Peisteskin Crakows of Gathering (Norlaise, the Pillars--3 stars because of dye)
Ring: I used last FR's Master Conjurer's and got only 1 star

83 for me with

Anglers Hat - BiS Dye
Striped Southern Sea's Vest - BiS Dye
Any Dyable Hands - BiS Dye
Any Dyable Legs - Any Red Dye
Marid Leather Babouches - Any Blue Dye
Master Botanists Ring

All the dyes are cheap vendor dyes. Very cheap week if you have the Ring and Vest.

Greetings, Glamour Enthusiasts!

I'm popping in to offer some clarification on information about The Fashion Report.

In a recent interview, Yoshida mentioned that as of Patch 4.3, you'll be able to reach 100 points in The Fashion report by wearing the correct themed gear without having to dye it.

However, it's worth noting that if you can't acquire all of the exact pieces needed for 100 points, dyeing your gear the correct color will still boost your score, so please feel free to continue to make use of dyes as you see fit!

We hope this helps everyone reach their goals and flaunt their high fashion scores

Thank you for the update.

I'd say that should be a well appreciated change, especially for players that did not have the appropriate jobs unlocked/leveled to equip the entire theme. And probably also for the players that often found the color choices a bit garish, lol.

I wonder it it will still have a 'correct dye' or if all dyes provide the same bonus to the score now...

I am sure there will be the correct dye, you just will not need it to get 100 anymore. The idea appears to be you can have 3 / 4 correct pieces and then still get to 100 with dye bonuses.

100 points for this week:



Head: Steel Goggles
Body: Sky Pirate's Jacket of Striking
Hands: Griffin Leather Bracers of Striking
Legs: High Allagan Trousers of Striking or Picaroon's Trousers of Striking

With this 4 Items you don't need a Dye for 100 points.

95 points

I went crazy and tried out a non-class specific outfit. No dyeing to get 95.

Weapon: Midnight Blue dye (wrong dye, just happens to be there)
Head: Steel Goggles, NPC-bought, midnight blue default
Body: Archaeoskin Jacket of Crafting, NPC-bought, undyed
Gloves: Hempen Bracers, NPC-bought, Chestnut Brown Dye default
Pants: Hempen Trousers, NPC-bought, Desert Yellow Dye default

Someone should try other bracers as well, such as Cotton/Woolen/Felt Bracers to see if they give gold. Hempen is only 3-star.

Make this 100 points by dyeing each piece for 5 additional points (doesn't have to be BiS just have to be correct family)
Dyes: Main - red (+1), Head - blue (came default), Body - Snow White (BiS +2), Hands - Black (+1), Legs - Black (+1)

My experiments

If you have a bard, you can replace hands with Serpentskin Bracers of Aiming or Kirimu Bracers for easier 100 points w/o many dyes.
