Waterproof Cotton

My eyes are rolling out of my head. It'd be one thing if the comparable weaver item didn't drop off a treasure map, but getting down on someone because they didn't have enough of a network of crafter friends to cross-specialize in desynth is just silly.

This is why I fail to understand why people immediately throw these items on the MB. It is such an achievement to attain these items yourself why would you put it up to sell?! At least wait until you have it for yourself before selling it right?

For a lvl 1 bikini...

do you expect ilvl 110 vanity gear out of fish?

The point is "why do you need an insane amount of melds/requirements for a single piece of gear whose use is for pure glamour?" It has almost the same requirements than one of the new ilvl 90 jewelry items... and that has an use for endgame... this lvl 1 bikini is just for "fashion"

Yeah it's just got to be tempting to hope some guy sitting on 20 million gil will buy it. I'm sort of happy it will be rare but a little bothered that I need to level fishing and CUL desynth to have it. I'll live. If I manage to get it first on my server you know I'll be AFK in Mor Dhona for hours just wearing taht speedo.

It's a de synth item

vanity gear has always been level one, I don't see the point in changing that considering it doesn't grant any stats at all
vanity gear is just that, VANITY

Not always - see Lightning return gear ...

will there ever be a time that SE makes a set difficult to get and people don't go WAAAAAAA!!! ??? do you have any clue how shity this game would be if everything was that easy?

People says "WAAAAA" when the gear has some purpose like endgame content. This time we're talking about VANITY

I also can't understand the whining about this. It's not a mandatory item. Nothing bad happens to you if you can't get it, and it doesn't affect how you play the game. If it had stats, or content was unavailable to you if you didn't have it, that'd be another story. This is just something interesting to work for that isn't easy to get but doesn't give you anything. It's like many achievements.

I'm glad someone found it before I started leveling WVR to desynth LotA drops. That would have been expensive x_x. Thanks for sharing it here!

The unfortunate part for me is that I was leveling FSH (a third of the way to my Foragers rod!) and my wife was leveling CUL desynth. I was going to fish up fish for her to desynth. If this is the only Big Fish that desynths into the cotton, well, that's not going to work because it's untradable...


Also, someone is selling this for 5m on Faerie. But prices for stuff like this is rarely very high on Faerie, so it'll probably drop to 2-3m before it sells.
