My guess for the earrings is the Behemoth Earrings.

My first guess for the earring is the Behemoth earring.

Makes sense. Time to camp the FATE.

[TaranTatsuuchi]

I do bleieve there's been several promotional earrings, cactuar, bomb, etc...

Though, I do think finding a non limited option would be nice for those who didn't have a chance to grab those.


For the choker, those ribbon styled ones come to mind.

The "Go West" hint is kind of confusing.
There's no known wild west on Hydaelyn, so it shouldn't be anything with a Western-theme.
The New World is west of Aldenard but we only have 1 New World pants item, which is still pretty expensive on some servers...
The places in Eorzea that we know of that are in the west are Old Sharlayan (which is a separate island farther from Eorzea), New Sharlayan (in Dravania), and Vylbrand (La Noscea, Limsa Lominsa, etc).
Maybe it's referring to the Doman refuges who came to Eorzea (i.e. they went West)? With the ring-slot hint from last week apparently being a reference to Haurchefant and only having rings that can only be found in two dungeons at the only acceptable options, we just can't really know. =A=
Then someone else suggested maybe it's in reference to the story "Journey to the West", which the Eastern Traveling set is based on.

The Behemoth ones from the Fate in Western Coerthas "We fought a Dzu" are available for everyone (...who reached that part of the game)

For the choker, those ribbon styled ones come to mind.

I was also thinking about the Peach Blossom Choker - for everyone who still has that (or got it in the first place - its from a Little Ladies Day Event a few years back)

The New World is west of Aldenard but we only have 1 New World pants item, which is still pretty expensive on some servers...

They didnt care about that the last time - I should probably not mention that, to not ruin any markets, but... the rare mats you need for the New World pants can be bought for 500 yellow crafting or gathering scrips. So those pants are actually a lot more accessible than the shirts from last time.


I also figured that it might help you guys to get the hints from other languages! My client is in german and I often found that some hints for some riddles are better in english, some are better in german - and more info doesnt hurt, right? So I wanted to give the best translation of our german hints for you to work with aswell!

Head: Casual (German: Leger)
Chest: Expedition (German: Expedition... yeah, no translation needed - maybe a bit context: "Expedition" is a bit different from "Adventure", right?)
Legs: New continent (German: Neuer Kontinent - we're obviously refering to america as the new continent in german - together with the "go west"-hint in english, the New World Pants seem obvious)
Earrings: Accompanies (German: Begleitet - context: Minions are called "Begleiter" in german, so could be a hint to that)
Necklace: To cute for this world (German: Zu süß für diese Welt - same hint as the one for bridesmade-shoes last time)

General Theme: Unknown Lands (German: Unbekannte Lande)

The only thing that comes to mind on the accessory point of view are the Behemoth earrings and the Moogle necklace. Both of which are fairly easy to get if you don't already have them. As for the new world pants with the western thingy that sounds possibly like the gold maybe but a cheaper alternative (currently new world pants are at 2 mill a piece on the MB). Perhaps also the lower SB gathering stuff you can buy from the npc in the Ruby Sea, those kinda have a western feel going on. (Gyuki Leather Chaps)

Or maybe those other ones which are cowboy'esque but I can't of the life of me think what they are called but they were in HW and used by a lot of girls as like legwarmer style bottoms. ORZ

Go West is clearly a reference to the New World in Eorzea. That continent ingame is analogous to the Americas irl which were also regarded as the 'new world' at a point in history. The phrase 'Go West' is itself also a rather well known phrase from that period of American expansion (referring to east coast settlers venturing westwards across the continent).

There's quite clearly a explorer/settler type theme happening this week, which points to the new world gearset as well as tops like the poncho. There's a small selection of cowboy themed gear in the game so it shouldn't be hard to narrow down. Although I wouldn't be surprised if the scion adventurer's jacket fit the bill for the body as well, due to the very obvious hint and the fact that it's quite an accessible option for most people.

The other region regarded as the 'west' in Eorzea is dravania/idyllshire/shalayan in general, as can be seen from the HW introductory DoH quest "Go West, Craftsman". That might be a good place to look to fill out the less obvious slots.

[swiss_Momo]

if we're talking wild west then the Wrangler's chaps from Hullbreaker HM/Sohr Kai or the crafted equivalent might work too

[Ladygrilka]

i think of:

- Shadded spectacles
- Scion Adventurer's Jacket, Explorer's Tabard, Explorer's Tunic, Adventuring Sweater, or Expeditioner's Coat
- New World Hose
- Behemoth or qiqirn earring
- Peach Blossom necklace, maybe Paramour's Pendant, Platinum Paramour's Pendant or Band of Eternal Passion

[Anoranda]

So, at a wild guess....

- cap
- starter gear shirt
- New World pants
- some kind of novelty earrings I'm not aware of (was thinking chocobo, but it's not a minion)
- ribbon necklace

bahamut earrings! they drop from a fate
