Glamour Spotlight: Alchemist #1

I’ve mentioned a few times over the last several months that I’ve been working on a more permanent glamour for all of my crafting classes, since they’ve long since been fully kitted with i190 Ironworks gear. I had a red and black look I was using for awhile, but what I really wanted to do […]

Heavensward Retrospective: Glamour

As Final Fantasy XIV’s first major expansion, Heavensward had a lot to live up to, and carried a pretty heavy burden, as far as solidifying the game’s foundation for the future goes, and now that it’s nearly over, I’ve been thinking a lot about what the expansion did well and what it didn’t. Sporadically over the […]

Glamour Spotlight: Crafters #3

Over the weekend I intended to get my PvP glamour for Ninja updated, but I’m having real trouble figuring out where to go with it. I put together two separate looks yesterday, but both were sufficiently similar to looks I’ve posted before that I didn’t want to commit to posting them just yet (and like it […]

Glamour Tweaks and Miscellany

It’s funny to me, but in a way, maintaining this blog has started to affect my glamour habits. In some ways I’ve become more picky, and in others, I think I’ve gotten a bit more lax than I used to be. When it comes to Ninja, I’m pickier than ever, because updating my Ninja glamour here […]

The main materials […]

Patch 3.3 Trailer & Gear Previews

So for those of you who haven’t seen it (which, I have to admit, is probably none of you), the Patch 3.3 trailer went live today: Square usually does a good job of getting me excited for the new patches, and this one’s no exception. I really can’t wait to take on Nidhogg and hopefully […]

Glamour Spotlight: Crafters #1

Slowly but surely, I’ve been working on getting all of my other crafting classes up to 6o since the beginning of Patch 3.2, mostly to make it easier to handle melding, since it’s a much bigger part of the game now. I hadn’t intended to figure out a glamour for them until I had everything […]

Glamour Spotlight: DoH Specializations

Though I wasn’t originally going to showcase my main crafting classes, I’m happy enough with them that I think they’re worth putting up. As I’ve mentioned before, I usually avoid using more than two pieces of a given set in one look, as doing any more than that sort of takes away from the whole “puzzle-solving” […]
