Glamour & Other Miscellany in the World of Final Fantasy XIV
It’s always bugged me how limited glamour options are for casters and healers in FFXIV, which is largely a consequence of class and job restrictions being baked into the glamour system. “Heavy armor” jobs like Dragoon or Paladin have a decent amount of freedom to trim down, as it were, by relying on various leather and […]

I’m at a wonderful point with Eureka now, having finished full sets of Anemos gear for Alahra’s three primary jobs for Stormblood (barring any sudden changes in priorities, anyway) but with enough interest to keep gathering upgrade crystals, meaning I can target things specifically for glamour now. After I finished up my Red Mage set, I debated […]

Healers winning out for the monthly poll ended up being perfect, as right as we turned the corner into April, I was itching for a new Scholar glamour. My last one was all right, but after using it more often in Eureka, I started to get a bit tired of it. It felt like a […]

I used the Chivalric Doublet of Healing for my Astrologian and Scholar numerous times throughout Heavensward, and it’s been featured in a few different looks on the site already.

On one of my first few runs of the new dungeons, I picked up the Farlander Hat of Healing (while […]

I mentioned in the intro to the Patreon-side version of the last spotlight that I had my idea for this month’s Patron Only special. And I did! That was true! I’ve been sitting on the Skallic Bottoms of Healing for weeks now (one of the few times I’ve actually gotten a piece I wanted from that […]

Being without a computer for a week really derailed most of my glamour plans and progress toward various in-game goals, and I went into the planning stage for my next post with no clue what I was going to post! The first thing that came to me was to rework Alahra’s Samurai glamour, but in […]

I’ve only managed to pick up two pieces of Skallic gear that I want to use so far, one being the Skallic Bottoms of Striking (which I’ve used once), and the other being the Skallic Bottoms of Healing, which I got not too long ago. I’ve been thinking about using the Healing ones recently, so […]

When I put together my most recent glamour for healers in preparation for leveling Astrologian, I didn’t go through the trouble of porting the glamour over to my level 70 healer gear (mostly because I forgot, to be honest). That did mean I had an opportunity to work on a new glamour, though, since otherwise […]
