Glamour & Other Miscellany in the World of Final Fantasy XIV
One of the first things I did in early Stormblood was to start using Poetics from Roulettes and Palace of the Dead to finish gearing out all of my side jobs in full i270 gear. I didn’t have a lot left to get, so it wasn’t long before my Dragoon was kitted out in the full Augmented […]

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 […]

Long time readers know I almost never post Dragoon glamours—as of writing for this post, there have only been five on the site (which you can see by checking out the Dragoon category). One of those posts has curiously been one of the most popular pages on the site—probably because there are so few hits for […]

I mentioned last time that I was a bit stuck on Dragoon glamours and that I had been considering going back to an older one (which has remained one of the most popular posts on the site, for reasons unknown to me), at least temporarily. That thought actually put the seed of an idea in my head, […]

As of yesterday, I finally got the alt I’d been occasionally writing about to level 50, and that means she’s now able to have her own glamours officially. Of course, she doesn’t have a wide range of classes to glamour for (and probably never will), but I still need to glamour what she does have. Dragoon is Lynahra’s first […]

A little while back, I wrote about how much I liked the Drachen Armor, Dragoon’s original Artifact Armor set. That post led to a brief Twitter conversation that prompted me to go trade in a bunch of Antique drops to get the Wyrm’s Armor set, too, and I was surprised to learn that I didn’t […]

My Dragoon glamour is basically nonexistent right now: I’ve been getting lucky with drops for it from the new 3.4 dungeons, and since I basically put no effort into gearing it, all of them have been fairly significant upgrades. At times like this, I often don’t keep my glamour fully attached to the new pieces […]

I’ve done almost nothing with Dragoon since I hit 60 on it, to the point that my old glamour actually deteriorated as I picked up random upgrades from newer dungeons, and over the past couple of days that was starting to bug me. It probably didn’t help that I saw a body piece I remembered […]

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 […]

After a long and arduously frustrating journey, I finally got Dragoon to level 60 over the weekend. The class has never really “clicked” with me much at end-game. I found its rigid rotation to be very limiting and irritating at level 50, and leveling it up to 60 just kept making the problem worse, so it took […]
