Glamour & Other Miscellany in the World of Final Fantasy XIV
After I put together my Neo-Ishgardian Dragoon glamour, I got really enamored with the new Gunmetal Black Dye and started getting glamour envy whenever I got on Dark Knight (which is pretty often, since it’s my main). Tanks naturally had the honor of getting my my first Neo-Ishgardian look, and while I have been pretty […]

Patch 5.2 is finally here! It’s felt like such a long wait, even though the overall patch cadence has been the same for years now. At every turn, Shadowbringers has left me wanting more in a way that I don’t think any of FFXIV‘s previous expansions have managed (and I’m already looking forward to Patch […]

Although I knocked out what work I had to do in Pagos and Pyros to finish my Eureka weapon for Dark Knight, I slowed down considerably once I hit Hydatos. At that point, the fatigue I’d felt from my original Eureka grind for Ninja came back in full, reinforced by the comparatively low number of […]

Because I’ve been enjoying 2B’s boots so much, I decided to let my first Rebel Coat glamour for Dark Knight sit for awhile, even when I knew I was going to be iterating on it in preparation for the Main Scenario of Patch 5.2. I’ve been bouncing and forth between that first look and a […]

Alongside my very lazy picking at other jobs to level, I’ve made a lot of progress toward getting my alt Lynahra through the Shadowbringers Main Scenario. While getting through the previous expansion packs with her felt like a chore more than anything else, I’ve been pretty keen on finishing Shadowbringers, both to experience the story […]

After I finished my last tank glamour, I thought I’d be mostly done fiddling with a look for Dark Knight until we hit the next major patch toward the end of February. While I definitely wasn’t planning to take that look into 5.2’s Main Scenario (which by all accounts looks like it’s finally going to […]

After putting together my last glamour for Bard and Machinist and swiftly growing quite fond of it, I suppose I couldn’t help but be a little curious about the Anemos Jacket again. Like I mentioned before, I’ve never much liked how this stripped down version of the jacket dyes, with a particular dislike for the […]

One of the first things I did at the start of Shadowbringers was take Lynahra’s Gunbreaker to 70, since I wasn’t particularly interested in either new class for Alahra, but my SO wanted to level Dancer for her main. After we got through to 70, we focused on the Main Scenario for quite some time, […]

As will come as no surprise, switching over to a tank main for Shadowbringers has given me all sorts of trouble with glamours. Alahra has only rarely looked right in heavier armor to me, and my struggles with creating armored tank glamours are well documented across the site. Most of the time, that means my […]

My distaste for FFXIV‘s heavy armor is well-documented by this point, but it’s been rearing its head more readily ever since I took up Dark Knight as my de facto main in Shadowbringers. Outside of the new Voeburtite Jacket, the expansion hasn’t added much in the way of new armor that fits my preferred tank […]
