Glamour & Other Miscellany in the World of Final Fantasy XIV
Just as I thought things were finally calming down again, I found myself with very little time to do the things I’ve meant to be doing in game: mainly, leveling Astrologian and Machinist and farming Puppets’ Bunker for the YoRHa Type-53 Coat of Striking, which still eludes me. I’ve mostly been slowly picking at a […]

One thing I’ve always wished the dev team would do after each expansion is to go back and change all the gear from the previous expansion from class/job specific to Disciple of War/Disciple of Magic gear, as appropriate. This would do so much for glamour possibilities (and personally make my life so much easier since […]

I’ve been carefully eyeing the price of the new Hraesvelgr Attire added with Patch 5.31’s update to Restoration of the Holy See, while also being mindful of the fact that I want a comfortable amount of gil stowed for the upcoming addition of new housing plots. A week or so ago, the price of the […]

I’m closing in on the final stage of completing the Shadowless Attire sets from The Heroes’ Gauntlet, having completed the full set for five of FFXIV‘s seven armor classes. That unfortunately means that, due to the finnicky nature of the great and powerful random number generator, the set galleries for this dungeon are likely to […]

We’ve just gotten the potentially last patch of the 5.2 series with 5.25, including the beginning of the new Blades of Gunnhildr quest series, but before I get into first impressions of that new content, I want to get caught up on gear set galleries if I can. And that means it’s time to take […]

I’ve been struggling to find a satisfying glamour for the last leg of my Black Mage’s journey to level 80. Like I mentioned last time, my latest fancy has been to make something work with the tights from the most recent Valentione’s Day event, but that hasn’t really gone according to plan thus far. Before […]

Often while leveling, glamours I put together fade quickly, since I’m not always the best about reapplying them when swapping in new gear for the dungeon breakpoints. That’s meant my Black Mage has been floundering for a little while now—since I knew I was looking to overhaul Alahra’s color palette, I never got around to […]

Since capping off Samurai at 80, I’ve taken a break from any dedicated leveling while I sort out which job I want to focus on next. My SO has been on a bit of a leveling kick, though, which has had me hopping from job to job to pair up with her latest fancy for […]

Much like my level 80 healer, I’ve not touched either Red Mage or Summoner much at all since getting the two of them to 80, which has meant a lack of a proper level cap glamour for my casting gear for much of the expansion so far. My caster-swap of my Voeburtite healing glamour has […]

Patch 5.1’s new dungeon brings with it the first level 80 dungeon set of Shadowbringers, since the original three instead dropped accessories to accompany the expansions new Artifact Armor sets. Gathered only from The Grand Cosmos, the new Warg sets are full of wolf motifs, fur, and leather—making for a strange contrast with the stately […]
