Glamour Spotlight: Tanks #40

March 20, 2020.Reading time 7 minutes.

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 […]

Gear Set Gallery: Anamnesis Armor of Fending

March 9, 2020.Reading time 5 minutes.

After a productive farming session of Patch 5.2’s new dungeon (in which I was lucky enough to pick up The Ancient One), I can finally start sharing gear set galleries for Anamnesis Anyder. In a reversal of last patch’s luck (where the Warg Garb of Fending was the last set I completed), the first one […]

Glamour Spotlight: Tanks #39

February 21, 2020.Reading time 8 minutes.

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 […]

Glamour Spotlight: Tanks #38 & Studio Update

January 20, 2020.Reading time 6 minutes.

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 […]

Gear Set Gallery: Warg Garb of Fending

January 13, 2020.Reading time 5 minutes.

After the last pair of gear set galleries from The Grand Cosmos (for Aiming and Maiming) went up, I needed exactly one piece to finish off the final set and thus complete the galleries for Patch 5.1. It took almost three full weeks to finally pick that piece up (and that’s not including the fact […]

Glamour Spotlight: Tanks #37

December 23, 2019.Reading time 5 minutes.

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 […]

Glamour Spotlight: Tanks #36

December 9, 2019.Reading time 5 minutes.

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 […]

Gear Set Gallery: Nabaath Garb of Fending

September 18, 2019.Reading time 5 minutes.

It’s been an intense, set gallery spamming ride here on Fashion Ninjutsu ever since I made the decision to document all of the expansion’s new dungeon gear. While there are still around twelve sets left to post, today’s gallery of the Fending gear from Malikah’s Well means three classes of armor are now finished (for […]

Gear Set Gallery: Voeburtite Armor of Fending

September 5, 2019.Reading time 6 minutes.

One of the first sets that really got my attention in Shadowbringers, the Voeburtite Armor of Fending offers glamour options in a style we don’t often see for tanks in FFXIV: light armor. Armored coats have been the norm for tank gear for much of FFXIV‘s history at this point, with even things like breastplates […]

Gear Set Gallery: The Forgiven’s Armor of Fending

September 3, 2019.Reading time 5 minutes.

Tank armor is my nemesis in FFXIV, but I have to admit a certain fondness for the Forgiven’s armor set from Shadowbringers. The original Demon Armor from World of Darkness was one of the few pieces of heavy armor I wore back in A Realm Reborn (and I wore the Chromite version from Stormblood for […]
