I'm annoyed that this came to me now and not during any part of the video's creation, but Eorzea Collection is a really good resource as you can actually look at almost all of the gearsets the game has to offer, whether it comes from a dungeon, raid, pvp, or other content. ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/
Yeah it's really a good resource. For those not used to it, it'll not only show you the names of items but if you click on the piece it links back to the FF14 database so you can see where to get the item. If it's craftable, and an additional click will send you to the required mats and where/how to get them plus vendor cost if applicable
There is also the Garland Tools database where you can look up a piece of gear and see all the various alts that use the same model but have different detailing or colors
i like to mention, if you are on a free trial account, you can not do pvp at all. so there is no way for you to earn pvp glamour items unless they are in a moogle event. On free trial you also can not access the marketboard at all, and can not even do trades. So you really need to be self efficient in this game if you want to look cute but are stuck playing the free trial version of the game.
Yeah nothing humbles you like leveling all crafting jobs at the same time, especilly coming from other MMOs that dont usualy make their crafting so intertwined with one another...
It's worth checking if the item is part of a set that comes from a coffer. The main one I remember are the Firmament glams like Peacekeeper and Casual, where one of the pieces is like 90%+ of the cost so grabbing the coffer can get you a couple extra items at very close to no cost.
Finally a video talking about attainable early game FASHION!!! I wish I had watched this when I first started so so good! Thank you. Also very much appreciate the shout out to queen swyrgeim. She’s the goat
Thank you for this. I'm a new player, and I couldn't figure out why my character looks so terrible, but everyone has such cute clothes. I figured I was just too low a level for the nice gear.
One option not listed in the video (and one I don't think people are super familiar with because it's a bit convoluted) is the Black Summer gear. It uses the same model as the lunar/solar sets on the MogStation with the same caveat - you can't dye it. It's obtained via achievement certificates which accrue pretty quickly, so it's a great choice if you're looking for something quick and easy to make a proper swimwear glam out of. Plus, the top is pretty versatile and the bottoms are a good option under various types of dresses. To get the Black Summer gear, you need to speak with Jonathas in Old Gridania (near Apkallu Falls). The closest aetheryte is Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre. You'll need to have at least (4) achievement vouchers in order to get (2) Cascadier Uniform Voucher(s). When you've got two of these vouchers, you'll head to Mor Dhona and speak with Aelina near the markets. You can trade the vouchers to her for the following items: Black Summer Top, Black Summer Halter, Black Summer Trunks, or Black Summer Tanga. The top/trunks are locked to men and the halter/tanga are locked to women. Hopefully this helps someone!
@@xakorik4832 Depending on how long you've been playing, they used to be the 60-day veteran reward along-side the black chocobo chick. This changed during 4.1 when the current standing of veteran rewards went into effect and most of the goods were transferred to Jonathas. So, if you were playing prior to that, then you'll receive the old rewards. I figured they would've updated this, but that doesn't seem to be the case. 🤔
@@allegrakaitoYeah, everyone who won veteran rewards under the old system will keep those on their account and will receive them for each new character that they make, even though the tiers and rewards have changed. Presumably they thought it would be unfair to take rewards away from people just because they decided to change the system.
For crafting prisms, the easiest job to get the mats for is Carpenter! You farm the wood from trees just west of Quarrymill, make it into lumber, and then all you need are Clear Prisms, Ice Crystals, and Wind Crystals. Clear Prisms can be bought from Bango Zango in Limsa, Roarich in Ul'dah, and Maisenta in Gridania. Ice Crystals can be found in trees a little further west of Quarrymill (Upper Paths), so they're easy to grab while you're getting wood, then head through the northern exit into the Central Shoud for trees that drop Wind Crystals! You can *also* then sell your extra mats or Glamour Prisms themselves on the marketboard for a little return on the gil you spent to get the Clear Prisms.
Shared this with my FC as they tend to help out sprout's like myself, above lvl 60 now going into stormblood and a rather lacking selection in glams I got rn. 😁tyvm
it's rough out there being a low level. The higher you get though, typically the better the gear looks, whether it's tomestone gear or dungeon drops. If you're above level 60, check out the Shisui of Violet tides dungeon. You might like some of the gear in there if youre into sexy stuff xD
In regards to choosing a grand company, it's required to proceed in MSQ, but you can transfer companies after maxing out the ranks on the first one you chose.
Really good info as always I could be wrong but I believe you unlock the Emperor's new clothes when you unlock glam and dyes from that lady you mentioned. I remember that for years I had assumed that those were cash shop items before realising I had already unlocked them haha. For those who don't like PvP, the non-dyable versions of the items from the disreputable merchant lady are available from the Gold Saucer. Last point, before traveling to an NPC merchant, check what the MB price + tp costs are. Don't spend 1k to tp to save 300 gil. Also Aitherea showed it but didn't mention it, but you can use certain items to delete others. You can sometimes use that to your advantage.
PALACE OF THE DEAD FLOORS 1 TO 50 The bronze sack (Floors 1 to 50) has a HUGE list of cosmetics a lot of them valuable to sell. A quick summary of the sets in the BRONZE sack of potd Dinosuar leather gloves and shoes. Both versions of the Expeditioner's set Falconer's shirt/boots. High House set both versions moonfire set again both versions. Survival set. Both versions of Thavnarian set Wind set. As well as the hairstyle Samsonian Locks. Not all winners but a lot of great glam pieces and early staples in that list and available very early in msq too. Only level 17 to access it.
I just started and i am a bit overwhelmed by how many things there are and it doesnt help that i have no friends to play with xD but i am loving the game. Thanks for the tips, i wont lie im still a bit lost but with each video i learn more and my understanding is starting to grow. Amazing video!!!
Here you are guiding people & im happy making ginger cookies & fig bavarois for people Also for people who dont know, you can craft glamour prisms using alchemy, its a recipe you can buy from an npc in vesper bay after you do the glamour npcs quest, the one sitting in the middle of vesper bay
great video! i'm almost level 60 and there's a lot i didn't know, esp the emperor's new clothes are a lifesaver with all the ugly necklaces you tend to get. i've been using the miqote base skirt as a glamour for all the weird pants leveling gear tends to have, and the thighboots you can get from the adders nest are a lifesaver while leveling!
Some of the disciple of hand stuff can be worn by all jobs, there's a skirt called patricians bottoms that I swore by before I got mog station stuff. The skirt on the thumbnail is from the tailor in gridania and is called velveteen bottoms.
In Gridania there is an achievement vendor where you can get some glam items for free. The most important one being the Goblin Hat so you can look like a CUTE Goblin! :D
May be worth a mention that glam from grand companies is locked to actually being in that company, so if you switch at some point (or worse, want different pieces from different companies, like me), you'll be locked out of using the previous GC gear as glam until you switch back. Found this out the hard way after leveling the Adders to get one of the top level axes for my WAR and noticed it was crossed out in my glam plate after I'd switched to the Maelstrom...
Oof, I wish this video was around back when I was on free trial. I had to painstakingly look for informations and guides on how to look fly while also dodging spoilers.
Thanks a lot this video was definitely super useful so I can get a head start on the true endgame, fashion. Just started this game, appreciate it a lot
The exact point you brought up in the first 30 seconds is why I've avoided DoM Jobs because of the burlap sack robes... and sure I have some options that I guess I could Glam... but I have SO many good glams already set up for all my DoW that I'm unwilling to replace a Glam Plate for... So starting an alt is super unappealing because starting totally all over is... ugh. Awesome vid, though, this helped!
Started playing this two weeks ago. I had to brave the wilds and travel on foot from Gridania to Thanalan (Vesper Bay) so I could dye my clothes. So I would no longer look like a blind person who threw darts at clothes, to decide what to wear. Thanks for this video, will give me a bunch of things to do today, I normally just wear Drachen armour and an eyepatch happily (Miqo'te female) reminds me a bit of Beatrix from FF9. But when doing more chilled activities, would be nice to have a casual outfit.
amazing video i sold my default clothes the first time i sold all my lower level gear. so my character was just naked when i switched jobs because i had no clothes!!! i had no idea where to get clothes and ended up just progressing the culinary job to get some basic clothes. Now im seeing there was clothes all around me. i had tried the market board but alot of stuff was just expensive. Thank you for the guide.
you can craft the hempen camis too.. they're on the very first page of the weaver's crafting log 🤗 you can actually craft a lot of cute glam lvl 1 clothes..
Another tip when looking up glam pieces on the market board, you right click on the listings and click "copy item name" so you don't have to type in the whole name
another place you can find the smith that isn't mentioned in the video is in front of a few dungeons. iirc it's the first three dungeons: Sastasha, Tam-Tara, and Copperbell
I did not even know that you don’t actually have to have a wedding to get the wedding clothes! I’ve always wanted the dress set so I might just ask a friend to help me and just not do the wedding 😂
yes! this is because they give you the gear BEFORE the wedding so that you can wear it TO the wedding. This is only the case for the free clothes though. If you pay for the version that has the chocobo, you will need to go through with the ceremony because you get the chocobo AFTER.
If you are planning to do PvP, you can swap to a different class/job while in the waiting phase. The class/job you queued with will gain the EXP, while you can be playing as a different class/job.
They will probably share with FemRoes because male Hroth use the Roegadude set. E: and it's not just them, both Viera use the Hyur set despite concept art existing for them having their own look, it sucks :(
Most of my favourite glam pieces are from the 1-50 range! If, like me, you like the 'adventurer' look, the holdover items from 1.X are generally great. There's a lot of practical-looking and highly-detailed pieces in there! A personal favourite is the low-level Tank-exclusive gear, the set whose helmet is called a 'celata', if mempry serves. The helmet looks practical and has really cute little bumps if you're on Miqo'te, the breastplate looks sturdy and practical and dovetails perfectly into the gauntlets OR its long cloth sleeves can look good on their own, and the reinforced, padded trousers look good too. The sabatons are the weakest link IMO but are perfectly serviceable. The Disciple of War boots from Aurum Vale are another banger; they sadly cant be dyed, but they have a weathered brown/black look to them, spikes for flair, and look *incredibly* heavy. I'm a massive fan of them on DRG, RPR, WAR, and DRK. I also find it funny to use them on SAM under one of their many wide robe/skirts, as a sort of surprise for anyone expecting them to be wearing sandals. Another favourite is the chain gambesons available to Tanks and Maiming classes; they look great on Dragoon if you want a look that's lighter than plate but heavier than leather. And finally, the Shadowbringers tomestone gear is amazing. There's a Fending/Maiming chestpiece that looks like either layered gambesons or a tabard over chainmail, and Casting/Healing gets some wonderful coats too. I really hope to see more of these pseudo-practical, highly-detailed gearsets tomorrow in Dawntrail.
For male Au'ra Rogue/Ninja, I used the Au'ra racial bottoms, with falconer boots, boxing gloves, Uraeus Body Armor and the Punching gloves all the way until lvl 60 and I looked fantastic.
I'm free trial in NA this is great ♥️. Nothing worst then being ugo when everyone else perdy😔. The free wedding outfit tip is incredible :o. I actually love some of the dungeon gear from dungeons and mix them. Currently in stormblood where the eastern city is gorgeous but I don't fit in at all 😢. So jealous of Tataru's glam.
There's an eastern style glam in the gold saucer prize exchange. It is not a yukata though :c I know some dungeons in SB have some too but it's more armory
Some set which are really cute, i thick. Which are: - evenstar get - gloam set -- noct set and many more. You can get it from doing MSQ (it just give u 2 sets!), doing hunt => buy it thourgh Allied Seals and also, thourgh Drake (in North Shroud )
I hope they keep adding new cosmetics to PvP like the Model outfits and recolored class armor. It's a great incentive to get into it, even if you're just doing Frontline roulette.
If I may, sometimes normal armor and weapon vendors have decent gear to use as glam, such as Leather Sandals and Any of the Dress gloves. There's also some that are craftable if you invest in weaving, leatherworking or goldsmithing
Yes, I love the leather sandals! I forgot to mention NPC/vendor gears so i snuck in an unvoiced clip near the end about that xD But every now and then the NPCs do have a piece or 2 that can look cute as part of a glam.
To add to the Smith glam that you didn't mention, it's glam for all three roles - they have an outfit for tanks, melee/ranged dps, and healers/casters. Highly recommend all three if you play multiple roles; and yes - everything looks much better than most ARR and some HW gear.
Also; you can get an emperor's new shield, requires gold saucer however and that unique currency with it. With mog events you can get the MGP token which gives you 50k
I really don't want to do the Crystal Tower raids again, but I think Amon's outfit is good for Bard. Either way, this is of use to me as I am roleplaying that my character sends money to his family to help them out after his immediate needs are met because I have no idea how to make large sums of gil, thus cannot afford high priced good glams. In reality, I tend to spend all my gil on crafting materials because I either don't want to level up a gathering class anymore or it's a pain farming materials and not getting exp from how much farming I'll have done by the time I finish and move on.
I always get the early game Smith gear set. Decent stats for most of the early levels and yes, looks miles better that all the other dry ass gear from leveling lmao. I used to steer alot of sprouts to the Smith when I see them start running dungeons and still be looking dusty lol 😅😅
Im lucky but the time i started caring about good glam I was pretty well off gil wise. Now i do cosplays, enter glam contests, and often times win more gil then I sped on glams. Over time you build up a collection and certain pieces just are so useful so often.
This are really good tips! I knew most of them except for the wedding dress. I should ask my friends to help me out with some of my alts, thank you for the info! I never knew there are gift to get via "Pvp profile > series" 😂.. I should check what I have unlocked.
man, i remember back in like 3.0-4.0 I used to make most of my money by buying Prisms using Company Seals and sell them on the market board. Was good money for a while, then they added glamor plates and it kinda tanked the price of prisms lol.
Lol thank you. ...i was looking longingly at that one top 6:36 i reeally want since forever ago, but couldnt get because 1) i hate pvp and 2) whenever i push myself to _try_ crystaline conflict so i can obtain those darn crystal trophies, my queue just goes on indefinatly. So, thank you, for showing me i can get crystal trophies through frontline roulette too. I had no idea... ..i guess i'm off to pvp. ugh.
Thanks for this. I'm still going at the free trial for probably another good 100-150 hours but been slowly trying to figure out good, cheap alternatives for glamour. When I do get to subbing, I'll be prepared for all the glamour possibilities since really I only been looking into DoH master recipes and raid gear.
Finally some good fucking content about things that matter. My wife started a new account and she's been leveling up a fresh toon and Ive been laughing over her shoulder at her ugliness. Dude those heavy plate armor that cover your whole body and face up are GROSS LOL.
im levelling my alt in NA. i didn't have much gil nor i didnt wanna spend much on buying mogstation stuff that i already have in my main account. my fix? play CC. since i usually play this in my main, it was easy to earn those crystals and marks for easy glamour
Thanks for the video! I’ve only just recently got into Glamor. I’m a fresh rookie of a month now, but I played FFXI for 20 years. Which brings me to my next point: I’ve noticed a lot of cross over gear wise. I’ve been daydreaming about mimicking old gear from FFXI. If you have any tips on that front I would be grateful! All the best to you! *subscribed*
I just really wish they would add a catalog for all the glamour where you can just access anytime as a separate slot, but they’re currently taking up inventory slots and it’s just a hassle to keep all of them without adding more retainers.
You need to go to the inn and put them in the glamour dresser! Some of them will fit in the armoire (event fashion and mog station fashion). It costs glamour prisms to add stuff to the dresser but if you're in the inn and use the dresser you can apply the glams for free. Also within the dresser you can create glamour plates c:
@@Aitherea Oh, thank you for responding, Aitherea! I knew they had a glamour dress, but I was talking about that not being enough because if you're someone that collects all different kind of clothing, they add up fairly quickly. You're eventually forced to throw some out or get more retainers to make more spaces. I was talking about if they can add a separate catalog similar to World of Warcraft where players can just access it from anywhere (excluding dungeons/raids) and just equip/unequip it from that catalog, similar to how you would open your inventory and just eat a food for buffs. It's the same with fishing too, as in it would be a life changer if they just add a separate tab just for storing all your fishes and baits, instead of those taking up your inventory slots too. This is basically something that a large part of FFXIV community would hope Yoshi-P would add in Dawntrail, or at the very least in the near future 😅
@@duskshadow25 oooh I see what you're saying. I thought maybe you were a new player who wasn't sure how to use the glam dresser. I've almost used up 800 slots as well. Not holding my breath on any changes to the system as it sounds like it's a tough fix due to the game engine being so old.
Fashion Report. The shop with Kasumi only unlocks if you get 100 points x times in a row - I think its 8 times. Something like "win 800 points in 8 weeks) or somesuch. She doesnt oben shop right away... unless they changed that ^^° 9:57 --- I prefer the Adders: the casting crown is unmatched and fits with every glam ^.^ And though they may not be as cute as the Flamme's loincloth, the Adder's caster bottoms are every versatile, too. Though I have to add, I like the more "rustic" glams as opposed to "flimsy", "cute" ones - unless I play dancer that is ^.^ 14:21 --- You have climb the ranks first to unlock this feature :( I think need the third or forth level (counting from bottom here) before you can exchange (dungeon) gear for seals with that NPC. Also, edit: I'm not sure (maybe its different merchants: I usually go to the one in Mor Dhona), but the emperor's gear only unlocks if you have leveled you crafters beyond a certain threashold. I had that just recently with my alt... But yeah, maybe its different merchants?
Good clarifications! There's still some fashion to be had with the grand company even at low ranks (though its not the cutest imo), but you're right, some of the better stuff may take time. For those that are still low levels, theyll want to be farming the GC hunt log + roulettes for seals so they can work on their promotions and be able to turn in gears for seals so they can buy things, whether that be gears or prisms or crafting stuffs!
Kasumi's shop opens in stages, based on how many total points you've earned. It's 600 points to unlock everything (which takes six weeks if you're getting the max score each time, eight weeks if you're just getting 80 points a week), but several things will open up before then. She also has housing items and other interesting miscellany, so it's worth looking in after each week's fashion report.
Just to add, if you've just started to play and have no Gil, you can make a new character on the Dynamis data center and level to 30. Upon reaching level 30 you will instantly gain 1,000,000 Gil. You can then have a friend help you trade that over to your main character, or just use the Dynamis character as your main character.
I remember when I started Playing, I wanted 2B boots so bad i ended in the mog store buying the Demonic Glam just for the gloves and boots combined with the Faire Joi set. I used those glams all the time
@@Aitherea In general! I see some dances in the city states people use and I'm never sure what they are or where to get them. The way emotes are named is so confusing
Literally just started an alt today. Much need for me as I found it hard to get nice glams outside of raid gear or spending 100 of 1000 on the marketplace.
Thats all well and good, unfortunately as a male lalafell player I am incapable of being sexy and looking stylish. Gives me an opportunity to lean into goofy looking glams though lol
