New Hairstyle in Patch 7.35
The recently introduced "Simple and Clean" hairstyle in FFXIV Patch 7.35 is rapidly becoming a sought-after item due to its stylish design and versatile appeal across various character races and genders. Originating from a 2023 hairstyle design contest, it is a semi-long hairstyle offering a unique layered look, with highlights affecting both the tips of Vieira ears and the underside of the hair. The hairstyle's layered nature is more noticeable in brighter colors, providing striking contrasts.
Here's a brief rundown on how to obtain this stylish addition:
- Deep Dungeon Collection: Players can acquire the hairstyle by collecting 99 luminous oil from challenge log entries in Pilgrim's Traverse.
- Appraisal from Cursed Hordes: Occasionally, when appraising cursed hordes found using the Commanders of Fortune in the dungeon, this hairstyle might emerge as a rare drop.
- Market Board Purchase: The hairstyle is market tradable and currently sells for approximately 15 to 20 million gil.
The hairstyle's popularity is not only because of its aesthetic appeal but also due to its rarity. This layered hairstyle does come with a downside; it may clip with certain gear pieces like large collars, but its overall appeal compensates for this minor setback.

In-Game Implications
Items such as the "Simple and Clean" hairstyle highlight the ongoing debate within the community about accessibility versus content engagement. Some players welcome the ability to obtain items via the market board, allowing them to enjoy new content without engaging in specific in-game challenges. However, others believe that exclusive content should encourage participation in game activities to truly appreciate these rewards.
Ultimately, Patch 7.35 adds a variety of new items, many related to the deep dungeon. The availability of most items on the market board increases accessibility and offers diverse opportunities for players to enhance their gameplay experience.
