FFXIV Delighted Emote Guide - Patch 7.45

Acquiring the Delighted Emote

In the latest patch 7.45 update, a charming new emote has been introduced, known as the /delighted emote. This special emote, which can be purchased from Tissant in Old Sharlayan, adds a delightful flair to your character's interactions. Here's how to get it:

1. Head over to Old Sharlayan.
2. Speak with Tissant to access the Corvos Artifact Exchange.
3. Use nine Potshards to acquire the ballroom etiquette: saving face item, which grants the emote.

   Potshards can be collected through the variant mode, featuring 13 routes. Each encounter with bosses or progression through trash packs offers a chance to collect these loot crates, facilitating your exchange for this adorable emote.

Your character will adorably clutch their face, exuding an overwhelming sense of delight. While the emote is not persistent and requires manual activation, its heartwarming effect is worth the effort. Small nuances exist between races and genders, providing a unique animation twist for each character type.
