FFXIV Fashion Report Friday: Week 400 - Feathered Fighter

Fashion Report Strategies for Week 400

For the 400th edition of Fashion Report, the theme is "Feathered Fighter," with essential clues guiding your outfit selection. Whether you're aiming for a perfect score or an easy 80, the key is to utilize easily accessible items and dyes effectively.

Achieving a Perfect 100

1. Headgear: Opt for items with wings or pointed features. Choices include:
   • Hood of a White Griffin (Fending or Maiming)
   • Black Griffin (Caster variant)
   • High Steel Helm or Halan Helm, both available for Fending and Maiming roles.
   • Vanu Vanu or Zandu Headgear from the Vanu Vanu Beast Tribe.
2. Chest Piece:
   • Healing Route: Bloodhempen Chestwrap of Healing, purchasable in the Ishgardian Pillars for 33,000 gil.
   • Alternative War Route: Ghost Bark Chestwrap of Maiming obtained from the Siren Song Sea dungeon.
3. Gloves: Supplement your look with Type B gloves from the Copied Factory alliance raid. Alternative gloves such as the Type 51, 53, and 55 from the NieR raid series could suffice.
4. Legwear:
   • Go for the easily accessible Hempen Breaches, available from vendors such as Gualta for just 40 gil.
   • Other choices include Tantalus Breaches from veteran rewards or Spring Bottoms, though these are harder to obtain.

An Accessible Easy 80

By strategically combining dyes and ensuring all slots are filled, you can achieve an easy 80 score. Here’s the breakdown:

• Any Helm: Dye it with Soot Black.
• Any Chestpiece: Use Rose Pink dye.
• Any Gloves: Again, dye them Soot Black.
• Any Boots: Apply Gloom Purple dye.

Ensure each slot is equipped to guarantee the score calculation is correct. Using Hempen Breaches simplifies this process and is ideal for free trial players.

Combination Strategy

For an easy 80, another approach is to mix any two items from the 100 score list. For example, pairing Hempen Breaches with the Type B gloves and adding dyes as needed will also suffice.

• Dyes: Use vendor-purchased dyes for cost efficiency.
• Items: Focus on easy-to-obtain gear that fits the theme and can be dyed appropriately.
