FFXIV Fashion Report Week 399: Far Eastern Foundation Guide

Fashion Report: Far Eastern Foundation Theme

This week's Fashion Report theme, "Far Eastern Foundation," offers players an exciting opportunity to master the art of attaining maximum MGP in the Gold Saucer. With clues like "Foundations Forefront" for helm, hands, and feet, and "Hingan Knights" for the chest, participants have a variety of options to strike a perfect score.

Scoring a Perfect 100

1. Helm: Choose a Neo-Ishgardian hat of striking or any craftable Neo-Ishgardian hat. This set offers both regular and augmented versions, providing flexibility for various levels.
2. Gloves and Boots: Match your helm choice with the Neo-Ishgardian gloves and boots of striking. Staying consistent with this set ensures a uniform look and the highest scores.
3. Chest Piece: The Ladies Yukarta, once available through a legacy Moonfire Faire event, is a strong option. Modern alternatives include the varieties of yukartas, hayori, or the samurai-specific gear like the Mayioshin Hyori. These choices are perfect for achieving gold ratings.

Achieving Easy 80s

Even if crafting or market board access is limited, players can still aim for an easier 80 by following this simple strategy:

• Dyes:
• Slate Gray: Apply to any dyable weapon or legs.
• Gloom Purple: Dye any helm.
• Pearl White (more exclusive, obtained through Ishgard Restoration or the moon): Use on any chest piece.
• Metallic Pink: Available through cosmic exploration or the market board for gloves.
• Mud Green and Rose Pink: Vendor-purchased dyes, useful for gloves and feet.

Sample Combinations

• Example A: Apply Gloom Purple to any helm and combine it with a Ladies Yukarta. Use Rose Pink on any gloves and Mud Green on the feet. All these dyes can be accessed from low-level citystate dye merchants.

• Example B: Use a Neo-Ishgardian hat dyed Gloom Purple, match it with any gray dye on legs. Options like Slate Gray, which can be purchased from citystate merchants, make this an accessible choice.

Dye Options Table

Relying on these strategies, players can efficiently navigate this week's theme. While not the most challenging week in terms of obtaining high scores, it provides a fun challenge in utilizing available dyes and gear combinations.
