Fashion Report: Far Eastern Foundation Theme
The Week 399 Fashion Report theme, "Far Eastern Foundation," gave players an 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 had a variety of options to strike a perfect score.
Scoring a Perfect 100
- 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.
- Gloves and Boots: Match your helm choice with the Neo-Ishgardian gloves and boots of striking. Staying consistent with this set produces a uniform look and the highest scores.
- 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 ideal for achieving gold ratings.
With those pieces locked in, the path to a perfect 100 was straightforward — even for players who hadn't run the Fashion Report in several weeks.
Achieving Easy 80s
Even if crafting or market board access was limited, players could 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.
These dye options were spread across difficulty tiers, so most players could hit at least 80 regardless of their current gear level.
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.
A quick-reference breakdown of each dye source for Week 399:
Dye Options Table
| Item Type | Dye Needed | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Helm | Gloom Purple | Citystate Dye Merchant |
| Gloves | Metallic Pink | Cosmic Exploration/Market Board |
| Legs | Slate Gray | Citystate Dye Merchant |
| Feet | Mud Green | Citystate Dye Merchant |
| Chest | Pearl White | Ishgard Restoration/Moon |
These strategies proved sufficient for players to hit their target score. The "Far Eastern Foundation" theme was not the most demanding week for Fashion Report veterans, but the dye combinations offered some welcome variety for those working the Gold Saucer rotation.
