FFXIV Fashion Report: Week 408 - Horned and Tempered Tips

Achieving High Scores in Fashion Report Friday

Fashion Report Friday is a fantastic opportunity to earn as much MGP as possible from the Manderville Gold Saucer. For this week's challenge, the theme is "Horned and Tempered," and we're aiming for a perfect score of 100.

Key Items for a Perfect Score

To achieve the coveted 100 score, you need to focus on the right combination of items for each slot:

1. Headgear:
   • Arch Demon Horns (available for MGP from the Gold Saucer)
   • Succubus Horns (lower MGP cost)
   • Catoblepas Horns or Archaeodemon Horns (other viable options)
2. Chest:
   • Strife Vest (veteran reward)
   • Alternatives like Ruby Cotton Gilet of Striking/Scouting, Adventurer's Hooded Vest, Hooded Fireglass Leather Vest, and possibly the Tantalus Vest
3. Gloves:
   • Strife Gloves (veteran reward)
   • Alternatives include Hempen, Velveteen, Cotton, Woolen, Felt, or Wolf Dress Gloves, with Hempen Dress Gloves being easily obtainable from vendors
4. Feet:
   • Slipstream Sabatons of Maiming
   • Alternatives include Hellfire Sabatons

With those slots covered, the 100-score outfit is within reach for most players including those on the free trial.

Earning an Easy 80 Score

For those seeking a simpler approach without needing all the items mentioned above, achieving an 80 score is quite manageable. Here's a minimal-effort method to score 80:

• Combine the Strife Vest and Strife Gloves, both of which are veteran rewards and accessible to long-time players.
• Fill every equipment slot, including both accessory sides.

For newcomers or free trial players, an alternative path to gain an 80 score involves using easily accessible dyes:

1. Headgear: Dye any helm Ice Blue
2. Chest: Dye any chest piece Gloom Purple
3. Feet: Dye any feet Snow White

   With these simple modifications and Hempen Dress Gloves from vendors, even newcomers can achieve an 80 score.

With the score secured, a few extra habits can push your MGP earnings even higher.

Tips for Maximizing MGP

Whether you're an experienced player or a newcomer, maximizing MGP is crucial. Here are some tips:

• Use MGP buffs available from your free company or personal buffs.
• Keep an eye out for new rewards in future patches, as updates to the Gold Saucer may introduce exciting items.

Following these recommendations will make your Fashion Report experience both rewarding and enjoyable. Enjoy exploring your fashion options and make the most of your MGP opportunities!
