FFXIV Fashion Report: Week 412 Ironworks Investigator Guide

Week 412: Ironworks Cultural Investigator Fashion Report

The theme for this week's Fashion Report is "Ironworks Cultural Investigator," offering both a 100 score and an easier 80 score path as the Fashion Report landscape adapts to patch 7.4 changes. With less restrictive glamour prerequisites, attaining high scores is more accessible than ever.

Achieving a 100 Score

1. Chest Piece: Equip any augmented or original Ironworks armor. The Augmented Ironworks Cuirass of Maiming and similar variants qualify. These items can be purchased from Morona at Revenant's Toll. Simply head to the top of the hill to find Oriana and choose a chest piece under Disciple of War or Magic for 510 poetics.
2. Hands: Options include the Bunny Loops, Gambler's Gloves, or Bunny Chief Loops. The Gambler's Gloves and Bunny Chief Loops cost 30,000 MGP, while the Bunny Loops are 25,000 MGP, making them a budget-friendly choice. All can be obtained from the prize claim vendor in the Gold Saucer.
3. Legs: The Holy Rainbow Sarouel of Fending is a reliable option. This item is available from Norlays, the armorer in Ishgard. Visit the market area in the Jeweled Groier, select Disciple of War, and navigate to the level 52 tab to pick up the sarouel for 11,880 gil.
4. Feet: Choose the Omicron Shoes of Maiming. Obtain these by running Alphascape V1 unsynced for pedals, which can then be exchanged for footwear via the Omega Parts Exchange at Gyr Abania's Rhalgr’s Reach. With two pedals, secure any shoes that align with your role.

Tips for a Simple 80 Score

For an effortless 80 score, combine the following:

• Dyes: Apply Soot Black dye to any chest and hand items. Use Rose Pink dye for any boots. Obtainable from vendors like Kasumi or Nanabay, these dyes are straightforward to acquire.
• Legwear: The Holy Rainbow Sarouel remains a cost-effective choice, totaling 11,880 gil from Norlays in Ishgard. Dye it Soot Black to complete this look.

These routes prioritize ease and accessibility. With the new fashion dynamics, creativity and diversity in fashion are now within reach, making participation in the Fashion Report more enjoyable.
