Fashion Report: Masked Dragon Theme
Week 416 of the Fashion Report features the “Masked Dragon” theme with specific clues: “Dragon's Head” for the helm and “Coiled” for the body, hands, and legs. This week presents an opportunity to score a perfect 100 in the Manderville Gold Saucer by following specific gear choices.
Scoring the Perfect 100
To achieve the coveted 100 score, focus on the Dragoon-specific gear. Here’s how to do it:
- Dragon Armet: For the helm, use the level 45 Dragoon piece from your job quest. If misplaced, reclaim it from a Calamity Salvager NPC for about 1,000 gil.
- Dreadworm Gear: Select from either replica or original Dreadworm chest pieces, gloves, and legs obtained from the final coil of Bahamut. Utilize the glamour system to apply these items.
Fill every gear slot — the theme is restrictive and any gap will drop your score.
With those pieces in place, an 80-point score is within reach even if the full Dreadworm set is unavailable.
Easy 80 Score Alternatives
For those who might not achieve the full 100, securing an 80 is more accessible:
- Helm Option: Use the Dragon Armet if available. If not, combine the following dyes with Dreadworm gloves:
- Mud Green on any dyable helm
- Soot Black on any dyable chest and legs
- Gloom Purple on any dyable feet
Dreadworm gloves, either replica or original, can also work here. These drop in the final coil of Bahamut or can be crafted or bought from the market board.
Completing the Coil of Bahamut
It’s beneficial for players to complete the entire Coil of Bahamut raids. Here’s why:
- Gear Access: Obtain original Dreadworm gear for the Fashion Report.
- Storyline Experience: Uncover hidden storylines within the game.
- Flexibility: With access to the free trial up to level 70, players can tackle these at higher levels for easier completion.
This setup will help you maximize your Manderville Gold Saucer scores while exploring the rich content FFXIV offers, particularly in preparation for upcoming patches. Enjoy the challenge, and make the most of this week’s Fashion Report.
