Maximizing Your Fashion Report MGP
The Fashion Report mini-game in the Manderville Gold Saucer offers a recurring opportunity to earn Manderville Gold Points (MGP) each week. For week 418, themed "Jester in Near East," players can aim for either a perfect score of 100 or a simpler score of 80 using accessible vendor items and dyes.
Achieving a Perfect Score of 100
To secure a perfect score, assemble the right combination of gear pieces across these slots:
- Body Slot — Hempen Acton: This level 8 Disciple of War piece is available from city-state armor vendors like Guala at Ul'dah's Sapphire Avenue Exchange. It costs just 273 gil, making it accessible to both regular and free-trial players.
- Leg Slot — Noir Slacks: Part of the Noir attire, obtained by exchanging 12 Seldon pot shards at a vendor in Old Sharlayan. This item fits the theme perfectly but may not be accessible to free-trial players due to its source.
- Foot Slot — Thinarian Sandals: Obtainable through crafting at level 60; the alternative Thinarian Babou Shoes also qualify. Both require crafting effort but are relatively accessible.
- Wrist Slot — Gordian Wristband: Acquire this by exchanging Tarnished Gordian Bolts from Alexander instances at the Idyllshire vendor. Any version of the Gordian Wristband scores gold.
Scoring an Easy 80
For a simpler approach, focus on vendor-purchased gear and dyes:
- Hempen Acton with Dye: Using the affordable Hempen Acton dyed Bark Brown, plus a vendor dye for hands like Ice Blue, guarantees an 80 score and is accessible to free-trial players.
- Simple Dye Strategy: Combine the Hempen Acton with a Goobbue Gray dye on any helm. This method requires fewer dyes, easing the process further.
- Mix and Match: Pair any two items from the 100-score list. For example, the Hempen Acton paired with the Gordian Wristband yields an 85 score.
| Item | Source | Cost/Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Hempen Acton | Low-level vendor | 273 gil |
| Noir Slacks | Seldon Subterranean (12 pot shards) | Limited to dungeon access |
| Thinarian Sandals/Babou Shoes | Level 60 Leatherworker craft | Crafting skills required |
| Gordian Wristband | Alexander raid (Tarnished Gordian Bolt) | Alexander access required |
Whether aiming for the perfect score or a quick 80, week 418 presents numerous strategies for players of any level. With these insights, maximizing your Fashion Report MGP haul has never been more accessible or rewarding.
