Fashion Report: Midwinter Sea Bathing
This week's Fashion Report theme is all about mid-winter sea bathing, with clues highlighting specific gear for a top score. The essential pieces for achieving the highest score include equipment for your chest, hands, legs, and wrist. Here, we'll delve into both achieving the perfect 100 score and a simpler method for an easy 80.
Achieving the Perfect 100
- Chest Piece: Use the Shassui Joy of Casting or any equivalent Shassui tops from the Violet Tides dungeon. Accessible for characters on a free trial up to level 70, these items ensure a gold rating.
- Gloves: Opt for any fingerless gloves, such as the fingerless leather gloves. Purchase them for a mere 126 gil from low-level city-state armor vendors at locations like the Sapphire Avenue Exchange in Ul'dah. Look under the Disciple of War tab, levels 1 to 9.
- Leg Gear: The racial starting gear, like the Mikote loin cloth, is perfect for this week's theme. If lost, this can be repurchased from vendors like the Black Rabbit Trader in New Gridania.
- Wrist Item: Choose the Dreadworm Bracelet of Aiming or any equivalent from the final coil of Bahamut raids. These items are available for free trial characters, providing an easy gold if accessible.
Simple Path to an Easy 80
For those looking for a less complex path, achieving an 80 is straightforward:
- Purchase the fingerless leather gloves for 126 gil from vendors in low-level city-states.
- Use your character's starter gear for the legs. If these items are misplaced, they are easily repurchased at your starting city-state.
Gear and Cost Summary
| Item | Acquisition Method | Cost (Gil) |
|---|---|---|
| Fingerless Leather Gloves | Vendors in City-States | 126 |
| Starter Gear (Legs) | Repurchase from City-States, if unavailable | Varies (if lost) |
With these items, you’ll score at least 80 without extensive hunting. Low-cost and efficient, this week provides an opportunity to maximize Manderville Gold Saucer Points (MGP) ahead of any upcoming events or expansions.
In summary, whether you're aiming for the top score or the easy route, this week's Fashion Report offers a great chance to boost your MGP with minimal effort. Enjoy gearing up and good luck with your fashion endeavors!
