New Items in Patch 7.35: Framer's Kits Overview
In Patch 7.35 of Final Fantasy XIV, two new framer's kits have been added to Pilgrim's Traverse, the deep dungeon set in Illmeg. Whether you've already cleared the expedition or are preparing to dive in, understanding these kits can enhance your in-game customization options.
Unlocking and Collecting Kits
To unlock Pilgrim's Traverse, players should head to the Crystarium, look for the quest next to the Aetheryte, and complete it. Completing the dungeon from floor 71 to 100 will reward players with "Aloomed Invocations," which can be exchanged for various items, including the framer's kits.
- Distant Sanctum's Framer’s Kit: Requires two Aloomed Invocations.
- Pilgrim's Traverse Framer’s Kit: Can be exchanged for 10 Illoomed Ether Glass.
The Illoomed Ether Glass is primarily obtained from level 51+ queues, making the Pilgrim's Traverse kit easier to collect than its counterpart.
Comparing the Framer's Kits
1. Pilgrim's Traverse Framer's Kit
- Accent: Features floral elements.
- Background: Depicts a stained glass design from Pilgrim's Traverse.
- Impression: The background's dark fade and lack of vibrant color may not appeal to everyone, though the floral accents offer some flexibility for mixing with other portraits.
2. Distant Sanctum's Framer's Kit
- Accent: Known for its dark crystal structure, providing a cool void-like appearance.
- Background: Ties into one of the dungeon's boss arenas with captivating design elements.
- Impression: Preferred for its crystalline and striking aesthetics, considered a worthy investment of Aloomed Invocations due to its unique accent and visual appeal.
Key Item Acquisition
| Item | Cost | Acquisition Method |
|---|---|---|
| Distant Sanctum’s Kit | 2 Aloomed Invocations | Complete floor 71-100 and defeat bosses |
| Pilgrim's Traverse Kit | 10 Illoomed Ether Glass | Level 51+ queues (bronze coffers) |
Players seeking to expand their collection or customize their adventurer plates will find these kits a worthwhile addition, albeit with some visual limitations. While both kits introduce new elements, the Distant Sanctum stands out more for its unique design, making it a more favored choice among players.
