Crafting the Of Legend Set
The Of Legend set in FFXIV presents a new tier of crafted glamour made from materials obtained in treasure map dungeons or via the market board. Comprising five pieces, this set offers an intriguing mix of aesthetics, although crafting it as a high-quality set is recommended to fully appreciate its design. Each piece is presented with its unique appeal, from the detailed chest piece to the rather understated sandals.
Glamour Highlights
- Helm: Herald of Legend
- The helm features a striking design but suffers from clipping issues, particularly noticeable with certain hairstyles. An option to mitigate this problem is using shorter hairstyles like the close shave, although personal preference may vary.
- Chest Piece
- The chest piece is arguably the focal point of the set, with intricate details including leaf motifs and a combination of brass and rose gold elements. The ingenious split design of the loincloth adds flexibility in pairing with other armor, although the persistent blue sections pose challenges in matching dyes.
- Dye Challenges
- A significant limitation is the inability to change the prominent dark metallic blue, found on the top and loincloth. This can restrict dye options and requires creativity in assembling complementary outfits.
Styling Considerations
To maximize the set's potential, consider the following:
- Mixing and Matching: Pairing the chest piece with bottoms like the Sharewiz skirt or similar items can create a visually appealing outfit.
- Embrace the Blue: A dark or azure blue can work harmoniously with other blue pieces in your collection, although it's a feature that might not suit everyone's taste.
Set Pieces and Styling Options
| Piece | Description |
|---|---|
| Helm | Striking design, prone to clipping depending on hairstyle |
| Chest Piece | Beautiful motifs, brass and rose gold accents, split loincloth, dye challenges, especially with blue |
| Sandals | Functional but unspectacular; they can blend with a variety of outfits |
While the Of Legend set introduces some innovative design elements, the persistent blue can limit its versatility. For those who can incorporate the hue into their broader schemes, the set offers rich possibilities. Nonetheless, it's worth weighing these aspects before committing to crafting or purchasing the full set.
