Hidden Gorge and Worqor Chirteh Framer's Kits
As Series 10 in Final Fantasy XIV unfolds, two highlights among the PvP malmstone rewards are the Hidden Gorge Framer's Kit and the Worqor Chirteh Framer's Kit. These kits unlock at Series malmstone levels 10 and 20 respectively, adding a new dimension to character portraits through their distinctive themes.
Portrait Elements
The Hidden Gorge Framer's Kit draws on the coastal atmosphere of the Bayside Battleground Crystalline Conflict map in Tuliyollal. The frame features wooden borders with palm trees and exotic flowers, and a top banner that evokes a tropical atmosphere well suited for head-to-head combat portraits.
In contrast, the Worqor Chirteh Framer's Kit captures the northern wilderness of the Worqor Chirteh Frontlines map added in Patch 7.4. Its aurora accent casts an ethereal glow across character portraits, backed by snowy landscapes and snowman motifs referencing the map's snowstorm environmental effects.
Series 10 Rewards Overview
The two framer's kits are the most visible Series 10 rewards, but not the only ones worth pursuing. Reaching malmstone level 25 earns the Wanyudo Horn, which summons the Wanyudo mount β a striking flaming-wheel demon that stands out in any gathering area. Separately, players who secure 100 victories at the Worqor Chirteh Frontlines map complete the Worqor and Peace V achievement and receive the Turali Snowman mount, earned through dedication to that specific Frontlines map rather than the malmstone track.
Key Tips for Worqor Chirteh
Framing the portrait is the fun part; earning the rewards takes consistent Frontlines play. A few principles that carry across all Frontlines maps, including Worqor Chirteh:
- Build Battle High: This Frontlines-wide mechanic stacks through offensive play and amplifies your abilities β maintaining pressure pays off more than sitting back.
- Prioritise Objectives: Score contributions from objectives outweigh solo kill totals in deciding the match outcome.
- Control Choke Points: Worqor Chirteh's terrain rewards teams that hold key corridors and deny movement rather than rushing exposed ground.
With those fundamentals in hand, comparing the two framer's kits side-by-side makes it easier to decide which fits the portrait you're building.
