[@Aitherea]

I'm annoyed that this came to me now and not during any part of the video's creation, but Eorzea Collection is a really good resource as you can actually look at almost all of the gearsets the game has to offer, whether it comes from a dungeon, raid, pvp, or other content. ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/

[@idno4856]

Yeah it's really a good resource. For those not used to it, it'll not only show you the names of items but if you click on the piece it links back to the FF14 database so you can see where to get the item. If it's craftable, and an additional click will send you to the required mats and where/how to get them plus vendor cost if applicable

[@ClairvoyantLastrus]

Also really good to just get ideas for glams, love just scrolling through and looking at what people make

[@rejiifield]

How dare you crap all over my comfy burlap sacks! Function over fashion dammit! 😢 nice vid btw 👌

[@TheValiantBob]

There is also the Garland Tools database where you can look up a piece of gear and see all the various alts that use the same model but have different detailing or colors

[@LupusArcavius]

I was today years old when I learned the brides maid and best man attires were available from an npc lol

[@Aitherea]

Right?! Feels like it would be crafted or something but it's not xD

[@LupusArcavius]

@@Aitherea that’s what I always assumed too

[@JaceRS3]

same! ive been wanting those for a hot minute

[@velbutvel]

when I was a wee low level I would grift by buying them at the NPC and then selling them for higher lmao

[@sammicoporsammicopor]

​@@Aitherea I found out quite by accident that you could buy it from an npc

[@jaredvargas5785]

It's worth checking if the item is part of a set that comes from a coffer. The main one I remember are the Firmament glams like Peacekeeper and Casual, where one of the pieces is like 90%+ of the cost so grabbing the coffer can get you a couple extra items at very close to no cost.

[@grass23]

PALACE OF THE DEAD FLOORS 1 TO 50 The bronze sack (Floors 1 to 50) has a HUGE list of cosmetics a lot of them valuable to sell. A quick summary of the sets in the BRONZE sack of potd Dinosuar leather gloves and shoes. Both versions of the Expeditioner's set Falconer's shirt/boots. High House set both versions moonfire set again both versions. Survival set. Both versions of Thavnarian set Wind set. As well as the hairstyle Samsonian Locks. Not all winners but a lot of great glam pieces and early staples in that list and available very early in msq too. Only level 17 to access it.

[@zoruasnivy]

The high house set carried me through at least 1-2 expansions, palace of the dead is great especially now that some pieces are no longer gender locked

[@allegrakaito]

One option not listed in the video (and one I don't think people are super familiar with because it's a bit convoluted) is the Black Summer gear. It uses the same model as the lunar/solar sets on the MogStation with the same caveat - you can't dye it. It's obtained via achievement certificates which accrue pretty quickly, so it's a great choice if you're looking for something quick and easy to make a proper swimwear glam out of. Plus, the top is pretty versatile and the bottoms are a good option under various types of dresses. To get the Black Summer gear, you need to speak with Jonathas in Old Gridania (near Apkallu Falls). The closest aetheryte is Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre. You'll need to have at least (4) achievement vouchers in order to get (2) Cascadier Uniform Voucher(s). When you've got two of these vouchers, you'll head to Mor Dhona and speak with Aelina near the markets. You can trade the vouchers to her for the following items: Black Summer Top, Black Summer Halter, Black Summer Trunks, or Black Summer Tanga. The top/trunks are locked to men and the halter/tanga are locked to women. Hopefully this helps someone!

[@Aitherea]

I was actually thinking about making a short about this one! It's pretty easy to get and nice to mix and match.

[@xakorik4832]

Whenever I make a new character I have 2 Uniform Vouchers in my mail.

[@allegrakaito]

@@xakorik4832 Depending on how long you've been playing, they used to be the 60-day veteran reward along-side the black chocobo chick. This changed during 4.1 when the current standing of veteran rewards went into effect and most of the goods were transferred to Jonathas. So, if you were playing prior to that, then you'll receive the old rewards. I figured they would've updated this, but that doesn't seem to be the case. 🤔

[@spiritmuse]

⁠@@allegrakaitoYeah, everyone who won veteran rewards under the old system will keep those on their account and will receive them for each new character that they make, even though the tiers and rewards have changed. Presumably they thought it would be unfair to take rewards away from people just because they decided to change the system.

[@lilsadbbg]

i like to mention, if you are on a free trial account, you can not do pvp at all. so there is no way for you to earn pvp glamour items unless they are in a moogle event. On free trial you also can not access the marketboard at all, and can not even do trades. So you really need to be self efficient in this game if you want to look cute but are stuck playing the free trial version of the game.

[@wornGuardian1]

Le sigh.....

[@GarnetDust24]

Finally a video talking about attainable early game FASHION!!! I wish I had watched this when I first started so so good! Thank you. Also very much appreciate the shout out to queen swyrgeim. She’s the goat

[@Redde37]

In regards to choosing a grand company, it's required to proceed in MSQ, but you can transfer companies after maxing out the ranks on the first one you chose.

[@YdaxraTala]

Shared this with my FC as they tend to help out sprout's like myself, above lvl 60 now going into stormblood and a rather lacking selection in glams I got rn. 😁tyvm

[@Aitherea]

it's rough out there being a low level. The higher you get though, typically the better the gear looks, whether it's tomestone gear or dungeon drops. If you're above level 60, check out the Shisui of Violet tides dungeon. You might like some of the gear in there if youre into sexy stuff xD

[@condi_tv]

You are so underrated, editing was clean, voice and audio mixed great and this was so informative thank you pretty inspiring.

[@idno4856]

Really good info as always I could be wrong but I believe you unlock the Emperor's new clothes when you unlock glam and dyes from that lady you mentioned. I remember that for years I had assumed that those were cash shop items before realising I had already unlocked them haha. For those who don't like PvP, the non-dyable versions of the items from the disreputable merchant lady are available from the Gold Saucer. Last point, before traveling to an NPC merchant, check what the MB price + tp costs are. Don't spend 1k to tp to save 300 gil. Also Aitherea showed it but didn't mention it, but you can use certain items to delete others. You can sometimes use that to your advantage.

[@markup6394]

Small addition: the Makai PvP gear, yes, you get it at the MGS, too, but you cant dye it.

[@idno4856]

@@markup6394 I had written "undyable" but good old autocorrect changed it to undurable hahaha

[@Nempo13]

Easier to spend your company seals on them. You get one level 90 item from a dungeon, hand it in, and you can get 5 prisms.

[@DigitalDilemma]

Fashion is the TRUE Endgame. Shout out to any other players that have spent $18 in the cash shop just to get some boots. 😂

No, it was $18 for a hair ribbon..................... Which might be worse than boots.

Bro I feel like they didn't add great boots to the game just to sell us good ones in the store for years.

[@trinitysays]

Another place is from retainers. They will bring back some glam which is usually sellable or for your own use.

[@dalgona4819]

I thank my retainers every day for saving me some gil bc I no longer have to buy furniture or glam XD

[@CraftyScamp]

this is super useful, thank you!

[@kinetsu8115]

Thank you so much for this video!

[@raeoverhere923]

For crafting prisms, the easiest job to get the mats for is Carpenter! You farm the wood from trees just west of Quarrymill, make it into lumber, and then all you need are Clear Prisms, Ice Crystals, and Wind Crystals. Clear Prisms can be bought from Bango Zango in Limsa, Roarich in Ul'dah, and Maisenta in Gridania. Ice Crystals can be found in trees a little further west of Quarrymill (Upper Paths), so they're easy to grab while you're getting wood, then head through the northern exit into the Central Shoud for trees that drop Wind Crystals! You can *also* then sell your extra mats or Glamour Prisms themselves on the marketboard for a little return on the gil you spent to get the Clear Prisms.

[@darzanas]

great video! i'm almost level 60 and there's a lot i didn't know, esp the emperor's new clothes are a lifesaver with all the ugly necklaces you tend to get. i've been using the miqote base skirt as a glamour for all the weird pants leveling gear tends to have, and the thighboots you can get from the adders nest are a lifesaver while leveling!

[@Aitherea]

Some of the disciple of hand stuff can be worn by all jobs, there's a skirt called patricians bottoms that I swore by before I got mog station stuff. The skirt on the thumbnail is from the tailor in gridania and is called velveteen bottoms.

[@darzanas]

[@variantxiii]

May be worth a mention that glam from grand companies is locked to actually being in that company, so if you switch at some point (or worse, want different pieces from different companies, like me), you'll be locked out of using the previous GC gear as glam until you switch back. Found this out the hard way after leveling the Adders to get one of the top level axes for my WAR and noticed it was crossed out in my glam plate after I'd switched to the Maelstrom...

[@idno4856]

Thx for the info! I didn't even know this (I maxed Mal and was too worried to switch).

[@aguidamonster]

Thank you. This is great

Thank you so much for this! I'm all about aesthetics and can't ever be caught looking terrible :(!

[@Ziploc_Wonder]

The exact point you brought up in the first 30 seconds is why I've avoided DoM Jobs because of the burlap sack robes... and sure I have some options that I guess I could Glam... but I have SO many good glams already set up for all my DoW that I'm unwilling to replace a Glam Plate for... So starting an alt is super unappealing because starting totally all over is... ugh. Awesome vid, though, this helped!

[@xpucm0ca]

This video is a basic training course on ff14 glamours. You can build off this. Watch with intent 🎉 Edit for veterans: Watch this video to start doing fashion reports in Gold Saucer, if you could never figure out how it's done. 😅

[@Zuhnado]

Thanks for this. I'm still going at the free trial for probably another good 100-150 hours but been slowly trying to figure out good, cheap alternatives for glamour. When I do get to subbing, I'll be prepared for all the glamour possibilities since really I only been looking into DoH master recipes and raid gear.

[@Everlarke]

To add to the Smith glam that you didn't mention, it's glam for all three roles - they have an outfit for tanks, melee/ranged dps, and healers/casters. Highly recommend all three if you play multiple roles; and yes - everything looks much better than most ARR and some HW gear.

[@VinlandicSoul]

Thanks for the video! I’ve only just recently got into Glamor. I’m a fresh rookie of a month now, but I played FFXI for 20 years. Which brings me to my next point: I’ve noticed a lot of cross over gear wise. I’ve been daydreaming about mimicking old gear from FFXI. If you have any tips on that front I would be grateful! All the best to you! *subscribed*

[@dera3333]

excelent video!!!!

[@ClairvoyantLastrus]

Another tip when looking up glam pieces on the market board, you right click on the listings and click "copy item name" so you don't have to type in the whole name

[@ClairvoyantLastrus]

This is very helpful! Would love a dance emote guide as well!

[@Aitherea]

For free trial players or just in general?

[@ClairvoyantLastrus]

@@Aitherea In general! I see some dances in the city states people use and I'm never sure what they are or where to get them. The way emotes are named is so confusing

Fem Roe: Roe default beginning gear with the arms left off and replaced with long fingernails, the clothing in pearl white and the nails in gold.

[@Disaresta51]

Great video! Any additional ideas for free trial players?

[@Aitherea]

hmm, most of what i could think of i already put into the video. As you level up the gear from dungeons does get better, and one of my favorites is from shisui of violet tides, but not everyone will like that since its cropped stuff xD Bonewicca stuff from Swallow's Compass aint bad either. Otherwise you can get a black swimsuit by exchanging cascadier uniform tickets (which come from jonathas in gridania, hes the achievement guy) in mor dhona.

[@mcpicklebreath]

thank you for the guide! definitely some helpful tips, glam always makes me wish i could use the marketboard but im still on free trial so ive gotta do my best elsewhere. What is the cute layered white top your character is wearing for most of this video? if it's unavailable to me on free trial don't worry about hurting my feelings, im used to it by now XD

[@Aitherea]

If it's the white one, it's the minfilia modish attire which is on the mogstation for i think like 12 USD.

[@FuraFaolox]

another place you can find the smith that isn't mentioned in the video is in front of a few dungeons. iirc it's the first three dungeons: Sastasha, Tam-Tara, and Copperbell

I did not even know that you don’t actually have to have a wedding to get the wedding clothes! I’ve always wanted the dress set so I might just ask a friend to help me and just not do the wedding 😂

[@Aitherea]

yes! this is because they give you the gear BEFORE the wedding so that you can wear it TO the wedding. This is only the case for the free clothes though. If you pay for the version that has the chocobo, you will need to go through with the ceremony because you get the chocobo AFTER.

[@Aitherea]

I probably should have worn those low level glam for the sake of the video but I was trying to set up a consistent look for my character throughout all my videos to make editing easier LOL. technically you can wear that whole outfit at low levels but it's from the mog station. The top is minfilia modish attire, bottom is from eastern lady errant, and the hair bow is the eastern school girl one (the yukata-esque thing, not the seifuku).

[@markup6394]

Fashion Report. The shop with Kasumi only unlocks if you get 100 points x times in a row - I think its 8 times. Something like "win 800 points in 8 weeks) or somesuch. She doesnt oben shop right away... unless they changed that ^^° 9:57 --- I prefer the Adders: the casting crown is unmatched and fits with every glam ^.^ And though they may not be as cute as the Flamme's loincloth, the Adder's caster bottoms are every versatile, too. Though I have to add, I like the more "rustic" glams as opposed to "flimsy", "cute" ones - unless I play dancer that is ^.^ 14:21 --- You have climb the ranks first to unlock this feature :( I think need the third or forth level (counting from bottom here) before you can exchange (dungeon) gear for seals with that NPC. Also, edit: I'm not sure (maybe its different merchants: I usually go to the one in Mor Dhona), but the emperor's gear only unlocks if you have leveled you crafters beyond a certain threashold. I had that just recently with my alt... But yeah, maybe its different merchants?

[@Aitherea]

Good clarifications! There's still some fashion to be had with the grand company even at low ranks (though its not the cutest imo), but you're right, some of the better stuff may take time. For those that are still low levels, theyll want to be farming the GC hunt log + roulettes for seals so they can work on their promotions and be able to turn in gears for seals so they can buy things, whether that be gears or prisms or crafting stuffs!

Kasumi's shop opens in stages, based on how many total points you've earned. It's 600 points to unlock everything (which takes six weeks if you're getting the max score each time, eight weeks if you're just getting 80 points a week), but several things will open up before then. She also has housing items and other interesting miscellany, so it's worth looking in after each week's fashion report.

I just really wish they would add a catalog for all the glamour where you can just access anytime as a separate slot, but they’re currently taking up inventory slots and it’s just a hassle to keep all of them without adding more retainers.

[@Aitherea]

You need to go to the inn and put them in the glamour dresser! Some of them will fit in the armoire (event fashion and mog station fashion). It costs glamour prisms to add stuff to the dresser but if you're in the inn and use the dresser you can apply the glams for free. Also within the dresser you can create glamour plates c:

[@duskshadow25]

@@Aitherea Oh, thank you for responding, Aitherea! I knew they had a glamour dress, but I was talking about that not being enough because if you're someone that collects all different kind of clothing, they add up fairly quickly. You're eventually forced to throw some out or get more retainers to make more spaces. I was talking about if they can add a separate catalog similar to World of Warcraft where players can just access it from anywhere (excluding dungeons/raids) and just equip/unequip it from that catalog, similar to how you would open your inventory and just eat a food for buffs. It's the same with fishing too, as in it would be a life changer if they just add a separate tab just for storing all your fishes and baits, instead of those taking up your inventory slots too. This is basically something that a large part of FFXIV community would hope Yoshi-P would add in Dawntrail, or at the very least in the near future 😅

[@Aitherea]

@@duskshadow25 oooh I see what you're saying. I thought maybe you were a new player who wasn't sure how to use the glam dresser. I've almost used up 800 slots as well. Not holding my breath on any changes to the system as it sounds like it's a tough fix due to the game engine being so old.

The xbox beta started recently and i appreciate this video so much for making me look good because the gear sucks so much

[@FreakgirlLt]

Very useful information, thank you

[@utoobguy3041]

Im lucky but the time i started caring about good glam I was pretty well off gil wise. Now i do cosplays, enter glam contests, and often times win more gil then I sped on glams. Over time you build up a collection and certain pieces just are so useful so often.

[@spoonyazul]

If I may, sometimes normal armor and weapon vendors have decent gear to use as glam, such as Leather Sandals and Any of the Dress gloves. There's also some that are craftable if you invest in weaving, leatherworking or goldsmithing

[@Aitherea]

Yes, I love the leather sandals! I forgot to mention NPC/vendor gears so i snuck in an unvoiced clip near the end about that xD But every now and then the NPCs do have a piece or 2 that can look cute as part of a glam.

Been playing about a month now and Im like *finally, some good fuggin' threads* after looking like I was thrown through a charity shop covered in glue for weeks.

The Blacksmith saved my alt\s aesthetics on so many occasions...

[@AeeanPlays]

i'm late to an aitherea video? grrr. but good info as usual, especially as a not new player great info as usual!

[@Aitherea]

I'm all over the place now that i dont keep any set schedule for videos 😅

You are my ff14 spirit animal

[@NekoUrabe]

I am new and just now hit lv30. I never eeever to pvp stuff in games like these since the veterans have more experience and more skills compared to me. Will it be the same here or is it like a team effort kind of pvp I’d love to unlock the cosmetics over time

[@Aitherea]

There are 2 kinds of PVP. One is a 5 v 5 mode and the other is massive with 3 teams of 24. Frontlines is the massive one and while you will sometimes get people who really want to win, most people are really chill about it. The 5v5 version has a casual mode and a ranked mode, but both give the same rewards in terms of the glams and series malmstone stuff. The 5v5 is called crystalline conflict and you actually can't type in chat, you can only use preset statements to communicate. This prevents toxic behavior. PVP is nothing to be afraid of in FFXIV. Anyone can do it and your skill level doesn't really matter c: Oh there is also something called rival wings that is only 2 teams of 24. It's the most fun version of PVP and it does count toward series malmstones, but not a lot of people do it because it isn't part of the roulette. It's hard to queue into at all unless you join the pvp revival group which goes on Saturdays in primal dc. The daily Frontline roulette rewards the most PVP exp in one go, which is what you need to level the series malmstones to get trophy Crystals for glam.
