The Gold Saucer has a vibrant variety of games and activities for players to enjoy while they’re not out conquering epic battles and saving the denizens of Eorzea, including its very own fashion catwalk of sorts. Known as the Fashion Report, you can take on the game’s premier weekly glamour challenge that rewards you handsomely for meeting certain fashion requirements. If you’re wondering how it works, or what to expect each week, here is our very own FFXIV weekly Fashion Report.
How the Fashion Report Works in FFXIV
The Fashion Report is available very early on in the game, as soon as your character reaches Level 15 on any class and you unlock the Gold Saucer in the city of Ul’dah. While there, look for a Hyur NPC named Lewena sitting at a table on the right side of Entrance Square (X:4.8, Y:6.1), accompanied by her Lala steward. She’ll give you the quest “Passion for Fashion”, and upon completing it you’ll then be able to participate in the weekly Fashion Report challenge.
The Fashion Report is judged by a Roegadyn NPC named Masked Rose, whom you can find in the Wonder Square area (X:7.2, Y:7.3) of the Gold Saucer. You can visit him starting every Tuesday to find out the weekly challenge, which will require certain pieces of themed garments to be worn, and some of those dyed certain colors. You’ll have from then until Friday to decide what to wear, and from Friday until the end of the following Monday you can present yourself for judging.
When you do, depending on the accuracy of the gear items you chose and the colors you dyed them, you’ll receive a point score up to 100. If you fail the challenge but still participate, you’ll still receive a minimum of 10,000 MGP. If you manage to get a score of at least 80 or higher, you’ll receive a bonus 50,000 MGP for a total of 60,000 MGP. This makes the Fashion Report a very lucrative method of saving up a hefty sum of Gold Saucer currency for any prizes you may desire.
Also, once you accrue at least 600 cumulative points from the Fashion Report weekly challenges, the Au’ra NPC standing next to Masked Rose named Kasumi will open her boutique for you to shop from. Her stock includes various dyes, furnishings, the Spring glamour set (shirt, bottoms, shoes), an orchestrion roll, and an emote.
One final note, is that when putting together your outfit for the challenge, ALL slots (except for Off-Hand) must be filled with a gear item to qualify, even those without declared themes.
