The Gold Saucer: Home to Games, Activities, and Fashion Challenges in FFXIV
The Gold Saucer offers a vibrant variety of games and activities in FFXIV, including its very own fashion catwalk known as the Fashion Report. This premier weekly glamour challenge rewards players 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 guide.
How the Fashion Report Works in FFXIV
The Fashion Report is available early 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. Head to the Entrance Square and look for a Hyur NPC named Lewena. 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 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.
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. Once you accrue at least 600 cumulative points from the Fashion Report weekly challenges, 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.
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.
