The latest expansion for Final Fantasy XIV Online (FFXIV) has been live for a few days now, and along with a new area to explore, it also brings some new features. One of the notable changes is the introduction of the Facewear category, which separates fashion accessories from battle equipment. In this article, we will delve into the details of this new feature.
What Is a Facewear?
In previous updates of FFXIV, players had a category in the Fashion Accessories section dedicated to Spectacles. With the release of Dawntrail, this category has been revamped and now falls under the umbrella of “Facewear.” If you had Spectacles prior to this update, the next section will guide you through the process of converting them to Facewear.
How to Convert Spectacles to Facewear
The process of converting your existing Spectacles to Facewear is simpler than you might think. Follow these easy steps to obtain their equivalent in the new system:
- Visit a Calamity Salvager
- Choose Spectacle Exchange from the menu
- Select the Spectacles you wish to convert to Facewear
- And that’s it!
Calamity Salvagers can be found in the following locations:
- Limsa Lominsa: Upper Decks (X: 11.4, Y: 14.4)
- Old Gridania (X: 10.0, Y: 8.4)
- Ul’dah: The Steps of Thal (X: 12.6, Y: 13.1)
Converting your Spectacles to Facewear is a breeze!
