Every week, Final Fantasy XIV gives you a chance to show off just how fashionable you can be in-game for a hefty sum of MGP. Here’s our FFXIV Fashion Report guide for week 342, running from August 13 to 19.

FFXIV Fashion Report Guide for Week 342
This week’s FFXIV Fashion Report theme is Soiree Fighter, and the individual slot themes are as follows:
- Head: Masquerade
- Chest: Bloodsands
- Legs: Too Legit
- Bracelet: The Coil that Binds
We don’t have a definitive set for this week’s Fashion Report just yet, but we’ll update this section as soon as we start testing out a few things.
| Gear Slot | Equipment |
|---|---|
| Head | TBD |
| Chest | TBD |
| Legs | TBD |
| Bracelet | Bracelet drops from The Binding Coil of Bahamut. |
For the Masquerade theme, this one seems pretty obvious. Any sort of mask-type headgear should fit this well. Basically, think about masks you’d typically see at a masquerade ball, and you should be able to get this sorted out quickly. Similarly, The Coil that Binds also seems like a dead giveaway. Consider using the bracelet drops from The Binding Coil of Bahamut raids from A Realm Reborn, and that should do it.
Once we have confirmation on the 100 points setup, we’ll update this section as well.
How to Start Fashion Report in FFXIV
Just in case you haven’t unlocked it yet, you can access the weekly Fashion Report quest by speaking with Lewena at the Gold Saucer. You’ll find her at coordinates X:4.8, Y:6.1. Speak with her to start the quest Passion for Fashion, and you’re good to go.
Do note that you need to have completed the side quest It Could Happen to You in order to unlock the Gold Saucer. This quest can be unlocked by speaking with the Well-heeled Youth on Emerald Avenue at Ul’dah. You’ll be able to access these quests after reaching level 15 and completing any of the Envoy quests from your starting city.
When Is the Fashion Report Reset Time?
The Fashion Report resets every week, at the same time as the weekly reset. You’ll be able to check out the new theme every Tuesday, at 3 a.m. Eastern Time, or 12 a.m. Pacific Time.
How Judging and Scoring Works
Points are given based on how well you match the given theme for that week, as well as making sure to equip something in all 11 equipment slots. Here’s how points are allocated:
| Requirement | Points |
|---|---|
| Equipping all 11 slots | 68 points |
| Matching the theme on a gear slot | 8 points |
| Using the correct dye color | 2 points |
| Using a dye that’s in the same color category | 1 point |
Each week, four randomly chosen gear slots will have a theme attached to them. If you’re able to match the theme for all four slots, then that’s 32 points in the bag, allowing you to easily hit 100. Keep in mind that if any of your gear has been Glamoured, judging will be based on the Glamoured appearance.
While you can attempt the Fashion Report up to four times each week, rewards can only be redeemed once. Finally, do keep in mind that gear presented for the Fashion Report will be bound to you, and cannot be sold or traded to other players.
All Fashion Report Rewards
Now that we’ve got all the technical stuff out of the way, here are the full rewards for Fashion Report:
| Requirement | Prize |
|---|---|
| Participation | 10,000 MGP |
| 80 points or more | Additional 50,000 MGP Achievement “You Look Marvelous I” |
| 90 points | Achievement “You Look Marvelous II” |
| 100 points | Achievement “You Look Marvelous III” and Fashion Leader title |
| Cumulative total of 600 points | Kasumi’s Boutique |
