FFXIV Fashion Report: How it works, weekly reset, and unlock guide

So you’ve unlocked Final Fantasy XIV‘s Gold Saucer and suddenly find yourself wondering where you’re supposed to begin compiling your piles of MGP. One thing you definitely shouldn’t overlook is the weekly Fashion Report.

What is the Fashion Report?

In a nutshell, the Fashion Report is an opportunity for you to win prizes every week simply by dressing up in the most hideous glamors that you’re likely to ever see. You get set a theme, given clues and are left to figure out what you’re supposed to wear to score points and win prizes.

1-79 points	10,000 MGP
80-100 points	50,000 MGP (on top of the 10,000 MGP participation award)
100 points	“Fashion Leader” title

There are also three “You Look Marvellous” achievements up for grabs; one each for getting 80, 90 or 100 points. 

How to unlock Fashion Report

Unlocking the Fashion Report involves only one step. While in the Gold Saucer, find Lewena (X4.8 Y6.1) and pick up the quest called “Passion for Fashion”. She’ll quickly send you to another NPC, Masked Rose (X7.2 Y7.4). Talk to him and the quest will be complete. 

Congratulations, you now have access to the best MGP-making method in the game! I told you it was easy.

Weekly Fashion Report reset

Talking to Masked Rose on a Tuesday will provide you with a set of clues to follow in order to figure out what you should wear for that week’s Fashion Report. Thankfully, judging doesn’t begin until Friday and runs until the new theme is released the following Tuesday. Here’s the exact time for the reset every week:

	PST	EST	GMT
Theme revealed	Tuesday, 12 am	Tuesday, 3 am	Tuesday, 8 am
Judging begins	Friday, 1 am	Friday, 4 am	Friday, 9 am

How to score 100 points every week

Thankfully, for those of us who are less able to decipher the very vague clues given by Masked Rose, there are some wonderful members of the FFXIV community who provide foolproof guides for scoring a guaranteed 100 points every week. 

The best and most reliable, in my opinion, is Kaiyoko over on Twitter. 

Goodies you can buy

There is another NPC, Kasumi, who stands next to Masked Rose. She has a boutique that sells a variety of items from dyes to glamor pieces, and best of all, you don’t need any MGP to purchase these items as Kasumi only accepts Gil.
