Heres another tip for you folks - Always, and I mean Always match the armor accents. Dont be mixing silver trimmed arm guards with a bronze trimmed chest piece. Its an eyesore.
It really is a shame all armor only has one dye slot. How I wish they'd expand on every armor piece in the game, and give them up to 4 slots (whatever is reasonable for the piece, some legit only need the one slot.)
I feel like the most overlooked aspect of glamour is weapons - so often they're just thrown on as an afterthought. I consciously try to built an outfit to complement or match my cool looking weapons.
/check For anyone who wishes to sneakily examine someone else's glamour in-game. The is short for "mouse over" - hover your cursor over the player and type out the command in chat.
You wont fool me. This helpful tutorial was all just an elaborate ploy to get even more people to compliment your glams. That being said the advice is really solid and that mechinist outfit looks super good. Im totally gonna start using that gun when i get it.
the last one is so real, i used to use mogstation gear for all my jobs since it was low effort and i could have it right away, i bought like every eastern set on the store. i've now replaced all of it with pieces from in game content with some occasional leg and hand stuff from the sets i bought, i enjoy my glams way more since i put in work for them instead of just opening up my wallet.
it's so satisfying having something you felt like you really put together! nothing wrong with premade sets if you like them, but i totally agree that having to sweat a little for the glam makes it just "feel" nicer :D
That tip about taking your race into account is really really important. I have a great tank glam for my fem highlander that I tried to port over to an elezen and it just looked *weird* with all the proportions changed.
I've fantasia'd a good bit in this game, so it's a hard-learned lesson for me... many of my favorite glams have more or less been ruined by swapping races! On the other hand, some races just REALLY shine in certain things, so it all balances out (I like to think).
I play a Femroe and while leveling initially as BLM I was so disappointed by how some robes, especially dress-style ones hung on my character compared to the silhouette they'd cut on my brother's female Mi'qote. But when I went MCH at 50 one of the things I was really struck by was how *amazing* long coats look on her. *That* silhouette is perfect.
@@TiaKatt as a fellow fem roe, i totally agree. I find my roe having more suit-like outfits and heavy armor looks fits super well wit her. i know for a fact id do different stuff with a lalafel haha
I have a white mage set that is based around the Neo-Ishgardian chest, a fairly generic piece, and I made it into a dress. I've gotten a lot of whispers about it even though it's a very popular chestpiece and dresses are pretty common in FF14, but because it's a mash-up of different things to make the theme, it looks unique and stands out.
My friend led me to this and I have to say it is one of the most helpful things I have read. Thank you for this. i am looking forward to the next video
Last time I ran Aglaia, I got four pieces of glam. Four! Healing gloves and boots, aiming top, and a bonus casting top that nobody else rolled on. While I am not a big fan of gold and said Panthean gear features gold trim, (except the scouting set), it does dye amazingly well, and has a nice metallic sheen by default. I was always a bit salty that healers and casters didn't have many options for stylish armored looks, so the Abyssos/Purgatory, Panthean, and Radiant sets have been my favorites so far.
You were blessed that day! And yes, hard agree-I'm a little sick of robes and dresses, even as good as some of them are. Seeing more unique takes on healer glams has been awesome this xpac!
While im no drip master, ive decided to focus on cosplays, and ppl seem to really enjoy them. I try and go the extra mile, i made a vergil and dante from devil may cry, but i made devil trigger versions for each and macros to do cool transforms with showy actions.
Beautiful, amazing, outstanding, other positive adjectives. I like a lot, my glams going to be MUCH better now. I need to look up how to be like the gold pig that means business
I've honestly enjoyed messing around with glams as a lala, steering away from helmets because big head and heavy armours because tiny body has seen me use circlets, glasses, bandanas, masks and some of the more stylish, if impractical body pieces when I would normally go for what fits the role I'm playing most. Granted I haven't moved on to Heavensward yet so Longstop, ARR hard dungeons and Ironworkds are what I've got to work with at the moment, I still find it pretty enjoyable.
I actually completely agree! Lala has pieces it can rock that no one else can, and I'd argue BIG HATS are one of them. No other race looks nearly as good in a massive witch hat, and I think that's largely because of the head scaling. Great point! :D
Dyeing clothes to match an in-progress glam build opened up a new world for me. It gives you so many more options with what you already have in your dresser.
I understand completely… now how about someone dyed head to toe in Dragoon Blue? Is looking like you’ve fallen into a bucket of oversaturated paint fashionable? :D
En contrar! I'm a pretty old old-fashioned fashion gal and no player uses the cheap dress from the golden saucer that you see on so many NPCs, so I end up standing out when I throw on some cute accessories and walk through town. I've actually gotten lots of complements! It's a testament to how good the design is in this game that sometimes even the most generic and cheapest glams can feel so good to wear if you know what you're doing.
for me, my personal favorite glams to make are cosplays. its just fun to see how close i can get to the outfit the character its based on is. the two ive gotten the most comments on have been my WAR's May (GGST) and my MCH's TF2 Engineer outfits. albeit i made the engineer one as a joke. lot of people see it at first and think its cute, then i tell them "ENGINEER GAMING" and they ALWAYS backtrack by saying "OH. NOW I SEE".
All I've made for years is obscure cosplay glams and I'm still waiting for my /tells from someone who might recognise them... But at least I can enjoy myself and nobody else ever has the same outfit. Real gaming.
So far in my Final Fantasy journey the hardest job to glam is Paladin if your going for a full-armor, traditional vibe. If your going that direction it's only going to look good if you go hard into all aspects of it. Do the limb pieces have plating that fits the general fitting of the breastplate? Does the shield and/sword match the theming and more often enough the colors of your body gear? I'm not as familiar with helms so I'm not sure if they can have goofy sizes compared to pieces outside their sets, but head accessories can either compliment what's going on below or be a complete hindrance. Although I haven't messed with the headslot too much, just kept some wing pieces on that compliments long hair... which I have to go spend 2k every time I want to switch between it and my short hair style because either one compliments different jobs; I hope for hair glamour slots every expansion.
I can totally see this. Getting a good, cohesive plate set can be really hard, especially if you're earlier in the game and don't have a lot of options. I'm not sure what level you're at, but Shadowbringers had a couple amazing plate pieces that slotted well together even across tiers (Edenmorn, I think--maybe Edengate?--and Cryptlurker). But even those are... a little anime in just HOW decorative they are, so to your point, that can make it difficult to achieve a "traditional" armor theme. And yes, great point about hats! Hair glamour would be super interesting.
I rarely make glams, but when i do, i work hard to make something. I once made the mistake of looking at eorzea collection just to see unoriginal 2b tights for every single god damn thing, so i didn't use the website in the end.
Yes LOL, not every glam was made equal in the eyes of the Twelve… I like EC as a place to brainstorm ideas for specific pieces rather than copy full sets, but your experience was very valid and very common… sometimes, ordering by “Loves” helps and can show some highlights for any given piece, but no guarantee that doesn’t lead you to more 2B leggings…
Use the filter options in EC, always. XD If you don't like what you're seeing, make it more specific in terms of race/gender, etc until you have a good balance on number of results and (at a glance) quality.
What a fantastic video, i myself is a glam freak since if i see something that i want i will grind till i have it, or have the money to buy it, but i also got obsessed with jet black colouring since the Nier raid sets look so damn good with it, so my wallet wont like it much, oh and the obsession of looking good has also slowed down my MSQ progress since every expansion offer you something cool to grind so my friend is not too pleased with me since he's been waiting in endwalker for about 3 months but i just finished shadowbringers (5.0) and damn the eden raid sets look cool....so surely a small grind wont hurt!
Thank you so much!! :D Don't worry, I understand the pain all too well-I have thrown away MANY hours in this game and other MMOs just grinding out cosmetics... Huge grats on finishing Shadowbringers, and yes, all those Eden sets are awesome! Don't feel pressured at all to race through Endwalker. Remind your friend that the popular saying is totally true: fashion is the real endgame. :D
That point about a set looking different on different races goes double for different genders. Seeing something that looks good on a dude and trying it on my femroe only seems to work out about half the time, usually because the pants have mysteriously turned into a skirt.
I like to make different glams specific to the class with varying themes. My MCH glam is a cowboy with the survival hat and uraeus coat and it lookd quite cool, I'm surprised I don't see many other cowboys around but I suppose it's more unique in that regard
If you play with gshade enabled, don't design your glams with it turned on. EC has a lot of posted glamours that don't hold up well without the filters. Colors don't match even when using the same dye, textures stand out more, etc, etc. Great ideas with poor execution, imo.
Very good point! Always so sad seeing a great set on EC and then finding only disappointment when you try it on in-game... Gshade makes for pretty screenshots and I love using a gameplay filter to take out that beige filter on the vanilla game, but it's the enemy of good universal glams for sure.
Most importantly, be creative with your weapon glams! Unless your ultimate weapons match your glamour, toss them in the trash. After a few months, no one cares if you've beaten an Ultimate. Also, put your egos aside and don't shy away from telling people they have nice glams when you see one you like. It's nice to make someone's day.
I'm admittedly super basic, I love the 2b boots and legs aesthetic so I always use that as a base for most of my melee and tank sets, then look for chest pieces that compliment it in a way that makes it feel strong, the lv87/wolves marks tank chest, the demon chest, and even abyssos chest though less so, all look great with a unifying colour and black undertones on legs and arms.
Nothing wrong with having pieces you like! I actually respect your workaround; you've got a couple things you like and then build off them in different ways. Totally valid, and from what I can picture knowing those pieces, I bet it looks nice!
@@specstreTV it's actually scary how good the demon chest setup works on paladin, coupled with ruby weapon shield and sword and ruby red dye, it comes out as this really nice blood knight look.
I hate the 2b boots with a passion, if you sit on the ground while wearing them it breaks your leg in at least 3 places. On the other hand the actual Yorha sets from the raid are amazing.
The 2b boots and legs aren't even THAT common, people just severely overexaggerate and per usual have a tendency to hyperfocus on anything '' sexualized ''. There's pieces that are significantly more overused like the Heavensward weapons or I'd even say the Elemental Eureka armor and Artifact gear. Or the Eastern mogstation Samurai items with the circular hat etc.
I farmed the All-Seeing eye in Dzemael Darkhold for two whole hours just to get a pair of glasses with red lenses cause I wanted to do a mini Godbert Cosplay. It was worth it
for me, the most unique glam i have is making my bunny girl cosplay ryougi shiki from kara no kyoukai whenever i play ninja would probably look better as an au ra or miqote but i like being a bunny girl
I must have tanked Castrum Abania 10 or 15 times in a row just to get the gorgeous paladin sword and shield from that dungeon. Worth it. Then I ran leveling roulette as DPS... I get Castrum Abania. Paladin set drops from boss, I roll greed and I get it again. WHAT IS THIS, THE UNIVERSE'S GRAND COSMIC TROLL!!!???
I am so sorry. It really is a genuine curse from the universe LOL - my girlfriend wanted that same shield so badly forever, and then not only did she get it, they added a lookalike model to (I think?) another dungeon later. Such a nice design on it! Glad you got yours (and a spare!) even at the cost of some sanity. :D
@@specstreTV That shield might have been 75% of my decision to even try learning to tank, lol. Yeah there is a lookalike shield, I saw it on the market board but in my opinion it's not as nice. I think you can dye it, but it's still not the same. There are a fair number of amazing glam weapons from that dungeon, the Summoner/Scholar books are particularly beautiful. I love the Dragoon spear as well. I don't even know why they put them in that dungeon, they don't suit the theme or environment at all. Thanks for the comment, I love your videos by the way!!
@@0Fyrebrand0 Your decision was a totally valid one, I think tanks get some of the most amazing looking gear in the game. Always makes me jealous as a healer, but I just can’t get into the role despite the immense drip… Agreed on the lookalike, it’s too dark and the floral colors of the Castrum one are just too nice to give up. And no thank you! Awesome you’ve been enjoying the videos, and I love reading all the stories people share here, so thanks for taking the time to engage a bit! :D Hope you have a good one!
All MMO's will troll you on loot. Ran the final dungeon of base Endwalker dozens of times as Trust to get the minion. Second run in a normal group after, the minion drops and everyone there already has it.
I remember I spent a whole weekend running The Heroes Gauntlet back to back as tank in pf, trying to get that damn witch king helm. It finally dropped after hours and hours. Literally the next day my retainer brought one back to me 😭
the fact that i usually takes time to find glam inspiration in eorzea collection and then use garlandtool to find similar gear for different class/job is showing that fashion fantasy 14 players share the same braincell
So sorry on the late reply here, but if you haven’t found the pieces and are still interested, I do have an EC post with it. :) ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/glamour/179664/steampunk-machinist
Thank you so much!! :D I put it on Eorzea Collection a bit ago, though the screenshots are kind of terrible quality. Either way, it has the item list (assuming you meant the Paglth'an set): ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/glamour/180669/tribal-viera-healer
Thank you!! :D Heavensward is around when dungeon sets start to be pretty damn good imo, so you're at the perfect slot. Depending on what you're interested in and what role you play, a lot of the level 60 dungeons have some really good stuff-Xelphatol, Sohm Al Hard, the Lost City of Amdapor Hard, Saint Mocianne's Arboretum... there's some definitely good ones. Some have slightly spoilery titles, so I don't want to go into those, but if you're willing to scroll through some pages of pure pictures, check out Eorzea Collection and go to "Gearsets." Rather than player made sets, that has a catalogue of all proper tier sets made by Square, and you can filter to "Dungeon Drops" and then by level to see what sets are around you. That's been super helpful for me in the past! :D
I can understand that... it's both a blessing and curse to play non-Hyur characters, since some things just... don't look right on larger or smaller models, but rarely, some things REALLY click. I've seen a few good glams on femroes, but for sure it always looks like it took them an extra bit of planning LOL
@@zoshnel Yeah, I think this may be why a lot of robes, especially somewhat shorter "dress" style robes are such a disappointment on femroes, but longcoats (such as often offered to MCH) really sing.
I understand completely... I was a lala once before, and while a lot of caster glams looked AMAZING (I love witch hats on lalas, they look so funny in a good way), any time I wore plate or heavier armor I felt... downright silly. Life is hard as a lala, but you're fighting the good fight.
Play Hyur so can't comment much on Lala's issues, but I did have trouble coming with a good Dark Knight glam a while back. My breakthrough was realising that there is a Nodachi DRK weapon in Stormblood and from there creating a Samurai inspired glam for my Dark Knight using mostly the Arhat Fending set, minus the helmet as I don't like that (I use a eyepatch instead). Don't know how that would look on a Lala, but it is a very different style for a DRK so might be worth a look.
@@TheTriforceDragon sounds dope, i ended up completely ditching the drk edgy aesthetic and go with something more like an anime gladiator vibe, using the first lvl90 crafted chestpiece dyed dark green and cronus lux dyed golden as the centerpieces of the glam
I'm a real snob. If I see one person with a similar glam to me, I make a new one. EC is a great spot for me to see what everyone else is using so I can go.a different direction.
i have problems where the piece i want (in my head) dose not seem to exsist i have had trouble finding or the item dose not exsist (i have checked glamour dresser but nothing stands out) any help
I'd recommend checking out Eorzea Collection's "Gearsets" page! (link:ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/gearsets) It will show you MOST sets in the game, and if it's not on there, then unfortunately you will have to wait for them to someday make what you're looking for. You could always participate in the next concept art event for glamours? :D
I understand completely... since making this video, I swapped to male viera, and... while I like it a lot, I want some damn hats. Here's my problem-shouldn't we logically be the BEST race for having super tall witch hats? How is the hat part staying 3ft in the air for every other race? For us, the ears would be the support. Square Enix, make it make sense.
That's the Aoidos' Cloak!! It's a BRD-only level 60 job top, but the "sleeves" are separate-they're the Torrent Armguards of Aiming, and both pieces are dyed Dark Brown! :D

I'm admittedly super basic, I love the 2b boots and legs aesthetic so I always use that as a base for most of my melee and tank sets, then look for chest pieces that compliment it in a way that makes it feel strong, the lv87/wolves marks tank chest, the demon chest, and even abyssos chest though less so, all look great with a unifying colour and black undertones on legs and arms.
Nothing wrong with having pieces you like! I actually respect your workaround; you've got a couple things you like and then build off them in different ways. Totally valid, and from what I can picture knowing those pieces, I bet it looks nice!
@@specstreTV it's actually scary how good the demon chest setup works on paladin, coupled with ruby weapon shield and sword and ruby red dye, it comes out as this really nice blood knight look.
I hate the 2b boots with a passion, if you sit on the ground while wearing them it breaks your leg in at least 3 places. On the other hand the actual Yorha sets from the raid are amazing.
The 2b boots and legs aren't even THAT common, people just severely overexaggerate and per usual have a tendency to hyperfocus on anything '' sexualized ''.
There's pieces that are significantly more overused like the Heavensward weapons or I'd even say the Elemental Eureka armor and Artifact gear.
Or the Eastern mogstation Samurai items with the circular hat etc.
I farmed the All-Seeing eye in Dzemael Darkhold for two whole hours just to get a pair of glasses with red lenses cause I wanted to do a mini Godbert Cosplay. It was worth it
This reminded me to go back to trying to get that dzi of the crimson lotus. 40+ runs and counting (I got the MOUNT and not that stupid sage weapon)
I WILL spend hours running Alliance raids, grinding in Bozja, and fighting PVP matches for my dream Paladin glamour!
This is the holy path we all must walk to drip... I wish you the best LOL
Just play a cat girl and use the latest mog station glam like half of the world population, that's very original!
for me, the most unique glam i have is making my bunny girl cosplay ryougi shiki from kara no kyoukai whenever i play ninja
would probably look better as an au ra or miqote but i like being a bunny girl
I must have tanked Castrum Abania 10 or 15 times in a row just to get the gorgeous paladin sword and shield from that dungeon. Worth it.
Then I ran leveling roulette as DPS... I get Castrum Abania. Paladin set drops from boss, I roll greed and I get it again. WHAT IS THIS, THE UNIVERSE'S GRAND COSMIC TROLL!!!???
I am so sorry. It really is a genuine curse from the universe LOL - my girlfriend wanted that same shield so badly forever, and then not only did she get it, they added a lookalike model to (I think?) another dungeon later. Such a nice design on it! Glad you got yours (and a spare!) even at the cost of some sanity. :D
@@specstreTV That shield might have been 75% of my decision to even try learning to tank, lol.
Yeah there is a lookalike shield, I saw it on the market board but in my opinion it's not as nice. I think you can dye it, but it's still not the same. There are a fair number of amazing glam weapons from that dungeon, the Summoner/Scholar books are particularly beautiful. I love the Dragoon spear as well. I don't even know why they put them in that dungeon, they don't suit the theme or environment at all.
Thanks for the comment, I love your videos by the way!!
@@0Fyrebrand0 Your decision was a totally valid one, I think tanks get some of the most amazing looking gear in the game. Always makes me jealous as a healer, but I just can’t get into the role despite the immense drip…
Agreed on the lookalike, it’s too dark and the floral colors of the Castrum one are just too nice to give up.
And no thank you! Awesome you’ve been enjoying the videos, and I love reading all the stories people share here, so thanks for taking the time to engage a bit! :D Hope you have a good one!
All MMO's will troll you on loot. Ran the final dungeon of base Endwalker dozens of times as Trust to get the minion. Second run in a normal group after, the minion drops and everyone there already has it.
I remember I spent a whole weekend running The Heroes Gauntlet back to back as tank in pf, trying to get that damn witch king helm. It finally dropped after hours and hours. Literally the next day my retainer brought one back to me 😭
Emperor's robe is the only right choice when it comes to glam
the fact that i usually takes time to find glam inspiration in eorzea collection and then use garlandtool to find similar gear for different class/job is showing that fashion fantasy 14 players share the same braincell
so at the timestamp 3:32, there is a moogle and baby chocobo jacket, where can i get that?!? does anyone know?
it's the street attire from the mogstation!
That machinist glam at 2:38 is sick. What pieces are those? Do you have a link to the glamour site for it?
So sorry on the late reply here, but if you haven’t found the pieces and are still interested, I do have an EC post with it. :)
ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/glamour/179664/steampunk-machinist
the fking panel of pain!!!!! I KNOW THEM!!!!
LOL - they're the common enemy of anyone trying to farm glams!
So much sarcasm. So much accuracy.
LOL, I'll take that as a compliment! :D
Okay, to keep in tone with the video on stealing from the good ones: What IS the first set you showed? Looks amazing
Thank you so much!! :D
I put it on Eorzea Collection a bit ago, though the screenshots are kind of terrible quality. Either way, it has the item list (assuming you meant the Paglth'an set): ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/glamour/180669/tribal-viera-healer
Good Stuff, any tips for good glam dungeons? Just went from f2p to getting HW and pretty pumped to glam out
Thank you!! :D Heavensward is around when dungeon sets start to be pretty damn good imo, so you're at the perfect slot. Depending on what you're interested in and what role you play, a lot of the level 60 dungeons have some really good stuff-Xelphatol, Sohm Al Hard, the Lost City of Amdapor Hard, Saint Mocianne's Arboretum... there's some definitely good ones. Some have slightly spoilery titles, so I don't want to go into those, but if you're willing to scroll through some pages of pure pictures, check out Eorzea Collection and go to "Gearsets."
Rather than player made sets, that has a catalogue of all proper tier sets made by Square, and you can filter to "Dungeon Drops" and then by level to see what sets are around you. That's been super helpful for me in the past! :D
I definitely am not already familiar with what Anamnesis is >.>'
1:44 LOL
I just run around in the pajama set tbh
As a longtime femroe main glam is hard
I can understand that... it's both a blessing and curse to play non-Hyur characters, since some things just... don't look right on larger or smaller models, but rarely, some things REALLY click. I've seen a few good glams on femroes, but for sure it always looks like it took them an extra bit of planning LOL
You have my respect, the trick with fem roes is to have the correct hairstyle and then build your glam around it
I find that looks that emphasize long lines work well for my she-hulk heh.
@@zoshnel Yeah, I think this may be why a lot of robes, especially somewhat shorter "dress" style robes are such a disappointment on femroes, but longcoats (such as often offered to MCH) really sing.
Being a lala DRK trying to make a good looking glamour is next level pain
I understand completely... I was a lala once before, and while a lot of caster glams looked AMAZING (I love witch hats on lalas, they look so funny in a good way), any time I wore plate or heavier armor I felt... downright silly. Life is hard as a lala, but you're fighting the good fight.
Play Hyur so can't comment much on Lala's issues, but I did have trouble coming with a good Dark Knight glam a while back. My breakthrough was realising that there is a Nodachi DRK weapon in Stormblood and from there creating a Samurai inspired glam for my Dark Knight using mostly the Arhat Fending set, minus the helmet as I don't like that (I use a eyepatch instead).
Don't know how that would look on a Lala, but it is a very different style for a DRK so might be worth a look.
@@TheTriforceDragon sounds dope, i ended up completely ditching the drk edgy aesthetic and go with something more like an anime gladiator vibe, using the first lvl90 crafted chestpiece dyed dark green and cronus lux dyed golden as the centerpieces of the glam
@@samuffert check the drk exclusive PVP sets. Super neat gear sets to be found there.
I'm a real snob.
If I see one person with a similar glam to me, I make a new one.
EC is a great spot for me to see what everyone else is using so I can go.a different direction.
Could anyone tell me the coat at 3:46? It's so cute!
i have problems where the piece i want (in my head) dose not seem to exsist i have had trouble finding or the item dose not exsist (i have checked glamour dresser but nothing stands out) any help
I'd recommend checking out Eorzea Collection's "Gearsets" page! (link:ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/gearsets)
It will show you MOST sets in the game, and if it's not on there, then unfortunately you will have to wait for them to someday make what you're looking for. You could always participate in the next concept art event for glamours? :D
As a male viera glam is pain, since I'm stuck with only glasses and masks
I understand completely... since making this video, I swapped to male viera, and... while I like it a lot, I want some damn hats. Here's my problem-shouldn't we logically be the BEST race for having super tall witch hats? How is the hat part staying 3ft in the air for every other race? For us, the ears would be the support. Square Enix, make it make sense.
I just wish that pagithan set was dyeable..
I understand... I'm glad more dungeons sets are dyeable these days, but I'd love to see them go back and add the option to more sets!
My advice to male character players: 2B tights are *always* the correct option
tep FFXIV and PSO2 the game where fashion were part of the games design
I bought every piece of glam from PvP and have every reward from PvP...dont talk to me about grind :))
Let it drip...
My partner is losing his mind over the top at 4:18!! He can't find it, and neither can I. Can we get a name? :'D
That's the Aoidos' Cloak!! It's a BRD-only level 60 job top, but the "sleeves" are separate-they're the Torrent Armguards of Aiming, and both pieces are dyed Dark Brown! :D
@@specstreTV Thank you! It's really good and his mind is finally at rest haha :D It looks really nice together!
Good content but it's pretty sad that you put all this effort towards dressing up the most basic catgirl ever.
12?! That's adorable. I WISH the stuff I want dropped after 12 runs. And why is it always the pants that are cursed anyways? 🥲
Chest for me... usually the most important piece, too! The game can be so cruel LOL
