You can also link glamour plates to item sets, which allows for some extra fancy gear set making. However, you can only cast glamour plates when you’re in a city. Image: Square Enix via PolygonĪfter setting the plate up at a dresser, you can access your plates at any time from your character menu to cast them. Using the dresser, you can make glamour plates, which allow you to cast glamour for an entire outfit at once, rather than one by one.


You can manually glamour single items by using the Cast Glamour skill. Once you do this, you’ll be able to use the Glamour skill, found in the general tab of your actions and traits window. In Vesper Bay, you’ll find a female NPC with an eccentrically colored outfit named Swyrgeim, who will give you the quest “If I Had a Glamour.” To unlock the ability to glamour, you need to be at least level 15 and be far enough in the main scenario quests to access Western Thanalan. (So no, you cannot trick somebody into thinking you’re a level 80 Dragoon, when you’re really a level 30 White Mage.)

The gear you want to use the appearance of has to be at the same or a lower level than yours, and it must be for the same class or job. Glamouring allows you to use glamour prisms to project the appearance of a piece of equipment over the equipment you’re wearing, with some limitations.

In this FFXIV guide, we’ll talk about how to unlock glamour, how to dye gear, and how fancy up your gear in a variety of ways, using the glamour dresser and plates to automate your fashion to a click of one button. As you play Final Fantasy 14, you’ll unlock the ability to dress your character up, while also keeping the good stats of high level gear.
