How to make and use Outfit Glamours in Final Fantasy XIV

If you’re anything like me, you’ve likely encountered the “running out of space in my glamour dresser” problem more than once over the years in Final Fantasy XIV. Even though we have 800 slots to fill now, it’s still an issue, but something being added in patch 7.1 might help. 

Outfit Glamours are designed to condense all of the pieces from a particular glamour set so that the whole set only takes up one space in your Glamour Dresser, rather than the five or six slots that it would previously. This is a great little feature, but there is a caveat. 

What sets are compatible with Outfit Glamours in Final Fantasy XIV

In order to create an Outfit Glamour, you must own every piece of the corresponding glamour set and they must all be of the same quality. Take the Casual Attire set, for instance. If you just own the Casual Boots and the Casual Jacket, you won’t be able to condense them down into an Outfit Glamour unless you go and buy the Casual Halfslops as well. And if you own one thing in HQ and the rest of a set in NQ, you’ll need to reduce the quality of all items in order to proceed.

Outfit Glamours are also pretty useless when it comes to event reward sets or items purchased from the Online Store, as both can be stored in the Armoire. However, where this comes in handy is for sets that are given out as quest rewards, such as the Felicitous set from Island Sanctuary, or crafted sets such as the Varsity Attire. 

To tell if an item can be added as part of an Outfit Glamour, check on the Glamour Dresser icon in the top right of the window that pops up when you hover over the item. If there’s a “+” icon, this can be added to the Glamour Dresser as part of an Outfit Glamour.

While at your Glamour Dresser, find an item from the set that you wish to create an Outfit Glamour for in the equipment selection screen, then click on the Outfit Glamour icon to the right of the item’s name. This will bring up a new window, detailing which items will be added to the Outfit Glamour and how many Glamour Prisms you’ll need to proceed.

The listed items will then be condensed into one slot, and placed into the Glamour Dresser.

Making a glamour with items stored under an Outfit Glamour is exactly the same as it was previously, with items appearing as they always have in their previous locations. The only difference is a small note on the window that pops up when you hover over the item, stating that it is stored as part of an Outfit Glamour. 

If you want to retrieve anything that’s included as part of an Outfit Glamour, you’ll need to click on the item and select “Restore Item” as you did previously. However, doing this will retrieve the entire set, rather than just the individual piece that you wanted in the first place. Then, if you want to store the rest of the set again, you won’t be able to store it as an Outfit Glamour without all of the pieces.
