On low levels, new players have to wear in Final Fantasy XIV equipment that doesn't look very chic.In addition, it often has the most inappropriate colors.We explain to you what you can do about it.

That is the problem: Let's be honest: At low levels, the game character in FFXIV looks like a clown and that is not the fault of the players.They make a lot of effort to shape their character in the creator so that he or she looks cool, pretty or cute.

But the developer's will was that the equipment at low levels that you can buy from the NPC or gets as a reward from quests is always dipped in a wide variety of colors.As a newcomer to level 10, you like to walk through the area in a green helmet, a red top, a yellow trousers and shoes.

Even long -time players had to go through there.Of course you could pull out the account now and buy pretty outfits in the cash shop from FFXIV.But you can prettify without having to pay real money.We have some tips for you how you can miss your warrior of Light from level 15 really cool clothes.

Change color

So you can dye your items: the possibility is available to you as soon as you have reached level 15.With a quest you can unlock the option, to miss your outfits a different color.

The quest can be found in the following place:

Players who have started their journey in the city of Ul’dah can run directly to the Quest-NPC in western Thanalan with level 15 and unlock the coloring option there.Players from Gridania can theoretically do it too, but their route is a lot longer.Players from Limsa Lominsa, on the other hand, first have to complete the level 15 main scenario quest “The Voice of the Sea” in order to be able to travel from the island to other cities.

As soon as you have unlocked the color option, you can click on your equipment and look at what it will look like in different colors.

In order to be able to color an item of equipment, you must have the corresponding color in the inventory.You can buy them at NPC retailers in the three capitals, on the market board or manufacture yourself if you have the necessary craftsman levels and the materials.You can also completely remove the color of your clothes by using the Terebinthe oil.

  • Projections, also known as a transmog

    "Transmog" Understand many MMORPG players a system that enables them to change the appearance of equipment.Final Fantasy XIV says “projection”.It can also be unlocked from level 15, namely on the same NPC as dyeing.

    This feature allows you to cover up the appearance of the unpleasant and unsuitable armor pieces by "projection" over it.In this way you can put together your own cool set combinations and in the game very early.

    Projecting works without exception with all armor objects as long as they can be carried by the respective job.For example, you cannot make a white magician look like a paladin.This also applies to craftsmen and collector classes.

    In order to be able to change the appearance of a armor item, you also need projection predecessor that you can buy from NPCs or on the market board.Alternatively, you can exchange them against state thaler at your state companies.Each projection consumes a prism.

    There are also a number of rules that apply when projecting:

  • So that you do not always have to carry the armor parts that you only use to project, there is the projection table with 400 additional inventory spaces in FFXIV.It stands in the guest rooms of the different cities.There you can take off your entire clutter and also experiment with individual combinations without having to spend prism for it.

    The chest of drawers also enables you to put together up to 15 different sets and save them.This allows you to experiment with the things you have and combine them as you want (and how the rules allow it).

    If necessary, you can then be projected immediately via the current Gear, provided that all conditions are met (right job, etc.).If you need the items again, you can easily remove them out of the chest of drawers.

    Where can I get cool clothes from?

    You get this on the market board: the logical contact point for new outfits is of course the market board.There you will find many armaments with level 1, which are only intended as projection items.However, the problem is that they are often sinfully expensive, especially when you get into FFXIV as a new player.

    But that doesn't stay that way.Some of the objects have been available for many years and their price has dropped accordingly.So you can look around on the market board and search for such bargains.In this way you can put together cool projection sets in the game early without having to spend money in the cash shop.

    But also on other levels in the low area there are pretty armor parts such as the Allagic armor at level 50.So browse through the offers and try everything you like (and what you can afford).

    However, this option is denied to the players of the free test version.You cannot interact with the market board.

    You get that in the PvP: If you don't want to spend a gil at all, you can look around in the PvP of FFXIV.Through daily content as well as normal matches in the arenas or from battlefields, you collect wolf brands that you can exchange for various cosmetic items.

    In addition to mounts, companions and hairstyles, there are also several cool armor sets that you can grab.Many of these sets are also level 1 and can be freely projected and colored.It also has the positive side effect that you can collect Exp for your classes via the completion of the PvP content and that you can level on the side when farming.

  • You get this from dungeons: In some dungeons you will also find chic clothes that often offer good status values for the respective level.There are individual chic parts for magicians and the various sets from the Dungeon Brüllvox ’Langrast on level 32 directly in the first three dungeons..

    You get a larger selection from level 50 if you unlock new dungeons.These also offer different armor sets, some of which look very chic.To see which dungeons could be interesting for you as projection sources, you can use the Eorzea Collection page.If you go to “Gearsets” in the menu above, you can look at the preview of all armor sets from FFXIV on male and female characters and find out how you get them.

  • You can also farm allagic stones of poetry in the level 50 dungeons, which you can also exchange for equipment at the NPC Auriana in Mor Dhona (x: 22.7 / y: 6.7).This armor not only looks cool, but is also one of the best that you can have at level 50.So if you want a certain set of a dungeon anyway, then you have the positive side effect that you farm allagic stones.
