Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, Who has the Fairest Glamour of Them All?
Picking a glamour is a hard decision. Especially if you’re a glamour fanatic, you’ll most likely go through five in a week. I’ve combed through Eorzea Collection to find only the best of the best. And I have even better news— the glamours I have chosen are gender-friendly! So, grab your notebooks and start taking notes on the ones you like! I can almost guarantee that you’ll find a glamour that will fit your fancy.
1) Blackrose Duelist
( Picture above belongs to Yen’to Tahzun on server Chaos )
Just as Yen’to says, the roses shared between the Edenmorn weapon and the Plague Bringer's coats are perfect for the aesthetic that Red Mage has going for it! The bonus is the dark academia feel to it. Although, Yen’to does warn about the pants looking different on female models: it turns into booty shorts.

The Hat— Virtu Duelist’s Chapeau
- Virtu Duelist Chapeau is obtained in one way: PVP content.
Trophy Crystals
The way you earn trophy crystals is through Series Malmstones. You’ll need 1,500 of them before you can trade them in for the hat. The NPC you’re looking for is the Crystal Quartermaster at Wolves’ Den Pier [ X: 4.4, Y: 6.1]. If you don’t know what a series malmstones is or how to unlock PVP, don’t worry— I got you covered. Dvalin has a video explaining what the malmstones are and how they work. Then there’s a guide on Final Fantasy XIV Loadstone that shows you how to unlock PvP.
The Body— Plague Bringer’s Coat
- Plague Bringer’s Coat is obtained in one way: Dungeon grinding.
Saint Mocianne’s Arboretum & Pharos Sirius (Hard)
Depending on your rolls, it might not be so much of a grind. However, you should always mentally prepare yourself for a grind. This coat can be dropped in two dungeons: Saint Mocianne’s Arboretum & Pharos Sirius (Hard). Both of them are a level 60 that can be unlocked in the Heavenwards expansion; although, the Pharos Sirius is unlocked through the blue side-quest marker.
The Hands— Darklight Gloves of Casting
- Darklight Gloves of Casting is obtained in one way: Dungeon grinding.
The Lost City of Amdapor, Halatail (Hard), & Brayflox’s Longstop (Hard)
Depending on your rolls, it might not be so much of a grind. However, you should always mentally prepare yourself for a grind. These gloves can be dropped in three dungeons: The Lost City of Amdapor, Halatail (Hard), & Brayflox’s Longstop (Hard). They’re all level 50 that’s unlockable through Realm Reborn. Although, all of them are unlockable through a blue side-quest marker.
The Legs— Arachne Culottes of Casting
- Arachne Culottes of Casting is obtained in two ways: crafting and the market board.
Weaver & Player’s Market
To weave this, you need to be a level 50. You could buy this off the market, but according to Universalis, the cheapest you're gonna get it at is 61,860. Remember, the pants look different on female models! So, you might want to change the bottoms.
The Feet— Halonic Exorcist’s Thighboots
- Halonic Exorcist’s Thighboots is obtained in one way: Dungeon grinding.
The Vault
Depending on your rolls, it might not be so much of a grind. However, you should always mentally prepare yourself for a grind. These boots are dropped in only one dungeon: The Vault. It’s a level 57 dungeon that’s unlocked through the storyline of Heavenward.
The Weapon— Edenmorn Rapier
- Edenmorn Rapier is obtained in one way: Eden’s Promise: Eternity (Savage)
Edenmorn Weapon Coffer & Books of Eternity
Now, my best advice for running this raid is to do it unsyned. Yes, depending on your stats, you will still have to mind mechanics, but it helps you burn through the boss quicker. There are two things you’re waiting to drop: the books and the weapon coffer. The best thing would be the coffer: you just have to open it in the correct class, and you’ll get the corresponding weapon. However, you should still roll on the books!
If you have eight books and no coffer, you can trade them into nearby NPCs.
- Ghoul Gul in Amh Araeng ( X: 26.6, Y: 16.4 )
- Yhal Yal in Eulmore ( X: 10.0, Y: 11.5 )
- Mowen’s Merchant in The Crystarium ( X: 10.1, Y: 11.8 )
2) Reiterpallasch Hunter
( Picture above belongs to J’roric Citlalloh on server Crystal )
This caught my eye due to it looking like something from Bloodborne. And— surprise, surprise, the creator admitted this is heavily inspired by Bloodborne.

The Hat— Anemos Duelist’s Chapeau
- Anemos Duelist’s Chapeau is obtained in one way: Stormblood Relic.

Now, I don’t know too much about relic weapons or armor as I have never done them. Luckily, there’s more than enough information that’s out there. If you don’t know the hows or whats, Graehl Gaming has a video that explains it all. What about if you don’t have the area unlocked, PrincessUniKoRn has a video that quickly explains everything under a minute.

You have to complete a mission called Light of Inspiration. Just make sure to have your Red Mage at level 80 and talk to Genoldt. After you complete How Deep the Rabbit Hole Goes IV, you will have the weapon.
3) Yokai
( Picture above belongs to Vhenan Lavellan on server Primal )
What really caught my eye about this glamour is the tattoos. As you know, Final Fantasy XIV doesn’t really give us many choices of tattoos. The only way to get a tattoo somewhere other than your face is certain pieces of armor. So, glams that have them tend to catch my attention! Also, these are the same bottoms as the very first glamour. So, if you have a girl character, you might want to change bottoms.

4) Spoopy
( Picture above belongs to Valkariel Dawnbringer on server Aether )
This glamour is so, so cute, and it’s perfect for Red Mage! Sure, they don’t have a wand. However, the weapon used for this glam is the best substitute— look at it! The little thingy floating in her hand is so pretty too. Plus, as I said at the beginning of this article, this is guy-friendly.

If you have five of the idols before you get the coffer, you can trade in them for the chest piece. The NPC you’re looking for is C’intana in Mor Dhona ( X: 22.7, Y: 6.6 ).
