Sorceress JainaWhat are FFXIV glamours?
For those who are new to the game, or alternatively just need a refresher, glamours are custom made outfits that are projected over whatever armor you are wearing. This means that you won’t loose any item level stats, and will be able to look good at the same time!
A whole host of fan-made outfits can be found via the Eorzea Collection, so be sure to browse the catalogue and see if you can find anything that takes your fancy.
How to unlock glamouring in FFXIV
In order to unlock glamouring in FFXIV, you’ll need to go hunting first. Thankfully your prey isn’t anything too scary; it’s just orange juice for a particularly flamboyant fashionista.
Before you visit the lady herself, though, you’ll need to have a few prerequisites sorted first. Namely, you must be Level 15 or above in order to access the quests.
If you’re all levelled up, here’s where to unlock glamours:
- Go to Vesper Bay (Western Thanalan)
- Speak to Swyrgeim
- She can be found leaning on a wall in the Bay’s main square
- Obtain the quest ‘If I had a Glamour’
- You will be asked to bring Swyrgeim Blood Orange Juice. This can be purchased in the local inn from Folclind.
- Give the Blood Orange Juice to Swygeim to unlock glamouring.

Magnifique! Now you’re ready to do Swygeim proud and strut around Eorzea in style.
FFXIV Glamour Prisms
In order to craft yourself some new looks, you’ll need Glamour Prisms. These are essential as it’s them that project the image of your chosen outfit onto your armor.
So where can you get them? You can obtain these stunning crystals in a few different places:
- The market board
- From Grand Company quartermasters
- From vendors
- Quest rewards
- Made by crafters who have learned the crafting recipe.
- In order to learn the recipes yourselves, visit Goberin in Western Thanalan or Tataroga in Mor Dhona after completing Swygeim’s ‘Absolutely Glamourous’ quest.

In order to start adding new looks to your collection, you’ll need to make full use of the Glamour Dresser in your home. This can either be at an inn, or at any property you’ve bought. It’s one prism to store one item, so be sure you’ve got a few stocked up!
Items stored here can then be saved as whole outfits using Glamour Plates. Add all of your components to the plate, save it and then you can cast it to transform your armor into the saved outfit.
FFXIV: Remove glamour
If you’ve made a decision and instantly regretted it, don’t worry, there is a way to dispel any unpleasant fashion faux pas. In order to do so, you’ll need a Glamour Dispeller and 500 Gil to buy it with.
You can pick up a Dispeller from the Market Board, alongside a collection of different vendors.
