Glamour is Final Fantasy XIV Mobile's vanity system that allows players to transform the appearance of their gear. The mobile version features a significantly streamlined glamour system compared to the PC/Console version, where glamours are permanently unlocked and can be freely changed without additional costs.

In FFXIV Mobile, using a Glamour Prism on an item permanently unlocks its glamour version, which can then be freely equipped in glamour slots whenever desired. This system eliminates the need for repeated prism usage and glamour dressers, making outfit changes more convenient for mobile play. The system includes 15 Glamour Plates available by default, with additional plates purchasable through the premium currency.

Most visible gear including weapons, shields, armor, and accessories can be glamoured. Level 1 items that serve purely cosmetic purposes and store outfits are added directly to your glamour collection.

How Glamour Works in Mobile

Unlocking Glamours

Unlike the PC/Console version, FFXIV Mobile uses a permanent unlock system:

1. Use a File:Item.png  Glamour Prism on any piece of equipment to permanently unlock its glamour version
2. Once unlocked, the glamour can be freely equipped in your glamour slots without any additional cost
3. Original gear items can be kept, sold, or discarded after unlocking their glamour
4. Store-bought outfits and cosmetic items are automatically added to your glamour collection

Requirements and Restrictions

The mobile version maintains similar restrictions to the original:

1. Character must meet the level requirement of the glamoured item
2. Job/class restrictions still apply
3. Gender and race restrictions remain in effect

Glamour Plates

The Glamour Plate system has been enhanced for mobile:

• 15 Glamour Plates are available by default
• Additional plates can be purchased with premium currency
• Plates can be saved and linked directly to specific jobs
• Switching between saved glamour plates is instant and can be done from anywhere

Dye System

The dye system in FFXIV Mobile works differently from PC/Console:

Permanent Color Unlocks

1. Using a dye on a piece of equipment permanently unlocks that color for that specific item
2. Once a color is unlocked (e.g., Dalamud Red on your Evenstar Coat), it remains freely available even after changing to other colors
3. Each piece of equipment remembers all colors that have been unlocked for it

Dye Channels

• Not all gear pieces have the same number of dye channels
• Most equipment has one dye channel, while some have none
• Premium cash shop items tend to have more layered dye options with multiple channels
• The system does not support 16 different dye channels as previously rumored

Glamour Prisms

File:Item.png  Glamour Prisms serve a different purpose in the mobile version:

• Each prism permanently unlocks one item's glamour
• Prisms are consumed upon unlocking a glamour
• Once an item's glamour is unlocked, no additional prisms are needed
• Can be obtained through:
  • Grand Company Seals
  • Quest rewards
  • Events and Battle Pass
  • Gil purchases from vendors

Quality of Life Features

FFXIV Mobile includes several improvements to the glamour system:

• No need to visit inn rooms or glamour dressers
• Glamour changes can be made from any location through the menu
• Glamour plate links persist when changing gear
• All glamour-related functions are accessible through the main menu

Obtaining Glamour Items

1. 1. 1. Glamour-Only Items###

Many items in FFXIV Mobile exist purely as glamours:

• Level 1 cosmetic items that serve no combat purpose
• Store outfits and cash shop items
• Event rewards and promotional items
• These items are automatically added to your glamour collection upon acquisition

1. 1. 1. Regular Equipment###

• Any equipment piece can be converted to a glamour using a Glamour Prism
• The original item does not need to be kept after unlocking its glamour

Comparison to PC/Console Version

The mobile glamour system represents a significant departure from the original:

Feature	PC/Console	Mobile
Glamour Prisms	Required for each application	One-time unlock per item
Glamour Dresser	Required for plates	Not needed
Storage Limit	800 items in dresser	Unlimited unlocked glamours
Dye Usage	Consumed on use	Permanently unlocks color
Plate Limit	20 plates	15 plates (expandable)
Location Restrictions	Inn rooms/cities only	Anywhere

Tips

• Prioritize unlocking glamours for items you use frequently across multiple jobs
• Save rare dyes for pieces you plan to use long-term, as they permanently unlock
• Link glamour plates to specific jobs for automatic outfit changes
• Consider which items to unlock based on your available Glamour Prisms
