Fashion Report

The Fashion Report is an activity at the Gold Saucer wherein Masked Rose issues a theme to which players must dress themselves, then go before him for judging.

MGP can be earned once per week for partaking in a Fashion Report, with bonus MGP being awarded to those who achieve a high rating. Players who continue to undertake these challenges will gain access to unique prizes via exchange.

Requirements

Level 15
NPC: Lewena
Quest: Passion for Fashion
Location: The Gold Saucer (X:4.8, Y:6.1)
Prerequisite: Players must first complete the quest It Could Happen to You.

Themes

Speak with Masked Rose at the Gold Saucer (X:7.2 Y:7.4) to learn what theme he has assigned for the Fashion Report. The theme will be updated every week on Tuesday at 12:00 a.m. (PST).

Judging

Participants are judged on a scale of 1 to 100. Judging will begin each week on Friday at 12:00 a.m. (PST).

It is possible to undertake this challenge up to four times each week between Friday and the following Tuesday before a new theme has been decided.

Any gear using glamours will be judged based on its glamoured appearance.
Any gear presented for judging in the Fashion Report will be bound to the player, and can no longer be traded or sold on the market board.

Score calculation

Simply wearing any item in all 11 equipment slots (Off-hand is not considered) will grant a baseline score of 68 points.

Theme modifiers

Each week, 4 gear slots will have a named theme. Wearing an item that matches the slot's theme will grant +8 bonus points. On the summary menu after judging, items that match the theme are indicated by a gold medal.

Dyes

Each slot on the left side of the gear menu (weapon, head, body, arms, legs, and feet) has a preferred dye color for the week.

If the item in that slot is dyed the correct color, +2 bonus points are granted. This is a specific color, for example Rose Pink Dye.
If the dye used is at least in the same category, then +1 bonus point is granted. Extending the previous example of Rose Pink, using any other color in the red category will earn +1 point.

Note that while theme and dye do stack, some items that match a theme are not dye-able. In such a case, matching the theme is a higher priority for the higher point gain.

Rewards

Players will receive 10,000 MGP for participating in the Fashion Report. Those who receive a rating of 80 points or more will receive an additional 50,000 MGP. Moreover, those who continue to participate in these challenges will gain access to Kasumi's boutique, which contains other unique items.

Both the reward for participation and the bonus for high ratings can only be received once per week.
Players need to earn a cumulative total of 600 points (or a minimum of 6 weeks' participation if one earns 100 points per week) to fully unlock Kasumi's inventory.

Tips

Because the weekly fashion report is the same for all players, one can merely consult a crowdsourced recommendations list to achieve 80 or 100 points per week.

Players need to earn 100 points in one week to unlock the You Look Marvelous III achievement and Fashion Leader title. However, they will always earn the same amount of MGP if they receive at least 80 points. Because of this, it is much more economical to aim for only 80 points per week, which can be achieved using easy to obtain items and dyes.

As the 100 point requirement usually requires some items that are more difficult or expensive to obtain, if one is not in a hurry to obtain the achievement and title or unlock additional items from Kasumi, it may be worth waiting for a week with easier items.
