Thumbnail A/B testing is a form of normalized gaslighting and I am, understandably, not a fan.
Snapshop from YouTube subscription page showing the same video "Knives and Thorns | Critical Role | Campaign 4, Episode 6" but with a thumbnail featuring Sam and his character Wicander, instead of Whitney and her character Tyranny.

I got a few more solo shots because that space is just SO COOL.
#ffxivnaia
Vertical shot of Naia, in black-and-white Red Mage attire, walking into the final victory area at the end of Pilgrim's Traverse. Well-maintained carved stone floors act as a canvas to cast shadows from outside the shot, and from Naia. Warm yellow lamps hang on the walls in the back, and line the covered stairs that serve as an entrance to this place. Wide horizontal shot of Naia, in black-and-white Red Mage attire, walking into the final victory area at the end of Pilgrim's Traverse. Warm yellow lamps hang on the walls in the back, and line the covered stairs that serve as an entrance to this place. Twin chandeliers, and multiple mirrored large floor lamps, boast the same golden glow. The room is symmetrical but the decor is not: on the left stand a pair of wooden closets and seating with a candle-lit table; on the right, plush couches in front of a round table and mantle, above which hangs a painting of the violet foliage of Lakeland. A horizontal shot of Naia walking through the victory space at the end of Pilgrim's Traverse. The place is built of beautiful carved stone. It is like a massive balcony, with huge openings looking out into a magical space with floating crystal-studden isles of rock. Two cushioned benches are placed by round cloth-covered tables, in front of a mantle and a framed painting of the purple foliage of Lakeland.

yay I finally got another full clear of Pilgrim's Traverse \o/
I just haven't had the time/energy, but I did tonight!
Very cool matched group ran from 71 to 100.
Duty Complete screenshot for Pilgrim's Traverse (Stones 91-100). Four characters line up, posed in victory, at the duty's final reward location. Lo-fang Luxuria (Sage), Emerald Pie (Warrior), Stark Wolfhard (Samurai), and Naia Lalita (Red Mage).

The one in the screenshot: Valkyrie's Cuirass of Fending! Maiming is similar, blue.
They drop from Xelphatol and Great Gubal Library. Sadly that means pure RNG; no leveling dungeon loot guarantee.
The Vault offers Halonic pieces of the same design for Aiming, Striking, and Scouting.
All undyeable 💔
5-item overview from Garlandtools.org showing the "same" piece of Body gear with different color treatments. None can be dyed. Halonic pieces are i142 and drop from The Vault; Auditor's = Aiming, Friar's = Stroking, Vicar's = Scouting. Valkyrie's pieces are i225 and drop from Xelphatol and Great Gubal Library; Maiming and Fending.

I still have my Bozja BIS, so I'll be keen to help!
You did specify here Zadnor/Dalriada for glam, and I recall you said Healing, so I assume you're after the i525 Blade's set?
There's 3 distinct gear sets from Bozja areas.
First 2 are easy farms!
Third is a grind (and requires DRS).
Fitting Room Preview of the i525 Blade's Healing gear, obtainable in Zadnor from the Resistance Supplier for Bozjan Platinum Coins. Items are previewed in Pure White, Ruby Red, Neon Green, Honey Yellow, and Dragoon Blue to clearly highlight item boundaries and dye application. A full 5-piece set costs 36 Bozjan Platinum Coins. Head, Hands, and Feet are 6 Platinum Coins each; Body and Legs are 9 Platinum Coins each. Fitting Room Preview of the i495 Bozjan Healing gear, obtainable in the Bozjan Southern Front from the Resistance Supplier for Bozjan Coins. Items are previewed in Pure White, Ruby Red, Neon Green, Honey Yellow, and Dragoon Blue to clearly highlight item boundaries and dye application. A full 5-piece set costs 98 Bozjan Coins. Head, Hands, and Feet are 14 Coins each; Body and Legs are 28 Coins each. Fitting Room Preview of the i510 Augmented Law's Order Healing gear, obtainable in Gangos from the Resistance Supplier. Items are previewed in Pure White, Ruby Red, Neon Green, Honey Yellow, and Dragoon Blue to clearly highlight item boundaries and dye application. The base gear of this set cannot be dyed, and the Augmented set requires obtaining and augmenting the full role set of Bozjan gear, obtaining the full role base set of Law's Order gear, and requires augmentation items exclusively obtained in Delubrum Reginae (Savage).

Delighted I got to snag a spot in @jocat.net 's FFXIV x Monster Hunter Wilds adventures tonight.
We beat up normal Arkveld, then managed to see thru the whole Extreme—died to enrage haha—with half or more of the party starting fresh!

It took me 3 days to complete the 35-item set.
I wish I could store them. It took so much time and effort.
Alas.
Tens of thousands of glamour items. 800 storage slots.
And sets like these don't even have the benefit of the Outfit bandage EVEN THOUGH these would be IDEAL—you can't dye them anyway!
in-game results for /isearch warg "35 matches found containing "warg." this is the complete list of left-side items for all 7 sets of gear (fending, maiming, striking, aiming, scouting, healing, and casting). screen snip of my in-game Glamour Dresser, on the Body gear tab. The total at the bottom reads "793/800." The display shows 50 distinct pieces of gear, from hard-to-farm duties like level cap dungeons, alliance raids, savage raids; as well as easier-to-farm leveling dungeons where all the gear has distinct default colorways and/or variety in extra details (like armor, sashes, etc). As a Mentor player with all jobs at Lv100, yes, I do only keep the items I judge as difficult to obtain again. And even that doesn't fit in here. My Armory Chest (not pictured) is stuffed with overflow items. My retainers (not pictured) are stuffed with previous relics and relic armor.

Kinda proud of my little preview collages to go along with my reddit write-up, so I'll bump this one last time here with some shiny new visuals 💖 #ffxiv

Could I just use the official SE picture from when the Warg gear was added to the game? Yes.

Am I doing that?
... No.

THREE MORE PIECES!!

I've been at this for 5+ hours already.

This is a live demonstration of the value of some of the event items LOL

Between the excessive emergency and hotfix maintenances, and this intense DDoS period, I really miss when #ffxiv /SE actually gave a shit about customers' wasted money and issued compensatory game time :')
Fourth DDoS disconnect (that I've personally experienced/noticed) today. "The server is currently congested. Players in queue: 418."

Took a break from Final FanDDoSy to do a little
✨fantasy shopping✨ instead

by which I mean I spent an hour on walmart dot com putting 8 food items (rice, beans, coffee, and sauce) into my fantasy cart to earn free fantasy shipping.
Now it's time to sigh and close the tab bc I can't afford $35.
8 Items. Tiny thumbnails showing a bag of rice, a jar of curry sauce, a plastic coffee canister, a box of curry roux, and an 8-pack of canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans). The curry sauce, coffee, and roux have quantity marked "2". "Items in your cart are selling fast! Check out soon before they're sold out."

I DID have a 1.0 character... but she only lived long enough for me to (agonizingly) get to the Adventurer's Guild. My computer could NOT run the game.
Sorry you never got the story you deserved, Kyrie 💔

Naia was made in 2017 and she's still my main :) I still have my first ever screenshot of her, too!
Interestingly... the screenshot file says May 13 but the lodestone says May 12!
Naia Lalita's oldest achievement, according to the lodestone! Dated May 12, 2017 - Exploration achievement "Mapping the Realm: Middle La Noscea" earned! As of today, Naia has 60 pages of achievements (2996 Total) A screenshot of Day 1 Naia Lalita in the opening Limsa Lominsa cutscene for FFXIV. She's had the same green skin, sea-blue eyes, and purple hair the whole time!

The worst part of this, is I am ALMOST CERTAIN they previewed a new set of glamour that does display different on male vs female characters. Again.

I would love to be wrong. Because BOTH of these are stunning.
Screenshot from the 89th FFXIV Live Letter, showing two characters—a female Viera and a male Elezen—standing apart from each other demonstrating "rewards" from upcoming DT Variant Dungeon content. The two are wearing markedly different outfit pieces, but extremely similar in concept/design. Between past Variant rewards including a single glamour set per dungeon, and the devs pulling genderlock nonsense, this appears to the be the same gear displaying differently based on character gender.

Okay nah this shit sucks actually.

3+ hours already between Aether AND Materia and literally cannot get into this content.

I got a single 1-10 run 3 hours ago. That's it. I can't even try to run 1-10 solo on this character because, aetherpool.
Yet another attempt to queue into Pilgrim's Traverse. It started with the usual lying "Less than 5m" Average Wait Time. It now shows 1/4 party members, Time Elapsed: 51:12/Average Wait Time: More than 30m. I have now wasted over 3 hours, more than 1/8 (12.5%) of an entire real human day, with a single 1-10 run to show for it. This content is barely 3 weeks old.

You can also toggle this on/off in Character Configuration > Log Window Settings > Log Filters.
This is a good option if you DO like the chat notifs, but not all the time—you can designate a less-used tab to have them On but turn them Off in other tab(s).
Screenshot of the Character Configuration > Log Window Settings > General > Log Filters > Announcements setting window for a selected chat tab (1: General). Way towards the bottom is "Periodic Recruitment Notifications" which can be turned on/off per user preference for each chat tab (up to 4) in-game.

Folks were overall VERY wiggly so getting candid portraits was hard for me this time. Even still, I snapped 3 that turned out pretty nice!
