Final Fantasy XIV's Dawntrail expansion changed the dynamic of glamour play with features like Facewear, which finally allows players to sport their favorite glasses while also donning headgear. If you're wondering how it works, here's our handy guide on how to obtain and use Facewear in FFXIV Dawntrail.
FFXIV: How the New Facewear Slot Works and New Unlockable Glasses!
The Facewear feature effectively revamps some of what were once fashion accessories in Final Fantasy XIV, turning them into a special type of glamour that you can customize to your liking. In order to actually use this feature, however, you'll need to complete a few steps first.
Head to the Gold Saucer and speak to the Prize Claim Attendant standing next to the Cactpot Broker in Entrance Square, and you'll notice that several new Facewear options have been added for varying amounts of MGP. Chances are, however, that you've already obtained some or all of these as Fashion Accessories, and the game will instead tell you to exchange them for Facewear by speaking to a Calamity Salvager in Limsa Lominsa, Gridania, or Ul'dah.
When interacting with a Calamity Salvager you should see 'Spectacles Exchange' at the bottom. Select that, followed by 'Exchange Spectacles (convert to facewear)', and you should receive all of your previous spectacle Fashion Accessories as Facewear, effectively unlocking the feature for you.
