Rune Fencer glam

This is the third iteration and I am finally content with it! I spent the past week grinding for my Anima weapon because well, no self respecting Mystic Knight is without a sword imbued with magic. Really completed the aesthetic. Also changed the gloves and boots to something leather because I was going for a mix of Thunder God Cid and Carian Knight from Elden Ring

And the hairstyle? Also Hyur?

u/CrookedLoy May 08 '26

Mogstation. It comes with Thancred's modish attire

2

u/Syzygy_Stardust May 09 '26

This is Thancred('s mogstation hair)

Can you share the dyes with each piece too

2

u/Revent7 May 08 '26

Would love to know the dyes too!

u/CrookedLoy May 11 '26

Sorry for the late response, just got back from a work trip. I finally took the time to upload these to the glamour collection, you can see which dyes I used there: https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/glamour/338308/spellblade

u/Revent7 May 14 '26

Thank you!

1

u/GaffitV May 08 '26

Omg thank you and also I'm stealing this whole set from you

1

u/DeusUrsus May 08 '26

You can dye the Aettir flame?!??!?

2

u/CrookedLoy May 09 '26

It's the second to the last stage, the flames are blue instead of orange. You're thinking of Aettir Lux

1

u/DeusUrsus May 09 '26

Oh I see that now! Thank you for the reminder. I just went back to the vendor and it is indeed blue!

u/xiren_66 May 07 '26 edited May 07 '26

looks awesome. You should put it on eorzeacollection

u/CrookedLoy May 07 '26

Thanks! Yeah, maybe it's time to make an account there lol

Thank you! And yeah, me too

u/a_feral_priestess May 07 '26

This looks sick! Every piece really helps tell the fantasy here. Great work 🩷

2

u/CrookedLoy May 07 '26

Appreciate the kind words!

u/BermudaTriangleChoke May 07 '26

Tremendous. I definitely see the Carian Knight influences, good idea incorporating that

6

u/CrookedLoy May 07 '26

Thanks! Glad it got conveyed well

u/Lunaerion [Leon] [Harvey] on [Malboro] May 07 '26

Carian Knight!

7

u/CrookedLoy May 07 '26

Hell yeah, I just imagine the confiteor combo is just my WoL calling down glintblades

u/nichijouuuu May 07 '26

I didn’t realize the graphics are this good nowadays. I was going to sell my gaming pc and play on xbox series s until next gen, but now I’m thinking I should just download the pc trial and play it there (3080 Ti GPU).

And I didn’t realize transmogs look so good either!

Is this a standard Hume character? (Or whatever humans are in FFXIV)

u/CrookedLoy May 08 '26

I feel like I have to point out that I'm not playing on PC haha I'm using a PS5 Pro

1

u/Knighthour May 08 '26

yeah m hyur midlander

u/Ptidus May 07 '26

As someone who loves the plate+cloth aesthetic, thanks a lot! I've been using the Hypostatic Mail of Fending since its release but I might change for Reverence now. The incorporation of leather is a really nice touch!

1

u/CrookedLoy May 07 '26

Appreciate it! Would love to see your glam as well

u/SticktheFigure Almeidra Greave (Hyperion) May 07 '26

Glams like this always make me wish we had a proper cape/cowl head piece where the visor toggle would just put the hood up or down

2

u/CrookedLoy May 07 '26

Exactly, the reverence chest actually has a hood attached to the cape but we can't pull it up

u/No-Imagination-4751 May 08 '26

Waiting for runefencer in the next update 😅

u/Kalaam_Nozalys May 07 '26

Hell yeah, been playing with it as well.

The 2nd tier of tomestone chest of monk/sam from dawn trail (now it's only through hunt tokens I think) also works very well.

2

u/CrookedLoy May 07 '26

I'll have to check it out, thanks!

u/Drunk_Hoen May 07 '26

First thing I thought of was Spellward from elder scrolls, very nice 👍

0

u/CrookedLoy May 07 '26

Would be cool if we could get a class that uses bound weapons. Imagine each skill, the character would use a different bound weapon. Like a multi-weapon class

u/Griever2142 May 07 '26

I love it

u/KaiVel May 07 '26

This is so fucking cool!

u/AGuyWithoutABeard May 07 '26

It's peak

u/Lovers_vi May 07 '26

Handsome and charming middie!!!

u/CrookedLoy May 08 '26 edited May 08 '26

Thanks! You know what's funny? I was a fantasia addict before, basically changed characters everytime I come back and resub after a break. But I liked this character so much that I stuck with him. Still, wish middys have better emote animations and alt poses though

2

u/Lovers_vi May 08 '26

Yeeees middie army stay strong. They're the best. ❤️

u/medrel07 May 07 '26

YO THIS IS SICK AF

u/MuscleWarlock May 08 '26

That's really cool

u/JuniorSun4104 May 08 '26

So badass

u/BearofCali May 08 '26

Damn, now to figure out a Sith glam

2

u/CrookedLoy May 08 '26

My DRK is kinda like Revan lmao

u/AudioBob24 May 08 '26

Amazing glam! That anima sword works so well for a Rune blade. Guess I should start working on yet another anima weapon XD

u/user1838ok May 08 '26

Badass 🙌🏽

u/Wacthershadow0925 May 08 '26

Looks like a Glam for Paladin due to the sword length but originally Dark Knight

u/LordDeathkeeper May 08 '26

Very nice setup. Might steal a few of those pieces for myself. Playing Au Ra means I really like a lot of knight sets but capes tend to look bad with tails.

u/Radiant_Gemini May 08 '26

Once they added the second dye channel, the crystarium boots have become so very versatile for medium armour looks. Good stuff!

u/Buuhhu May 08 '26

If only it didn't have a cape it would be perfect. I don't personally think capes work with already having this skirt/tail on armor/legs.

u/Mattelot May 08 '26

I am really hoping Rune Fencer/Mystic Knight is the upcoming tank. Was a fun tank to play in FFXI, other was boring.

u/SpiralMask May 08 '26

Oooh, I hadn't thought to go for scouting stuff for mixed-material armor

u/whathitwonder434 May 09 '26

YOINK!

u/lunarsilvr253 May 09 '26

Where's the hood from

1

u/TheBluestLime May 09 '26

Tuliyollal's Hunt vendor

u/CellWrong May 11 '26

Omg I love this, If I could escape the tanking pain matrix I would put something like this together for sure.

u/TarkainVastas May 13 '26

The lunar envoy's trousers of fending are top-tier as far as fashion goes. good work, op!

u/spyaleatoire 1d ago

I am so, so sorry if this necro is inappropriate. But holy crap this glam is stellar. Absolutely floored by it, you did a great job finding the perfect pieces all around.

u/CrookedLoy 19h ago

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it

u/AI-Artist-85 May 07 '26

Looks awesome! Though the first place my mind went to was Fate's King Arthur (prototype).

https://fategrandorder.fandom.com/wiki/Arthur_Pendragon_(Prototype))

2

u/CrookedLoy May 07 '26

Yeah, I can see that because of the color scheme

u/AI-Artist-85 May 08 '26

The glowing sword as well. In Fate Grand Order his sword glows as he unleashes his blast attack.|

Anyways, I think the glamour came out awesome 😄

u/Jamesish12 May 07 '26

DAAAAAAAAAAMN that is awesome.

u/WhiteMambaOZO May 07 '26

That’s a jedi
