Look like Lord Fortemps in all your Ishgardian dealings
Final Fantasy XIVis full of wonderful cosmetic items you can collect, craft, and equip for your adventures throughout Eorzea. One of the more unique clothing items is the Alpine Coat, a gorgeously detailed set of robes modeled after Lord Edmont de Fortemps’ own fine wardrobe. Unlike other level one clothing items, it is a quest reward fromHeavensward.
FFXIVAlpine Coat quest, explained
The Alpine Coat is a replica version of the outfit that Lord Fortemps wears during theFinal Fantasy XIV: Heavenswardexpansion. It is a level one glamour outfit anyone can wear. The purpose behind it is for players to add it to their glamour chest for easy outfit access and role-playing purposes down the road.
Funnily enough, it doesn’t fall into the same category as most level one cosmetics of being a crafting recipe. Instead, theFFXIVAlpine Coat is only a quest reward in the main story. Players who wish to elevate their outfit and prepare for the harsh Ishgard winters should continue theHeavenswardstoryline.
The quest in question is “Litany of Peace,” a level 60 Main Scenario quest from Patch 3.3. Its prerequisite quest is “Heroes of the Hour.” Completing this story-focused quest will earn the player several rewards, including the Alpine Coat for free. The only cost here is spending a few minutes in some lengthy cutscenes with Aymeric. This quest,along with the rest ofHeavensward, is currently free to allFFXIVplayers.
In addition to this free clothing reward, you’ll also receive the Dragonsong Orchestrion Roll item, for playing the glorious theme song of the expansion at your humble abode. And you’ll receive a Wind-Up Aymeric, letting a miniaturized version of the Ishgardian leader follow you around everywhere.
Where to find the Calamity Salvager
The Alpine Coat might be a free reward, but it is relatively easy for some players to lose, destroy, or sell the clothing item by accident. If that happens to you, there is fortunately a solution for retrieving it, but it’ll cost you. Thankfully, you only have to spend a measly 100 Gil.
All you need to do is visit theCalamity Salvager. This is an NPC trader found in the three starter city-states. Here are his exact locations:
Speak with the Calamity Salvager at any of those locations and you’ll be able to purchase theFFXIVAlpine Coat. Just be sure to put it in yourglamour chestthis time for safe-keeping.
