Okay, #FFXIV peeps, it's almost Halloween (or All Saints' Wake), and I am in the mood for seeing some seasonal housing builds!

If you play on any NA server/datacenter and have a spooky housing build, drop the address below, and I'll come see it on stream!

So, FFXIV finally added your hairstyle in Patch 7.35. It has underlights. It comes from the new Deep Dungeon, which is of course in Il Mheg.

Fitting that Dea's hair was... Away with the Fae. Need I say more? :>
