Avant-Garde is a Dalamud plugin aiming to provide a comprehensive list for all hint categories in the Fashion Report minigame. This plugin is a crowdsourced project, tracking gear pieces based on category and the slot they occupy.

Each week, a unique theme is presented along with hints for specific slots. These hints are not unique to the theme, and may appear across many different weeks. The goal is to reach a minimum of 80 out of 100 points. Points are calculated based on a number of factors:

• You are awarded points for every piece of gear you have equipped, regardless of hint slots or accuracy. As such, the "base" score when being judged is 68.
• For every hint on the right side of equipment (accessories), the base score goes up by 2.
• Getting a gold medal for a hint on the left side of equipment awards 8 points. a hint on the right side awards 6 points.
• For dye requirements, matching the general color of a dye for a slot awards 1 points. matching the exact color (say, Jet Black) awards 2 points.

It's worth noting that dyes are tied to the weekly theme, and thus cannot be predetermined. The plugin only cares about gear, and will not display any information about dyes.

You may contribute to the project by submitting gear pieces that match a certain category. You can fill the Submission Form, or reply to the forum post in the Dalamud discord server @ #plugin-help-forum (Here). Please attach a screenshot of the result screen to speed up the validation process.
