FFXIV: How to Do the Umbrella Dance Emote [6.2 Update]

Don’t you just love each and every bit of the Umbrella Dance emote? From the swinging of the umbrella to the graceful turns, this emote is just beautiful in its own right!

The 6.2 patch update has brought quite a few interesting elements into the game. Square Enix has done a great job in bringing new additions to all departments.

With the dungeons and side quests taking the cake in terms of gameplay, the Umbrella Dance has impressed the most when it comes to the fashionable items and mounts.

So, how do you do the Umbrella Dance emote? Let’s take a look below!

How to do the Umbrella Dance Emote?

To be able to do the Umbrella Dance, you first need to have Parasols. Any Parasols of your choice should do.

You probably already have a few parasols if you’ve been playing the game since the last few patch updates. In case you don’t own any parasols, let’s take a look at how to get these parasols in the game.

How to get FFXIV Parasols?

There’s more than one way to get Parasols, but almost all of them need you to purchase them.

Almost all the Parasols can be bought from in-game NPCs, such as Enie, Pixie Hoarder, Ys Gyuf.

For example, you can purchase the Pastoral Dot Parasol from Enie using 1800 Skybuilders’ Scrip.

On the other hand, the Vermilion Paper parasol can be obtained from Tokohana with a price if 100,000 Gil.

There are also some items, like the Classy Checkered Parasol, which can’t be purchased or traded.

You’d need a locksmith to break open the Southern Front Lockbox for this unique umbrella.

Various parasols can also be purchased through MGP and Bojzan Clusters as well as winning certain number of tournament matches.

Lastly, you can always buy any Parasol you like from the Marketboard.

Nevertheless, I’d suggest you to go for buying from NPCs and winning tournaments to obtain your parasols.

Now that you have the Parasols you need, it’s time to do the Umbrella Dance!

Firstly, go to your Fashion Accessories inventory and into the Parasols section. Equip the Parasol of your liking.

Your character should now check for rain and then hold the Umbrella up top in a certain pose.

To do the Umbrella Dance, you need to rotate the hotbar to the pet bar, which is the bar denoted with a “+”.

This should get your character doing the elegant Umbrella Dance right away! You can sing along any song that matches the vibes of the dance emote. It’s quite enjoyable once you get it to work!

Wrapping up

The Umbrella Dance emote won’t provide any advantages during fights or battles; it’s just there for the fun and beauty of it.

The Umbrella Dance emote is one of the more elegant fashionable features in 6.2 update, receiving the appreciative nod from most FFXIV gamers.

So, what are you waiting for? Go on and dance your troubles away!!
