I do love cosmetic items in every MMORPG I play. I always try to get as many as possible. This is excluding the style per se of the character. What I’m talking about are the pets (which are known as minions in Final Fantasy XIV), the housing and the stuff that goes in there. Here are some quests you might want to do to get some.

These cosmetic items and housing stuff are what makes the game more pleasing to the eyes, at least for me. Being away from the action (of raiding and dungeons), there is nothing much to do but look at your character and others’ character. So basically minions following characters are really eye catchers! So do these quest everyone!
