Summary
Combat
- Because level 100 gear is released over the course of several major patches, players do not necessarily need to slowly increment the item level of their gear if they have recently reached level 100, and can instead jump directly to the highest item level gear that is most accessible.
- [IL 690] Players who recently reached level 99 - 100 should collect Artifact Weapons and Artifact Armor for free. Epochal Accessories drop from three dungeons:
Alexandria, Tender Valley, and The Strayborough Deadwalk, but these do not need to be "farmed" to proceed with further upgrades. - [IL 720] Current uncapped tomestone gear (
Allagan Tomestone of Heliometry): Quetzalli Weapons, Quetzalli Armor, and Quetzalli Accessories
- [IL 730] These can be upgraded to Augmented Quetzalli Weapons, Augmented Quetzalli Armor, and Augmented Quetzalli Accessories.
- [IL 720] Current uncapped alliance raid gear (
Jeuno: The First Walk): Ark Angel's Armor - [IL 725] Current dungeon gear ( The Underkeep): Underkeep Armor and Underkeep Accessories
- [IL 730] Current chaotic alliance raid armor (
The Cloud of Darkness (Chaotic)): Clouddark Armor - [IL 740] Current weekly-capped normal raid gear ( AAC Cruiserweight Tier): Cruiser Armor and Cruiser Accessories
- [IL 740] Current endgame crafted gear: Ceremonial Weapons, Ceremonial Armor, and Ceremonial Accessories. These should always be obtained as
high quality, either by crafting them yourself or purchasing from the Market Board. Unlike normal raid IL 740 gear, these can be pentamelded with materia, giving more substats, although the types of substats may not necessarily be as desirable as those from normal raid gear. - [IL 745] Current extreme trial weapons ( Recollection (Extreme)): Queensknight Weapons
- [IL 750] Current weekly-capped tomestone gear (
Allagan Tomestone of Mathematics): Historia Weapons, Historia Armor, and Historia Accessories
- [IL 760] These can be upgraded to Augmented Historia Weapons, Augmented Historia Armor, and Augmented Historia Accessories using upgrade items dropped from AAC Cruiserweight Tier (Savage).
- [IL 760] These can be upgraded to Augmented Historia Weapons, Augmented Historia Armor, and Augmented Historia Accessories using upgrade items dropped from
- [IL 760/765] Current weekly-capped savage raid gear ( AAC Cruiserweight Tier (Savage)): Babyface Champion's Weapons, Babyface Champion's Armor and Babyface Champion's Accessories.
Best-in-slot gear
- Current "best-in-slot" (BiS) gear comprises a mixture of IL 765 Babyface Champion's Weapons and IL 760 Babyface Champion's/Augmented ??? Armor and Babyface Champion's/Augmented ??? Accessories melded with certain materia.
- This composition varies depending on the job and is intended to maximize desirable substats. Some jobs may have multiple BiS sets with specific Spell Speed or Skill Speed tiers.
- BiS sets for each job are provided by The Balance.
- BiS is not necessary to obtain. BiS primarily allows players to more easily clear existing content.
- Higher item level gear will not be released until patch 7.4.
- Players who are doing
Futures Rewritten (Ultimate) (and to a lesser extent 
The Cloud of Darkness (Chaotic)) are recommended to use IL 730-735 BiS, which will retain materia melds, instead of syncing down higher item level gear. This gear comprises a mixture of IL 735 Dark Horse Champion's Weapons and IL 730 Dark Horse Champion's/Augmented Quetzalli/Clouddark Armor and Dark Horse Champion's/Augmented Quetzalli Accessories melded with certain materia.
Crafting and Gathering
As of patch 7.2, the crafted level 100★★ (green) Everseeker's Tools, Everseeker's Armor, and level 100 Black Star Accessories, with specific melds as recommended by FFXIV Teamcraft for crafting and gathering, are recommended. They are substantially better than the level 100 gear available for orange scrips, which suffers from the inability to pentameld materia. All crafted gear must be high quality to be considered worthwhile.
Future
The following is based on patterns of recent expansions and is subject to change:
- In patch 7.3, there will be new best-in-slot crafted tools, armor, and accessories from Master Recipes XII.
