Artifact armor are job-specific armor sets available at current and former level caps. They are elaborate, iconic sets meant to represent the respective job; a new set per job is released in every expansion. Players will acquire the first set of artifact armor for their job upon reaching level 50 and completing their Job Quests. It is the first set of Blue rarity gear players have access to.
Artifact armor is considered entry-level armor for early endgame content. Because of this, it is relatively easy to obtain, either from job quests and later given free of charge near the end of the Main Scenario Quests of a base expansion. It is quickly outclassed by other gear such as those purchased using Allagan Tomestones, which also have the advantage of being shared between multiple jobs, conserving inventory space. Artifact armor therefore becomes used primarily for glamour once stronger gear is obtained.
Relic rarity weapons and gear are not Artifact Armor even if they share appearances. Relic gear is a completely separate very grind-focused activity for primarily cosmetic rewards, whereas artifact gear is normally given freely to the player and used as as starting point for acquiring Endgame gear.
A Realm Reborn
Players can get the Augmented Artifact Armor after completing the quest Simply to Dye For and then trading crafted upgrade items to Kakalan in Mor Dhona (X:22.3 Y:5.6). Augmented versions of AF armor allow the players to Dye them into different colors, but otherwise have the same stats. The visually matching set of signature weapons are the Relic rarity Zodiac Weapons. There are no Artifact Weapons for A Realm Reborn. This set can be reacquired at a Calamity Salvager, and is the only set storable in the Armoire (but not if Augmented).
Note: Mythology Armor is also on the level 50 Job quest in a coffer as of Patch 4.0 and the release of Stormblood, but this is former tomestone gear and not artifact gear and cannot be made dyable or re-bought at a Calamity Salvager.

Heavensward
In Heavensward, the Artifact Gear was originally purchasable for Allagan Tomestone of Esoterics and made dyable via the normal tomestone gear augmenting process. When Esoterics were retired in Patch 3.4, the entire set was moved to Yolaine in Foundation (X:13.0 Y:11.8) for Centurio Seals. With Patch 4.0 and the release of Stormblood, the armor only was added to the level 60 Job Quests in a coffer. The augmented versions replaced the base versions at all the same places during a quality of life pass in Patch 5.3. As former tome gear, this set can not be reacquired at a Calamity Salvager, but instead must be repurchased from Yolaine.

Shadowbringers
During Shadowbringers, the Artifact Sets are a mandatory part of the MSQ (which required completion of the Shadowbringers Role Quests for at least one role). Once a role is completed, all gear for every job in the role is unlocked at Grenoldt in The Tempest for free. The dyable version of the armor is the IL 480 Idealized Armor set, available via Memoria Misera (Extreme). The IL 430 armor itself is not upgradeable. The IL 430 weapons are dyable and no longer prefixed Weathered as of Patch 6.0 and the release of Endwalker. This set can be reacquired at Grenoldt if discarded.
