Summary
Combat
- Because level 90 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 90, and can instead jump directly to the highest item level gear that is most accessible.
- Players who recently reached level 89 - 90 should collect Artifact Weapons and Artifact Armor (both item level 560) for free. The Last Accessories (item level 560) drop from three dungeons: The Dead Ends, Smileton, and The Stigma Dreamscape, but these do not need to be "farmed" to proceed with further upgrades.
- Current uncapped Blue gear ( Allagan Tomestone of Astronomy): Radiant Weapons, Radiant Armor, and Radiant Accessories (item level 590)
- Current Green gear ( Lapis Manalis): Manalis Armor and Manalis Accessories (item level 605)
- Current crafted gear: Rinascita Weapons, Rinascita Armor, and Rinascita Accessories (item level 610). These should always be obtained as high quality.
- These can be exchanged to Augmented Rinascita Weapons, Augmented Rinascita Armor, and Augmented Rinascita Accessories (item level 620) indirectly with Allagan Tomestone of Astronomy
- Current uncapped normal raid gear ( Abyssos): Purgatory Armor and Purgatory Accessories (item level 610)
- Current Relic weapons: Manderville Weapons (item level 615)
- Note: requires the completion of all Hildibrand Quests until The Imperfect Gentleman.
- Current weekly-capped Blue gear ( Allagan Tomestone of Causality): Lunar Envoy's Weapons, Lunar Envoy's Armor, and Lunar Envoy's Accessories (item level 620)
- Current weekly-capped alliance raid gear ( Euphrosyne): Hypostatic Armor (item level 620)
- Current extreme trial weapons ( Mount Ordeals (Extreme)): Flamecloaked Weapons (item level 625)
- Current weekly-capped savage raid gear ( Abyssos (Savage)): Abyssos Weapons (item level 635), Abyssos Armor and Abyssos Accessories (item level 630). Also rewards items to augment Lunar Envoy's gear to item level 630.
- Current "best-in-slot" (BiS) gear comprises a mixture of Abyssos Weapons and Abyssos/Augmented Lunar Envoy's Armor and 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 unless if the player is planning on doing Another Sil'dihn Subterrane (Savage) or the upcoming The Omega Protocol (Ultimate). BiS primarily allows players to more easily clear existing content.
- Higher item level gear will not be released until Patch 6.4.
Crafting and Gathering
- Players who recently reached level 90 can buy high quality Indagator's Tools and Indagator's Gear (item level 620) from the Market Board and meld with materia. This will be the best Crafter and Gatherer gear until patch 7.0.
- Melding guides and crafting rotations are provided by Teamcraft Guides.
- Alternatively, they can farm Purple Scrips (achievable using Lv 80 gear) to buy Perfectionist's Tools and Perfectionist's Armor while crafting or purchasing high quality Integral Accessories (item level 590). Using mostly HQ materials, basic melds, Calamari Ripieni and Commanding Craftsman's Draught, this gear can be used to craft high quality Indagator's equipment following this rotation. This bypasses needing to first invest in melded Pactmaker's Tools and Gear.
- New scrip gear will be added in Patch 6.4 but will be inferior to high quality Indagator's gear due to being unable to perform Advanced Materia Melding.
