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 700] Current uncapped Ctomestone gear ( Allagan Tomestone of Aesthetics): Neo Kingdom Weapons, Neo Kingdom Armor, and Neo Kingdom Accessories
• [IL 710] Current extreme trial weapons ( Worqor Lar Dor (Extreme)): Skyruin Weapons
• [IL 710] Current extreme trial accessories ( Everkeep (Extreme)): Resilient Accessories
• [IL 710] Current weekly-capped normal raid gear ( AAC Light-heavyweight Tier): Light-heavy Armor and Light-heavy Accessories
• [IL 710] Current endgame crafted gear: Archeo Kingdom Weapons, Archeo Kingdom Armor, and Archeo Kingdom Accessories. These should always be obtained as high quality, either by crafting them yourself or purchasing from the Market Board. Unlike other IL 710 gear, these can be pentamelded with materia, giving more substats, although the types of substats may not necessarily be as desirable as those from other IL 710 gear.
• [IL 720] Current weekly-capped Ctomestone 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 using items obtained from  AAC Light-heavyweight M2 (Savage) /  AAC Light-heavyweight M3 (Savage).
• [IL 730/735] Current weekly-capped savage raid gear ( AAC Light-heavyweight Tier (Savage)): Dark Horse Champion's Weapons, Dark Horse Champion's Armor and Dark Horse Champion's Accessories. Also rewards items to augment Quetzalli gear to item level 730.

Best-in-slot gear

• Current "best-in-slot" (BiS) gear comprises a mixture of IL 735 Dark Horse Champion's Weapons and IL 730 Dark Horse Champion's/Augmented Quetzalli 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 the upcoming  Futures Rewritten (Ultimate). BiS primarily allows players to more easily clear existing content.
• Higher item level gear will not be released until patch 7.2.

Crafting and Gathering

As of patch 7.0, the crafted level 100 gear, with specific melds as recommended by The Balance for crafting and gathering, is substantially better than the level 100 gear available for orange scrips, which suffers from bad stats, being job-specific, and lacking accessories.

Future

The following is based on patterns of recent expansions and is subject to change:

• In patch 7.1, there will be new best-in-slot crafted tools and left side armor from Master Recipes XI. However, there will not be any new accessories.
• In patch 7.2, there will be new gear purchasable for Orange Scrips, but will be inferior to melded gear released in patch 7.1.
• In patch 7.3, there will be new best-in-slot crafted tools, armor, and accessories from Master Recipes XII.
