Gear Set Gallery: Aurum Attire of Magic

November 20, 2020.Reading time 5 minutes.

One thing I’ve always wished the dev team would do after each expansion is to go back and change all the gear from the previous expansion from class/job specific to Disciple of War/Disciple of Magic gear, as appropriate. This would do so much for glamour possibilities (and personally make my life so much easier since […]

Gear Set Gallery: Shadowless Attire of Casting

September 28, 2020.Reading time 5 minutes.

I’m closing in on the final stage of completing the Shadowless Attire sets from The Heroes’ Gauntlet, having completed the full set for five of FFXIV‘s seven armor classes. That unfortunately means that, due to the finnicky nature of the great and powerful random number generator, the set galleries for this dungeon are likely to […]

Gear Set Gallery: Anamnesis Attire of Casting

April 13, 2020.Reading time 4 minutes.

We’ve just gotten the potentially last patch of the 5.2 series with 5.25, including the beginning of the new Blades of Gunnhildr quest series, but before I get into first impressions of that new content, I want to get caught up on gear set galleries if I can. And that means it’s time to take […]

Gear Set Gallery: Warg Garb of Casting

November 8, 2019.Reading time 4 minutes.

Patch 5.1’s new dungeon brings with it the first level 80 dungeon set of Shadowbringers, since the original three instead dropped accessories to accompany the expansions new Artifact Armor sets. Gathered only from The Grand Cosmos, the new Warg sets are full of wolf motifs, fur, and leather—making for a strange contrast with the stately […]

Gear Set Gallery: Voeburtite Attire of Casting

October 11, 2019.Reading time 4 minutes.

As with most of the initial dungeon sets in Shadowbringers, the Voeburtite set from Dohn Mheg for casters shares models with the corresponding healing set. The usual pattern holds here, with the casting set taking on a darker color palette than its healing counterpart, and in this case, I’d say that the darker colors largely […]

Gear Set Gallery: Nabaath Attire of Casting

October 7, 2019.Reading time 4 minutes.

The refrain should be familiar by now: the sets from Malikah’s Well largely repurpose old crafting and gathering sets as hastily donned battle gear, and the Casting set from the dungeon is no exception. Like the companion healing set, this one is based on the mid-tier Ala Mhigan crafting set from Stormblood, but with one […]

Gear Set Gallery: The Forgiven’s Attire of Casting

September 23, 2019.Reading time 5 minutes.

Of the original Demon sets from A Realm Reborn‘s World of Darkness raid, the sets for casters and healers always stood out like a sore thumb. Most of the gear from the instance has a sinister or “edgy” vibe, but the two sets for the Disciples of Magic go off those rails with one of […]

Gear Set Gallery: Lakeland Garb of Casting

September 4, 2019.Reading time 5 minutes.

Another set from the Lakeland cycle of gear that hearkens back to Heavensward gear sets, the Lakeland Garb of Casting opens up models formerly only available to various physical classes to casters. Like the Lakeland Aiming gear, this one originated in Saint Mocianne’s Arboretum, available for tanks and Dragoon initially (and was later re-used for […]

Gear Set Gallery: Ravel Keeper’s Attire of Casting

August 30, 2019.Reading time 6 minutes.

The Ravel Keeper’s Attire of Casting from Shadowbringers offers another take on a ceremonial tribal look for the game’s magical DPS classes. Much lighter than other tribal sets (like the Woad Skywicce’s Garb from Sohm Al), the Ravel Keeper’s set has a sort of primal elegance that will probably give it a decent amount of […]
