Gear Set Gallery: The Forgiven’s Armor of Maiming

October 25, 2019.Reading time 5 minutes.

Last—but certainly not least—of the initial round of Shadowbringers dungeon sets, the Forgiven’s Maiming gear is perhaps my favorite of the Demon reskins from Mt. Gulg. I more or less never played Dragoon during A Realm Reborn, so I never realized how nice the set’s models are overall, and the new Forgiven’s set provide a […]

Gear Set Gallery: The Forgiven’s Attire of Healing

October 18, 2019.Reading time 5 minutes.

For much of FFXIV‘s history, sets for casters and healers have followed a predictable pattern, sharing models more often than not and colors almost set in stone: dark (usually black) for casters and some shade of white for healers. Often, this is even the case when a full gear cycle a dark theme (such as […]

Gear Set Gallery: The Forgiven’s Garb of Striking

I’ve said much of what needs to be said about the Forgiven’s Striking gear already, since it shares models with the Scouting gear that’s also from Mt. Gulg, a set that I covered a few rounds through the dungeons ago. Like that set, this one offers up some light, dyeable armor of the kind that’s […]

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: The Forgiven’s Garb of Scouting

September 10, 2019.Reading time 6 minutes.

Based on the Demon gear from A Realm Reborn‘s World of Darkness raid, the Forgiven’s Scouting set uses a collection of models I’ve always wanted to like but never managed to turn into a glamour. Strangely, gear this light is somewhat rare for Ninja in FFXIV (with heavy coats and armor being oddly common), so […]

Gear Set Gallery: The Forgiven’s Armor of Fending

September 3, 2019.Reading time 5 minutes.

Tank armor is my nemesis in FFXIV, but I have to admit a certain fondness for the Forgiven’s armor set from Shadowbringers. The original Demon Armor from World of Darkness was one of the few pieces of heavy armor I wore back in A Realm Reborn (and I wore the Chromite version from Stormblood for […]

Gear Set Gallery: The Forgiven’s Garb of Aiming

August 12, 2019.Reading time 5 minutes.

Just in case the World of Darkness gear re-colors from Stormblood weren’t enough for your tastes, the final leveling dungeon of Shadowbringers offers another round of them! Each of the Forgiven sets from the dungeon re-uses the sets with a new color scheme (and a subtly different dyeing patterns), and the Forgiven’s Garb of Aiming […]
