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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

Strangely, gear this light is somewhat rare for Ninja in FFXIV (with heavy coats and armor being oddly common), so […]
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 […]
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 […]
