Kaius: Copied the ygrette rock mapping table from the anomaly expert npc page here as this is the main information I am always looking for when I search bg-wiki for "Delve". The rocks are key information for accessing delve and should be available on the top level Delve page.

|Intro Text=Introduced in [[Seekers of Adoulin]], the Delve battle system was once some of the most challenging content that Vana'diel had ever seen. The [[Delve Rewards|primary rewards]] from Delve are still sometimes useful equipment despite updates to the world of Vana'diel. The items are still valuable to returning players as well.

Delve is a tiered battle system that consists of farming pop and entry items to either:
*Spawn and defeat notorious monsters in field battles.
*Defeating normal, notorious monsters, and a mega boss in an instanced area known as a ''Fracture''.
:*Players today for the most part exclusively participate in ''Fracture'' instances.
}}

==Getting Started==
===Eligibility Requirements===

In order to participate in Delve Fractures, players must satisfy the following:
*[[Seekers of Adoulin]] expansion pack installed and registered
*'''3'''-18 alliance members at level 95 or above
*Alliance leader must possess a {{KI}} [[Anomaly Expert|'''Yantric planchette''']] Key Item
**{{KI}} '''Yantric planchette''' Key Item is obtained by trading the corresponding zone's yggrette rock (see table below) to the [[Anomaly Expert]] in Eastern Adoulin. See her page for more details.

*Field battles have no requirement other than access to the areas ([[Seekers of Adoulin]] installed and registered).

=== Progression ===
There are two general progression routes for Delve, depending on how experienced your group is. More information on the various items required is located in the Progression section.
*For a less experienced group, defeating NMs in the field areas until Yggzi Beads are obtained prior to entering a fracture, then utilizing the Yggzi Beads to remove the NMs from the fracture can result in an easier time once inside the fracture since fewer NMs will need to be defeated within the time limit before taking on the boss.
*For a more experienced and better geared group, it is possible to skip directly to the fracture and defeat all five NMs and the boss in one 45 minute run.

=== Delve Areas ===
Field-based delve battles take place in outdoor areas which correspond with the locations of the seven Naakuals. Event-related items involved in each area are distinguished with the color corresponding with the [[element]] of that area's Naakual. Delve Fractures take place in [[Cirdas Caverns (U)]] and [[Yorcia Weald (U)]], and are entered at '''Veils''' located in each field area. All players in the alliance and anywhere in the entry field zone will be taken into the Fracture instance upon entry.

====Cirdas Caverns (U)====
*'''[[Morimar Basalt Fields]]''': ''Alizarin'' - Veil: (I-5) nearest to Bivouac #2.
*'''[[Foret de Hennetiel]]''': ''Zaffre'' - Veil: (E-7) nearest to Bivouac #4, must cross a fallen Reive tree.
*'''[[Ceizak Battlegrounds]]''': ''Celadon'' - Veil: (H-8) nearest to Bivouac #1

====Yorcia Weald (U)====
*'''[[Yorcia Weald]]''': ''Russet'' - Veil: (J-7) Head North from the Frontier Station.
*'''[[Marjami Ravine]]''': ''Phlox'' - Veil: (M-9) Head South from the Frontier Station.
*'''[[Kamihr Drifts]]''': ''Aster'' - Veil: (H-11) Head South from Bivouac #2.

=== Content Level ===
Notorious monsters in [[Delve]] are grouped into three distinct content levels, based on the monster's tier. The content level of notorious monsters is the same both inside and outside of the Fracture areas (bosses only appear within the Fractures).
*[[Content Level]] 11: Tier I, II, and III notorious monsters
*[[Content Level]] 14: Tier IV and V notorious monsters
*[[Content Level]] 20: Fracture bosses

== Progression ==

Each area is considered a separate path and has progression independent from the others consisting of a series of NM battles in the '''Field''' and/or a series of identical NM battles culminating in a boss battle in a section of [[Cirdas Caverns (U)]] or [[Yorcia Weald (U)]] known as a '''Fracture'''. 
There are two levels of combat in Delve: Notorious Monster Combat (which is further divided into two tiers) and Boss Combat. In order to progress to Boss Combat, a group must defeat all five unique notorious monsters inside the a Fracture during a single entry, or use beads obtained from defeating the notorious monsters in the field to remove up to three corresponding monster from the fracture, then defeat the remaining notorious monsters.

Each of the 30 notorious monsters and six bosses has at least one unique characteristic which can (and sometimes must) be exploited resulting in a faster and/or easier win (reference individual NM pages for details). The notorious monsters are divided into two difficulty tiers: NMs I, II, and III make up the lower difficulty tier ([[Content Level]] 11) while NMs IV and V make up the higher difficulty tier ([[Content Level]] 14) in each area. Each area and tier has a corresponding key item which is automatically obtained after defeating any one of the associated NMs and allows the holder to use [[Mweya Plasm]] to purchase any equipment item which the associated NMs can drop.

=== Field NM Combat ===

Field NM Combat is an entirely skippable portion to Delve content which can be utilized by less experienced groups to take on certain NMs in a less hostile environment, and potentially obtain a bead which allows that NM to be skipped inside the Fracture. More experienced groups may skip directly to the Fracture and defeat all five NMs and the boss in one run.

'''Yggrete Shards''' can be used to spawn Notorious Monsters in the field area outside the Fracture. Shards are relatively common and can be obtained by defeating normal monsters or completing [[Reive|Colonization and Lair Reives]] in the corresponding field area. See individual shard pages linked in the table above for more specific information on obtaining. After being spawned, the notorious monster must be defeated within 20 minutes or it will disappear. Please note that you DO receive the key item even if you are dead when the enemy is defeated.

The primary reason for defeating NMs in the field is to obtain their corresponding '''Yggzi Bead''' items specific to each NM. The drop rate of beads is 100%.

By combining a Bead with a Yantric Planchette, that particular monster will be removed from the Fracture area, reducing the number of notorious monsters which need to be defeated. This can be done up to three times for one Fracture attempt, leaving only two remaining notorious monsters to be defeated within the fracture before the boss monster can be attempted.

==== Entering the Fracture ====
Upon defeating any normal monster in the field areas in which Veils are present, players may receive '''Yggrete Rocks''' ({{vdrop}}) which correspond to that location. After a player has met certain requirements (listed below), they can trade Yggrete Rocks to the [[Anomaly Expert]] outside the Celennia Wexworth Memorial Library in [[Eastern Adoulin]] at (G-10) to receive a '''Yantric Planchette''' key item utilized to pass through the Veil corresponding to the traded rock and into a Fracture.

=====[[Cirdas Caverns (U)]]=====
*Players must obtain any one of the following before trading an Alizarin, Celadon, or Zaffre Yggrete Rock for the corresponding Yantric Planchette:
**[[Aged Matriarch Naakual crest]] ([[Colkhab]])
**[[Aged Firebrand Naakual crest]] ([[Achuka]])
**[[Aged Riptide Naakual crest]] ([[Tchakka]])

=====[[Yorcia Weald (U)]]=====
*To trade a Phlox, Aster, or Russet Yggrete Rock for the corresponding planchette, players must obtain any one of the following:
**[[Aged Ligneous Naakual crest]] ([[Yumcax]])
**[[Aged Booming Naakual crest]] ([[Hurkan]])
**[[Aged Flashfrost Naakual crest]] ([[Kumhau]])
*And have defeated '''all''' of the following:
**[[Tojil]]
**[[Dakuwaqa]]
**[[Muyingwa]]

After receiving the Planchette, players can then trade '''Yggzi Beads''' from the corresponding area to enhance the Planchette and remove the Notorious Monsters from which the beads were obtained from the Fracture NM Combat phase (up to three beads may be used per planchette to remove three notorious monsters from the five normally present).

Only the leader of an alliance needs to posses the planchette key item, all other members can enter as long as they fulfill the level requirement (95+). After obtaining the planchette (and adding beads, if desired), Fractures can be entered at the three veil locations. There are no restrictions on re-entry other than obtaining a new planchette.

Note that occasionally upon entering the fracture, a message will be received that states "You hear a subtle mumbling sound." When this occurs, one or more of the notorious monsters in the Fracture will trigger the message "You feel a tense pressure gripping the air..." upon aggression. When this notorious monster is defeated it will yield an extra [[Airlixir +1]] (or an extra [[Airlixir +2]], if it is the zone boss).

==== Fracture Battles ====

After entering a fracture, the group will have 45 minutes to accomplish their goals. The Fracture is composed of three sections which are progressively deeper inside [[Cirdas Caverns (U)]] or [[Yorcia Weald (U)]]. Progression occurs as time elapses or as NMs are removed from the fracture (by defeat or by beads utilized on the Planchette).
* '''First Section:''' NMs I, II, III
* '''Second Section:''' NMs IV, V (Accessible after NMs I, II, and III are gone from the fracture or after 15 minutes have elapsed)
* '''Boss Section:''' Boss monster (Accessible only after all NMs I, II, III, IV, and V are gone from the fracture)

Field NMs and Fracture NMs themselves are identical; however, the drops available are different. Field NMs have a chance to drop Yggzi Beads while Fracture NMs do not; however, obtaining one of the available unique equipment drops is guaranteed from Fracture NMs and a rare occurrence in the field. Airlixirs and associated key items are guaranteed in either case. The NMs inside the fracture are scattered among a large number of normal monsters which respawn on a regular timer:
* Morimar Fracture: [[Fugacious Lizard]], [[Fugacious Eft]], [[Fugacious Bugard]], [[Fugacious Wivre]]
* Foret Fracture: [[Fugacious Crab]], [[Fugacious Kraken]], [[Fugacious Toad]]
* Ceizak Fracture: [[Fugacious Eruca]], [[Fugacious Beetle]], [[Fugacious Diremite]], [[Fugacious Luckybug]]
* Yorcia Fracture:
* Marjami Fracture:
* Kamihr Fracture:

Within each Fracture, every three minutes a zone message will warn players of a unique buffing effect that all monsters in the zone (including NMs) will receive for 30 seconds. These buffing effects will no longer occur once the boss section is opened.
* Morimar Fracture: Significant attack bonus
* Foret Fracture: Ice Spikes effect
* Ceizak Fracture: Significant evasion bonus
* Yorcia Fracture:
* Marjami Fracture:
* Kamihr Fracture:

All monsters defeated in the Fracture yield [[Mweya Plasm]]. NMs and boss monsters have a cumulative multiplier (defeating more than one NM in a Fracture multiplies its normal plasm yield by the number defeated):
* Normal Monsters: 50 plasm each
* NMs I, II, III: 500 plasm each ({{math|times}} multiplier)
* NMs IV, V: 750 plasm each ({{math|times}} multiplier)
* Boss: 10,000 plasm ({{math|times}} multiplier)

====Boss Battles====
Once all notorious monsters within a fracture have been removed either by utilizing Yggzi Beads or defeating them, the boss chamber will become accessible. The boss monsters are more difficult versions of the [[Naakual]]s found in [[Wildskeeper Reive]]s. If the boss is successfully defeated, the Fracture will be completed and the time remaining will be set to five minutes to allow for loot distribution.

== Rewards==

'''''See also: [[Delve Rewards]]'''''

The reward structure in Delve is unique in that all equipment can be obtained in two ways: either a direct drop from notorious monsters/bosses or purchased with '''Mweya Plasm''' which can be collected in various ways as long as a notorious monster which can drop the item has been defeated at least once. Additionally, the primary (non-boss) sets of Delve armor can be diversified and upgraded in stages through a set augmentation system by utilizing [[Airlixir]]s, also obtained through Delve.

===Equipment===
Each individual notorious monster in Delve has two or more assigned equipment drops which will be divided depending on the monster tier. Within a fracture, one equipment drop is guaranteed. Outside the fracture, drops are not guaranteed.
*'''Tier I~III NMs''' Available Drops: 1-2 upgradable armor pieces, 1 accessory
*'''Tier IV/V NMs''' Available Drops: 2-3 upgradable weapons, 1-2 accessories
*'''Boss Monsters''' Available Drops: 2-3 weapons, 2 armor pieces, 2 accessories, 2 synthesis materials

NM armor and weapons are upgraded through mezzotinting and applying [[Airlixir]]s. Boss armor and weapons cannot be upgraded as they are far more powerful and difficult to acquire than the upgradable pieces and are obtained with their full potential unlocked.

See '''[[Delve Rewards]]''' for complete information on obtaining equipment.

===Airlixirs===
There are three varieties of Airlixirs, which have increasingly potent effects on upgrading armor via [[Delve Rewards|Mezzotinting]] towards a higher rank in the armor augmentation process: [[Airlixir]], [[Airlixir +1]], and [[Airlixir +2]].

Upgradable armor and weapons can be "[[Mezzotinting|mezzotinted]]" with Airlixirs by [[Benjamien]] at the [[Inventors' Coalition]].

Airlixirs can be obtained as direct drops from both field and fracture NMs (6-7 NQ or +1 per NM defeated), bosses (3-4 +1 or +2 per boss defeated) and occasionally from normal monsters within fracture (0-1 NQ per monster defeated).

Airlixirs can also be purchased for Mweya Plasm (see below) after any one yggzi key item has been obtained:
*[[File:Airlixir icon.png|23px|link=]] '''[[Airlixir]]''': 500 corpuscles
*[[File:Airlixir +1 icon.png|23px|link=]] '''[[Airlixir +1]]''': 2,500 corpuscles
*[[File:Airlixir +2 icon.png|23px|link=]] '''[[Airlixir +2]]''': 100,000 corpuscles

===Mweya Plasm===
Plasm plays a key role in obtaining [[Delve Rewards]] or forging an [[Ergon Weapon]].

====Acquisition====
Corpuscles of '''Mweya Plasm''' can be obtained in three ways:
*Using '''Yggrete Shard''' or '''Yggzi Bead''' items as an expendable item will instantly reward Mweya Plasm to the player who used it:
**''In Delve I Areas ([[Ceizak Battlegrounds|Ceizak Battlegrounds (Celadon)]], [[Morimar Basalt Fields|Morimar Basalt Fields (Alizarin)]], [[Foret de Hennetiel|Foret de Hennetiel (Zaffre)]]):
***'''Yggrete Shard I/II/III''': 100 corpuscles
***'''Yggrete Shard IV/V''': 150 corpuscles
***'''Yggzi Bead I/II/III''': 1,000 corpuscles
***'''Yggzi Bead IV/V''': 1,500 corpuscles
**''In Delve II Areas ([[Marjami Ravine|Marjami Ravine (Phlox)]], [[Yorcia Weald|Yorcia Weald (Russet)]], [[Kamihr Drifts|Kamihr Drifts (Aster)]]):
***'''Yggrete Shard I/II/III''': 150 corpuscles
***'''Yggrete Shard IV/V''': 200 corpuscles
***'''Yggzi Bead I/II/III''': 1,500 corpuscles
***'''Yggzi Bead IV/V''': 2,000 corpuscles
*Defeating normal monsters inside the Fracture:
**Each defeated monster yields 50 plasm to each player in the alliance.
*Defeating Field and Fracture NMs:
**Notorious monsters yield 500 (I/II/III) or 750 (IV/V) corpuscles of plasm to each player in the alliance at the time of defeat.
**Note that inside the fracture there is a cumulative bonus to defeating more than one NM.
***Plasm obtained from each NM defeated past the first will be multiplied by the number of defeated NMs (x2, x3, x4, or x5).
*Defeating Bosses:
**Bosses yield 10,000 corpuscles of plasm to each player in the alliance, times the NM multiplier bonus (30,000 plasm minimum, 60,000 maximum).

====Exchange====
'''Mweya Plasm''' can be exchanged at the NPC [[Forri-Porri]] near the [[Inventors' Coalition]] in [[Western Adoulin]] (only present if the Emblem edification is installed on the Inventors' Coalition). The items available for exchange will depend on which NMs have been defeated - acquiring key items from defeating the NMs (either in the field or in the Fracture) and bosses unlocks the ability to purchase the equipment they are associated with. Note that ammunition and certain accessories are available only from plasm exchange, not as NM drops.

Dragoon Guide By Kaius

2026-03-25T22:24:32Z

Kaius: /* Engaged Sets */

{{Guide}}

==Introduction==
Dragoon is a heavy-ish DD job capable of producing some of the highest damage output in the game in some situations. The job has a fast-paced playstyle due to the arsenal of low cooldown job abilities it comes equipped with. As a Dragoon you also have a best friend / pet wyvern to accompany you throughout Vana'diel. Your wyvern is what drives your damage output by providing you with 20% attack, 20% defense, 10% Job Ability Haste, 10% Weapon Skill Damage, and 15% Double Attack. It is essential that you understand your [[Wyvern (Dragoon Pet)]] in order to maintain those benefits and be successful as a Dragoon. For the equipment portion of this guide I will focus on end-game ready options. For Odyssey gear this means I will show Rank 25 options in the sets. It's obviously safe to assume R30 is even better, and usually R20 is almost as good (although there are a few places where R20 is noticeably worse than R25 - such as Gleti's Breeches). Furthermore, I will try to explain what you're looking for in a set and provide some alternatives so that you can have the confidence to mix-and-match as needed, or even experiment on your own.

==Support Jobs==
There are four main jobs which can all be a viable support job selection for a Dragoon, depending upon the engagement.

[[File:Wakido Kabuto icon.png|link=]] '''[[Samurai]]'''
*[[Hasso]] - Capped equipment haste (25%), capped magic haste (43.75%), and 10% job ability haste from the wyvern puts you at 78.75% haste. Hasso provides an additional 10% job ability haste, pushing us over the 80% total cap (88.75%). That last 1.25% may seem insignificant but it ends up being a big deal because of the nature of haste - "As delay goes 0, dps goes to infinity". Additionally, there may be times where you want to use a gear set with less than 25% haste - Hasso will allow you the flexibility to do so by making up the difference with extra job ability haste - specifically you can shed 8.75% equipment haste (keeping 16.25%) if you maintain magic haste cap, Hasso, and wyvern.

*[[Store TP]] - Grants Store TP III which yields +20 STP
*[[Zanshin]] - Grants Zanshin III which provides 35% chance to attack again immediately after missing a target.
*[[Sekkanoki]] - Limits TP cost of next weapon skill to 1000.
*[[Warding Circle]] - Makes you and your party do 5% more damage to, and take 5% less damage from demons.

The primary benefit of /SAM is an increased rate of TP generation via the additional haste received from Hasso, and the additional 20 Store TP. Faster TP leads to more frequent weapon skills and more damage. Importantly, Hasso can be maintained with 100% uptime. This makes it ideal for situations where your damage output needs are constant over a long period - such as Odyssey C where you are basically constantly engaged for 30 minutes.

[[File:Ignominy Burgeonet icon.png|link=]] '''[[Dark Knight]]'''
*[[Last Resort]] - A 3 minute duration, 5 minute cooldown buff that gives 25% attack and 15% job ability haste buffs - at the cost of a 25% defense down penalty on yourself.
*[[Weapon Bash]] - On demand stun
*[[Souleater]] - Some additional auto-attack damage at the cost of self-inflicted damage.
*[[Arcane Circle]] - Makes you and your party do 5% more damage to, and take 5% less damage from arcana.

The primary benefit of /DRK is Last Resort which also closes the final 1.25% haste gap, while also providing a huge attack boost. However, it is important to note that Last Resort will not have 100% uptime, and you do not have the additional store tp provided by /SAM. The nature of Last Resort lends itself to situations where you may engage a target in combat for 1-3 minutes and then have a long period without combat before engaging in another battle. (read: Sortie bosses). In this case, Last Resort is always up when you need it and it's cooling down while you run between fights.

[[File:Pummeler's Mask icon.png|link=]] '''[[Warrior]]'''
*[[Fencer]] - +200-300 TP bonus makes Savage Blade (and Judgment) shine.
*[[Double Attack]] - Grants Double Attack II which yields +10% double attack.
*[[Berserk]] - 25% increased attack with 60% uptime.
*[[Aggressor]] - A boost of 25 accuracy, also with 60% uptime. Hopefully not needed, but nice when it is.
*[[Warcry]] - A percentage based attack boost for the whole party with 30 second duration. Always welcome buff.
*[[Provoke]] - A little enmity utility for emergencies.

The War support job's most important contribution is Fencer. (Fencer I until master level 45, then Fencer II). Fencer provides either +200 or +300 TP bonus and either +3% or +5% crit when single wielding. For better or worse, a Dragoon wielding a [[Naegling]] is a force to be reckoned with, and Fencer amplifies this effect. The additional attack provided by Berserk and Warcry are always welcome as well. When properly geared and executed /WAR is exceptionally powerful in Odyssey C as TP can be generated very quickly via jumps, and a single [[Savage Blade]] from a DRG/WAR will kill a fodder mob on any floor. Even outside of Odyssey there are certain fights where a Savage Blade only strategy is called for, and DRG/WAR will be very powerful in those situations.

[[File:Maxixi Tiara icon.png|link=]] '''[[Dancer]]'''
*[[Dual Wield]] II - The main attraction here - access to an offhand weapon for Dragoon - typically only used if you have access to a [[Kraken Club]].
*[[Box Step]] - Can add a little bit of defense down if no one else is there to apply the same class of debuff for you. More likely you will be killing too quick to need it (eg seg run), or someone else will be applying defense down.
*[[Curing Waltz III]] - Some very solid utility. At the rate you generate tp as /DNC with a [[Kraken Club]] you can easily afford to use some TP for emergency curing.
*[[Healing Waltz]] - Always handy to be able to erase yourself when the healer is occupied, there isn't a healer, and/or you want to save yourself 20,000 gil using a panacea.
*[[Chocobo Jig]] - Who doesn't love running a little faster?
*[[Subtle Blow II]] - Nice little bonus when you are smacking things with your [[Kraken Club]]

The Dancer support job is used primarily by owners of the infamous [[Kraken Club]] with the goal of firing off [[Savage Blade]] as rapidly as possible. You may wonder about the /NIN option, especially if you have experience with other jobs where /NIN is commonly used for Dual Wield. For those other jobs, one of the main benefits of /NIN is access to [[Dual Wield]] III compared to /DNC's [[Dual Wield]] II. Jobs like Red Mage and Bard need the extra 10% delay reduction from /NIN to get to a place where they need only 11% Dual Wield on gear to achieve the delay reduction cap of 80%. Dragoon, however, comes with 10% Job Ability haste by virtue of it's [[Wyvern (Dragoon Pet)]] which more than makes up for the difference in Dual Wield. Here are two full calculations showing how Dragoon achieves the 80% delay reduction limit with /DNC, assuming maximum magic haste, and gear haste of of 25% or 23%.

*25% Gear Haste => '''(1 - 0.15 Dual Wield) × (1024 - 256 Equipment Haste - 448 Magic Haste - 101 Job Ability Haste) ÷ 1024 = 0.1817 [18.2% Delay remaining === 81.8% Delay reduction]'''
*23% Gear Haste => '''(1 - 0.15 Dual Wield) × (1024 - 235 Equipment Haste - 448 Magic Haste - 101 Job Ability Haste) ÷ 1024 = 0.1992 [19.9% Delay remaining === 80.1% Delay reduction]'''

Accordingly, you only need 23% gear haste and ZERO +Dual Wield on gear to achieve maximum attack speed. In fact, adding dual wield would actually lower your TP gained per swing. For the same reason, /NIN will actually reduce your TP rate compared to /DNC, and should only be used if for some reason you have a critical need to be a dual wielding [[Dragoon]] with [[Utsusemi: Ni]].

[[File:Rhongomiant (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Rhongomiant (Level 119 III)]]''' A strong option for low-buff situations when you can really take advantage of [[Camlann's Torment]] defense ignoring properties.

[[File:Ryunohige (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Ryunohige (Level 119 III)]]''' Considered to be a high quality option (at or better than Trishula) when sufficiently geared and spamming [[Drakesbane]] in a fully buffed zerg situation.

[[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] '''[[Trishula]]''' The bread-and-butter option. Relatively easy to obtain with very high damage potential. Works well either in a party/raid zerg situation or solo self-skillchaining.

[[File:Gae Buide (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gae Buide (Level 119 III)]]''' The top tier option, but it comes with a very large barrier to entry. If this is your chosen Prime and you do do enough Sortie to support the grind to stage 4 and beyond, then you will be rewarded with an incredible polearm.

[[File:Shining One icon.png|link=]] '''[[Shining One]]''' Even easier to obtain than Trishula and can be very competitive with the REMAP options. Damage from [[Impulse Drive]] scales well with WSD and crit.

[[File:Aram icon.png|link=]] '''[[Aram]]''' If you find yourself needing a full subtle blow kit on Dragoon then Path B will be the way to go. It simply won't compete with the other polearms on damage, however.

[[File:Naegling icon.png|link=]] '''[[Naegling]]''' Love it or hate it, it's likely here to stay. Dragoon's tp generation and weapon skill damage potential are a lethal combination with a Naegling equipped. Really shines in segment runs where your main goal is kill each target in a single weapon skill. Dragoon does only come with a C- Sword rating so accuracy may be a concern, especially at low to medium master levels. Also always useful for those fights where everyone is using Savage Blade in order to avoid skillchaining.

[[File:Mafic Cudgel icon.png|link=]] '''[[Mafic Cudgel]]''' The only club option. Use it to slap skeletons in Odyssey C.

==Job-Specific Armor==

Note: The augments on Relic pieces, and some special attributes (eg Ancient Circle +1) are available at the base 119 version of the item. If the piece is only used for this purpose, then you do not need to fully upgrade the item to +3 to gain those effects. The recommendations in "Upgrade?" box refer to my personal opinion on whether the item should go all the way to +3.

Limbus update: The items now shown at +4 are the ones I would take to +4 or consider taking to +4.

==Engaged Sets==

The goal of any engaged or "TP" set on Dragoon is to generate TP as quickly as possible '''(while not dying - and not letting your wyvern die!)''' in order to reach 1000 TP and be able to perform a weapon skill. The most important thing you can do as a damage dealer is stay alive - and so having the proper amount of defensive stats in your engaged set is paramount. Besides staying alive, the next two most important aspects to any engaged set are accuracy and haste. Much like your defensive needs, your accuracy needs will vary widely depending on exactly what you are fighting. In my opinion most (if not all) accuracy issues should try to remedied by 1. Higher master levels 2. Using the appropriate buffs and/or debuffs (BRD/GEO/COR/RDM) 3. Food. Note that any additional accuracy beyond the amount needed to reach the 95% cap is wasted.

Haste is the other critical component of a TP set, and you always want to come as close to the overall delay-reduction cap of 80% as possible, regardless of the encounter. Dragoon is in a unique position when it comes to haste due to the effects granted by the [[Wyvern (Dragoon Pet)]] - specifically 10% Job Ability (JA) Haste - and the ability to still obtain additional JA Haste via a support job (either [[Hasso]] or [[Last Resort]]). Most commonly, you will likely be /SAM, and have [[Hasso]] with 100% uptime providing an additional 10% JA haste - this means that you need only 17% gear haste to reach the overall 80% delay reduction with full magic haste. With /DRK and [[Last Resort]] giving 15% JA haste, the amount needed on gear falls even lower (but only during Last Resort). With all of that said, the sets provided in this guide (other than /DNC) still prioritize reaching the 25% gear haste cap for the simple reason that support jobs are not available in one of the two main components of end-game content - Odyssey Sheol Gaol.

Once you have achieved the necessary levels of gear haste for your support job and enough accuracy to reach the cap, you can begin looking to maximize your Store TP and Multi-Hit (double/triple/quad attack).

==Weapon Skill Sets==
Weapon skill sets (except Diarmuid and Leg Sweep) are borrowed from the "[https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/57175/all-jobs-damage-simulator-and-gear-sets All Jobs Damage Simulator and Gear Sets]" created by Izanami. These sets are generated by his python simulator and have proven quite reliable and accurate in my experience. It is worth noting that some sets here include the [[Rigorous Grip +1]], however since you can't switch grips when using a weapon skill I would suggest that [[Utu Grip]] is the default full time option on meaningful content. The 30 accuracy and 70 hp is likely more valuable than a small weapon skill damage increase, unless you are 100% certain you are accuracy capped. Like all things FFXI, you can and should adapt the situation at hand and the gear at your disposal. (Including fitting in your chosen TVR Ring, and slotting in your [[Pel. Earring +2]] -- if you are so lucky)

Note: Use the 'Expand' link at the bottom of each section for more information about the sets.

==Job Ability Sets==

A quick note on these sets - it is possible to min/max some of these even further by including extremely niche pieces which will provide only negligibly increased utility. At this point in the game, I find myself weighing the benefits of an item against the inventory space needed to hold on to it. As such I choose not include things like "Acro" gear in the breath sets. Besides the inventory space, it is possible to be hit while activating a job ability or other breath, and I would argue that maintaining proper DT levels/MEVA throughout these sets is more important than eeking out a few dozen dps, or getting an extra 50 hp on your Steady Wing. Of course feel free to customize as needed. Check out [[User:Tatang|Tatang's page]] for even more comprehensive sets.

==Starter Gear==

Rather than try to create specific sets of gear for various levels of progression, I think it will be more beneficial to provide optimal sets to work toward paired with explanations of what to look for in each set - the "why" behind the set - and then let each player mix and match from their own gear to create gear sets that work for their current level of progression. Here I will try to show items for each slot which may be of use to up and coming Dragoons working toward the sets shown above.

One thing to note - I would urge any new player, or anyone looking to gear a Dragoon from zero to prioritize [[Sortie]] as much as possible. Getting 50,000 Gallimaufry and obtaining 5/5 Empyrean +2 will do more for you than almost anything else. The base stats (str/dex/meva/mdef/attack/acc) on all these items is very high compared to anything else you can reasonably obtain quickly. Even if you end up choosing to use some pieces where other (more geared) players may not (for example using [[Pelt. Cuissots +3]] in your TP set) you will likely be in great shape to while you continue building up your collection of other items.

==Skillchains==

Here are some common self skillchain sequences a Dragoon can execute. [[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] denotates the need of Trishula to continue the Skillchain.

*[[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] Stardiver → [[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] Stardiver = {{color|dark|Darkness}}
*Stardiver → Sonic Thrust = {{color|ice|Distor}}{{color|water|tion}} → Stardiver = '''Darkness''' → [[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] Stardiver = {{color|dark|Umbra}}
*Penta Thrust → Stardiver = {{color|light|Transfixion}} → Sonic Thrust = {{color|ice|Distor}}{{color|water|tion}} → Stardiver = {{color|dark|Darkness}} → [[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] Stardiver = {{color|dark|Umbra}}
*Stardiver → Camlann's Torment = {{color|lightning|Fragmen}}{{color|wind|tation}} → Drakesbane = {{color|light|Light}} → Camlann's Torment = {{color|light|Light}} ([[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] creates {{color|light|Radiance}} instead of double light)
*Stardiver → Sonic Thrust = {{color|ice|Distor}}{{color|water|tion}} → Drakesbane = {{color|fire|Fus}}{{color|light|ion}} → Stardiver = {{color|dark|Gravi}}{{color|earth|tation}} → Camlann's Torment = {{color|lightning|Fragmen}}{{color|wind|tation}} → Drakesbane = {{color|light|Light}} → Camlann's Torment = {{color|light|Light}}

Thief Guide By Kaius

2025-08-17T14:14:24Z

Kaius: /* TP Sets */

{{Guide}}

[[File:KaiusTaruThief.png|frameless|right]]

==Introduction==

First, note that this guide is one-person's opinion. It is my strongest belief that there is no one-size fits all "best (tp/ws/whatever) set" in FFXI. Each encounter is unique, party compositions differ, playstyles differ. Use this guide as a starting point and apply your own critical thinking to tailor things to suite YOU! Now onto THIEF...

Thief is a versatile DD job capable of producing extremely high burst damage and bringing enmity control abilities, party wide accuracy boosts, and the much renowned treasure hunter for increased item drop rate. For the equipment portion of this guide I will focus on end-game ready options. A section with more starter-friendly alternatives will be added soon.

==Treasure Hunter==

* It caps at 8
* You get 3 from job traits
* 8 - 3 = 5
* [[Skulk. Poulaines +3]] have 5
* The end

==Support Jobs==

There's really two viable support jobs for group play today: Warrior and Dragoon. If you are not attack capped, then warrior is going to be very strong by virtue of bringing berserk and offering you a substantial attack gain. Alternatively, and hopefully more commonly, you will be getting to play in a high-buff situation, in which case /DRG and the accompanying WSD traits will be the way to go.

If you are looking to solo, perhaps farming something using your TH, then /DNC can be nice for the self-healing capabilities and of course Spectral Jig for free,easy, and instant sneak/invis.

|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| 1
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| Invest a point to add this to your tool kit, not worth the additional points for increased quad chance.
|-
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| [[Feint]]
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| Your next attack will greatly reduce an enemy's evasion. Recast: 2min. Increase chance of [[Treasure Hunter]] level up by 25 percent.
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| 4
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| Really nice boost in accuracy for you and an entire alliance as it works by reducing enemy evasion. Note that the primary reason to go up to 4 is the synergy with [[Plun. Culottes +3]] for increased potency.
|-
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| [[Aura Steal]]
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| Adds a Dispel effect to [[Steal]]. Occasionally absorbs dispelled effect. Increase absorb rate by 20 percent.

|-

|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| Grants an accuracy bonus to melee and ranged attacks from behind an enemy. Increase accuracy bonus by 3.
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| 5
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| Accuracy is a very important stat (until capped). No reason not to have this if you are fighting non-trivial content.

==Weapons==
[[File:Mandau (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[ Mandau (Level 119 III)]]''' Widely considered obsolete and not worth investing in for Thief. Could be fun to lockstyle a golden aura.

[[File:Twashtar (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Twashtar (Level 119 III)]]''' The top-tier main-hand outside of a stage 4+ prime. Unlocks the full potential of [[Rudra's Storm]], especially when used with a [[Centovente]] for the massive TP bonus. Highly effective whether you are solo skillchaining with Evis->Rudra->Rudra, or fully buffed simply spamming Rudras.

[[File:Vajra (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Vajra (Level 119 III)]]''' An interesting weapon that still fills some niche applications nicely. At rank 15, Mandalic Stab becomes a decent weapon skill, especially in lower buff situations. The unique weapon skill properties also enable Fusion/Light based skillchains. The mythic aftermath, paired with the proper gear) will allow you to generate TP quite quickly, making this a great choice if you have a need to execute a long, many step skillchain sequence (eg Omen objective). There are certainly many mythic weapons which are more important for their respective jobs than Vajra is for Thief, however.

[[File:Aeneas icon.png|link=]] '''[[Aeneas]]''' If you can easily get an Aeonic clear and don't want to spend the time and/or gil on the Twashtar, this is a decent option for the same playstyle. It comes with a nifty 500 TP bonus in the main-hand, and with the Store TP bonus will yield rapid fire weapon skills and skillchains. As an Aeonic, it of course also allows ultimate skillchains.

[[File:Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III)]]''' A top tier option, but it comes with a very large (3,500,000+ gallimaufry) barrier to entry. If this is your chosen Prime and you do do enough Sortie to support the grind to stage 4 and beyond, then you will be rewarded with an incredible dagger.

[[File:Gleti's Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gleti's Knife]]''' A very potent off-hand, especially at high ranks. Sports an incredible array of useful stats including very high attack, triple attack, subtle blow II, and even 2% haste. With the lack of haste on the [[Reiki Yotai]] this 2% haste is actually quite useful in reaching the gear haste cap on many TP sets. Even with all of those benefits, it is often hard for me to justify using this weapon over the powerful [[Centovente]] -- unless the accuracy demands of the fight require it.

[[File:Crepuscular Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Crepuscular Knife]]''' A hard to obtain, potentially fun toy to play with, but it is hard to find the use-case for this when comparing it to other off-hand options such as [[Centovente]] and [[Gleti's Knife]].

[[File:Centovente icon.png|link=]] '''[[Centovente]]''' The 1000 TP Bonus, when paired with a Twashtar or Mpu and all of the powerful post Odyssey/Sortie gear make this an absolute monster. The default off-hand option unless the non-item level accuracy becomes a hinderance to gaining TP.

[[File:Tauret icon.png|link=]] '''[[Tauret]]''' Far easier to obtain than the REMAP options, and packs a significant punch. Obviously, [[Evisceration]] becomes your primary weapon skill - and with the proper (crit-focused) gear it can really shine in low-buff situations.

[[File:Gandring icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gandring]]''' This (Path C) is an investment in fun, pure and simple. Being able to pull a pack (or more) of Omen fodder, and watch them all swing and miss you while giving you massive TP for [[Aeolian Edge]] is pure joy. Not really useful for single target dps, not really useful for TH - but it's a blast to use in the right situations.

[[File:Naegling icon.png|link=]] '''[[Naegling]]''' Use it if you find a need for slashing damage, or need something other than piercing.

[[File:Karambit icon.png|link=]] '''[[Karambit]]''' Use it if, for some reason, you are fighting something that only takes blunt damage while on thief!

==TP Sets==
There are really so many variations of TP sets that one can come up with on thief, especially now with the recently released artifact and relic +4, as well as the Cloud of Darkness HTMB with the "null" accessories. There are a few important things to keep in mind when building your sets.

#You want to be gear haste capped. Always make sure you are getting your maximum haste. When trying to build a set on thief, especially one with 50% DT or close, it is pretty easy to come up 1% short on haste. Complicating this is the fact that Gleti's Knife comes with haste, while Centovente does not, so your needs change based on weapon selection. I personally believe you should be using Centovente 99% of the time and making up any accuracy needs with the appropriate buffs.
#You need 6 Dual Wield when haste capped.
#DT (and meva) matters more than trying to eek out a 0.5% marginal increase in your damage. There are two types of encounters in FFXI today - one where you have a relatively high risk of dying (in which case you DEFINITELY want 50% DT and max Meva etc) and one where you so totally overpower the content that your extra 0.5%,1% or 2% damage is completely irrelevant. (Do you really care if the fight takes 30 seconds instead of 31 seconds?)

What I present here should be used a starting point for customizing your set to your specific needs. Besides the items seen in the sets, other items to consider when building your sets include:

*[[File:Null Loop icon.png|link=]] '''[[Null Loop]]'''
*[[File:Skulk. Culottes +3 icon.png|link=]] '''[[Skulker's Culottes +3]]'''
*[[File:Pill. Culottes +4 icon.png|link=]] '''[[Pillager's Culottes +4]]'''
*[[File:Gleti's Gauntlets icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gleti's Gauntlets]]'''
*[[File:Dedition Earring icon.png|link=]] '''[[Dedition Earring]]'''

==WS Sets==

Sets based on the "[https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/57175/all-jobs-damage-simulator-and-gear-sets All Jobs Damage Simulator and Gear Sets]" by Izanami. Some may have been modified slightly based on my own experience. Also, always remember there is generally no single best set for all situations (or even 2 best sets (standard / high attack). Every fight is unique.

Gleti stats shown are Rank 30.
Nyame stats shown are Rank 25.

|Intro Text=This page hosts all the job guides you may need! This includes any relevant guides around the web, including the guides on FFXIAH.

Feel free to contribute your own or to any community guide.

The idea behind any repeat job guides as collaborative guides is that many times over the years authors have quit their guides, and left them to rot.
*Several versions of the same concept have occurred this way on AH.com for example.
Collaborative guides also allow multiple authors to collaborate, work together, and build off of others ideas.

<center>'''General Guide Practice'''</center>
*Please tag any Job guides with a <nowiki>{{Guide}} or {{Collaborative Guide}}</nowiki> tag in the header.

*Please reference the '''[[BGWiki:Formatting]]''' page for any assistance in general formatting. Don't be afraid to recycle formatting and ideas from other pages and guides on the wiki.
*Please ask for help if it is needed and collaborate through methods such as the BGWiki [https://www.bluegartr.com/threads/129239-BG-Wiki-Collaborative-Guides Community Guides thread] or the [https://www.bluegartr.com/discord '''BG Discord'''] in the wiki channel.

Thief Guide By Kaius

2025-08-12T17:35:54Z

Kaius: /* Weapons */

{{Guide}}

[[File:KaiusTaruThief.png|frameless|right]]

==Introduction==

First, note that this guide is one-person's opinion. It is my strongest belief that there is no one-size fits all "best (tp/ws/whatever) set" in FFXI. Each encounter is unique, party compositions differ, playstyles differ. Use this guide as a starting point and apply your own critical thinking to tailor things to suite YOU! Now onto THIEF...

Thief is a versatile DD job capable of producing extremely high burst damage and bringing enmity control abilities, party wide accuracy boosts, and the much renowned treasure hunter for increased item drop rate. For the equipment portion of this guide I will focus on end-game ready options. A section with more starter-friendly alternatives will be added soon.

==Treasure Hunter==

* It caps at 8
* You get 3 from job traits
* 8 - 3 = 5
* [[Skulk. Poulaines +3]] have 5
* The end

==Support Jobs==

There's really two viable support jobs for group play today: Warrior and Dragoon. If you are not attack capped, then warrior is going to be very strong by virtue of bringing berserk and offering you a substantial attack gain. Alternatively, and hopefully more commonly, you will be getting to play in a high-buff situation, in which case /DRG and the accompanying WSD traits will be the way to go.

If you are looking to solo, perhaps farming something using your TH, then /DNC can be nice for the self-healing capabilities and of course Spectral Jig for free,easy, and instant sneak/invis.

==Weapons==
[[File:Mandau (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[ Mandau (Level 119 III)]]''' Widely considered obsolete and not worth investing in for Thief. Could be fun to lockstyle a golden aura.

[[File:Twashtar (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Twashtar (Level 119 III)]]''' The top-tier main-hand outside of a stage 4+ prime. Unlocks the full potential of [[Rudra's Storm]], especially when used with a [[Centovente]] for the massive TP bonus. Highly effective whether you are solo skillchaining with Evis->Rudra->Rudra, or fully buffed simply spamming Rudras.

[[File:Vajra (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Vajra (Level 119 III)]]''' An interesting weapon that still fills some niche applications nicely. At rank 15, Mandalic Stab becomes a decent weapon skill, especially in lower buff situations. The unique weapon skill properties also enable Fusion/Light based skillchains. The mythic aftermath, paired with the proper gear) will allow you to generate TP quite quickly, making this a great choice if you have a need to execute a long, many step skillchain sequence (eg Omen objective). There are certainly many mythic weapons which are more important for their respective jobs than Vajra is for Thief, however.

[[File:Aeneas icon.png|link=]] '''[[Aeneas]]''' If you can easily get an Aeonic clear and don't want to spend the time and/or gil on the Twashtar, this is a decent option for the same playstyle. It comes with a nifty 500 TP bonus in the main-hand, and with the Store TP bonus will yield rapid fire weapon skills and skillchains. As an Aeonic, it of course also allows ultimate skillchains.

[[File:Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III)]]''' A top tier option, but it comes with a very large (3,500,000+ gallimaufry) barrier to entry. If this is your chosen Prime and you do do enough Sortie to support the grind to stage 4 and beyond, then you will be rewarded with an incredible dagger.

[[File:Gleti's Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gleti's Knife]]''' A very potent off-hand, especially at high ranks. Sports an incredible array of useful stats including very high attack, triple attack, subtle blow II, and even 2% haste. With the lack of haste on the [[Reiki Yotai]] this 2% haste is actually quite useful in reaching the gear haste cap on many TP sets. Even with all of those benefits, it is often hard for me to justify using this weapon over the powerful [[Centovente]] -- unless the accuracy demands of the fight require it.

[[File:Crepuscular Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Crepuscular Knife]]''' A hard to obtain, potentially fun toy to play with, but it is hard to find the use-case for this when comparing it to other off-hand options such as [[Centovente]] and [[Gleti's Knife]].

[[File:Centovente icon.png|link=]] '''[[Centovente]]''' The 1000 TP Bonus, when paired with a Twashtar or Mpu and all of the powerful post Odyssey/Sortie gear make this an absolute monster. The default off-hand option unless the non-item level accuracy becomes a hinderance to gaining TP.

[[File:Tauret icon.png|link=]] '''[[Tauret]]''' Far easier to obtain than the REMAP options, and packs a significant punch. Obviously, [[Evisceration]] becomes your primary weapon skill - and with the proper (crit-focused) gear it can really shine in low-buff situations.

[[File:Gandring icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gandring]]''' This (Path C) is an investment in fun, pure and simple. Being able to pull a pack (or more) of Omen fodder, and watch them all swing and miss you while giving you massive TP for [[Aeolian Edge]] is pure joy. Not really useful for single target dps, not really useful for TH - but it's a blast to use in the right situations.

[[File:Naegling icon.png|link=]] '''[[Naegling]]''' Use it if you find a need for slashing damage, or need something other than piercing.

[[File:Karambit icon.png|link=]] '''[[Karambit]]''' Use it if, for some reason, you are fighting something that only takes blunt damage while on thief!

==TP Sets==
There are really so many variations of TP sets that one can come up with on thief, especially now with the recently released artifact and relic +4, as well as the Cloud of Darkness HTMB with the "null" accessories. There are a few important things to keep in mind when building your sets.

#You want to be gear haste capped. Always make sure you are getting your maximum haste. When trying to build a set on thief, especially one with 50% DT or close, it is pretty easy to come up 1% short on haste. Complicating this is the fact that Gleti's Knife comes with haste, while Centovente does not, so your needs change based on weapon selection. I personally believe you should be using Centovente 99% of the time and making up any accuracy needs with the appropriate buffs.
#You need 6 Dual Wield when haste capped.
#DT (and meva) matters more than trying to eek out a 0.5% marginal increase in your damage. There are two types of encounters in FFXI today - one where you have a relatively high risk of dying (in which case you DEFINITELY want 50% DT and max Meva etc) and one where you so totally overpower the content that your extra 0.5%,1% or 2% damage is completely irrelevant. (Do you really care if the fight takes 30 seconds instead of 31 seconds?)

What I present here should be used a starting point for customizing your set to your specific needs. Besides the items seen here, other items to consider when building your sets include:

*[[File:Null Loop icon.png|link=]] '''[[Null Loop]]'''
*[[File:Skulk. Culottes +3 icon.png|link=]] '''[[Skulker's Culottes +3]]'''
*[[File:Pill. Culottes +4 icon.png|link=]] '''[[Pillager's Culottes +4]]'''

==WS Sets==

Sets based on the "[https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/57175/all-jobs-damage-simulator-and-gear-sets All Jobs Damage Simulator and Gear Sets]" by Izanami. Some may have been modified slightly based on my own experience. Also, always remember there is generally no single best set for all situations (or even 2 best sets (standard / high attack). Every fight is unique.

Gleti stats shown are Rank 30.
Nyame stats shown are Rank 25.

Thief Guide By Kaius

2025-08-12T17:35:11Z

Kaius: /* Introduction */

{{Guide}}

[[File:KaiusTaruThief.png|frameless|right]]

==Introduction==

First, note that this guide is one-person's opinion. It is my strongest belief that there is no one-size fits all "best (tp/ws/whatever) set" in FFXI. Each encounter is unique, party compositions differ, playstyles differ. Use this guide as a starting point and apply your own critical thinking to tailor things to suite YOU! Now onto THIEF...

Thief is a versatile DD job capable of producing extremely high burst damage and bringing enmity control abilities, party wide accuracy boosts, and the much renowned treasure hunter for increased item drop rate. For the equipment portion of this guide I will focus on end-game ready options. A section with more starter-friendly alternatives will be added soon.

==Treasure Hunter==

* It caps at 8
* You get 3 from job traits
* 8 - 3 = 5
* [[Skulk. Poulaines +3]] have 5
* The end

==Support Jobs==

There's really two viable support jobs for group play today: Warrior and Dragoon. If you are not attack capped, then warrior is going to be very strong by virtue of bringing berserk and offering you a substantial attack gain. Alternatively, and hopefully more commonly, you will be getting to play in a high-buff situation, in which case /DRG and the accompanying WSD traits will be the way to go.

If you are looking to solo, perhaps farming something using your TH, then /DNC can be nice for the self-healing capabilities and of course Spectral Jig for free,easy, and instant sneak/invis.

==Weapons==
[[File:Mandau (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[ Mandau (Level 119 III)]]''' Widely considered obsolete and not worth investing in for Thief. Could be fun to lockstyle a golden aura.

[[File:Twashtar (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Twashtar (Level 119 III)]]''' The top-tier main-hand outside of a stage 4+ prime. Unlocks the full potential of [[Rudra's Storm]], especially when used with a [[Centovente]] for the massive TP bonus. Highly effective whether you are solo skillchaining with Evis->Rudra->Rudra, or fully buffed simply spamming Rudras.

[[File:Vajra (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Vajra (Level 119 III)]]''' An interesting weapon that still fills some niche applications nicely. At rank 15, Mandalic Stab becomes a decent weapon skill, especially in lower buff situations. The unique weapon skill properties also enable Fusion/Light based skillchains. The mythic aftermath, paired with the proper gear) will allow you to generate TP quite quickly, making this a great choice if you have a need to execute a long, many step skillchain sequence (eg Omen objective). There are certainly many mythic weapons which are more important for their respective jobs than Vajra is for Thief, however.

[[File:Aeneas icon.png|link=]] '''[[Aeneas]]''' If you can easily get an Aeonic clear and don't want to spend the time and/or gil on the Twashtar, this is a decent option for the same playstyle. It comes with a nifty 500 TP bonus in the main-hand, and with the Store TP bonus will yield rapid fire weapon skills and skillchains. As an Aeonic, it of course also allows ultimate skillchains.

[[File:Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III)]]''' A top tier option, but it comes with a very large (3,500,000+ gallimaufry) barrier to entry. If this is your chosen Prime and you do do enough Sortie to support the grind to stage 4 and beyond, then you will be rewarded with an incredible dagger.

[[File:Gleti's Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gleti's Knife]]''' A very potent off-hand, especially at high ranks. Sports an incredible array of useful stats including very high attack, triple attack, subtle blow II, and even 2% haste. With the lack of haste on the [[Reiki Yotai]] this 2% haste is actually quite useful in reaching the gear haste cap on many TP sets. Even with all of those benefits, it is often hard for me to justify using this weapon over the powerful [[Centovente]] -- unless the accuracy demands of the fight require it.

[[File:Crepuscular Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Crepuscular Knife]]''' A hard to obtain, potentially fun toy to play with, but it is hard to find the use-case for this when comparing it to other off-hand options such as [[Centovente]] and [[Gleti's Knife]].

[[File:Centovente icon.png|link=]] '''[[Centovente]]''' The 1000 TP Bonus, when paired with a Twashtar and all of the powerful post Odyssey/Sortie gear make this an absolute monster. The default off-hand option unless the non-item level accuracy becomes a hinderance to gaining TP.

[[File:Tauret icon.png|link=]] '''[[Tauret]]''' Far easier to obtain than the REMAP options, and packs a significant punch. Obviously, [[Evisceration]] becomes your primary weapon skill - and with the proper (crit-focused) gear it can really shine in low-buff situations.

[[File:Gandring icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gandring]]''' This (Path C) is an investment in fun, pure and simple. Being able to pull a pack (or more) of Omen fodder, and watch them all swing and miss you while giving you massive TP for [[Aeolian Edge]] is pure joy. Not really useful for single target dps, not really useful for TH - but it's a blast to use in the right situations.

[[File:Naegling icon.png|link=]] '''[[Naegling]]''' Use it if you find a need for slashing damage, or need something other than piercing.

[[File:Karambit icon.png|link=]] '''[[Karambit]]''' Use it if, for some reason, you are fighting something that only takes blunt damage while on thief!

==TP Sets==
There are really so many variations of TP sets that one can come up with on thief, especially now with the recently released artifact and relic +4, as well as the Cloud of Darkness HTMB with the "null" accessories. There are a few important things to keep in mind when building your sets.

#You want to be gear haste capped. Always make sure you are getting your maximum haste. When trying to build a set on thief, especially one with 50% DT or close, it is pretty easy to come up 1% short on haste. Complicating this is the fact that Gleti's Knife comes with haste, while Centovente does not, so your needs change based on weapon selection. I personally believe you should be using Centovente 99% of the time and making up any accuracy needs with the appropriate buffs.
#You need 6 Dual Wield when haste capped.
#DT (and meva) matters more than trying to eek out a 0.5% marginal increase in your damage. There are two types of encounters in FFXI today - one where you have a relatively high risk of dying (in which case you DEFINITELY want 50% DT and max Meva etc) and one where you so totally overpower the content that your extra 0.5%,1% or 2% damage is completely irrelevant. (Do you really care if the fight takes 30 seconds instead of 31 seconds?)

What I present here should be used a starting point for customizing your set to your specific needs. Besides the items seen here, other items to consider when building your sets include:

*[[File:Null Loop icon.png|link=]] '''[[Null Loop]]'''
*[[File:Skulk. Culottes +3 icon.png|link=]] '''[[Skulker's Culottes +3]]'''
*[[File:Pill. Culottes +4 icon.png|link=]] '''[[Pillager's Culottes +4]]'''
*[[File:Gleti's Gauntlets icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gleti's Gauntlets]]'''
*[[File:Dedition Earring icon.png|link=]] '''[[Dedition Earring]]'''

Thief Guide By Kaius

2025-07-26T02:43:06Z

Kaius: /* TP Sets */

{{Guide}}

[[File:KaiusTaruThief.png|frameless|right]]

==Introduction==

Thief is a versatile DD job capable of producing extremely high burst damage and bringing enmity control abilities, party wide accuracy boosts, and the much renowned treasure hunter for increased item drop rate. For the equipment portion of this guide I will focus on end-game ready options. A section with more starter-friendly alternatives will be added soon.

==Treasure Hunter==

* It caps at 8
* You get 3 from job traits
* 8 - 3 = 5
* [[Skulk. Poulaines +3]] have 5
* The end

==Support Jobs==

There's really two viable support jobs for group play today: Warrior and Dragoon. If you are not attack capped, then warrior is going to be very strong by virtue of bringing berserk and offering you a substantial attack gain. Alternatively, and hopefully more commonly, you will be getting to play in a high-buff situation, in which case /DRG and the accompanying WSD traits will be the way to go.

If you are looking to solo, perhaps farming something using your TH, then /DNC can be nice for the self-healing capabilities and of course Spectral Jig for free,easy, and instant sneak/invis.

* [[Ancient Circle]], [[High Jump]], [[Accuracy Bonus]] I, [[Conserve TP]] I, [[WS Damage Boost]] I, [[Super Jump]], [[Conserve TP]] II, [[WS Damage Boost]] II

* [[Spectral Jig]], [[Curing Waltz]], [[Healing Waltz]], [[Quickstep]], [[Box Step]], [[Haste Samba]], [[Accuracy Bonus]] I, [[Skillchain Bonus]] I, [[Subtle Blow]] II, [[Contradance]], [[Skillchain Bonus]] II

==Weapons==
[[File:Mandau (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[ Mandau (Level 119 III)]]''' Widely considered obsolete and not worth investing in for Thief. Could be fun to lockstyle a golden aura.

[[File:Twashtar (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Twashtar (Level 119 III)]]''' The top-tier main-hand outside of a stage 4+ prime. Unlocks the full potential of [[Rudra's Storm]], especially when used with a [[Centovente]] for the massive TP bonus. Highly effective whether you are solo skillchaining with Evis->Rudra->Rudra, or fully buffed simply spamming Rudras.

[[File:Vajra (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Vajra (Level 119 III)]]''' An interesting weapon that still fills some niche applications nicely. At rank 15, Mandalic Stab becomes a decent weapon skill, especially in lower buff situations. The unique weapon skill properties also enable Fusion/Light based skillchains. The mythic aftermath, paired with the proper gear) will allow you to generate TP quite quickly, making this a great choice if you have a need to execute a long, many step skillchain sequence (eg Omen objective). There are certainly many mythic weapons which are more important for their respective jobs than Vajra is for Thief, however.

[[File:Aeneas icon.png|link=]] '''[[Aeneas]]''' If you can easily get an Aeonic clear and don't want to spend the time and/or gil on the Twashtar, this is a decent option for the same playstyle. It comes with a nifty 500 TP bonus in the main-hand, and with the Store TP bonus will yield rapid fire weapon skills and skillchains. As an Aeonic, it of course also allows ultimate skillchains.

[[File:Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III)]]''' A top tier option, but it comes with a very large (3,500,000+ gallimaufry) barrier to entry. If this is your chosen Prime and you do do enough Sortie to support the grind to stage 4 and beyond, then you will be rewarded with an incredible dagger.

[[File:Gleti's Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gleti's Knife]]''' A very potent off-hand, especially at high ranks. Sports an incredible array of useful stats including very high attack, triple attack, subtle blow II, and even 2% haste. With the lack of haste on the [[Reiki Yotai]] this 2% haste is actually quite useful in reaching the gear haste cap on many TP sets. Even with all of those benefits, it is often hard for me to justify using this weapon over the powerful [[Centovente]] -- unless the accuracy demands of the fight require it.

[[File:Crepuscular Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Crepuscular Knife]]''' A hard to obtain, potentially fun toy to play with, but it is hard to find the use-case for this when comparing it to other off-hand options such as [[Centovente]] and [[Gleti's Knife]].

[[File:Centovente icon.png|link=]] '''[[Centovente]]''' The 1000 TP Bonus, when paired with a Twashtar and all of the powerful post Odyssey/Sortie gear make this an absolute monster. The default off-hand option unless the non-item level accuracy becomes a hinderance to gaining TP.

[[File:Tauret icon.png|link=]] '''[[Tauret]]''' Far easier to obtain than the REMAP options, and packs a significant punch. Obviously, [[Evisceration]] becomes your primary weapon skill - and with the proper (crit-focused) gear it can really shine in low-buff situations.

[[File:Gandring icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gandring]]''' This (Path C) is an investment in fun, pure and simple. Being able to pull a pack (or more) of Omen fodder, and watch them all swing and miss you while giving you massive TP for [[Aeolian Edge]] is pure joy. Not really useful for single target dps, not really useful for TH - but it's a blast to use in the right situations.

[[File:Naegling icon.png|link=]] '''[[Naegling]]''' Use it if you find a need for slashing damage, or need something other than piercing.

[[File:Karambit icon.png|link=]] '''[[Karambit]]''' Use it if, for some reason, you are fighting something that only takes blunt damage while on thief!

==TP Sets==
There are really so many variations of TP sets that one can come up with on thief, especially now with the recently released artifact and relic +4, as well as the Cloud of Darkness HTMB with the "null" accessories. There are a few important things to keep in mind when building your sets.

#You want to be gear haste capped. Always make sure you are getting your maximum haste. When trying to build a set on thief, especially one with 50% DT or close, it is pretty easy to come up 1% short on haste. Complicating this is the fact that Gleti's Knife comes with haste, while Centovente does not, so your needs change based on weapon selection. I personally believe you should be using Centovente 99% of the time and making up any accuracy needs with the appropriate buffs.
#You need 6 Dual Wield when haste capped.
#DT (and meva) matters more than trying to eek out a 0.5% marginal increase in your damage. There are two types of encounters in FFXI today - one where you have a relatively high risk of dying (in which case you DEFINITELY want 50% DT and max Meva etc) and one where you so totally overpower the content that your extra 0.5%,1% or 2% damage is completely irrelevant. (Do you really care if the fight takes 30 seconds instead of 31 seconds?)

What I present here should be used a starting point for customizing your set to your specific needs. Besides the items seen here, other items to consider when building your sets include:

*[[File:Null Loop icon.png|link=]] '''[[Null Loop]]'''
*[[File:Skulk. Culottes +3 icon.png|link=]] '''[[Skulker's Culottes +3]]'''
*[[File:Pill. Culottes +4 icon.png|link=]] '''[[Pillager's Culottes +4]]'''
*[[File:Gleti's Gauntlets icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gleti's Gauntlets]]'''
*[[File:Dedition Earring icon.png|link=]] '''[[Dedition Earring]]'''

* Compared to the -DT set on the community guide, this set provides: +1% Haste (making you haste capped with any weapon (!), +28 accuracy, +60 attack, +4 MDef, +15 DEF, +5 Subtle Blow II, +121 HP, +4 DEX, +7 AGI, +5 STR, and 2% chance of triple damage on triple attack, but sacrifices 7 STP, and 25 MEVA. The 1% additional haste is critical, and SBII should not be overlooked.

==WS Sets==

Sets based on the "[https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/57175/all-jobs-damage-simulator-and-gear-sets All Jobs Damage Simulator and Gear Sets]" by Izanami. Some may have been modified slightly based on my own experience. Also, always remember there is generally no single best set for all situations (or even 2 best sets (standard / high attack). Every fight is unique.

Gleti stats shown are Rank 30.
Nyame stats shown are Rank 25.

Thief Guide By Kaius

2025-07-26T02:41:48Z

Kaius: /* TP Sets */

{{Guide}}

[[File:KaiusTaruThief.png|frameless|right]]

==Introduction==

Thief is a versatile DD job capable of producing extremely high burst damage and bringing enmity control abilities, party wide accuracy boosts, and the much renowned treasure hunter for increased item drop rate. For the equipment portion of this guide I will focus on end-game ready options. A section with more starter-friendly alternatives will be added soon.

==Treasure Hunter==

* It caps at 8
* You get 3 from job traits
* 8 - 3 = 5
* [[Skulk. Poulaines +3]] have 5
* The end

==Support Jobs==

There's really two viable support jobs for group play today: Warrior and Dragoon. If you are not attack capped, then warrior is going to be very strong by virtue of bringing berserk and offering you a substantial attack gain. Alternatively, and hopefully more commonly, you will be getting to play in a high-buff situation, in which case /DRG and the accompanying WSD traits will be the way to go.

If you are looking to solo, perhaps farming something using your TH, then /DNC can be nice for the self-healing capabilities and of course Spectral Jig for free,easy, and instant sneak/invis.

* [[Spectral Jig]], [[Curing Waltz]], [[Healing Waltz]], [[Quickstep]], [[Box Step]], [[Haste Samba]], [[Accuracy Bonus]] I, [[Skillchain Bonus]] I, [[Subtle Blow]] II, [[Contradance]], [[Skillchain Bonus]] II

==Weapons==
[[File:Mandau (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[ Mandau (Level 119 III)]]''' Widely considered obsolete and not worth investing in for Thief. Could be fun to lockstyle a golden aura.

[[File:Twashtar (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Twashtar (Level 119 III)]]''' The top-tier main-hand outside of a stage 4+ prime. Unlocks the full potential of [[Rudra's Storm]], especially when used with a [[Centovente]] for the massive TP bonus. Highly effective whether you are solo skillchaining with Evis->Rudra->Rudra, or fully buffed simply spamming Rudras.

[[File:Vajra (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Vajra (Level 119 III)]]''' An interesting weapon that still fills some niche applications nicely. At rank 15, Mandalic Stab becomes a decent weapon skill, especially in lower buff situations. The unique weapon skill properties also enable Fusion/Light based skillchains. The mythic aftermath, paired with the proper gear) will allow you to generate TP quite quickly, making this a great choice if you have a need to execute a long, many step skillchain sequence (eg Omen objective). There are certainly many mythic weapons which are more important for their respective jobs than Vajra is for Thief, however.

[[File:Aeneas icon.png|link=]] '''[[Aeneas]]''' If you can easily get an Aeonic clear and don't want to spend the time and/or gil on the Twashtar, this is a decent option for the same playstyle. It comes with a nifty 500 TP bonus in the main-hand, and with the Store TP bonus will yield rapid fire weapon skills and skillchains. As an Aeonic, it of course also allows ultimate skillchains.

[[File:Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III)]]''' A top tier option, but it comes with a very large (3,500,000+ gallimaufry) barrier to entry. If this is your chosen Prime and you do do enough Sortie to support the grind to stage 4 and beyond, then you will be rewarded with an incredible dagger.

[[File:Gleti's Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gleti's Knife]]''' A very potent off-hand, especially at high ranks. Sports an incredible array of useful stats including very high attack, triple attack, subtle blow II, and even 2% haste. With the lack of haste on the [[Reiki Yotai]] this 2% haste is actually quite useful in reaching the gear haste cap on many TP sets. Even with all of those benefits, it is often hard for me to justify using this weapon over the powerful [[Centovente]] -- unless the accuracy demands of the fight require it.

[[File:Crepuscular Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Crepuscular Knife]]''' A hard to obtain, potentially fun toy to play with, but it is hard to find the use-case for this when comparing it to other off-hand options such as [[Centovente]] and [[Gleti's Knife]].

[[File:Centovente icon.png|link=]] '''[[Centovente]]''' The 1000 TP Bonus, when paired with a Twashtar and all of the powerful post Odyssey/Sortie gear make this an absolute monster. The default off-hand option unless the non-item level accuracy becomes a hinderance to gaining TP.

[[File:Tauret icon.png|link=]] '''[[Tauret]]''' Far easier to obtain than the REMAP options, and packs a significant punch. Obviously, [[Evisceration]] becomes your primary weapon skill - and with the proper (crit-focused) gear it can really shine in low-buff situations.

[[File:Gandring icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gandring]]''' This (Path C) is an investment in fun, pure and simple. Being able to pull a pack (or more) of Omen fodder, and watch them all swing and miss you while giving you massive TP for [[Aeolian Edge]] is pure joy. Not really useful for single target dps, not really useful for TH - but it's a blast to use in the right situations.

[[File:Naegling icon.png|link=]] '''[[Naegling]]''' Use it if you find a need for slashing damage, or need something other than piercing.

[[File:Karambit icon.png|link=]] '''[[Karambit]]''' Use it if, for some reason, you are fighting something that only takes blunt damage while on thief!

==TP Sets==
There are really so many variations of TP sets that one can come up with on thief, especially now with the recently released artifact and relic +4, as well as the Cloud of Darkness HTMB with the "null" accessories. There are a few important things to keep in mind when building your sets.

#You want to be gear haste capped. Always make sure you are getting your maximum haste. When trying to build a set on thief, especially one with 50% DT or close, it is pretty easy to come up 1% short on haste. Complicating this is the fact that Gleti's Knife comes with haste, while Centovente does not, so your needs change based on weapon selection. I personally believe you should be using Centovente 99% of the time and making up any accuracy needs with the appropriate buffs.
#You need 6 Dual Wield when haste capped.
#DT (and meva) matters more than trying to eek out a 0.5% marginal increase in your damage. There are two types of encounters in FFXI today - one where you have a relatively high risk of dying (in which case you DEFINITELY want 50% DT and max Meva etc) and one where you so totally overpower the content that your extra 0.5%,1% or 2% damage is completely irrelevant. (Do you really care if the fight takes 30 seconds instead of 31 seconds?)

*53% PDT, 35% MDT
* Compared to the -DT set on the community guide, this set provides: +1% Haste (making you haste capped with any weapon (!), +28 accuracy, +60 attack, +4 MDef, +15 DEF, +5 Subtle Blow II, +121 HP, +4 DEX, +7 AGI, +5 STR, and 2% chance of triple damage on triple attack, but sacrifices 7 STP, and 25 MEVA. The 1% additional haste is critical, and SBII should not be overlooked.

==WS Sets==

Sets based on the "[https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/57175/all-jobs-damage-simulator-and-gear-sets All Jobs Damage Simulator and Gear Sets]" by Izanami. Some may have been modified slightly based on my own experience. Also, always remember there is generally no single best set for all situations (or even 2 best sets (standard / high attack). Every fight is unique.

Gleti stats shown are Rank 30.
Nyame stats shown are Rank 25.

Thief Guide By Kaius

2025-07-26T02:29:14Z

Kaius: /* TP Sets */

{{Guide}}

[[File:KaiusTaruThief.png|frameless|right]]

==Introduction==

Thief is a versatile DD job capable of producing extremely high burst damage and bringing enmity control abilities, party wide accuracy boosts, and the much renowned treasure hunter for increased item drop rate. For the equipment portion of this guide I will focus on end-game ready options. A section with more starter-friendly alternatives will be added soon.

==Treasure Hunter==

* It caps at 8
* You get 3 from job traits
* 8 - 3 = 5
* [[Skulk. Poulaines +3]] have 5
* The end

==Support Jobs==

There's really two viable support jobs for group play today: Warrior and Dragoon. If you are not attack capped, then warrior is going to be very strong by virtue of bringing berserk and offering you a substantial attack gain. Alternatively, and hopefully more commonly, you will be getting to play in a high-buff situation, in which case /DRG and the accompanying WSD traits will be the way to go.

If you are looking to solo, perhaps farming something using your TH, then /DNC can be nice for the self-healing capabilities and of course Spectral Jig for free,easy, and instant sneak/invis.

[[File:Fighter's Mask icon.png|link=]] '''[[Warrior]]'''

* [[Arcane Circle]], [[Last Resort]]/ [[Souleater]], [[Attack Bonus]] II, [[Damage Limit+]] II, [[Consume Mana]], [[Attack Bonus]] III, [[Damage Limit+]] III

* [[Ancient Circle]], [[High Jump]], [[Accuracy Bonus]] I, [[Conserve TP]] I, [[WS Damage Boost]] I, [[Super Jump]], [[Conserve TP]] II, [[WS Damage Boost]] II

* [[Spectral Jig]], [[Curing Waltz]], [[Healing Waltz]], [[Quickstep]], [[Box Step]], [[Haste Samba]], [[Accuracy Bonus]] I, [[Skillchain Bonus]] I, [[Subtle Blow]] II, [[Contradance]], [[Skillchain Bonus]] II

==Weapons==
[[File:Mandau (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[ Mandau (Level 119 III)]]''' Widely considered obsolete and not worth investing in for Thief. Could be fun to lockstyle a golden aura.

[[File:Twashtar (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Twashtar (Level 119 III)]]''' The top-tier main-hand outside of a stage 4+ prime. Unlocks the full potential of [[Rudra's Storm]], especially when used with a [[Centovente]] for the massive TP bonus. Highly effective whether you are solo skillchaining with Evis->Rudra->Rudra, or fully buffed simply spamming Rudras.

[[File:Vajra (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Vajra (Level 119 III)]]''' An interesting weapon that still fills some niche applications nicely. At rank 15, Mandalic Stab becomes a decent weapon skill, especially in lower buff situations. The unique weapon skill properties also enable Fusion/Light based skillchains. The mythic aftermath, paired with the proper gear) will allow you to generate TP quite quickly, making this a great choice if you have a need to execute a long, many step skillchain sequence (eg Omen objective). There are certainly many mythic weapons which are more important for their respective jobs than Vajra is for Thief, however.

[[File:Aeneas icon.png|link=]] '''[[Aeneas]]''' If you can easily get an Aeonic clear and don't want to spend the time and/or gil on the Twashtar, this is a decent option for the same playstyle. It comes with a nifty 500 TP bonus in the main-hand, and with the Store TP bonus will yield rapid fire weapon skills and skillchains. As an Aeonic, it of course also allows ultimate skillchains.

[[File:Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III)]]''' A top tier option, but it comes with a very large (3,500,000+ gallimaufry) barrier to entry. If this is your chosen Prime and you do do enough Sortie to support the grind to stage 4 and beyond, then you will be rewarded with an incredible dagger.

[[File:Gleti's Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gleti's Knife]]''' A very potent off-hand, especially at high ranks. Sports an incredible array of useful stats including very high attack, triple attack, subtle blow II, and even 2% haste. With the lack of haste on the [[Reiki Yotai]] this 2% haste is actually quite useful in reaching the gear haste cap on many TP sets. Even with all of those benefits, it is often hard for me to justify using this weapon over the powerful [[Centovente]] -- unless the accuracy demands of the fight require it.

[[File:Crepuscular Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Crepuscular Knife]]''' A hard to obtain, potentially fun toy to play with, but it is hard to find the use-case for this when comparing it to other off-hand options such as [[Centovente]] and [[Gleti's Knife]].

[[File:Centovente icon.png|link=]] '''[[Centovente]]''' The 1000 TP Bonus, when paired with a Twashtar and all of the powerful post Odyssey/Sortie gear make this an absolute monster. The default off-hand option unless the non-item level accuracy becomes a hinderance to gaining TP.

[[File:Tauret icon.png|link=]] '''[[Tauret]]''' Far easier to obtain than the REMAP options, and packs a significant punch. Obviously, [[Evisceration]] becomes your primary weapon skill - and with the proper (crit-focused) gear it can really shine in low-buff situations.

[[File:Gandring icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gandring]]''' This (Path C) is an investment in fun, pure and simple. Being able to pull a pack (or more) of Omen fodder, and watch them all swing and miss you while giving you massive TP for [[Aeolian Edge]] is pure joy. Not really useful for single target dps, not really useful for TH - but it's a blast to use in the right situations.

[[File:Naegling icon.png|link=]] '''[[Naegling]]''' Use it if you find a need for slashing damage, or need something other than piercing.

[[File:Karambit icon.png|link=]] '''[[Karambit]]''' Use it if, for some reason, you are fighting something that only takes blunt damage while on thief!

==TP Sets==
There are really so many variations of TP sets that one can come up with on thief, especially now with the recently released artifact and relic +4, as well as the Cloud of Darkness HTMB with the "null" accessories. There are a few important things to keep in mind when building your sets.

#You want to be gear haste capped. Always make sure you are getting your maximum haste. When trying to build a set on thief, especially one with 50% DT or close, it is pretty easy to come up 1% short on haste. Complicating this is the fact that Gleti's Knife comes with haste, while Centovente does not, so your needs change based on weapon selection. I personally believe you should be using Centovente 99% of the time and making up any accuracy needs with the appropriate buffs.
#You need 6 Dual Wield when haste capped.
#DT (and meva) matters more than trying to eek out a 0.5% marginal increase in your damage. There are two types of encounters in FFXI today - one where you have a relatively high risk of dying (in which case you DEFINITELY want 50% DT and max Meva etc) and one where you so totally overpower the content that your extra 0.5%,1% or 2% damage is completely irrelevant. (Do you really care if the fight takes 30 seconds instead of 31 seconds?)

What I present here should be used a starting point for customizing your set to your specific needs. Besides the items seen here, other items to consider when building your sets include:

*[[File:Null Loop icon.png|link=]] '''[[Null Loop]]'''
*[[File:Skulk. Culottes +3 icon.png|link=]] '''[[Skulker's Culottes +3]]'''

==WS Sets==

Sets based on the "[https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/57175/all-jobs-damage-simulator-and-gear-sets All Jobs Damage Simulator and Gear Sets]" by Izanami. Some may have been modified slightly based on my own experience. Also, always remember there is generally no single best set for all situations (or even 2 best sets (standard / high attack). Every fight is unique.

Gleti stats shown are Rank 30.
Nyame stats shown are Rank 25.

Thief Guide By Kaius

2025-07-25T23:12:21Z

Kaius: /* Job Ability Sets */

{{Guide}}

[[File:KaiusTaruThief.png|frameless|right]]

==Introduction==

Thief is a versatile DD job capable of producing extremely high burst damage and bringing enmity control abilities, party wide accuracy boosts, and the much renowned treasure hunter for increased item drop rate. For the equipment portion of this guide I will focus on end-game ready options. A section with more starter-friendly alternatives will be added soon.

==Treasure Hunter==

* It caps at 8
* You get 3 from job traits
* 8 - 3 = 5
* [[Skulk. Poulaines +3]] have 5
* The end

==Support Jobs==

There's really two viable support jobs for group play today: Warrior and Dragoon. If you are not attack capped, then warrior is going to be very strong by virtue of bringing berserk and offering you a substantial attack gain. Alternatively, and hopefully more commonly, you will be getting to play in a high-buff situation, in which case /DRG and the accompanying WSD traits will be the way to go.

If you are looking to solo, perhaps farming something using your TH, then /DNC can be nice for the self-healing capabilities and of course Spectral Jig for free,easy, and instant sneak/invis.

|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| [[Assassin's Charge]]
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| Will triple your next attack. Recast: 5min. Increase chance of fourfold attack by 5 percent.
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| 1
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| Invest a point to add this to your tool kit, not worth the additional points for increased quad chance.
|-
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| [[Feint]]
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| Your next attack will greatly reduce an enemy's evasion. Recast: 2min. Increase chance of [[Treasure Hunter]] level up by 25 percent.
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| 4
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| Really nice boost in accuracy for you and an entire alliance as it works by reducing enemy evasion. Note that the primary reason to go up to 4 is the synergy with [[Plun. Culottes +3]] for increased potency.
|-
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| [[Aura Steal]]
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| Adds a Dispel effect to [[Steal]]. Occasionally absorbs dispelled effect. Increase absorb rate by 20 percent.
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| 0
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| Hard to justify any points here for me. If you have a specific use-case in mind, it may be worth switching merits for.
|-

|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| Grants an accuracy bonus to melee and ranged attacks from behind an enemy. Increase accuracy bonus by 3.
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| 5
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| Accuracy is a very important stat (until capped). No reason not to have this if you are fighting non-trivial content.

==Weapons==
[[File:Mandau (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[ Mandau (Level 119 III)]]''' Widely considered obsolete and not worth investing in for Thief. Could be fun to lockstyle a golden aura.

[[File:Twashtar (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Twashtar (Level 119 III)]]''' The top-tier main-hand outside of a stage 4+ prime. Unlocks the full potential of [[Rudra's Storm]], especially when used with a [[Centovente]] for the massive TP bonus. Highly effective whether you are solo skillchaining with Evis->Rudra->Rudra, or fully buffed simply spamming Rudras.

[[File:Vajra (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Vajra (Level 119 III)]]''' An interesting weapon that still fills some niche applications nicely. At rank 15, Mandalic Stab becomes a decent weapon skill, especially in lower buff situations. The unique weapon skill properties also enable Fusion/Light based skillchains. The mythic aftermath, paired with the proper gear) will allow you to generate TP quite quickly, making this a great choice if you have a need to execute a long, many step skillchain sequence (eg Omen objective). There are certainly many mythic weapons which are more important for their respective jobs than Vajra is for Thief, however.

[[File:Aeneas icon.png|link=]] '''[[Aeneas]]''' If you can easily get an Aeonic clear and don't want to spend the time and/or gil on the Twashtar, this is a decent option for the same playstyle. It comes with a nifty 500 TP bonus in the main-hand, and with the Store TP bonus will yield rapid fire weapon skills and skillchains. As an Aeonic, it of course also allows ultimate skillchains.

[[File:Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III)]]''' A top tier option, but it comes with a very large (3,500,000+ gallimaufry) barrier to entry. If this is your chosen Prime and you do do enough Sortie to support the grind to stage 4 and beyond, then you will be rewarded with an incredible dagger.

[[File:Gleti's Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gleti's Knife]]''' A very potent off-hand, especially at high ranks. Sports an incredible array of useful stats including very high attack, triple attack, subtle blow II, and even 2% haste. With the lack of haste on the [[Reiki Yotai]] this 2% haste is actually quite useful in reaching the gear haste cap on many TP sets. Even with all of those benefits, it is often hard for me to justify using this weapon over the powerful [[Centovente]] -- unless the accuracy demands of the fight require it.

[[File:Crepuscular Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Crepuscular Knife]]''' A hard to obtain, potentially fun toy to play with, but it is hard to find the use-case for this when comparing it to other off-hand options such as [[Centovente]] and [[Gleti's Knife]].

[[File:Centovente icon.png|link=]] '''[[Centovente]]''' The 1000 TP Bonus, when paired with a Twashtar and all of the powerful post Odyssey/Sortie gear make this an absolute monster. The default off-hand option unless the non-item level accuracy becomes a hinderance to gaining TP.

[[File:Tauret icon.png|link=]] '''[[Tauret]]''' Far easier to obtain than the REMAP options, and packs a significant punch. Obviously, [[Evisceration]] becomes your primary weapon skill - and with the proper (crit-focused) gear it can really shine in low-buff situations.

[[File:Gandring icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gandring]]''' This (Path C) is an investment in fun, pure and simple. Being able to pull a pack (or more) of Omen fodder, and watch them all swing and miss you while giving you massive TP for [[Aeolian Edge]] is pure joy. Not really useful for single target dps, not really useful for TH - but it's a blast to use in the right situations.

[[File:Naegling icon.png|link=]] '''[[Naegling]]''' Use it if you find a need for slashing damage, or need something other than piercing.

[[File:Karambit icon.png|link=]] '''[[Karambit]]''' Use it if, for some reason, you are fighting something that only takes blunt damage while on thief!

==TP Sets==
There are really so many variations of TP sets that one can come up with on thief, especially now with the recently released artifact and relic +4, as well as the Cloud of Darkness HTMB with the "null" accessories. There are a few important things to keep in mind when building your sets.

#You want to be gear haste capped. Always make sure you are getting your maximum haste. When trying to build a set on thief, especially one with 50% DT or close, it is pretty easy to come up 1% short on haste. Complicating this is the fact that Gleti's Knife comes with haste, while Centovente does not, so your needs change based on weapon selection. I personally believe you should be using Centovente 99% of the time and making up any accuracy needs with the appropriate buffs.
#You need 7 Dual Wield when haste capped.
#DT (and meva) matters more than trying to eek out a 0.5% marginal increase in your damage. There are two types of encounters in FFXI today - one where you have a relatively high risk of dying (in which case you DEFINITELY want 50% DT and max Meva etc) and one where you so totally overpower the content that your extra 0.5%,1% or 2% damage is completely irrelevant. (Do you really care if the fight takes 30 seconds instead of 31 seconds?)

What I present here should be used a starting point for customizing your set to your specific needs. Besides the items seen here, other items to consider when building your sets include:

*[[File:Null Loop icon.png|link=]] '''[[Null Loop]]'''
*[[File:Skulk. Culottes +3 icon.png|link=]] '''[[Skulker's Culottes +3]]'''
*[[File:Pill. Culottes +4 icon.png|link=]] '''[[Pillager's Culottes +4]]'''
*[[File:Gleti's Gauntlets icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gleti's Gauntlets]]'''
*[[File:Dedition Earring icon.png|link=]] '''[[Dedition Earring]]'''

Sets based on the "[https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/57175/all-jobs-damage-simulator-and-gear-sets All Jobs Damage Simulator and Gear Sets]" by Izanami. Some may have been modified slightly based on my own experience. Also, always remember there is generally no single best set for all situations (or even 2 best sets (standard / high attack). Every fight is unique.

Gleti stats shown are Rank 30.
Nyame stats shown are Rank 25.

Thief Guide By Kaius

2025-07-25T23:07:54Z

Kaius: /* Treasure Hunter */

{{Guide}}

[[File:KaiusTaruThief.png|frameless|right]]

==Introduction==

Thief is a versatile DD job capable of producing extremely high burst damage and bringing enmity control abilities, party wide accuracy boosts, and the much renowned treasure hunter for increased item drop rate. For the equipment portion of this guide I will focus on end-game ready options. A section with more starter-friendly alternatives will be added soon.

==Treasure Hunter==

* It caps at 8
* You get 3 from job traits
* 8 - 3 = 5
* [[Skulk. Poulaines +3]] have 5
* The end

==Support Jobs==

There's really two viable support jobs for group play today: Warrior and Dragoon. If you are not attack capped, then warrior is going to be very strong by virtue of bringing berserk and offering you a substantial attack gain. Alternatively, and hopefully more commonly, you will be getting to play in a high-buff situation, in which case /DRG and the accompanying WSD traits will be the way to go.

If you are looking to solo, perhaps farming something using your TH, then /DNC can be nice for the self-healing capabilities and of course Spectral Jig for free,easy, and instant sneak/invis.

* [[Spectral Jig]], [[Curing Waltz]], [[Healing Waltz]], [[Quickstep]], [[Box Step]], [[Haste Samba]], [[Accuracy Bonus]] I, [[Skillchain Bonus]] I, [[Subtle Blow]] II, [[Contradance]], [[Skillchain Bonus]] II

==Weapons==
[[File:Mandau (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[ Mandau (Level 119 III)]]''' Widely considered obsolete and not worth investing in for Thief. Could be fun to lockstyle a golden aura.

[[File:Twashtar (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Twashtar (Level 119 III)]]''' The top-tier main-hand outside of a stage 4+ prime. Unlocks the full potential of [[Rudra's Storm]], especially when used with a [[Centovente]] for the massive TP bonus. Highly effective whether you are solo skillchaining with Evis->Rudra->Rudra, or fully buffed simply spamming Rudras.

[[File:Vajra (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Vajra (Level 119 III)]]''' An interesting weapon that still fills some niche applications nicely. At rank 15, Mandalic Stab becomes a decent weapon skill, especially in lower buff situations. The unique weapon skill properties also enable Fusion/Light based skillchains. The mythic aftermath, paired with the proper gear) will allow you to generate TP quite quickly, making this a great choice if you have a need to execute a long, many step skillchain sequence (eg Omen objective). There are certainly many mythic weapons which are more important for their respective jobs than Vajra is for Thief, however.

[[File:Aeneas icon.png|link=]] '''[[Aeneas]]''' If you can easily get an Aeonic clear and don't want to spend the time and/or gil on the Twashtar, this is a decent option for the same playstyle. It comes with a nifty 500 TP bonus in the main-hand, and with the Store TP bonus will yield rapid fire weapon skills and skillchains. As an Aeonic, it of course also allows ultimate skillchains.

[[File:Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III)]]''' A top tier option, but it comes with a very large (3,500,000+ gallimaufry) barrier to entry. If this is your chosen Prime and you do do enough Sortie to support the grind to stage 4 and beyond, then you will be rewarded with an incredible dagger.

[[File:Gleti's Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gleti's Knife]]''' A very potent off-hand, especially at high ranks. Sports an incredible array of useful stats including very high attack, triple attack, subtle blow II, and even 2% haste. With the lack of haste on the [[Reiki Yotai]] this 2% haste is actually quite useful in reaching the gear haste cap on many TP sets. Even with all of those benefits, it is often hard for me to justify using this weapon over the powerful [[Centovente]] -- unless the accuracy demands of the fight require it.

[[File:Crepuscular Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Crepuscular Knife]]''' A hard to obtain, potentially fun toy to play with, but it is hard to find the use-case for this when comparing it to other off-hand options such as [[Centovente]] and [[Gleti's Knife]].

[[File:Centovente icon.png|link=]] '''[[Centovente]]''' The 1000 TP Bonus, when paired with a Twashtar and all of the powerful post Odyssey/Sortie gear make this an absolute monster. The default off-hand option unless the non-item level accuracy becomes a hinderance to gaining TP.

[[File:Tauret icon.png|link=]] '''[[Tauret]]''' Far easier to obtain than the REMAP options, and packs a significant punch. Obviously, [[Evisceration]] becomes your primary weapon skill - and with the proper (crit-focused) gear it can really shine in low-buff situations.

[[File:Gandring icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gandring]]''' This (Path C) is an investment in fun, pure and simple. Being able to pull a pack (or more) of Omen fodder, and watch them all swing and miss you while giving you massive TP for [[Aeolian Edge]] is pure joy. Not really useful for single target dps, not really useful for TH - but it's a blast to use in the right situations.

[[File:Naegling icon.png|link=]] '''[[Naegling]]''' Use it if you find a need for slashing damage, or need something other than piercing.

[[File:Karambit icon.png|link=]] '''[[Karambit]]''' Use it if, for some reason, you are fighting something that only takes blunt damage while on thief!

==TP Sets==
There are really so many variations of TP sets that one can come up with on thief, especially now with the recently released artifact and relic +4, as well as the Cloud of Darkness HTMB with the "null" accessories. There are a few important things to keep in mind when building your sets.

#You want to be gear haste capped. Always make sure you are getting your maximum haste. When trying to build a set on thief, especially one with 50% DT or close, it is pretty easy to come up 1% short on haste. Complicating this is the fact that Gleti's Knife comes with haste, while Centovente does not, so your needs change based on weapon selection. I personally believe you should be using Centovente 99% of the time and making up any accuracy needs with the appropriate buffs.
#You need 7 Dual Wield when haste capped.
#DT (and meva) matters more than trying to eek out a 0.5% marginal increase in your damage. There are two types of encounters in FFXI today - one where you have a relatively high risk of dying (in which case you DEFINITELY want 50% DT and max Meva etc) and one where you so totally overpower the content that your extra 0.5%,1% or 2% damage is completely irrelevant. (Do you really care if the fight takes 30 seconds instead of 31 seconds?)

What I present here should be used a starting point for customizing your set to your specific needs. Besides the items seen here, other items to consider when building your sets include:

*[[File:Null Loop icon.png|link=]] '''[[Null Loop]]'''
*[[File:Skulk. Culottes +3 icon.png|link=]] '''[[Skulker's Culottes +3]]'''
*[[File:Pill. Culottes +4 icon.png|link=]] '''[[Pillager's Culottes +4]]'''
*[[File:Gleti's Gauntlets icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gleti's Gauntlets]]'''
*[[File:Dedition Earring icon.png|link=]] '''[[Dedition Earring]]'''

==WS Sets==

Sets based on the "[https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/57175/all-jobs-damage-simulator-and-gear-sets All Jobs Damage Simulator and Gear Sets]" by Izanami. Some may have been modified slightly based on my own experience. Also, always remember there is generally no single best set for all situations (or even 2 best sets (standard / high attack). Every fight is unique.

Gleti stats shown are Rank 30.
Nyame stats shown are Rank 25.

Thief Guide By Kaius

2025-07-25T23:07:36Z

Kaius:

{{Guide}}

[[File:KaiusTaruThief.png|frameless|right]]

==Introduction==

Thief is a versatile DD job capable of producing extremely high burst damage and bringing enmity control abilities, party wide accuracy boosts, and the much renowned treasure hunter for increased item drop rate. For the equipment portion of this guide I will focus on end-game ready options. A section with more starter-friendly alternatives will be added soon.

==Treasure Hunter==

* It caps at 8
* You get 3 from job traits
* 8 - 3 = 5
* [[Skulk. Poulaines +3]] have 5.
* Wear [[Skulk. Poulaines +3]]
* The end

==Support Jobs==

There's really two viable support jobs for group play today: Warrior and Dragoon. If you are not attack capped, then warrior is going to be very strong by virtue of bringing berserk and offering you a substantial attack gain. Alternatively, and hopefully more commonly, you will be getting to play in a high-buff situation, in which case /DRG and the accompanying WSD traits will be the way to go.

If you are looking to solo, perhaps farming something using your TH, then /DNC can be nice for the self-healing capabilities and of course Spectral Jig for free,easy, and instant sneak/invis.

[[File:Fighter's Mask icon.png|link=]] '''[[Warrior]]'''
* [[Berserk]], [[Aggressor]], [[Warcry]], [[Attack Bonus]] I, [[Double Attack]] I, [[Max HP Boost]] I, [[Double Attack]] II, [[Max HP Boost]] II

* [[Arcane Circle]], [[Last Resort]]/ [[Souleater]], [[Attack Bonus]] II, [[Damage Limit+]] II, [[Consume Mana]], [[Attack Bonus]] III, [[Damage Limit+]] III

* [[Ancient Circle]], [[High Jump]], [[Accuracy Bonus]] I, [[Conserve TP]] I, [[WS Damage Boost]] I, [[Super Jump]], [[Conserve TP]] II, [[WS Damage Boost]] II

* [[Spectral Jig]], [[Curing Waltz]], [[Healing Waltz]], [[Quickstep]], [[Box Step]], [[Haste Samba]], [[Accuracy Bonus]] I, [[Skillchain Bonus]] I, [[Subtle Blow]] II, [[Contradance]], [[Skillchain Bonus]] II

==Weapons==
[[File:Mandau (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[ Mandau (Level 119 III)]]''' Widely considered obsolete and not worth investing in for Thief. Could be fun to lockstyle a golden aura.

[[File:Twashtar (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Twashtar (Level 119 III)]]''' The top-tier main-hand outside of a stage 4+ prime. Unlocks the full potential of [[Rudra's Storm]], especially when used with a [[Centovente]] for the massive TP bonus. Highly effective whether you are solo skillchaining with Evis->Rudra->Rudra, or fully buffed simply spamming Rudras.

[[File:Vajra (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Vajra (Level 119 III)]]''' An interesting weapon that still fills some niche applications nicely. At rank 15, Mandalic Stab becomes a decent weapon skill, especially in lower buff situations. The unique weapon skill properties also enable Fusion/Light based skillchains. The mythic aftermath, paired with the proper gear) will allow you to generate TP quite quickly, making this a great choice if you have a need to execute a long, many step skillchain sequence (eg Omen objective). There are certainly many mythic weapons which are more important for their respective jobs than Vajra is for Thief, however.

[[File:Aeneas icon.png|link=]] '''[[Aeneas]]''' If you can easily get an Aeonic clear and don't want to spend the time and/or gil on the Twashtar, this is a decent option for the same playstyle. It comes with a nifty 500 TP bonus in the main-hand, and with the Store TP bonus will yield rapid fire weapon skills and skillchains. As an Aeonic, it of course also allows ultimate skillchains.

[[File:Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III)]]''' A top tier option, but it comes with a very large (3,500,000+ gallimaufry) barrier to entry. If this is your chosen Prime and you do do enough Sortie to support the grind to stage 4 and beyond, then you will be rewarded with an incredible dagger.

[[File:Gleti's Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gleti's Knife]]''' A very potent off-hand, especially at high ranks. Sports an incredible array of useful stats including very high attack, triple attack, subtle blow II, and even 2% haste. With the lack of haste on the [[Reiki Yotai]] this 2% haste is actually quite useful in reaching the gear haste cap on many TP sets. Even with all of those benefits, it is often hard for me to justify using this weapon over the powerful [[Centovente]] -- unless the accuracy demands of the fight require it.

[[File:Crepuscular Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Crepuscular Knife]]''' A hard to obtain, potentially fun toy to play with, but it is hard to find the use-case for this when comparing it to other off-hand options such as [[Centovente]] and [[Gleti's Knife]].

[[File:Centovente icon.png|link=]] '''[[Centovente]]''' The 1000 TP Bonus, when paired with a Twashtar and all of the powerful post Odyssey/Sortie gear make this an absolute monster. The default off-hand option unless the non-item level accuracy becomes a hinderance to gaining TP.

[[File:Tauret icon.png|link=]] '''[[Tauret]]''' Far easier to obtain than the REMAP options, and packs a significant punch. Obviously, [[Evisceration]] becomes your primary weapon skill - and with the proper (crit-focused) gear it can really shine in low-buff situations.

[[File:Gandring icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gandring]]''' This (Path C) is an investment in fun, pure and simple. Being able to pull a pack (or more) of Omen fodder, and watch them all swing and miss you while giving you massive TP for [[Aeolian Edge]] is pure joy. Not really useful for single target dps, not really useful for TH - but it's a blast to use in the right situations.

[[File:Naegling icon.png|link=]] '''[[Naegling]]''' Use it if you find a need for slashing damage, or need something other than piercing.

[[File:Karambit icon.png|link=]] '''[[Karambit]]''' Use it if, for some reason, you are fighting something that only takes blunt damage while on thief!

==TP Sets==
There are really so many variations of TP sets that one can come up with on thief, especially now with the recently released artifact and relic +4, as well as the Cloud of Darkness HTMB with the "null" accessories. There are a few important things to keep in mind when building your sets.

#You want to be gear haste capped. Always make sure you are getting your maximum haste. When trying to build a set on thief, especially one with 50% DT or close, it is pretty easy to come up 1% short on haste. Complicating this is the fact that Gleti's Knife comes with haste, while Centovente does not, so your needs change based on weapon selection. I personally believe you should be using Centovente 99% of the time and making up any accuracy needs with the appropriate buffs.
#You need 7 Dual Wield when haste capped.
#DT (and meva) matters more than trying to eek out a 0.5% marginal increase in your damage. There are two types of encounters in FFXI today - one where you have a relatively high risk of dying (in which case you DEFINITELY want 50% DT and max Meva etc) and one where you so totally overpower the content that your extra 0.5%,1% or 2% damage is completely irrelevant. (Do you really care if the fight takes 30 seconds instead of 31 seconds?)

What I present here should be used a starting point for customizing your set to your specific needs. Besides the items seen here, other items to consider when building your sets include:

*[[File:Null Loop icon.png|link=]] '''[[Null Loop]]'''
*[[File:Skulk. Culottes +3 icon.png|link=]] '''[[Skulker's Culottes +3]]'''
*[[File:Pill. Culottes +4 icon.png|link=]] '''[[Pillager's Culottes +4]]'''
*[[File:Gleti's Gauntlets icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gleti's Gauntlets]]'''

*Haste cap without the 2% from [[Gleti's Knife]]
*53% PDT, 35% MDT
* Compared to the -DT set on the community guide, this set provides: +1% Haste (making you haste capped with any weapon (!), +28 accuracy, +60 attack, +4 MDef, +15 DEF, +5 Subtle Blow II, +121 HP, +4 DEX, +7 AGI, +5 STR, and 2% chance of triple damage on triple attack, but sacrifices 7 STP, and 25 MEVA. The 1% additional haste is critical, and SBII should not be overlooked.

==WS Sets==

Sets based on the "[https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/57175/all-jobs-damage-simulator-and-gear-sets All Jobs Damage Simulator and Gear Sets]" by Izanami. Some may have been modified slightly based on my own experience. Also, always remember there is generally no single best set for all situations (or even 2 best sets (standard / high attack). Every fight is unique.

Gleti stats shown are Rank 30.
Nyame stats shown are Rank 25.

Thief Guide By Kaius

2025-07-25T22:10:53Z

Kaius:

{{Guide}}

[[File:KaiusTaruThief.png|frameless|right]]

==Introduction==

Thief is a versatile DD job capable of producing extremely high burst damage and bringing enmity control abilities, party wide accuracy boosts, and the much renowned treasure hunter for increased item drop rate. For the equipment portion of this guide I will focus on end-game ready options. A section with more starter-friendly alternatives will be added soon.

==Support Jobs==

There's really two viable support jobs for group play today: Warrior and Dragoon. If you are not attack capped, then warrior is going to be very strong by virtue of bringing berserk and offering you a substantial attack gain. Alternatively, and hopefully more commonly, you will be getting to play in a high-buff situation, in which case /DRG and the accompanying WSD traits will be the way to go.

If you are looking to solo, perhaps farming something using your TH, then /DNC can be nice for the self-healing capabilities and of course Spectral Jig for free,easy, and instant sneak/invis.

|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| Really nice boost in accuracy for you and an entire alliance as it works by reducing enemy evasion. Note that the primary reason to go up to 4 is the synergy with [[Plun. Culottes +3]] for increased potency.

==Weapons==
[[File:Mandau (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[ Mandau (Level 119 III)]]''' Widely considered obsolete and not worth investing in for Thief. Could be fun to lockstyle a golden aura.

[[File:Twashtar (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Twashtar (Level 119 III)]]''' The top-tier main-hand outside of a stage 4+ prime. Unlocks the full potential of [[Rudra's Storm]], especially when used with a [[Centovente]] for the massive TP bonus. Highly effective whether you are solo skillchaining with Evis->Rudra->Rudra, or fully buffed simply spamming Rudras.

[[File:Vajra (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Vajra (Level 119 III)]]''' An interesting weapon that still fills some niche applications nicely. At rank 15, Mandalic Stab becomes a decent weapon skill, especially in lower buff situations. The unique weapon skill properties also enable Fusion/Light based skillchains. The mythic aftermath, paired with the proper gear) will allow you to generate TP quite quickly, making this a great choice if you have a need to execute a long, many step skillchain sequence (eg Omen objective). There are certainly many mythic weapons which are more important for their respective jobs than Vajra is for Thief, however.

[[File:Aeneas icon.png|link=]] '''[[Aeneas]]''' If you can easily get an Aeonic clear and don't want to spend the time and/or gil on the Twashtar, this is a decent option for the same playstyle. It comes with a nifty 500 TP bonus in the main-hand, and with the Store TP bonus will yield rapid fire weapon skills and skillchains. As an Aeonic, it of course also allows ultimate skillchains.

[[File:Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III)]]''' A top tier option, but it comes with a very large (3,500,000+ gallimaufry) barrier to entry. If this is your chosen Prime and you do do enough Sortie to support the grind to stage 4 and beyond, then you will be rewarded with an incredible dagger.

[[File:Gleti's Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gleti's Knife]]''' A very potent off-hand, especially at high ranks. Sports an incredible array of useful stats including very high attack, triple attack, subtle blow II, and even 2% haste. With the lack of haste on the [[Reiki Yotai]] this 2% haste is actually quite useful in reaching the gear haste cap on many TP sets. Even with all of those benefits, it is often hard for me to justify using this weapon over the powerful [[Centovente]] -- unless the accuracy demands of the fight require it.

[[File:Crepuscular Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Crepuscular Knife]]''' A hard to obtain, potentially fun toy to play with, but it is hard to find the use-case for this when comparing it to other off-hand options such as [[Centovente]] and [[Gleti's Knife]].

[[File:Centovente icon.png|link=]] '''[[Centovente]]''' The 1000 TP Bonus, when paired with a Twashtar and all of the powerful post Odyssey/Sortie gear make this an absolute monster. The default off-hand option unless the non-item level accuracy becomes a hinderance to gaining TP.

[[File:Tauret icon.png|link=]] '''[[Tauret]]''' Far easier to obtain than the REMAP options, and packs a significant punch. Obviously, [[Evisceration]] becomes your primary weapon skill - and with the proper (crit-focused) gear it can really shine in low-buff situations.

[[File:Gandring icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gandring]]''' This (Path C) is an investment in fun, pure and simple. Being able to pull a pack (or more) of Omen fodder, and watch them all swing and miss you while giving you massive TP for [[Aeolian Edge]] is pure joy. Not really useful for single target dps, not really useful for TH - but it's a blast to use in the right situations.

[[File:Naegling icon.png|link=]] '''[[Naegling]]''' Use it if you find a need for slashing damage, or need something other than piercing.

[[File:Karambit icon.png|link=]] '''[[Karambit]]''' Use it if, for some reason, you are fighting something that only takes blunt damage while on thief!

==TP Sets==
There are really so many variations of TP sets that one can come up with on thief, especially now with the recently released artifact and relic +4, as well as the Cloud of Darkness HTMB with the "null" accessories. There are a few important things to keep in mind when building your sets.

#You want to be gear haste capped. Always make sure you are getting your maximum haste. When trying to build a set on thief, especially one with 50% DT or close, it is pretty easy to come up 1% short on haste. Complicating this is the fact that Gleti's Knife comes with haste, while Centovente does not, so your needs change based on weapon selection. I personally believe you should be using Centovente 99% of the time and making up any accuracy needs with the appropriate buffs.
#You need 7 Dual Wield when haste capped.
#DT (and meva) matters more than trying to eek out a 0.5% marginal increase in your damage. There are two types of encounters in FFXI today - one where you have a relatively high risk of dying (in which case you DEFINITELY want 50% DT and max Meva etc) and one where you so totally overpower the content that your extra 0.5%,1% or 2% damage is completely irrelevant. (Do you really care if the fight takes 30 seconds instead of 31 seconds?)

What I present here should be used a starting point for customizing your set to your specific needs. Besides the items seen here, other items to consider when building your sets include:

*[[File:Null Loop icon.png|link=]] '''[[Null Loop]]'''
*[[File:Skulk. Culottes +3 icon.png|link=]] '''[[Skulker's Culottes +3]]'''
*[[File:Pill. Culottes +4 icon.png|link=]] '''[[Pillager's Culottes +4]]'''

==WS Sets==

Sets based on the "[https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/57175/all-jobs-damage-simulator-and-gear-sets All Jobs Damage Simulator and Gear Sets]" by Izanami. Some may have been modified slightly based on my own experience. Also, always remember there is generally no single best set for all situations (or even 2 best sets (standard / high attack). Every fight is unique.

Gleti stats shown are Rank 30.
Nyame stats shown are Rank 25.

Thief Guide By Kaius

Kaius: /* Idle and Misc. Sets */

{{Guide}}

==Introduction==

Thief is a versatile DD job capable of producing extremely high burst damage and bringing enmity control abilities, party wide accuracy boosts, and the much renowned treasure hunter for increased item drop rate. For the equipment portion of this guide I will focus on end-game ready options. A section with more starter-friendly alternatives will be added soon.

==Support Jobs==

There's really two viable support jobs for group play today: Warrior and Dragoon. If you are not attack capped, then warrior is going to be very strong by virtue of bringing berserk and offering you a substantial attack gain. Alternatively, and hopefully more commonly, you will be getting to play in a high-buff situation, in which case /DRG and the accompanying WSD traits will be the way to go.

If you are looking to solo, perhaps farming something using your TH, then /DNC can be nice for the self-healing capabilities and of course Spectral Jig for free,easy, and instant sneak/invis.

|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| [[Feint]]
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| Your next attack will greatly reduce an enemy's evasion. Recast: 2min. Increase chance of [[Treasure Hunter]] level up by 25 percent.

|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| Really nice boost in accuracy for you and an entire alliance as it works by reducing enemy evasion. Note that the primary reason to go up to 4 is the synergy with [[Plun. Culottes +3]] for increased potency.

[[File:Mandau (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[ Mandau (Level 119 III)]]''' Widely considered obsolete and not worth investing in for Thief. Could be fun to lockstyle a golden aura.

[[File:Twashtar (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Twashtar (Level 119 III)]]''' The top-tier main-hand outside of a stage 4+ prime. Unlocks the full potential of [[Rudra's Storm]], especially when used with a [[Centovente]] for the massive TP bonus. Highly effective whether you are solo skillchaining with Evis->Rudra->Rudra, or fully buffed simply spamming Rudras.

[[File:Vajra (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Vajra (Level 119 III)]]''' An interesting weapon that still fills some niche applications nicely. At rank 15, Mandalic Stab becomes a decent weapon skill, especially in lower buff situations. The unique weapon skill properties also enable Fusion/Light based skillchains. The mythic aftermath, paired with the proper gear) will allow you to generate TP quite quickly, making this a great choice if you have a need to execute a long, many step skillchain sequence (eg Omen objective). There are certainly many mythic weapons which are more important for their respective jobs than Vajra is for Thief, however.

[[File:Aeneas icon.png|link=]] '''[[Aeneas]]''' If you can easily get an Aeonic clear and don't want to spend the time and/or gil on the Twashtar, this is a decent option for the same playstyle. It comes with a nifty 500 TP bonus in the main-hand, and with the Store TP bonus will yield rapid fire weapon skills and skillchains. As an Aeonic, it of course also allows ultimate skillchains.

[[File:Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III)]]''' A top tier option, but it comes with a very large (3,500,000+ gallimaufry) barrier to entry. If this is your chosen Prime and you do do enough Sortie to support the grind to stage 4 and beyond, then you will be rewarded with an incredible dagger.

[[File:Gleti's Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gleti's Knife]]''' A very potent off-hand, especially at high ranks. Sports an incredible array of useful stats including very high attack, triple attack, subtle blow II, and even 2% haste. With the lack of haste on the [[Reiki Yotai]] this 2% haste is actually quite useful in reaching the gear haste cap on many TP sets. Even with all of those benefits, it is often hard for me to justify using this weapon over the powerful [[Centovente]] -- unless the accuracy demands of the fight require it.

[[File:Crepuscular Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Crepuscular Knife]]''' A hard to obtain, potentially fun toy to play with, but it is hard to find the use-case for this when comparing it to other off-hand options such as [[Centovente]] and [[Gleti's Knife]].

[[File:Centovente icon.png|link=]] '''[[Centovente]]''' The 1000 TP Bonus, when paired with a Twashtar and all of the powerful post Odyssey/Sortie gear make this an absolute monster. The default off-hand option unless the non-item level accuracy becomes a hinderance to gaining TP.

[[File:Tauret icon.png|link=]] '''[[Tauret]]''' Far easier to obtain than the REMAP options, and packs a significant punch. Obviously, [[Evisceration]] becomes your primary weapon skill - and with the proper (crit-focused) gear it can really shine in low-buff situations.

[[File:Gandring icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gandring]]''' This (Path C) is an investment in fun, pure and simple. Being able to pull a pack (or more) of Omen fodder, and watch them all swing and miss you while giving you massive TP for [[Aeolian Edge]] is pure joy. Not really useful for single target dps, not really useful for TH - but it's a blast to use in the right situations.

[[File:Naegling icon.png|link=]] '''[[Naegling]]''' Use it if you find a need for slashing damage, or need something other than piercing.

[[File:Karambit icon.png|link=]] '''[[Karambit]]''' Use it if, for some reason, you are fighting something that only takes blunt damage while on thief!

==TP Sets==
There are really so many variations of TP sets that one can come up with on thief, especially now with the recently released artifact and relic +4, as well as the Cloud of Darkness HTMB with the "null" accessories. There are a few important things to keep in mind when building your sets.

#You want to be gear haste capped. Always make sure you are getting your maximum haste. When trying to build a set on thief, especially one with 50% DT or close, it is pretty easy to come up 1% short on haste. Complicating this is the fact that Gleti's Knife comes with haste, while Centovente does not, so your needs change based on weapon selection. I personally believe you should be using Centovente 99% of the time and making up any accuracy needs with the appropriate buffs.
#You need 7 Dual Wield when haste capped.
#DT (and meva) matters more than trying to eek out a 0.5% marginal increase in your damage. There are two types of encounters in FFXI today - one where you have a relatively high risk of dying (in which case you DEFINITELY want 50% DT and max Meva etc) and one where you so totally overpower the content that your extra 0.5%,1% or 2% damage is completely irrelevant. (Do you really care if the fight takes 30 seconds instead of 31 seconds?)

What I present here should be used a starting point for customizing your set to your specific needs. Besides the items seen here, other items to consider when building your sets include:

*[[File:Null Loop icon.png|link=]] '''[[Null Loop]]'''
*[[File:Skulk. Culottes +3 icon.png|link=]] '''[[Skulker's Culottes +3]]'''
*[[File:Pill. Culottes +4 icon.png|link=]] '''[[Pillager's Culottes +4]]'''

==WS Sets==

Sets based on the "[https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/57175/all-jobs-damage-simulator-and-gear-sets All Jobs Damage Simulator and Gear Sets]" by Izanami. Some may have been modified slightly based on my own experience. Also, always remember there is generally no single best set for all situations (or even 2 best sets (standard / high attack). Every fight is unique.

Gleti stats shown are Rank 30.
Nyame stats shown are Rank 25.

Thief Guide By Kaius

2025-07-25T17:06:08Z

Kaius: /* Introduction */

{{Guide}}

==Introduction==

Thief is a versatile DD job capable of producing extremely high burst damage and bringing enmity control abilities, party wide accuracy boosts, and the much renowned treasure hunter for increased item drop rate. For the equipment portion of this guide I will focus on end-game ready options. A section with more starter-friendly alternatives will be added soon.

==Support Jobs==

There's really two viable support jobs for group play today: Warrior and Dragoon. If you are not attack capped, then warrior is going to be very strong by virtue of bringing berserk and offering you a substantial attack gain. Alternatively, and hopefully more commonly, you will be getting to play in a high-buff situation, in which case /DRG and the accompanying WSD traits will be the way to go.

If you are looking to solo, perhaps farming something using your TH, then /DNC can be nice for the self-healing capabilities and of course Spectral Jig for free,easy, and instant sneak/invis.

==Weapons==
[[File:Mandau (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[ Mandau (Level 119 III)]]''' Widely considered obsolete and not worth investing in for Thief. Could be fun to lockstyle a golden aura.

[[File:Twashtar (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Twashtar (Level 119 III)]]''' The top-tier main-hand outside of a stage 4+ prime. Unlocks the full potential of [[Rudra's Storm]], especially when used with a [[Centovente]] for the massive TP bonus. Highly effective whether you are solo skillchaining with Evis->Rudra->Rudra, or fully buffed simply spamming Rudras.

[[File:Vajra (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Vajra (Level 119 III)]]''' An interesting weapon that still fills some niche applications nicely. At rank 15, Mandalic Stab becomes a decent weapon skill, especially in lower buff situations. The unique weapon skill properties also enable Fusion/Light based skillchains. The mythic aftermath, paired with the proper gear) will allow you to generate TP quite quickly, making this a great choice if you have a need to execute a long, many step skillchain sequence (eg Omen objective). There are certainly many mythic weapons which are more important for their respective jobs than Vajra is for Thief, however.

[[File:Aeneas icon.png|link=]] '''[[Aeneas]]''' If you can easily get an Aeonic clear and don't want to spend the time and/or gil on the Twashtar, this is a decent option for the same playstyle. It comes with a nifty 500 TP bonus in the main-hand, and with the Store TP bonus will yield rapid fire weapon skills and skillchains. As an Aeonic, it of course also allows ultimate skillchains.

[[File:Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III)]]''' A top tier option, but it comes with a very large (3,500,000+ gallimaufry) barrier to entry. If this is your chosen Prime and you do do enough Sortie to support the grind to stage 4 and beyond, then you will be rewarded with an incredible dagger.

[[File:Gleti's Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gleti's Knife]]''' A very potent off-hand, especially at high ranks. Sports an incredible array of useful stats including very high attack, triple attack, subtle blow II, and even 2% haste. With the lack of haste on the [[Reiki Yotai]] this 2% haste is actually quite useful in reaching the gear haste cap on many TP sets. Even with all of those benefits, it is often hard for me to justify using this weapon over the powerful [[Centovente]] -- unless the accuracy demands of the fight require it.

[[File:Crepuscular Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Crepuscular Knife]]''' A hard to obtain, potentially fun toy to play with, but it is hard to find the use-case for this when comparing it to other off-hand options such as [[Centovente]] and [[Gleti's Knife]].

[[File:Centovente icon.png|link=]] '''[[Centovente]]''' The 1000 TP Bonus, when paired with a Twashtar and all of the powerful post Odyssey/Sortie gear make this an absolute monster. The default off-hand option unless the non-item level accuracy becomes a hinderance to gaining TP.

[[File:Tauret icon.png|link=]] '''[[Tauret]]''' Far easier to obtain than the REMAP options, and packs a significant punch. Obviously, [[Evisceration]] becomes your primary weapon skill - and with the proper (crit-focused) gear it can really shine in low-buff situations.

[[File:Gandring icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gandring]]''' This (Path C) is an investment in fun, pure and simple. Being able to pull a pack (or more) of Omen fodder, and watch them all swing and miss you while giving you massive TP for [[Aeolian Edge]] is pure joy. Not really useful for single target dps, not really useful for TH - but it's a blast to use in the right situations.

[[File:Naegling icon.png|link=]] '''[[Naegling]]''' Use it if you find a need for slashing damage, or need something other than piercing.

[[File:Karambit icon.png|link=]] '''[[Karambit]]''' Use it if, for some reason, you are fighting something that only takes blunt damage while on thief!

==TP Sets==
There are really so many variations of TP sets that one can come up with on thief, especially now with the recently released artifact and relic +4, as well as the Cloud of Darkness HTMB with the "null" accessories. There are a few important things to keep in mind when building your sets.

#You want to be gear haste capped. Always make sure you are getting your maximum haste. When trying to build a set on thief, especially one with 50% DT or close, it is pretty easy to come up 1% short on haste. Complicating this is the fact that Gleti's Knife comes with haste, while Centovente does not, so your needs change based on weapon selection. I personally believe you should be using Centovente 99% of the time and making up any accuracy needs with the appropriate buffs.
#You need 7 Dual Wield when haste capped.
#DT (and meva) matters more than trying to eek out a 0.5% marginal increase in your damage. There are two types of encounters in FFXI today - one where you have a relatively high risk of dying (in which case you DEFINITELY want 50% DT and max Meva etc) and one where you so totally overpower the content that your extra 0.5%,1% or 2% damage is completely irrelevant. (Do you really care if the fight takes 30 seconds instead of 31 seconds?)

What I present here should be used a starting point for customizing your set to your specific needs. Besides the items seen here, other items to consider when building your sets include:

*[[File:Null Loop icon.png|link=]] '''[[Null Loop]]'''
*[[File:Skulk. Culottes +3 icon.png|link=]] '''[[Skulker's Culottes +3]]'''
*[[File:Pill. Culottes +4 icon.png|link=]] '''[[Pillager's Culottes +4]]'''
*[[File:Gleti's Gauntlets icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gleti's Gauntlets]]'''
*[[File:Dedition Earring icon.png|link=]] '''[[Dedition Earring]]'''

Thief Guide By Kaius

Kaius: /* TP Sets */

{{Guide}}

==Introduction==

Thief is a versatile DD job capable of producing extremely high burst damage and bringing enmity control abilities, party wide accuracy boosts, and the much renowned treasure hunter for increased item drop rate. For the equipment portion of this guide I will focus on end-game ready options. For Odyssey gear this means I will show Rank 25 options in the sets. It's obviously safe to assume R30 is even better, and usually R20 is almost as good (although there are a few places where R20 is noticeably worse than R25 - such as Gleti's Breeches). Furthermore, I will try to explain what you're looking for in a set and provide some alternatives so that you can have the confidence to mix-and-match as needed, or even experiment on your own.

==Support Jobs==

There's really two viable support jobs for group play today: Warrior and Dragoon. If you are not attack capped, then warrior is going to be very strong by virtue of bringing berserk and offering you a substantial attack gain. Alternatively, and hopefully more commonly, you will be getting to play in a high-buff situation, in which case /DRG and the accompanying WSD traits will be the way to go.

If you are looking to solo, perhaps farming something using your TH, then /DNC can be nice for the self-healing capabilities and of course Spectral Jig for free,easy, and instant sneak/invis.

==Weapons==
[[File:Mandau (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[ Mandau (Level 119 III)]]''' Widely considered obsolete and not worth investing in for Thief. Could be fun to lockstyle a golden aura.

[[File:Twashtar (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Twashtar (Level 119 III)]]''' The top-tier main-hand outside of a stage 4+ prime. Unlocks the full potential of [[Rudra's Storm]], especially when used with a [[Centovente]] for the massive TP bonus. Highly effective whether you are solo skillchaining with Evis->Rudra->Rudra, or fully buffed simply spamming Rudras.

[[File:Vajra (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Vajra (Level 119 III)]]''' An interesting weapon that still fills some niche applications nicely. At rank 15, Mandalic Stab becomes a decent weapon skill, especially in lower buff situations. The unique weapon skill properties also enable Fusion/Light based skillchains. The mythic aftermath, paired with the proper gear) will allow you to generate TP quite quickly, making this a great choice if you have a need to execute a long, many step skillchain sequence (eg Omen objective). There are certainly many mythic weapons which are more important for their respective jobs than Vajra is for Thief, however.

[[File:Aeneas icon.png|link=]] '''[[Aeneas]]''' If you can easily get an Aeonic clear and don't want to spend the time and/or gil on the Twashtar, this is a decent option for the same playstyle. It comes with a nifty 500 TP bonus in the main-hand, and with the Store TP bonus will yield rapid fire weapon skills and skillchains. As an Aeonic, it of course also allows ultimate skillchains.

[[File:Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III)]]''' A top tier option, but it comes with a very large (3,500,000+ gallimaufry) barrier to entry. If this is your chosen Prime and you do do enough Sortie to support the grind to stage 4 and beyond, then you will be rewarded with an incredible dagger.

[[File:Gleti's Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gleti's Knife]]''' A very potent off-hand, especially at high ranks. Sports an incredible array of useful stats including very high attack, triple attack, subtle blow II, and even 2% haste. With the lack of haste on the [[Reiki Yotai]] this 2% haste is actually quite useful in reaching the gear haste cap on many TP sets. Even with all of those benefits, it is often hard for me to justify using this weapon over the powerful [[Centovente]] -- unless the accuracy demands of the fight require it.

[[File:Crepuscular Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Crepuscular Knife]]''' A hard to obtain, potentially fun toy to play with, but it is hard to find the use-case for this when comparing it to other off-hand options such as [[Centovente]] and [[Gleti's Knife]].

[[File:Centovente icon.png|link=]] '''[[Centovente]]''' The 1000 TP Bonus, when paired with a Twashtar and all of the powerful post Odyssey/Sortie gear make this an absolute monster. The default off-hand option unless the non-item level accuracy becomes a hinderance to gaining TP.

[[File:Tauret icon.png|link=]] '''[[Tauret]]''' Far easier to obtain than the REMAP options, and packs a significant punch. Obviously, [[Evisceration]] becomes your primary weapon skill - and with the proper (crit-focused) gear it can really shine in low-buff situations.

[[File:Gandring icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gandring]]''' This (Path C) is an investment in fun, pure and simple. Being able to pull a pack (or more) of Omen fodder, and watch them all swing and miss you while giving you massive TP for [[Aeolian Edge]] is pure joy. Not really useful for single target dps, not really useful for TH - but it's a blast to use in the right situations.

[[File:Naegling icon.png|link=]] '''[[Naegling]]''' Use it if you find a need for slashing damage, or need something other than piercing.

[[File:Karambit icon.png|link=]] '''[[Karambit]]''' Use it if, for some reason, you are fighting something that only takes blunt damage while on thief!

==TP Sets==
There are really so many variations of TP sets that one can come up with on thief, especially now with the recently released artifact and relic +4, as well as the Cloud of Darkness HTMB with the "null" accessories. There are a few important things to keep in mind when building your sets.

#You want to be gear haste capped. Always make sure you are getting your maximum haste. When trying to build a set on thief, especially one with 50% DT or close, it is pretty easy to come up 1% short on haste. Complicating this is the fact that Gleti's Knife comes with haste, while Centovente does not, so your needs change based on weapon selection. I personally believe you should be using Centovente 99% of the time and making up any accuracy needs with the appropriate buffs.
#You need 7 Dual Wield when haste capped.
#DT (and meva) matters more than trying to eek out a 0.5% marginal increase in your damage. There are two types of encounters in FFXI today - one where you have a relatively high risk of dying (in which case you DEFINITELY want 50% DT and max Meva etc) and one where you so totally overpower the content that your extra 0.5%,1% or 2% damage is completely irrelevant. (Do you really care if the fight takes 30 seconds instead of 31 seconds?)

What I present here should be used a starting point for customizing your set to your specific needs. Besides the items seen here, other items to consider when building your sets include:

*[[File:Null Loop icon.png|link=]] '''[[Null Loop]]'''
*[[File:Skulk. Culottes +3 icon.png|link=]] '''[[Skulker's Culottes +3]]'''
*[[File:Pill. Culottes +4 icon.png|link=]] '''[[Pillager's Culottes +4]]'''

*25% Gear Haste, 7 Dual Wield
*Haste cap without the 2% from [[Gleti's Knife]]
*53% PDT, 35% MDT
* Compared to the -DT set on the community guide, this set provides: +1% Haste (making you haste capped with any weapon (!), +28 accuracy, +60 attack, +4 MDef, +15 DEF, +5 Subtle Blow II, +121 HP, +4 DEX, +7 AGI, +5 STR, and 2% chance of triple damage on triple attack, but sacrifices 7 STP, and 25 MEVA. The 1% additional haste is critical, and SBII should not be overlooked.

==WS Sets==

Sets based on the "[https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/57175/all-jobs-damage-simulator-and-gear-sets All Jobs Damage Simulator and Gear Sets]" by Izanami. Some may have been modified slightly based on my own experience. Also, always remember there is generally no single best set for all situations (or even 2 best sets (standard / high attack). Every fight is unique.

Gleti stats shown are Rank 30.
Nyame stats shown are Rank 25.

Thief Guide By Kaius

2025-07-25T16:56:25Z

Kaius: /* TP Sets */

{{Guide}}

==Introduction==

Thief is a versatile DD job capable of producing extremely high burst damage and bringing enmity control abilities, party wide accuracy boosts, and the much renowned treasure hunter for increased item drop rate. For the equipment portion of this guide I will focus on end-game ready options. For Odyssey gear this means I will show Rank 25 options in the sets. It's obviously safe to assume R30 is even better, and usually R20 is almost as good (although there are a few places where R20 is noticeably worse than R25 - such as Gleti's Breeches). Furthermore, I will try to explain what you're looking for in a set and provide some alternatives so that you can have the confidence to mix-and-match as needed, or even experiment on your own.

==Support Jobs==

There's really two viable support jobs for group play today: Warrior and Dragoon. If you are not attack capped, then warrior is going to be very strong by virtue of bringing berserk and offering you a substantial attack gain. Alternatively, and hopefully more commonly, you will be getting to play in a high-buff situation, in which case /DRG and the accompanying WSD traits will be the way to go.

If you are looking to solo, perhaps farming something using your TH, then /DNC can be nice for the self-healing capabilities and of course Spectral Jig for free,easy, and instant sneak/invis.

==Weapons==
[[File:Mandau (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[ Mandau (Level 119 III)]]''' Widely considered obsolete and not worth investing in for Thief. Could be fun to lockstyle a golden aura.

[[File:Twashtar (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Twashtar (Level 119 III)]]''' The top-tier main-hand outside of a stage 4+ prime. Unlocks the full potential of [[Rudra's Storm]], especially when used with a [[Centovente]] for the massive TP bonus. Highly effective whether you are solo skillchaining with Evis->Rudra->Rudra, or fully buffed simply spamming Rudras.

[[File:Vajra (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Vajra (Level 119 III)]]''' An interesting weapon that still fills some niche applications nicely. At rank 15, Mandalic Stab becomes a decent weapon skill, especially in lower buff situations. The unique weapon skill properties also enable Fusion/Light based skillchains. The mythic aftermath, paired with the proper gear) will allow you to generate TP quite quickly, making this a great choice if you have a need to execute a long, many step skillchain sequence (eg Omen objective). There are certainly many mythic weapons which are more important for their respective jobs than Vajra is for Thief, however.

[[File:Aeneas icon.png|link=]] '''[[Aeneas]]''' If you can easily get an Aeonic clear and don't want to spend the time and/or gil on the Twashtar, this is a decent option for the same playstyle. It comes with a nifty 500 TP bonus in the main-hand, and with the Store TP bonus will yield rapid fire weapon skills and skillchains. As an Aeonic, it of course also allows ultimate skillchains.

[[File:Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III)]]''' A top tier option, but it comes with a very large (3,500,000+ gallimaufry) barrier to entry. If this is your chosen Prime and you do do enough Sortie to support the grind to stage 4 and beyond, then you will be rewarded with an incredible dagger.

[[File:Gleti's Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gleti's Knife]]''' A very potent off-hand, especially at high ranks. Sports an incredible array of useful stats including very high attack, triple attack, subtle blow II, and even 2% haste. With the lack of haste on the [[Reiki Yotai]] this 2% haste is actually quite useful in reaching the gear haste cap on many TP sets. Even with all of those benefits, it is often hard for me to justify using this weapon over the powerful [[Centovente]] -- unless the accuracy demands of the fight require it.

[[File:Crepuscular Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Crepuscular Knife]]''' A hard to obtain, potentially fun toy to play with, but it is hard to find the use-case for this when comparing it to other off-hand options such as [[Centovente]] and [[Gleti's Knife]].

[[File:Centovente icon.png|link=]] '''[[Centovente]]''' The 1000 TP Bonus, when paired with a Twashtar and all of the powerful post Odyssey/Sortie gear make this an absolute monster. The default off-hand option unless the non-item level accuracy becomes a hinderance to gaining TP.

[[File:Tauret icon.png|link=]] '''[[Tauret]]''' Far easier to obtain than the REMAP options, and packs a significant punch. Obviously, [[Evisceration]] becomes your primary weapon skill - and with the proper (crit-focused) gear it can really shine in low-buff situations.

[[File:Gandring icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gandring]]''' This (Path C) is an investment in fun, pure and simple. Being able to pull a pack (or more) of Omen fodder, and watch them all swing and miss you while giving you massive TP for [[Aeolian Edge]] is pure joy. Not really useful for single target dps, not really useful for TH - but it's a blast to use in the right situations.

[[File:Naegling icon.png|link=]] '''[[Naegling]]''' Use it if you find a need for slashing damage, or need something other than piercing.

[[File:Karambit icon.png|link=]] '''[[Karambit]]''' Use it if, for some reason, you are fighting something that only takes blunt damage while on thief!

==TP Sets==
There are really so many variations of TP sets that one can come up with on thief, especially now with the recently released artifact and relic +4, as well as the Cloud of Darkness HTMB with the "null" accessories. There are a few important things to keep in mind when building your sets.

#You want to be gear haste capped. Always make sure you are getting your maximum haste. When trying to build a set on thief, especially one with 50% DT or close, it is pretty easy to come up 1% short on haste. Complicating this is the fact that Gleti's Knife comes with haste, while Centovente does not, so your needs change based on weapon selection. I personally believe you should be using Centovente 99% of the time and making up any accuracy needs with the appropriate buffs.
#You need 7 Dual Wield when haste capped.
#DT (and meva) matters more than trying to eek out a 0.5% marginal increase in your damage. There are two types of encounters in FFXI today - one where you have a relatively high risk of dying (in which case you DEFINITELY want 50% DT and max Meva etc) and one where you so totally overpower the content that your extra 0.5%,1% or 2% damage is completely irrelevant. (Do you really care if the fight takes 30 seconds instead of 31 seconds?)

What I present here should be used a starting point for customizing your set to your specific needs. Besides the items seen here, other items to consider when building your sets include:

* [[Null Loop]]
* [[Skulker's Culottes +3]]
* [[Pillager's Culottes +4]]
* [[Gleti's Gauntlets]]
* [[Dedition Earring]]

The 1% additional haste is critical, and SBII should not be overlooked.

==WS Sets==

Sets based on the "[https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/57175/all-jobs-damage-simulator-and-gear-sets All Jobs Damage Simulator and Gear Sets]" by Izanami. Some may have been modified slightly based on my own experience. Also, always remember there is generally no single best set for all situations (or even 2 best sets (standard / high attack). Every fight is unique.

Gleti stats shown are Rank 30.
Nyame stats shown are Rank 25.

Thief Guide By Kaius

2025-07-25T16:55:14Z

Kaius: /* Support Jobs */

{{Guide}}

==Introduction==

Thief is a versatile DD job capable of producing extremely high burst damage and bringing enmity control abilities, party wide accuracy boosts, and the much renowned treasure hunter for increased item drop rate. For the equipment portion of this guide I will focus on end-game ready options. For Odyssey gear this means I will show Rank 25 options in the sets. It's obviously safe to assume R30 is even better, and usually R20 is almost as good (although there are a few places where R20 is noticeably worse than R25 - such as Gleti's Breeches). Furthermore, I will try to explain what you're looking for in a set and provide some alternatives so that you can have the confidence to mix-and-match as needed, or even experiment on your own.

==Support Jobs==

There's really two viable support jobs for group play today: Warrior and Dragoon. If you are not attack capped, then warrior is going to be very strong by virtue of bringing berserk and offering you a substantial attack gain. Alternatively, and hopefully more commonly, you will be getting to play in a high-buff situation, in which case /DRG and the accompanying WSD traits will be the way to go.

If you are looking to solo, perhaps farming something using your TH, then /DNC can be nice for the self-healing capabilities and of course Spectral Jig for free,easy, and instant sneak/invis.

==Weapons==
[[File:Mandau (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[ Mandau (Level 119 III)]]''' Widely considered obsolete and not worth investing in for Thief. Could be fun to lockstyle a golden aura.

[[File:Twashtar (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Twashtar (Level 119 III)]]''' The top-tier main-hand outside of a stage 4+ prime. Unlocks the full potential of [[Rudra's Storm]], especially when used with a [[Centovente]] for the massive TP bonus. Highly effective whether you are solo skillchaining with Evis->Rudra->Rudra, or fully buffed simply spamming Rudras.

[[File:Vajra (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Vajra (Level 119 III)]]''' An interesting weapon that still fills some niche applications nicely. At rank 15, Mandalic Stab becomes a decent weapon skill, especially in lower buff situations. The unique weapon skill properties also enable Fusion/Light based skillchains. The mythic aftermath, paired with the proper gear) will allow you to generate TP quite quickly, making this a great choice if you have a need to execute a long, many step skillchain sequence (eg Omen objective). There are certainly many mythic weapons which are more important for their respective jobs than Vajra is for Thief, however.

[[File:Aeneas icon.png|link=]] '''[[Aeneas]]''' If you can easily get an Aeonic clear and don't want to spend the time and/or gil on the Twashtar, this is a decent option for the same playstyle. It comes with a nifty 500 TP bonus in the main-hand, and with the Store TP bonus will yield rapid fire weapon skills and skillchains. As an Aeonic, it of course also allows ultimate skillchains.

[[File:Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III)]]''' A top tier option, but it comes with a very large (3,500,000+ gallimaufry) barrier to entry. If this is your chosen Prime and you do do enough Sortie to support the grind to stage 4 and beyond, then you will be rewarded with an incredible dagger.

[[File:Gleti's Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gleti's Knife]]''' A very potent off-hand, especially at high ranks. Sports an incredible array of useful stats including very high attack, triple attack, subtle blow II, and even 2% haste. With the lack of haste on the [[Reiki Yotai]] this 2% haste is actually quite useful in reaching the gear haste cap on many TP sets. Even with all of those benefits, it is often hard for me to justify using this weapon over the powerful [[Centovente]] -- unless the accuracy demands of the fight require it.

[[File:Crepuscular Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Crepuscular Knife]]''' A hard to obtain, potentially fun toy to play with, but it is hard to find the use-case for this when comparing it to other off-hand options such as [[Centovente]] and [[Gleti's Knife]].

[[File:Centovente icon.png|link=]] '''[[Centovente]]''' The 1000 TP Bonus, when paired with a Twashtar and all of the powerful post Odyssey/Sortie gear make this an absolute monster. The default off-hand option unless the non-item level accuracy becomes a hinderance to gaining TP.

[[File:Tauret icon.png|link=]] '''[[Tauret]]''' Far easier to obtain than the REMAP options, and packs a significant punch. Obviously, [[Evisceration]] becomes your primary weapon skill - and with the proper (crit-focused) gear it can really shine in low-buff situations.

[[File:Gandring icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gandring]]''' This (Path C) is an investment in fun, pure and simple. Being able to pull a pack (or more) of Omen fodder, and watch them all swing and miss you while giving you massive TP for [[Aeolian Edge]] is pure joy. Not really useful for single target dps, not really useful for TH - but it's a blast to use in the right situations.

[[File:Naegling icon.png|link=]] '''[[Naegling]]''' Use it if you find a need for slashing damage, or need something other than piercing.

[[File:Karambit icon.png|link=]] '''[[Karambit]]''' Use it if, for some reason, you are fighting something that only takes blunt damage while on thief!

==TP Sets==
There are really so many variations of TP sets that one can come up with on thief, especially now with the recently released artifact and relic +4, as well as the Cloud of Darkness HTMB with the "null" accessories. There are a few important things to keep in mind when building your sets.

#You want to be gear haste capped. Always make sure you are getting your maximum haste. When trying to build a set on thief, especially one with 50% DT or close, it is pretty easy to come up 1% short on haste. Complicating this is the fact that Gleti's Knife comes with haste, while Centovente does not, so your needs change based on weapon selection. I personally believe you should be using Centovente 99% of the time and making up any accuracy needs with the appropriate buffs.
#You need 7 Dual Wield when haste capped.
#DT (and meva) matters more than trying to eek out a 0.5% marginal increase in your damage. There are two types of encounters in FFXI today - one where you have a relatively high risk of dying (in which case you DEFINITELY want 50% DT and max Meva etc) and one where you so totally overpower the content that your extra 0.5%,1% or 2% damage is completely irrelevant. (Do you really care if the fight takes 30 seconds instead of 31 seconds?)

What I present here should be used a starting point for customizing your set to your specific needs. Besides the items seen here, other items to consider when building your sets include:

* Null Loop
* Skulker's Culottes +3
* Pillager's Culottes +4
* Gleti's Gauntlets
* Dedition Earring

==WS Sets==

Sets based on the "[https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/57175/all-jobs-damage-simulator-and-gear-sets All Jobs Damage Simulator and Gear Sets]" by Izanami. Some may have been modified slightly based on my own experience. Also, always remember there is generally no single best set for all situations (or even 2 best sets (standard / high attack). Every fight is unique.

Gleti stats shown are Rank 30.
Nyame stats shown are Rank 25.

Thief Guide By Kaius

Kaius: /* WS Sets */

{{Guide}}

==Introduction==

Thief is a versatile DD job capable of producing extremely high burst damage and bringing enmity control abilities, party wide accuracy boosts, and the much renowned treasure hunter for increased item drop rate. For the equipment portion of this guide I will focus on end-game ready options. For Odyssey gear this means I will show Rank 25 options in the sets. It's obviously safe to assume R30 is even better, and usually R20 is almost as good (although there are a few places where R20 is noticeably worse than R25 - such as Gleti's Breeches). Furthermore, I will try to explain what you're looking for in a set and provide some alternatives so that you can have the confidence to mix-and-match as needed, or even experiment on your own.

==Weapons==
[[File:Mandau (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[ Mandau (Level 119 III)]]''' Widely considered obsolete and not worth investing in for Thief. Could be fun to lockstyle a golden aura.

[[File:Twashtar (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Twashtar (Level 119 III)]]''' The top-tier main-hand outside of a stage 4+ prime. Unlocks the full potential of [[Rudra's Storm]], especially when used with a [[Centovente]] for the massive TP bonus. Highly effective whether you are solo skillchaining with Evis->Rudra->Rudra, or fully buffed simply spamming Rudras.

[[File:Vajra (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Vajra (Level 119 III)]]''' An interesting weapon that still fills some niche applications nicely. At rank 15, Mandalic Stab becomes a decent weapon skill, especially in lower buff situations. The unique weapon skill properties also enable Fusion/Light based skillchains. The mythic aftermath, paired with the proper gear) will allow you to generate TP quite quickly, making this a great choice if you have a need to execute a long, many step skillchain sequence (eg Omen objective). There are certainly many mythic weapons which are more important for their respective jobs than Vajra is for Thief, however.

[[File:Aeneas icon.png|link=]] '''[[Aeneas]]''' If you can easily get an Aeonic clear and don't want to spend the time and/or gil on the Twashtar, this is a decent option for the same playstyle. It comes with a nifty 500 TP bonus in the main-hand, and with the Store TP bonus will yield rapid fire weapon skills and skillchains. As an Aeonic, it of course also allows ultimate skillchains.

[[File:Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III)]]''' A top tier option, but it comes with a very large (3,500,000+ gallimaufry) barrier to entry. If this is your chosen Prime and you do do enough Sortie to support the grind to stage 4 and beyond, then you will be rewarded with an incredible dagger.

[[File:Gleti's Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gleti's Knife]]''' A very potent off-hand, especially at high ranks. Sports an incredible array of useful stats including very high attack, triple attack, subtle blow II, and even 2% haste. With the lack of haste on the [[Reiki Yotai]] this 2% haste is actually quite useful in reaching the gear haste cap on many TP sets. Even with all of those benefits, it is often hard for me to justify using this weapon over the powerful [[Centovente]] -- unless the accuracy demands of the fight require it.

[[File:Crepuscular Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Crepuscular Knife]]''' A hard to obtain, potentially fun toy to play with, but it is hard to find the use-case for this when comparing it to other off-hand options such as [[Centovente]] and [[Gleti's Knife]].

[[File:Centovente icon.png|link=]] '''[[Centovente]]''' The 1000 TP Bonus, when paired with a Twashtar and all of the powerful post Odyssey/Sortie gear make this an absolute monster. The default off-hand option unless the non-item level accuracy becomes a hinderance to gaining TP.

[[File:Tauret icon.png|link=]] '''[[Tauret]]''' Far easier to obtain than the REMAP options, and packs a significant punch. Obviously, [[Evisceration]] becomes your primary weapon skill - and with the proper (crit-focused) gear it can really shine in low-buff situations.

[[File:Gandring icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gandring]]''' This (Path C) is an investment in fun, pure and simple. Being able to pull a pack (or more) of Omen fodder, and watch them all swing and miss you while giving you massive TP for [[Aeolian Edge]] is pure joy. Not really useful for single target dps, not really useful for TH - but it's a blast to use in the right situations.

[[File:Naegling icon.png|link=]] '''[[Naegling]]''' Use it if you find a need for slashing damage, or need something other than piercing.

[[File:Karambit icon.png|link=]] '''[[Karambit]]''' Use it if, for some reason, you are fighting something that only takes blunt damage while on thief!

==TP Sets==
There are really so many variations of TP sets that one can come up with on thief, especially now with the recently released artifact and relic +4, as well as the Cloud of Darkness HTMB with the "null" accessories. There are a few important things to keep in mind when building your sets.

#You want to be gear haste capped. Always make sure you are getting your maximum haste. When trying to build a set on thief, especially one with 50% DT or close, it is pretty easy to come up 1% short on haste. Complicating this is the fact that Gleti's Knife comes with haste, while Centovente does not, so your needs change based on weapon selection. I personally believe you should be using Centovente 99% of the time and making up any accuracy needs with the appropriate buffs.
#You need 7 Dual Wield when haste capped.
#DT (and meva) matters more than trying to eek out a 0.5% marginal increase in your damage. There are two types of encounters in FFXI today - one where you have a relatively high risk of dying (in which case you DEFINITELY want 50% DT and max Meva etc) and one where you so totally overpower the content that your extra 0.5%,1% or 2% damage is completely irrelevant. (Do you really care if the fight takes 30 seconds instead of 31 seconds?)

What I present here should be used a starting point for customizing your set to your specific needs. Besides the items seen here, other items to consider when building your sets include:

* Null Loop
* Skulker's Culottes +3
* Pillager's Culottes +4
* Gleti's Gauntlets
* Dedition Earring

Thief Guide By Kaius

Kaius: /* TP Sets */

{{Guide}}

==Introduction==

Thief is a versatile DD job capable of producing extremely high burst damage and bringing enmity control abilities, party wide accuracy boosts, and the much renowned treasure hunter for increased item drop rate. For the equipment portion of this guide I will focus on end-game ready options. For Odyssey gear this means I will show Rank 25 options in the sets. It's obviously safe to assume R30 is even better, and usually R20 is almost as good (although there are a few places where R20 is noticeably worse than R25 - such as Gleti's Breeches). Furthermore, I will try to explain what you're looking for in a set and provide some alternatives so that you can have the confidence to mix-and-match as needed, or even experiment on your own.

==Weapons==
[[File:Mandau (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[ Mandau (Level 119 III)]]''' Widely considered obsolete and not worth investing in for Thief. Could be fun to lockstyle a golden aura.

[[File:Twashtar (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Twashtar (Level 119 III)]]''' The top-tier main-hand outside of a stage 4+ prime. Unlocks the full potential of [[Rudra's Storm]], especially when used with a [[Centovente]] for the massive TP bonus. Highly effective whether you are solo skillchaining with Evis->Rudra->Rudra, or fully buffed simply spamming Rudras.

[[File:Vajra (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Vajra (Level 119 III)]]''' An interesting weapon that still fills some niche applications nicely. At rank 15, Mandalic Stab becomes a decent weapon skill, especially in lower buff situations. The unique weapon skill properties also enable Fusion/Light based skillchains. The mythic aftermath, paired with the proper gear) will allow you to generate TP quite quickly, making this a great choice if you have a need to execute a long, many step skillchain sequence (eg Omen objective). There are certainly many mythic weapons which are more important for their respective jobs than Vajra is for Thief, however.

[[File:Aeneas icon.png|link=]] '''[[Aeneas]]''' If you can easily get an Aeonic clear and don't want to spend the time and/or gil on the Twashtar, this is a decent option for the same playstyle. It comes with a nifty 500 TP bonus in the main-hand, and with the Store TP bonus will yield rapid fire weapon skills and skillchains. As an Aeonic, it of course also allows ultimate skillchains.

[[File:Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III)]]''' A top tier option, but it comes with a very large (3,500,000+ gallimaufry) barrier to entry. If this is your chosen Prime and you do do enough Sortie to support the grind to stage 4 and beyond, then you will be rewarded with an incredible dagger.

[[File:Gleti's Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gleti's Knife]]''' A very potent off-hand, especially at high ranks. Sports an incredible array of useful stats including very high attack, triple attack, subtle blow II, and even 2% haste. With the lack of haste on the [[Reiki Yotai]] this 2% haste is actually quite useful in reaching the gear haste cap on many TP sets. Even with all of those benefits, it is often hard for me to justify using this weapon over the powerful [[Centovente]] -- unless the accuracy demands of the fight require it.

[[File:Crepuscular Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Crepuscular Knife]]''' A hard to obtain, potentially fun toy to play with, but it is hard to find the use-case for this when comparing it to other off-hand options such as [[Centovente]] and [[Gleti's Knife]].

[[File:Centovente icon.png|link=]] '''[[Centovente]]''' The 1000 TP Bonus, when paired with a Twashtar and all of the powerful post Odyssey/Sortie gear make this an absolute monster. The default off-hand option unless the non-item level accuracy becomes a hinderance to gaining TP.

[[File:Tauret icon.png|link=]] '''[[Tauret]]''' Far easier to obtain than the REMAP options, and packs a significant punch. Obviously, [[Evisceration]] becomes your primary weapon skill - and with the proper (crit-focused) gear it can really shine in low-buff situations.

[[File:Gandring icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gandring]]''' This (Path C) is an investment in fun, pure and simple. Being able to pull a pack (or more) of Omen fodder, and watch them all swing and miss you while giving you massive TP for [[Aeolian Edge]] is pure joy. Not really useful for single target dps, not really useful for TH - but it's a blast to use in the right situations.

[[File:Naegling icon.png|link=]] '''[[Naegling]]''' Use it if you find a need for slashing damage, or need something other than piercing.

[[File:Karambit icon.png|link=]] '''[[Karambit]]''' Use it if, for some reason, you are fighting something that only takes blunt damage while on thief!

==TP Sets==
There are really so many variations of TP sets that one can come up with on thief, especially now with the recently released artifact and relic +4, as well as the Cloud of Darkness HTMB with the "null" accessories. There are a few important things to keep in mind when building your sets.

#You want to be gear haste capped. Always make sure you are getting your maximum haste. When trying to build a set on thief, especially one with 50% DT or close, it is pretty easy to come up 1% short on haste. Complicating this is the fact that Gleti's Knife comes with haste, while Centovente does not, so your needs change based on weapon selection. I personally believe you should be using Centovente 99% of the time and making up any accuracy needs with the appropriate buffs.
#You need 7 Dual Wield when haste capped.
#DT (and meva) matters more than trying to eek out a 0.5% marginal increase in your damage. There are two types of encounters in FFXI today - one where you have a relatively high risk of dying (in which case you DEFINITELY want 50% DT and max Meva etc) and one where you so totally overpower the content that your extra 0.5%,1% or 2% damage is completely irrelevant. (Do you really care if the fight takes 30 seconds instead of 31 seconds?)

What I present here should be used a starting point for customizing your set to your specific needs. Besides the items seen here, other items to consider when building your sets include:

* Null Loop
* Skulker's Culottes +3
* Pillager's Culottes +4
* Gleti's Gauntlets
* Dedition Earring

Some may have been modified slightly based on my own experience. Also, always remember there is generally no single best set for all situations (or even 2 best sets (standard / high attack).

Thief Guide By Kaius

Kaius: /* TP Sets */

{{Guide}}

==Introduction==

Thief is a versatile DD job capable of producing extremely high burst damage and bringing enmity control abilities, party wide accuracy boosts, and the much renowned treasure hunter for increased item drop rate. For the equipment portion of this guide I will focus on end-game ready options. For Odyssey gear this means I will show Rank 25 options in the sets. It's obviously safe to assume R30 is even better, and usually R20 is almost as good (although there are a few places where R20 is noticeably worse than R25 - such as Gleti's Breeches). Furthermore, I will try to explain what you're looking for in a set and provide some alternatives so that you can have the confidence to mix-and-match as needed, or even experiment on your own.

==Weapons==
[[File:Mandau (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[ Mandau (Level 119 III)]]''' Widely considered obsolete and not worth investing in for Thief. Could be fun to lockstyle a golden aura.

[[File:Twashtar (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Twashtar (Level 119 III)]]''' The top-tier main-hand outside of a stage 4+ prime. Unlocks the full potential of [[Rudra's Storm]], especially when used with a [[Centovente]] for the massive TP bonus. Highly effective whether you are solo skillchaining with Evis->Rudra->Rudra, or fully buffed simply spamming Rudras.

[[File:Vajra (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Vajra (Level 119 III)]]''' An interesting weapon that still fills some niche applications nicely. At rank 15, Mandalic Stab becomes a decent weapon skill, especially in lower buff situations. The unique weapon skill properties also enable Fusion/Light based skillchains. The mythic aftermath, paired with the proper gear) will allow you to generate TP quite quickly, making this a great choice if you have a need to execute a long, many step skillchain sequence (eg Omen objective). There are certainly many mythic weapons which are more important for their respective jobs than Vajra is for Thief, however.

[[File:Aeneas icon.png|link=]] '''[[Aeneas]]''' If you can easily get an Aeonic clear and don't want to spend the time and/or gil on the Twashtar, this is a decent option for the same playstyle. It comes with a nifty 500 TP bonus in the main-hand, and with the Store TP bonus will yield rapid fire weapon skills and skillchains. As an Aeonic, it of course also allows ultimate skillchains.

[[File:Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III)]]''' A top tier option, but it comes with a very large (3,500,000+ gallimaufry) barrier to entry. If this is your chosen Prime and you do do enough Sortie to support the grind to stage 4 and beyond, then you will be rewarded with an incredible dagger.

[[File:Gleti's Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gleti's Knife]]''' A very potent off-hand, especially at high ranks. Sports an incredible array of useful stats including very high attack, triple attack, subtle blow II, and even 2% haste. With the lack of haste on the [[Reiki Yotai]] this 2% haste is actually quite useful in reaching the gear haste cap on many TP sets. Even with all of those benefits, it is often hard for me to justify using this weapon over the powerful [[Centovente]] -- unless the accuracy demands of the fight require it.

[[File:Crepuscular Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Crepuscular Knife]]''' A hard to obtain, potentially fun toy to play with, but it is hard to find the use-case for this when comparing it to other off-hand options such as [[Centovente]] and [[Gleti's Knife]].

[[File:Centovente icon.png|link=]] '''[[Centovente]]''' The 1000 TP Bonus, when paired with a Twashtar and all of the powerful post Odyssey/Sortie gear make this an absolute monster. The default off-hand option unless the non-item level accuracy becomes a hinderance to gaining TP.

[[File:Tauret icon.png|link=]] '''[[Tauret]]''' Far easier to obtain than the REMAP options, and packs a significant punch. Obviously, [[Evisceration]] becomes your primary weapon skill - and with the proper (crit-focused) gear it can really shine in low-buff situations.

[[File:Gandring icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gandring]]''' This (Path C) is an investment in fun, pure and simple. Being able to pull a pack (or more) of Omen fodder, and watch them all swing and miss you while giving you massive TP for [[Aeolian Edge]] is pure joy. Not really useful for single target dps, not really useful for TH - but it's a blast to use in the right situations.

[[File:Naegling icon.png|link=]] '''[[Naegling]]''' Use it if you find a need for slashing damage, or need something other than piercing.

[[File:Karambit icon.png|link=]] '''[[Karambit]]''' Use it if, for some reason, you are fighting something that only takes blunt damage while on thief!

==TP Sets==
There are really so many variations of TP sets that one can come up with on thief, especially now with the recently released artifact and relic +4, as well as the Cloud of Darkness HTMB with the "null" accessories. There are a few important things to keep in mind when building your sets.

#You want to be gear haste capped. Always make sure you are getting your maximum haste. When trying to build a set on thief, especially one with 50% DT or close, it is pretty easy to come up 1% short on haste. Complicating this is the fact that Gleti's Knife comes with haste, while Centovente does not, so your needs change based on weapon selection. I personally believe you should be using Centovente 99% of the time and making up any accuracy needs with the appropriate buffs.
#You need 7 Dual Wield when haste capped.
#DT (and meva) matters more than trying to eek out a 0.5% marginal increase in your damage. There are two types of encounters in FFXI today - one where you have a relatively high risk of dying (in which case you DEFINITELY want 50% DT and max Meva etc) and one where you so totally overpower the content that your extra 0.5%,1% or 2% damage is completely irrelevant. (Do you really care if the fight takes 30 seconds instead of 31 seconds?)

What I present here should be used a starting point for customizing your set to your specific needs. Besides the items seen here, other items to consider when building your sets include:

* Null Loop
* Skulker's Culottes +3
* Pillager's Culottes +4
* Gleti's Gauntlets

*25% Gear Haste, 7 Dual Wield
*Haste cap without the 2% from [[Gleti's Knife]]
*53% PDT, 35% MDT
* Compared to the -DT set on the community guide, this set provides: +1% Haste (making you haste capped with any weapon (!), +28 accuracy, +60 attack, +4 MDef, +15 DEF, +5 Subtle Blow II, +121 HP, +4 DEX, +7 AGI, +5 STR, and 2% chance of triple damage on triple attack, but sacrifices 7 STP, and 25 MEVA. The 1% additional haste is critical, and SBII should not be overlooked.

==WS Sets==

Sets based on the "[https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/57175/all-jobs-damage-simulator-and-gear-sets All Jobs Damage Simulator and Gear Sets]" by Izanami. Some may have been modified slightly based on my own experience. Also, always remember there is generally no single best set for all situations (or even 2 best sets (standard / high attack). Every fight is unique.

Thief Guide By Kaius

Kaius: /* Job-Specific Armor */

{{Guide}}

==Introduction==

Thief is a versatile DD job capable of producing extremely high burst damage and bringing enmity control abilities, party wide accuracy boosts, and the much renowned treasure hunter for increased item drop rate. For the equipment portion of this guide I will focus on end-game ready options. For Odyssey gear this means I will show Rank 25 options in the sets. It's obviously safe to assume R30 is even better, and usually R20 is almost as good (although there are a few places where R20 is noticeably worse than R25 - such as Gleti's Breeches). Furthermore, I will try to explain what you're looking for in a set and provide some alternatives so that you can have the confidence to mix-and-match as needed, or even experiment on your own.

|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| Really nice boost in accuracy for you and an entire alliance as it works by reducing enemy evasion. Note that the primary reason to go up to 4 is the synergy with [[Plun. Culottes +3]] for increased potency.

==Weapons==
[[File:Mandau (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[ Mandau (Level 119 III)]]''' Widely considered obsolete and not worth investing in for Thief. Could be fun to lockstyle a golden aura.

[[File:Twashtar (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Twashtar (Level 119 III)]]''' The top-tier main-hand outside of a stage 4+ prime. Unlocks the full potential of [[Rudra's Storm]], especially when used with a [[Centovente]] for the massive TP bonus. Highly effective whether you are solo skillchaining with Evis->Rudra->Rudra, or fully buffed simply spamming Rudras.

[[File:Vajra (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Vajra (Level 119 III)]]''' An interesting weapon that still fills some niche applications nicely. At rank 15, Mandalic Stab becomes a decent weapon skill, especially in lower buff situations. The unique weapon skill properties also enable Fusion/Light based skillchains. The mythic aftermath, paired with the proper gear) will allow you to generate TP quite quickly, making this a great choice if you have a need to execute a long, many step skillchain sequence (eg Omen objective). There are certainly many mythic weapons which are more important for their respective jobs than Vajra is for Thief, however.

[[File:Aeneas icon.png|link=]] '''[[Aeneas]]''' If you can easily get an Aeonic clear and don't want to spend the time and/or gil on the Twashtar, this is a decent option for the same playstyle. It comes with a nifty 500 TP bonus in the main-hand, and with the Store TP bonus will yield rapid fire weapon skills and skillchains. As an Aeonic, it of course also allows ultimate skillchains.

[[File:Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III)]]''' A top tier option, but it comes with a very large (3,500,000+ gallimaufry) barrier to entry. If this is your chosen Prime and you do do enough Sortie to support the grind to stage 4 and beyond, then you will be rewarded with an incredible dagger.

[[File:Gleti's Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gleti's Knife]]''' A very potent off-hand, especially at high ranks. Sports an incredible array of useful stats including very high attack, triple attack, subtle blow II, and even 2% haste. With the lack of haste on the [[Reiki Yotai]] this 2% haste is actually quite useful in reaching the gear haste cap on many TP sets. Even with all of those benefits, it is often hard for me to justify using this weapon over the powerful [[Centovente]] -- unless the accuracy demands of the fight require it.

[[File:Crepuscular Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Crepuscular Knife]]''' A hard to obtain, potentially fun toy to play with, but it is hard to find the use-case for this when comparing it to other off-hand options such as [[Centovente]] and [[Gleti's Knife]].

[[File:Centovente icon.png|link=]] '''[[Centovente]]''' The 1000 TP Bonus, when paired with a Twashtar and all of the powerful post Odyssey/Sortie gear make this an absolute monster. The default off-hand option unless the non-item level accuracy becomes a hinderance to gaining TP.

[[File:Tauret icon.png|link=]] '''[[Tauret]]''' Far easier to obtain than the REMAP options, and packs a significant punch. Obviously, [[Evisceration]] becomes your primary weapon skill - and with the proper (crit-focused) gear it can really shine in low-buff situations.

[[File:Gandring icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gandring]]''' This (Path C) is an investment in fun, pure and simple. Being able to pull a pack (or more) of Omen fodder, and watch them all swing and miss you while giving you massive TP for [[Aeolian Edge]] is pure joy. Not really useful for single target dps, not really useful for TH - but it's a blast to use in the right situations.

[[File:Naegling icon.png|link=]] '''[[Naegling]]''' Use it if you find a need for slashing damage, or need something other than piercing.

[[File:Karambit icon.png|link=]] '''[[Karambit]]''' Use it if, for some reason, you are fighting something that only takes blunt damage while on thief!

* Compared to the -DT set on the community guide, this set provides: +1% Haste (making you haste capped with any weapon (!), +28 accuracy, +60 attack, +4 MDef, +15 DEF, +5 Subtle Blow II, +121 HP, +4 DEX, +7 AGI, +5 STR, and 2% chance of triple damage on triple attack, but sacrifices 7 STP, and 25 MEVA. The 1% additional haste is critical, and SBII should not be overlooked.

==WS Sets==

Sets based on the "[https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/57175/all-jobs-damage-simulator-and-gear-sets All Jobs Damage Simulator and Gear Sets]" by Izanami. Some may have been modified slightly based on my own experience. Also, always remember there is generally no single best set for all situations (or even 2 best sets (standard / high attack). Every fight is unique.

Thief Guide By Kaius

Kaius: /* Job-Specific Armor */

{{Guide}}

==Introduction==

Thief is a versatile DD job capable of producing extremely high burst damage and bringing enmity control abilities, party wide accuracy boosts, and the much renowned treasure hunter for increased item drop rate. For the equipment portion of this guide I will focus on end-game ready options. For Odyssey gear this means I will show Rank 25 options in the sets. It's obviously safe to assume R30 is even better, and usually R20 is almost as good (although there are a few places where R20 is noticeably worse than R25 - such as Gleti's Breeches). Furthermore, I will try to explain what you're looking for in a set and provide some alternatives so that you can have the confidence to mix-and-match as needed, or even experiment on your own.

==Weapons==
[[File:Mandau (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[ Mandau (Level 119 III)]]''' Widely considered obsolete and not worth investing in for Thief. Could be fun to lockstyle a golden aura.

[[File:Twashtar (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Twashtar (Level 119 III)]]''' The top-tier main-hand outside of a stage 4+ prime. Unlocks the full potential of [[Rudra's Storm]], especially when used with a [[Centovente]] for the massive TP bonus. Highly effective whether you are solo skillchaining with Evis->Rudra->Rudra, or fully buffed simply spamming Rudras.

[[File:Vajra (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Vajra (Level 119 III)]]''' An interesting weapon that still fills some niche applications nicely. At rank 15, Mandalic Stab becomes a decent weapon skill, especially in lower buff situations. The unique weapon skill properties also enable Fusion/Light based skillchains. The mythic aftermath, paired with the proper gear) will allow you to generate TP quite quickly, making this a great choice if you have a need to execute a long, many step skillchain sequence (eg Omen objective). There are certainly many mythic weapons which are more important for their respective jobs than Vajra is for Thief, however.

[[File:Aeneas icon.png|link=]] '''[[Aeneas]]''' If you can easily get an Aeonic clear and don't want to spend the time and/or gil on the Twashtar, this is a decent option for the same playstyle. It comes with a nifty 500 TP bonus in the main-hand, and with the Store TP bonus will yield rapid fire weapon skills and skillchains. As an Aeonic, it of course also allows ultimate skillchains.

[[File:Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III)]]''' A top tier option, but it comes with a very large (3,500,000+ gallimaufry) barrier to entry. If this is your chosen Prime and you do do enough Sortie to support the grind to stage 4 and beyond, then you will be rewarded with an incredible dagger.

[[File:Gleti's Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gleti's Knife]]''' A very potent off-hand, especially at high ranks. Sports an incredible array of useful stats including very high attack, triple attack, subtle blow II, and even 2% haste. With the lack of haste on the [[Reiki Yotai]] this 2% haste is actually quite useful in reaching the gear haste cap on many TP sets. Even with all of those benefits, it is often hard for me to justify using this weapon over the powerful [[Centovente]] -- unless the accuracy demands of the fight require it.

[[File:Crepuscular Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Crepuscular Knife]]''' A hard to obtain, potentially fun toy to play with, but it is hard to find the use-case for this when comparing it to other off-hand options such as [[Centovente]] and [[Gleti's Knife]].

[[File:Centovente icon.png|link=]] '''[[Centovente]]''' The 1000 TP Bonus, when paired with a Twashtar and all of the powerful post Odyssey/Sortie gear make this an absolute monster. The default off-hand option unless the non-item level accuracy becomes a hinderance to gaining TP.

[[File:Tauret icon.png|link=]] '''[[Tauret]]''' Far easier to obtain than the REMAP options, and packs a significant punch. Obviously, [[Evisceration]] becomes your primary weapon skill - and with the proper (crit-focused) gear it can really shine in low-buff situations.

[[File:Gandring icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gandring]]''' This (Path C) is an investment in fun, pure and simple. Being able to pull a pack (or more) of Omen fodder, and watch them all swing and miss you while giving you massive TP for [[Aeolian Edge]] is pure joy. Not really useful for single target dps, not really useful for TH - but it's a blast to use in the right situations.

[[File:Naegling icon.png|link=]] '''[[Naegling]]''' Use it if you find a need for slashing damage, or need something other than piercing.

[[File:Karambit icon.png|link=]] '''[[Karambit]]''' Use it if, for some reason, you are fighting something that only takes blunt damage while on thief!

==WS Sets==

Sets based on the "[https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/57175/all-jobs-damage-simulator-and-gear-sets All Jobs Damage Simulator and Gear Sets]" by Izanami. Some may have been modified slightly based on my own experience. Also, always remember there is generally no single best set for all situations (or even 2 best sets (standard / high attack). Every fight is unique.

Thief Guide By Kaius

2025-07-25T16:24:57Z

Kaius: /* WS Sets */

{{Guide}}

==Introduction==

Thief is a versatile DD job capable of producing extremely high burst damage and bringing enmity control abilities, party wide accuracy boosts, and the much renowned treasure hunter for increased item drop rate. For the equipment portion of this guide I will focus on end-game ready options. For Odyssey gear this means I will show Rank 25 options in the sets. It's obviously safe to assume R30 is even better, and usually R20 is almost as good (although there are a few places where R20 is noticeably worse than R25 - such as Gleti's Breeches). Furthermore, I will try to explain what you're looking for in a set and provide some alternatives so that you can have the confidence to mix-and-match as needed, or even experiment on your own.

|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| Your next attack will greatly reduce an enemy's evasion. Recast: 2min. Increase chance of [[Treasure Hunter]] level up by 25 percent.
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| 4
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| Really nice boost in accuracy for you and an entire alliance as it works by reducing enemy evasion. Note that the primary reason to go up to 4 is the synergy with [[Plun. Culottes +3]] for increased potency.
|-

==Weapons==
[[File:Mandau (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[ Mandau (Level 119 III)]]''' Widely considered obsolete and not worth investing in for Thief. Could be fun to lockstyle a golden aura.

[[File:Twashtar (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Twashtar (Level 119 III)]]''' The top-tier main-hand outside of a stage 4+ prime. Unlocks the full potential of [[Rudra's Storm]], especially when used with a [[Centovente]] for the massive TP bonus. Highly effective whether you are solo skillchaining with Evis->Rudra->Rudra, or fully buffed simply spamming Rudras.

[[File:Vajra (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Vajra (Level 119 III)]]''' An interesting weapon that still fills some niche applications nicely. At rank 15, Mandalic Stab becomes a decent weapon skill, especially in lower buff situations. The unique weapon skill properties also enable Fusion/Light based skillchains. The mythic aftermath, paired with the proper gear) will allow you to generate TP quite quickly, making this a great choice if you have a need to execute a long, many step skillchain sequence (eg Omen objective). There are certainly many mythic weapons which are more important for their respective jobs than Vajra is for Thief, however.

[[File:Aeneas icon.png|link=]] '''[[Aeneas]]''' If you can easily get an Aeonic clear and don't want to spend the time and/or gil on the Twashtar, this is a decent option for the same playstyle. It comes with a nifty 500 TP bonus in the main-hand, and with the Store TP bonus will yield rapid fire weapon skills and skillchains. As an Aeonic, it of course also allows ultimate skillchains.

[[File:Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Mpu Gandring (Level 119 III)]]''' A top tier option, but it comes with a very large (3,500,000+ gallimaufry) barrier to entry. If this is your chosen Prime and you do do enough Sortie to support the grind to stage 4 and beyond, then you will be rewarded with an incredible dagger.

[[File:Gleti's Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gleti's Knife]]''' A very potent off-hand, especially at high ranks. Sports an incredible array of useful stats including very high attack, triple attack, subtle blow II, and even 2% haste. With the lack of haste on the [[Reiki Yotai]] this 2% haste is actually quite useful in reaching the gear haste cap on many TP sets. Even with all of those benefits, it is often hard for me to justify using this weapon over the powerful [[Centovente]] -- unless the accuracy demands of the fight require it.

[[File:Crepuscular Knife icon.png|link=]] '''[[Crepuscular Knife]]''' A hard to obtain, potentially fun toy to play with, but it is hard to find the use-case for this when comparing it to other off-hand options such as [[Centovente]] and [[Gleti's Knife]].

[[File:Centovente icon.png|link=]] '''[[Centovente]]''' The 1000 TP Bonus, when paired with a Twashtar and all of the powerful post Odyssey/Sortie gear make this an absolute monster. The default off-hand option unless the non-item level accuracy becomes a hinderance to gaining TP.

[[File:Tauret icon.png|link=]] '''[[Tauret]]''' Far easier to obtain than the REMAP options, and packs a significant punch. Obviously, [[Evisceration]] becomes your primary weapon skill - and with the proper (crit-focused) gear it can really shine in low-buff situations.

[[File:Gandring icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gandring]]''' This (Path C) is an investment in fun, pure and simple. Being able to pull a pack (or more) of Omen fodder, and watch them all swing and miss you while giving you massive TP for [[Aeolian Edge]] is pure joy. Not really useful for single target dps, not really useful for TH - but it's a blast to use in the right situations.

[[File:Naegling icon.png|link=]] '''[[Naegling]]''' Use it if you find a need for slashing damage, or need something other than piercing.

[[File:Karambit icon.png|link=]] '''[[Karambit]]''' Use it if, for some reason, you are fighting something that only takes blunt damage while on thief!

|Intro Text=
'''Ballista''' is one of the forms of [[Conflict]], or PvP, in Final Fantasy XI. 
With the wave of patriotism sweeping Vana'diel, the decision was made to reintroduce Conflict as a form of friendly rivalry between the three nations.

Ballista is based upon San d'Oria military training exercises that involves participants digging up small stones called Petras to toss into goals called Rooks scattered around the battlefield.

Ballista and its successor '''[[Brenner]]''', are most often an event where players enter to test certain spells or abilities for game mechanic research. [[Ballista]] and Brenner are long-forgotten by Square Enix. As a result, both events are extremely imbalanced for recreational PvP due to a lack of any updates. Which can make for enjoying them as a serious side activity somewhat difficult. For example, [[Quick Draw]] with modern equipment will just KO players.
}}
==Obtaining the License==
The prerequisite for a Ballista license is Rank 3 in your current nation. You do not need to re-obtain your license if you switch nations. Complete the following mini-quest
* While reserving the custom match area [[Diorama Abdhaljs-Ghelsba]] from [[Tillecoe]] requires the Ballista License, other players can participate even if they do not have it.

To obtain your license, complete the following steps:
* Speak with your nation's '''Conflict Director'''. They are:
::'''Bastok''' - [[Invincible Shield]] - [[Metalworks]] - G-8
::*You will receive the [[Letter to the San. Conflict Cmd. (Bastok)]] & [[Letter to the Win. Conflict Cmd. (Bastok)]]
::'''San d'Oria''' - [[Excenmille]] - [[Northern San d'Oria]] - D-9
::*You will receive the [[Letter to the Bas. Conflict Cmd. (San d'Oria)]] & [[Letter to the Win. Conflict Cmd. (San d'Oria)]]
::'''Windurst''' - [[Mhabi Molkot]] - [[Heavens Tower]], next to the reception desk
::*You will receive the [[Letter to the San. Conflict Cmd. (Windurst)]] & [[Letter to the Bas. Conflict Cmd. (Windurst)]]

Ballista follows a set schedule according to the Vana'diel calendar. Matches alternate between areas, nations participation, and level cap according to the calendar on the right. The entry day for each match proceeds as follows:
*'''12:00 (Initial Period)''' - Entry period opens for adventurers of nations scheduled to fight who did not fight in the previous match.
*'''16:00 (Guest Period)''' -Entry period opens for adventurers of nations scheduled to fight who fought in the previous match.
*'''18:00 (Open Entry)''' - Entry period opens for anyone to fight. Adventurers are automatically placed on the nation with the least number of players.
*'''22:00''' - Entries are closed, except under special conditions.

To travel to an upcoming Ballista match quickly, speak to a Pursuviant. Their locations are:
* Northern San d'Oria - K-9
* Port Bastok - J-12
* Windurst Waters - J-9
* Ru'Lude Gardens - I-8
* Aht Urhgan Whitegate - G-11
If you have a [[Ballista Instaport]] or at least 200 Ballista Points, and the match has not yet started, the Pursuviant will offer you the option of teleporting to the match.

Once at the match location, talk to the Herald to sign up for Ballista. A participation fee is required upon signing up; the fee varies according to level:
:'''Lv. 30''' - 500 gil
:'''Lv. 40''' - 1000 gil
:'''Lv. 50''' - 1500 gil
:'''Lv. 60''' - 2000 gil
:'''Unrestricted''' - 3000 gil

At 22:00, all participating adventurers will line up facing each other and the Herald will conduct the opening ceremony. Once the opening ceremony has concluded, all players will automatically gain the effects of [[Sneak (Status)]] and [[Invisible (Status)]] to allow for both teams to get into an appropriate position. At 0:00, the match will begin and Sneak and Invisible will wear off.

==Playing the Match==
The main objective of Ballista is to '''/quarry''' for Petras in order to toss them into the Rooks scattered around the battlefield. Note that /quarry is not always successful at this; it may either dig up a temporary item, a Petra, or nothing at all.
Petras may be found anywhere on the battlefield, but your chances of digging up one will increase the more distant from a Rook you are. However, /quarry's success rate is also affected by the current score; members of the winning team will have a lower probability of finding a Petra.

In order to score, you must first gain '''Gate Breach'''. Gate Breach can be accomplished by either killing another player, or being in the immediate vicinity of a kill. The latter does not work if you are not in a party; it is recommended to party up both in order to keep track of your teammates' health and to gain Gate Breach easier.

Once you have gained Gate Breach, you must now find a Rook to toss the Petras in. The location of the nearest Rook can be found by using '''/scout'''. The act of scoring can be interrupted by any number of actions (both beneficial and hostile), so be sure to have a clear shot at a Rook. You may score up to five Petras at a time, with each Petra counting as one point. If a majority of the opposing team has left the battle area, however, all Rooks' gates will open, allowing anyone to score without gaining Gate Breach

If you have managed to successfully score for your team, Gate Breach status will be disengaged and you must regain it again before being able to score. The first petra you attempt to score will have an extra 3-5 second delay before throwing it into the rook. From there on, even if your shot is canceled, your throwing time will be shortened to around 5 seconds. This will be reset if you go back to camp or zone, but being revived will not reset this.

No experience points loss is incurred for being K.O.'d in Ballista. If you are knocked out, you will automatically be revived within a certain amount of time determined by the number of times you have died without returning to camp. Each death carries a +5 second penalty to waiting for revival (with the timer initially starting at 15 seconds); this revival timer has no maximum limit. Once you are revived, you will be at 100% HP, 50% MP, and 50% TP. Additionally, you will be considered as "preparing for battle" and unable to attack or be attacked.
*Alternatively, you may choose to return to camp and reset the revival timer while spawning at 100% HP and MP. In either case, you will lose all accumulated Petras; the only way to retain Petras after K.O. is to be [[Raise|Raised]] and suffer its associated [[Weakness|Weakened]] state.
*If you are K.O.'ed, lose connection, and reconnect after the match has concluded, the "Return to Camp" option will change to "Return to Home Point"; no experience loss is incurred if you Home Point as a result of dying during a Ballista match.

At 0:00, the match will conclude, and the team who has scored the most Petras will be declared the winner. In a Best of 3 match, the point award for the third match is equal to winning two matches, so the losing team has a chance to force a draw.

==Rewards==
Rewards in Ballista come in the form of [[Experience Points]], [[Gil]], [[Ballista Points]], and Ballista Ranking.
===Experience Points===

All adventurers who have actively participated in Ballista are awarded the appropriate amount of experience points corresponding to their level during Ballista.
* Level 30-39: 300 EXP
* Level 40-49: 350 EXP
* Level 50-59: 400 EXP
* Level 60-74: 450 EXP
* Level 75: 500 EXP
===Gil===
The gil reward is equal to double the participation fee. If the match is a draw, both teams will get their gil refunded. The losing team gets nothing.
===Ballista Points===
Ballista Points are awarded after each match, up to a maximum of 2000. These points are used to reserve access to the Dioramas, purchase item vouchers, and teleport to upcoming Ballista matches.
===Ballista Ranking===

Players can sign up for Ballista Ranking by talking to the Marshal in the area after a match.
*Players who have not registered will not be considered in the ranking.
*After a match, players have 4 Vana’diel hours (about 10 minutes Earth time) to register their results.
*The ranking list cannot be viewed during the registration period.
*After the registration period has ended, you must view the ranking list within 4 Vana’diel days (4 hours Earth time) to receive your final assessment and any rewards you have earned.
You can view the entire Ballista Ranking by speaking to the Marshal in [[Ru'Lude Gardens]]. However, as this Marshal may not have the most current data, players wishing to see the latest rankings are advised to talk to the Marshals stationed in each Ballista area. 
====Chevrons====
Chevrons are awarded to the top scorer for each job. A player can check the number of chevrons accumulated to date by talking to a Marshal. Also, /checking other players during a match will reveal the total number of chevrons they have received.

Chevrons have the following caveats:
* Chevrons are only valid for one week Earth time. After that, the player must return the chevron in order to participate in future Ballista matches.
* Players may only wear one chevron at a time. If a player qualifies for more than one chevron, a decision must be made as to which chevron to receive. A player may, however, refuse to receive a chevron.

The title granted according to the chevron awarded varies:

==Battle Alterations==
A number of adjustments have been made to keep Conflict (and by extension Ballista) play reasonably balanced.

===Job Abilities===
The following job abilities are altered:
*'''Provoke''' prevents the victim from targeting anyone except the provoker for a short time. Provoke also effectively prevents the victim from casting self-targeting spells, such as Utsusemi.
*'''Steal''' and '''Mug''' steal Petras (if there are any) from the target.
*'''Charm''', '''Gauge''', and '''Tame''' have no effect whatsoever.
*'''Flee''' duration is extended.
===Melee===
*Maximum melee range is increased to allow for hitting opponents who are running away.
*Weapon Skill damage is reduced.

===Magic===
*Players gradually build a resistance to most enfeebling magic, as well as Lullaby.
*Sleep is limited to a 45-second duration.
*Magic damage is reduced.

===Commands===
The following commands are only available during Ballista:
*'''/quarry''' - Dig for Petras or items. /quarry's behavior varies according to what Ballista Key Items you have in your possession.
*'''/targetopp''' - targets closest member of opposing nation within range.
*'''/sprint''' - Grants Flee-like speed for a set amount of time. You cannot use /sprint if you are holding a Petra.
*'''/scout''' - Reveals the location of the nearest Rook. You cannot use /scout if you are not carrying any Petras.
*'''<petra>''' reveals how many Petras you are holding
*'''<gatebreach>''' reveals if you are affected by Gate Breach status or not.
The following commands are altered during Ballista:
*'''/linkshell''' - sends a message to all members on your team.

===Interaction===
The following actions are prohibited:
*Fishing
*Chocobo interaction
*Using bazaars (or trading) of non-participants or the opposing team
*NPC interaction, other than the normal Ballista NPCs
Additionally, all non-participants and monsters will become invisible to the participants during the match; however, /say, /shout, and /tell are unrestricted.

===Other===
*Resist traits are greatly enhanced.
*AoE magic and weapon skills will only hit those within the same party or alliance as the target.
*[[Wide Scan]] can be used by any job to find everyone on your nation's team.
*Equipment changing is discouraged. '''Penalty''' is automatically inflicted for a couple of seconds when you change any piece of equipment. '''Penalty''' effectively acts as a combination of [[Bind (Status)|Bind]] and [[Stun (Status)|Stun]]. You may still /quarry while Penalized.
:*Swapping ammo is allowed, unequipping ammo is penalized.
*Skill points and Blue Magic spells may not be obtained during Ballista, with the exception of [[Enhancing Magic]] skill from spells cast on yourself.
*The Conflict system was designed during the level 75 era. While the combat system adjustments still apply, the increase in level cap, item level gear, Job Points, and Master Levels can lead to wide variations in player performance. This can be entertaining, but for this reason, the community which exists around Ballista will typically make use of the level restriction for a more consistent experience. Be sure to prepare accordingly in such cases.

==Items==
A number of items have been developed for use with Ballista, both in the form of [[Key Items]] and [[Temporary Items]]. The following can be purchased or obtained for free from a [[Pursuivant]].

===Key Items===
*'''[[Ballista Band]]''' - Gives the option of keeping or discarding the first Petra dug up.
*'''[[Ballista Earring]]''' - Gives information about upcoming matches once per Vana'diel day when the wearer zones into an area where a Pursuviant is present. Also gives hints and tips during the match.
*'''[[Ballista Instaport]]''' - Teleports you to an upcoming match after speaking to a Pursuviant.
*'''[[Ballista Instawarp]]''' - Transports you to your Home Point after speaking to a Pursuviant.
*'''[[Petra Shovel]]''' - All temporary items dug up are automatically put into your inventory without any prompt. If your temporary item inventory is full, the item dug up will be automatically discarded.
===Temporary Items===
All players receive 10 temporary items at the start of a match 15 if normal item use is restricted. Players may optionally buy items from a Marshal. The items that can be bought are listed below.

Dragoon Guide By Kaius

2025-07-04T21:52:46Z

Kaius: /* Job-Specific Armor */

{{Guide}}

==Introduction==
Dragoon is a heavy-ish DD job capable of producing some of the highest damage output in the game in some situations. The job has a fast-paced playstyle due to the arsenal of low cooldown job abilities it comes equipped with. As a Dragoon you also have a best friend / pet wyvern to accompany you throughout Vana'diel. Your wyvern is what drives your damage output by providing you with 20% attack, 20% defense, 10% Job Ability Haste, 10% Weapon Skill Damage, and 15% Double Attack. It is essential that you understand your [[Wyvern (Dragoon Pet)]] in order to maintain those benefits and be successful as a Dragoon. For the equipment portion of this guide I will focus on end-game ready options. For Odyssey gear this means I will show Rank 25 options in the sets. It's obviously safe to assume R30 is even better, and usually R20 is almost as good (although there are a few places where R20 is noticeably worse than R25 - such as Gleti's Breeches). Furthermore, I will try to explain what you're looking for in a set and provide some alternatives so that you can have the confidence to mix-and-match as needed, or even experiment on your own.

==Support Jobs==
There are four main jobs which can all be a viable support job selection for a Dragoon, depending upon the engagement.

[[File:Wakido Kabuto icon.png|link=]] '''[[Samurai]]'''
*[[Hasso]] - Capped equipment haste (25%), capped magic haste (43.75%), and 10% job ability haste from the wyvern puts you at 78.75% haste. Hasso provides an additional 10% job ability haste, pushing us over the 80% total cap (88.75%). That last 1.25% may seem insignificant but it ends up being a big deal because of the nature of haste - "As delay goes 0, dps goes to infinity". Additionally, there may be times where you want to use a gear set with less than 25% haste - Hasso will allow you the flexibility to do so by making up the difference with extra job ability haste - specifically you can shed 8.75% equipment haste (keeping 16.25%) if you maintain magic haste cap, Hasso, and wyvern.

*[[Store TP]] - Grants Store TP III which yields +20 STP
*[[Zanshin]] - Grants Zanshin III which provides 35% chance to attack again immediately after missing a target.
*[[Sekkanoki]] - Limits TP cost of next weapon skill to 1000.
*[[Warding Circle]] - Makes you and your party do 5% more damage to, and take 5% less damage from demons.

The primary benefit of /SAM is an increased rate of TP generation via the additional haste received from Hasso, and the additional 20 Store TP. Faster TP leads to more frequent weapon skills and more damage. Importantly, Hasso can be maintained with 100% uptime. This makes it ideal for situations where your damage output needs are constant over a long period - such as Odyssey C where you are basically constantly engaged for 30 minutes.

[[File:Ignominy Burgeonet icon.png|link=]] '''[[Dark Knight]]'''
*[[Last Resort]] - A 3 minute duration, 5 minute cooldown buff that gives 25% attack and 15% job ability haste buffs - at the cost of a 25% defense down penalty on yourself.
*[[Weapon Bash]] - On demand stun
*[[Souleater]] - Some additional auto-attack damage at the cost of self-inflicted damage.
*[[Arcane Circle]] - Makes you and your party do 5% more damage to, and take 5% less damage from arcana.

The primary benefit of /DRK is Last Resort which also closes the final 1.25% haste gap, while also providing a huge attack boost. However, it is important to note that Last Resort will not have 100% uptime, and you do not have the additional store tp provided by /SAM. The nature of Last Resort lends itself to situations where you may engage a target in combat for 1-3 minutes and then have a long period without combat before engaging in another battle. (read: Sortie bosses). In this case, Last Resort is always up when you need it and it's cooling down while you run between fights.

[[File:Pummeler's Mask icon.png|link=]] '''[[Warrior]]'''
*[[Fencer]] - +200-300 TP bonus makes Savage Blade (and Judgment) shine.
*[[Double Attack]] - Grants Double Attack II which yields +10% double attack.
*[[Berserk]] - 25% increased attack with 60% uptime.
*[[Aggressor]] - A boost of 25 accuracy, also with 60% uptime. Hopefully not needed, but nice when it is.
*[[Warcry]] - A percentage based attack boost for the whole party with 30 second duration. Always welcome buff.
*[[Provoke]] - A little enmity utility for emergencies.

The War support job's most important contribution is Fencer. (Fencer I until master level 45, then Fencer II). Fencer provides either +200 or +300 TP bonus and either +3% or +5% crit when single wielding. For better or worse, a Dragoon wielding a [[Naegling]] is a force to be reckoned with, and Fencer amplifies this effect. The additional attack provided by Berserk and Warcry are always welcome as well. When properly geared and executed /WAR is exceptionally powerful in Odyssey C as TP can be generated very quickly via jumps, and a single [[Savage Blade]] from a DRG/WAR will kill a fodder mob on any floor. Even outside of Odyssey there are certain fights where a Savage Blade only strategy is called for, and DRG/WAR will be very powerful in those situations.

[[File:Maxixi Tiara icon.png|link=]] '''[[Dancer]]'''
*[[Dual Wield]] II - The main attraction here - access to an offhand weapon for Dragoon - typically only used if you have access to a [[Kraken Club]].
*[[Box Step]] - Can add a little bit of defense down if no one else is there to apply the same class of debuff for you. More likely you will be killing too quick to need it (eg seg run), or someone else will be applying defense down.
*[[Curing Waltz III]] - Some very solid utility. At the rate you generate tp as /DNC with a [[Kraken Club]] you can easily afford to use some TP for emergency curing.
*[[Healing Waltz]] - Always handy to be able to erase yourself when the healer is occupied, there isn't a healer, and/or you want to save yourself 20,000 gil using a panacea.
*[[Chocobo Jig]] - Who doesn't love running a little faster?
*[[Subtle Blow II]] - Nice little bonus when you are smacking things with your [[Kraken Club]]

The Dancer support job is used primarily by owners of the infamous [[Kraken Club]] with the goal of firing off [[Savage Blade]] as rapidly as possible. You may wonder about the /NIN option, especially if you have experience with other jobs where /NIN is commonly used for Dual Wield. For those other jobs, one of the main benefits of /NIN is access to [[Dual Wield]] III compared to /DNC's [[Dual Wield]] II. Jobs like Red Mage and Bard need the extra 10% delay reduction from /NIN to get to a place where they need only 11% Dual Wield on gear to achieve the delay reduction cap of 80%. Dragoon, however, comes with 10% Job Ability haste by virtue of it's [[Wyvern (Dragoon Pet)]] which more than makes up for the difference in Dual Wield. Here are two full calculations showing how Dragoon achieves the 80% delay reduction limit with /DNC, assuming maximum magic haste, and gear haste of of 25% or 23%.

*25% Gear Haste => '''(1 - 0.15 Dual Wield) × (1024 - 256 Equipment Haste - 448 Magic Haste - 101 Job Ability Haste) ÷ 1024 = 0.1817 [18.2% Delay remaining === 81.8% Delay reduction]'''
*23% Gear Haste => '''(1 - 0.15 Dual Wield) × (1024 - 235 Equipment Haste - 448 Magic Haste - 101 Job Ability Haste) ÷ 1024 = 0.1992 [19.9% Delay remaining === 80.1% Delay reduction]'''

Accordingly, you only need 23% gear haste and ZERO +Dual Wield on gear to achieve maximum attack speed. In fact, adding dual wield would actually lower your TP gained per swing. For the same reason, /NIN will actually reduce your TP rate compared to /DNC, and should only be used if for some reason you have a critical need to be a dual wielding [[Dragoon]] with [[Utsusemi: Ni]].

==Weapons==
[[File:Gungnir (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gungnir (Level 119 III)]]''' Opens up access to [[Geirskogul]], DRG's only weapon skill with the ({{color|ice|Distor}}{{color|water|tion}}) property. May find niche uses, but will most likely want to prioritize other REMAP options.

[[File:Rhongomiant (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Rhongomiant (Level 119 III)]]''' A strong option for low-buff situations when you can really take advantage of [[Camlann's Torment]] defense ignoring properties.

[[File:Ryunohige (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Ryunohige (Level 119 III)]]''' Considered to be a high quality option (at or better than Trishula) when sufficiently geared and spamming [[Drakesbane]] in a fully buffed zerg situation.

[[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] '''[[Trishula]]''' The bread-and-butter option. Relatively easy to obtain with very high damage potential. Works well either in a party/raid zerg situation or solo self-skillchaining.

[[File:Gae Buide (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gae Buide (Level 119 III)]]''' The top tier option, but it comes with a very large barrier to entry. If this is your chosen Prime and you do do enough Sortie to support the grind to stage 4 and beyond, then you will be rewarded with an incredible polearm.

[[File:Shining One icon.png|link=]] '''[[Shining One]]''' Even easier to obtain than Trishula and can be very competitive with the REMAP options. Damage from [[Impulse Drive]] scales well with WSD and crit.

[[File:Aram icon.png|link=]] '''[[Aram]]''' If you find yourself needing a full subtle blow kit on Dragoon then Path B will be the way to go. It simply won't compete with the other polearms on damage, however.

[[File:Naegling icon.png|link=]] '''[[Naegling]]''' Love it or hate it, it's likely here to stay. Dragoon's tp generation and weapon skill damage potential are a lethal combination with a Naegling equipped. Really shines in segment runs where your main goal is kill each target in a single weapon skill. Dragoon does only come with a C- Sword rating so accuracy may be a concern, especially at low to medium master levels. Also always useful for those fights where everyone is using Savage Blade in order to avoid skillchaining.

[[File:Mafic Cudgel icon.png|link=]] '''[[Mafic Cudgel]]''' The only club option. Use it to slap skeletons in Odyssey C.

==Job-Specific Armor==

Note: The augments on Relic pieces, and some special attributes (eg Ancient Circle +1) are available at the base 119 version of the item. If the piece is only used for this purpose, then you do not need to fully upgrade the item to +3 to gain those effects. The recommendations in "Upgrade?" box refer to my personal opinion on whether the item should go all the way to +3.

Limbus update: The items now shown at +4 are the ones I would take to +4 or consider taking to +4.

==Engaged Sets==

The goal of any engaged or "TP" set on Dragoon is to generate TP as quickly as possible '''(while not dying - and not letting your wyvern die!)''' in order to reach 1000 TP and be able to perform a weapon skill. The most important thing you can do as a damage dealer is stay alive - and so having the proper amount of defensive stats in your engaged set is paramount. Besides staying alive, the next two most important aspects to any engaged set are accuracy and haste. Much like your defensive needs, your accuracy needs will vary widely depending on exactly what you are fighting. In my opinion most (if not all) accuracy issues should try to remedied by 1. Higher master levels 2. Using the appropriate buffs and/or debuffs (BRD/GEO/COR/RDM) 3. Food. Note that any additional accuracy beyond the amount needed to reach the 95% cap is wasted.

Haste is the other critical component of a TP set, and you always want to come as close to the overall delay-reduction cap of 80% as possible, regardless of the encounter. Dragoon is in a unique position when it comes to haste due to the effects granted by the [[Wyvern (Dragoon Pet)]] - specifically 10% Job Ability (JA) Haste - and the ability to still obtain additional JA Haste via a support job (either [[Hasso]] or [[Last Resort]]). Most commonly, you will likely be /SAM, and have [[Hasso]] with 100% uptime providing an additional 10% JA haste - this means that you need only 17% gear haste to reach the overall 80% delay reduction with full magic haste. With /DRK and [[Last Resort]] giving 15% JA haste, the amount needed on gear falls even lower (but only during Last Resort). With all of that said, the sets provided in this guide (other than /DNC) still prioritize reaching the 25% gear haste cap for the simple reason that support jobs are not available in one of the two main components of end-game content - Odyssey Sheol Gaol.

Once you have achieved the necessary levels of gear haste for your support job and enough accuracy to reach the cap, you can begin looking to maximize your Store TP and Multi-Hit (double/triple/quad attack).

For these I don't want to lose acc. 2. All other content. For these, we are so vastly overpowering the content anyway, who cares if Dedition is 0.37% better in terms of theory craft.

==Weapon Skill Sets==
Weapon skill sets (except Diarmuid and Leg Sweep) are borrowed from the "[https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/57175/all-jobs-damage-simulator-and-gear-sets All Jobs Damage Simulator and Gear Sets]" created by Izanami. These sets are generated by his python simulator and have proven quite reliable and accurate in my experience. It is worth noting that some sets here include the [[Rigorous Grip +1]], however since you can't switch grips when using a weapon skill I would suggest that [[Utu Grip]] is the default full time option on meaningful content. The 30 accuracy and 70 hp is likely more valuable than a small weapon skill damage increase, unless you are 100% certain you are accuracy capped. Like all things FFXI, you can and should adapt the situation at hand and the gear at your disposal. (Including fitting in your chosen TVR Ring, and slotting in your [[Pel. Earring +2]] -- if you are so lucky)

Note: Use the 'Expand' link at the bottom of each section for more information about the sets.

==Job Ability Sets==

A quick note on these sets - it is possible to min/max some of these even further by including extremely niche pieces which will provide only negligibly increased utility. At this point in the game, I find myself weighing the benefits of an item against the inventory space needed to hold on to it. As such I choose not include things like "Acro" gear in the breath sets. Besides the inventory space, it is possible to be hit while activating a job ability or other breath, and I would argue that maintaining proper DT levels/MEVA throughout these sets is more important than eeking out a few dozen dps, or getting an extra 50 hp on your Steady Wing. Of course feel free to customize as needed. Check out [[User:Tatang|Tatang's page]] for even more comprehensive sets.

==Starter Gear==

Rather than try to create specific sets of gear for various levels of progression, I think it will be more beneficial to provide optimal sets to work toward paired with explanations of what to look for in each set - the "why" behind the set - and then let each player mix and match from their own gear to create gear sets that work for their current level of progression. Here I will try to show items for each slot which may be of use to up and coming Dragoons working toward the sets shown above.

One thing to note - I would urge any new player, or anyone looking to gear a Dragoon from zero to prioritize [[Sortie]] as much as possible. Getting 50,000 Gallimaufry and obtaining 5/5 Empyrean +2 will do more for you than almost anything else. The base stats (str/dex/meva/mdef/attack/acc) on all these items is very high compared to anything else you can reasonably obtain quickly. Even if you end up choosing to use some pieces where other (more geared) players may not (for example using [[Pelt. Cuissots +3]] in your TP set) you will likely be in great shape to while you continue building up your collection of other items.

==Skillchains==

Here are some common self skillchain sequences a Dragoon can execute. [[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] denotates the need of Trishula to continue the Skillchain.

*[[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] Stardiver → [[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] Stardiver = {{color|dark|Darkness}}
*Stardiver → Sonic Thrust = {{color|ice|Distor}}{{color|water|tion}} → Stardiver = '''Darkness''' → [[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] Stardiver = {{color|dark|Umbra}}
*Penta Thrust → Stardiver = {{color|light|Transfixion}} → Sonic Thrust = {{color|ice|Distor}}{{color|water|tion}} → Stardiver = {{color|dark|Darkness}} → [[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] Stardiver = {{color|dark|Umbra}}
*Stardiver → Camlann's Torment = {{color|lightning|Fragmen}}{{color|wind|tation}} → Drakesbane = {{color|light|Light}} → Camlann's Torment = {{color|light|Light}} ([[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] creates {{color|light|Radiance}} instead of double light)
*Stardiver → Sonic Thrust = {{color|ice|Distor}}{{color|water|tion}} → Drakesbane = {{color|fire|Fus}}{{color|light|ion}} → Stardiver = {{color|dark|Gravi}}{{color|earth|tation}} → Camlann's Torment = {{color|lightning|Fragmen}}{{color|wind|tation}} → Drakesbane = {{color|light|Light}} → Camlann's Torment = {{color|light|Light}}

Dragoon Guide By Kaius

2025-07-04T21:45:17Z

Kaius: /* Weapon Skill Sets */

{{Guide}}

==Introduction==
Dragoon is a heavy-ish DD job capable of producing some of the highest damage output in the game in some situations. The job has a fast-paced playstyle due to the arsenal of low cooldown job abilities it comes equipped with. As a Dragoon you also have a best friend / pet wyvern to accompany you throughout Vana'diel. Your wyvern is what drives your damage output by providing you with 20% attack, 20% defense, 10% Job Ability Haste, 10% Weapon Skill Damage, and 15% Double Attack. It is essential that you understand your [[Wyvern (Dragoon Pet)]] in order to maintain those benefits and be successful as a Dragoon. For the equipment portion of this guide I will focus on end-game ready options. For Odyssey gear this means I will show Rank 25 options in the sets. It's obviously safe to assume R30 is even better, and usually R20 is almost as good (although there are a few places where R20 is noticeably worse than R25 - such as Gleti's Breeches). Furthermore, I will try to explain what you're looking for in a set and provide some alternatives so that you can have the confidence to mix-and-match as needed, or even experiment on your own.

==Support Jobs==
There are four main jobs which can all be a viable support job selection for a Dragoon, depending upon the engagement.

[[File:Wakido Kabuto icon.png|link=]] '''[[Samurai]]'''
*[[Hasso]] - Capped equipment haste (25%), capped magic haste (43.75%), and 10% job ability haste from the wyvern puts you at 78.75% haste. Hasso provides an additional 10% job ability haste, pushing us over the 80% total cap (88.75%). That last 1.25% may seem insignificant but it ends up being a big deal because of the nature of haste - "As delay goes 0, dps goes to infinity". Additionally, there may be times where you want to use a gear set with less than 25% haste - Hasso will allow you the flexibility to do so by making up the difference with extra job ability haste - specifically you can shed 8.75% equipment haste (keeping 16.25%) if you maintain magic haste cap, Hasso, and wyvern.

*[[Store TP]] - Grants Store TP III which yields +20 STP
*[[Zanshin]] - Grants Zanshin III which provides 35% chance to attack again immediately after missing a target.
*[[Sekkanoki]] - Limits TP cost of next weapon skill to 1000.
*[[Warding Circle]] - Makes you and your party do 5% more damage to, and take 5% less damage from demons.

The primary benefit of /SAM is an increased rate of TP generation via the additional haste received from Hasso, and the additional 20 Store TP. Faster TP leads to more frequent weapon skills and more damage. Importantly, Hasso can be maintained with 100% uptime. This makes it ideal for situations where your damage output needs are constant over a long period - such as Odyssey C where you are basically constantly engaged for 30 minutes.

[[File:Ignominy Burgeonet icon.png|link=]] '''[[Dark Knight]]'''
*[[Last Resort]] - A 3 minute duration, 5 minute cooldown buff that gives 25% attack and 15% job ability haste buffs - at the cost of a 25% defense down penalty on yourself.
*[[Weapon Bash]] - On demand stun
*[[Souleater]] - Some additional auto-attack damage at the cost of self-inflicted damage.
*[[Arcane Circle]] - Makes you and your party do 5% more damage to, and take 5% less damage from arcana.

The primary benefit of /DRK is Last Resort which also closes the final 1.25% haste gap, while also providing a huge attack boost. However, it is important to note that Last Resort will not have 100% uptime, and you do not have the additional store tp provided by /SAM. The nature of Last Resort lends itself to situations where you may engage a target in combat for 1-3 minutes and then have a long period without combat before engaging in another battle. (read: Sortie bosses). In this case, Last Resort is always up when you need it and it's cooling down while you run between fights.

[[File:Pummeler's Mask icon.png|link=]] '''[[Warrior]]'''
*[[Fencer]] - +200-300 TP bonus makes Savage Blade (and Judgment) shine.
*[[Double Attack]] - Grants Double Attack II which yields +10% double attack.
*[[Berserk]] - 25% increased attack with 60% uptime.
*[[Aggressor]] - A boost of 25 accuracy, also with 60% uptime. Hopefully not needed, but nice when it is.
*[[Warcry]] - A percentage based attack boost for the whole party with 30 second duration. Always welcome buff.
*[[Provoke]] - A little enmity utility for emergencies.

The War support job's most important contribution is Fencer. (Fencer I until master level 45, then Fencer II). Fencer provides either +200 or +300 TP bonus and either +3% or +5% crit when single wielding. For better or worse, a Dragoon wielding a [[Naegling]] is a force to be reckoned with, and Fencer amplifies this effect. The additional attack provided by Berserk and Warcry are always welcome as well. When properly geared and executed /WAR is exceptionally powerful in Odyssey C as TP can be generated very quickly via jumps, and a single [[Savage Blade]] from a DRG/WAR will kill a fodder mob on any floor. Even outside of Odyssey there are certain fights where a Savage Blade only strategy is called for, and DRG/WAR will be very powerful in those situations.

[[File:Maxixi Tiara icon.png|link=]] '''[[Dancer]]'''
*[[Dual Wield]] II - The main attraction here - access to an offhand weapon for Dragoon - typically only used if you have access to a [[Kraken Club]].
*[[Box Step]] - Can add a little bit of defense down if no one else is there to apply the same class of debuff for you. More likely you will be killing too quick to need it (eg seg run), or someone else will be applying defense down.
*[[Curing Waltz III]] - Some very solid utility. At the rate you generate tp as /DNC with a [[Kraken Club]] you can easily afford to use some TP for emergency curing.
*[[Healing Waltz]] - Always handy to be able to erase yourself when the healer is occupied, there isn't a healer, and/or you want to save yourself 20,000 gil using a panacea.
*[[Chocobo Jig]] - Who doesn't love running a little faster?
*[[Subtle Blow II]] - Nice little bonus when you are smacking things with your [[Kraken Club]]

The Dancer support job is used primarily by owners of the infamous [[Kraken Club]] with the goal of firing off [[Savage Blade]] as rapidly as possible. You may wonder about the /NIN option, especially if you have experience with other jobs where /NIN is commonly used for Dual Wield. For those other jobs, one of the main benefits of /NIN is access to [[Dual Wield]] III compared to /DNC's [[Dual Wield]] II. Jobs like Red Mage and Bard need the extra 10% delay reduction from /NIN to get to a place where they need only 11% Dual Wield on gear to achieve the delay reduction cap of 80%. Dragoon, however, comes with 10% Job Ability haste by virtue of it's [[Wyvern (Dragoon Pet)]] which more than makes up for the difference in Dual Wield. Here are two full calculations showing how Dragoon achieves the 80% delay reduction limit with /DNC, assuming maximum magic haste, and gear haste of of 25% or 23%.

*25% Gear Haste => '''(1 - 0.15 Dual Wield) × (1024 - 256 Equipment Haste - 448 Magic Haste - 101 Job Ability Haste) ÷ 1024 = 0.1817 [18.2% Delay remaining === 81.8% Delay reduction]'''
*23% Gear Haste => '''(1 - 0.15 Dual Wield) × (1024 - 235 Equipment Haste - 448 Magic Haste - 101 Job Ability Haste) ÷ 1024 = 0.1992 [19.9% Delay remaining === 80.1% Delay reduction]'''

Accordingly, you only need 23% gear haste and ZERO +Dual Wield on gear to achieve maximum attack speed. In fact, adding dual wield would actually lower your TP gained per swing. For the same reason, /NIN will actually reduce your TP rate compared to /DNC, and should only be used if for some reason you have a critical need to be a dual wielding [[Dragoon]] with [[Utsusemi: Ni]].

==Weapons==
[[File:Gungnir (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gungnir (Level 119 III)]]''' Opens up access to [[Geirskogul]], DRG's only weapon skill with the ({{color|ice|Distor}}{{color|water|tion}}) property. May find niche uses, but will most likely want to prioritize other REMAP options.

[[File:Rhongomiant (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Rhongomiant (Level 119 III)]]''' A strong option for low-buff situations when you can really take advantage of [[Camlann's Torment]] defense ignoring properties.

[[File:Ryunohige (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Ryunohige (Level 119 III)]]''' Considered to be a high quality option (at or better than Trishula) when sufficiently geared and spamming [[Drakesbane]] in a fully buffed zerg situation.

[[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] '''[[Trishula]]''' The bread-and-butter option. Relatively easy to obtain with very high damage potential. Works well either in a party/raid zerg situation or solo self-skillchaining.

[[File:Gae Buide (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gae Buide (Level 119 III)]]''' The top tier option, but it comes with a very large barrier to entry. If this is your chosen Prime and you do do enough Sortie to support the grind to stage 4 and beyond, then you will be rewarded with an incredible polearm.

[[File:Shining One icon.png|link=]] '''[[Shining One]]''' Even easier to obtain than Trishula and can be very competitive with the REMAP options. Damage from [[Impulse Drive]] scales well with WSD and crit.

[[File:Aram icon.png|link=]] '''[[Aram]]''' If you find yourself needing a full subtle blow kit on Dragoon then Path B will be the way to go. It simply won't compete with the other polearms on damage, however.

[[File:Naegling icon.png|link=]] '''[[Naegling]]''' Love it or hate it, it's likely here to stay. Dragoon's tp generation and weapon skill damage potential are a lethal combination with a Naegling equipped. Really shines in segment runs where your main goal is kill each target in a single weapon skill. Dragoon does only come with a C- Sword rating so accuracy may be a concern, especially at low to medium master levels. Also always useful for those fights where everyone is using Savage Blade in order to avoid skillchaining.

==Job-Specific Armor==

Note: The augments on Relic pieces, and some special attributes (eg Ancient Circle +1) are available at the base 119 version of the item. If the piece is only used for this purpose, then you do not need to fully upgrade the item to +3 to gain those effects. The recommendations in "Upgrade?" box refer to my personal opinion on whether the item should go all the way to +3.

==Engaged Sets==

The goal of any engaged or "TP" set on Dragoon is to generate TP as quickly as possible '''(while not dying - and not letting your wyvern die!)''' in order to reach 1000 TP and be able to perform a weapon skill. The most important thing you can do as a damage dealer is stay alive - and so having the proper amount of defensive stats in your engaged set is paramount. Besides staying alive, the next two most important aspects to any engaged set are accuracy and haste. Much like your defensive needs, your accuracy needs will vary widely depending on exactly what you are fighting. In my opinion most (if not all) accuracy issues should try to remedied by 1. Higher master levels 2. Using the appropriate buffs and/or debuffs (BRD/GEO/COR/RDM) 3. Food. Note that any additional accuracy beyond the amount needed to reach the 95% cap is wasted.

Haste is the other critical component of a TP set, and you always want to come as close to the overall delay-reduction cap of 80% as possible, regardless of the encounter. Dragoon is in a unique position when it comes to haste due to the effects granted by the [[Wyvern (Dragoon Pet)]] - specifically 10% Job Ability (JA) Haste - and the ability to still obtain additional JA Haste via a support job (either [[Hasso]] or [[Last Resort]]). Most commonly, you will likely be /SAM, and have [[Hasso]] with 100% uptime providing an additional 10% JA haste - this means that you need only 17% gear haste to reach the overall 80% delay reduction with full magic haste. With /DRK and [[Last Resort]] giving 15% JA haste, the amount needed on gear falls even lower (but only during Last Resort). With all of that said, the sets provided in this guide (other than /DNC) still prioritize reaching the 25% gear haste cap for the simple reason that support jobs are not available in one of the two main components of end-game content - Odyssey Sheol Gaol.

Once you have achieved the necessary levels of gear haste for your support job and enough accuracy to reach the cap, you can begin looking to maximize your Store TP and Multi-Hit (double/triple/quad attack).

==Weapon Skill Sets==
Weapon skill sets (except Diarmuid and Leg Sweep) are borrowed from the "[https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/57175/all-jobs-damage-simulator-and-gear-sets All Jobs Damage Simulator and Gear Sets]" created by Izanami. These sets are generated by his python simulator and have proven quite reliable and accurate in my experience. It is worth noting that some sets here include the [[Rigorous Grip +1]], however since you can't switch grips when using a weapon skill I would suggest that [[Utu Grip]] is the default full time option on meaningful content. The 30 accuracy and 70 hp is likely more valuable than a small weapon skill damage increase, unless you are 100% certain you are accuracy capped. Like all things FFXI, you can and should adapt the situation at hand and the gear at your disposal. (Including fitting in your chosen TVR Ring, and slotting in your [[Pel. Earring +2]] -- if you are so lucky)

Note: Use the 'Expand' link at the bottom of each section for more information about the sets.

==Job Ability Sets==

A quick note on these sets - it is possible to min/max some of these even further by including extremely niche pieces which will provide only negligibly increased utility. At this point in the game, I find myself weighing the benefits of an item against the inventory space needed to hold on to it. As such I choose not include things like "Acro" gear in the breath sets. Besides the inventory space, it is possible to be hit while activating a job ability or other breath, and I would argue that maintaining proper DT levels/MEVA throughout these sets is more important than eeking out a few dozen dps, or getting an extra 50 hp on your Steady Wing. Of course feel free to customize as needed. Check out [[User:Tatang|Tatang's page]] for even more comprehensive sets.

==Starter Gear==

Rather than try to create specific sets of gear for various levels of progression, I think it will be more beneficial to provide optimal sets to work toward paired with explanations of what to look for in each set - the "why" behind the set - and then let each player mix and match from their own gear to create gear sets that work for their current level of progression. Here I will try to show items for each slot which may be of use to up and coming Dragoons working toward the sets shown above.

One thing to note - I would urge any new player, or anyone looking to gear a Dragoon from zero to prioritize [[Sortie]] as much as possible. Getting 50,000 Gallimaufry and obtaining 5/5 Empyrean +2 will do more for you than almost anything else. The base stats (str/dex/meva/mdef/attack/acc) on all these items is very high compared to anything else you can reasonably obtain quickly. Even if you end up choosing to use some pieces where other (more geared) players may not (for example using [[Pelt. Cuissots +3]] in your TP set) you will likely be in great shape to while you continue building up your collection of other items.

==Skillchains==

Here are some common self skillchain sequences a Dragoon can execute. [[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] denotates the need of Trishula to continue the Skillchain.

*[[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] Stardiver → [[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] Stardiver = {{color|dark|Darkness}}
*Stardiver → Sonic Thrust = {{color|ice|Distor}}{{color|water|tion}} → Stardiver = '''Darkness''' → [[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] Stardiver = {{color|dark|Umbra}}
*Penta Thrust → Stardiver = {{color|light|Transfixion}} → Sonic Thrust = {{color|ice|Distor}}{{color|water|tion}} → Stardiver = {{color|dark|Darkness}} → [[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] Stardiver = {{color|dark|Umbra}}
*Stardiver → Camlann's Torment = {{color|lightning|Fragmen}}{{color|wind|tation}} → Drakesbane = {{color|light|Light}} → Camlann's Torment = {{color|light|Light}} ([[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] creates {{color|light|Radiance}} instead of double light)
*Stardiver → Sonic Thrust = {{color|ice|Distor}}{{color|water|tion}} → Drakesbane = {{color|fire|Fus}}{{color|light|ion}} → Stardiver = {{color|dark|Gravi}}{{color|earth|tation}} → Camlann's Torment = {{color|lightning|Fragmen}}{{color|wind|tation}} → Drakesbane = {{color|light|Light}} → Camlann's Torment = {{color|light|Light}}

Dragoon Guide By Kaius

2025-07-04T21:44:25Z

Kaius: /* Weapon Skill Sets */

{{Guide}}

==Introduction==
Dragoon is a heavy-ish DD job capable of producing some of the highest damage output in the game in some situations. The job has a fast-paced playstyle due to the arsenal of low cooldown job abilities it comes equipped with. As a Dragoon you also have a best friend / pet wyvern to accompany you throughout Vana'diel. Your wyvern is what drives your damage output by providing you with 20% attack, 20% defense, 10% Job Ability Haste, 10% Weapon Skill Damage, and 15% Double Attack. It is essential that you understand your [[Wyvern (Dragoon Pet)]] in order to maintain those benefits and be successful as a Dragoon. For the equipment portion of this guide I will focus on end-game ready options. For Odyssey gear this means I will show Rank 25 options in the sets. It's obviously safe to assume R30 is even better, and usually R20 is almost as good (although there are a few places where R20 is noticeably worse than R25 - such as Gleti's Breeches). Furthermore, I will try to explain what you're looking for in a set and provide some alternatives so that you can have the confidence to mix-and-match as needed, or even experiment on your own.

==Support Jobs==
There are four main jobs which can all be a viable support job selection for a Dragoon, depending upon the engagement.

[[File:Wakido Kabuto icon.png|link=]] '''[[Samurai]]'''
*[[Hasso]] - Capped equipment haste (25%), capped magic haste (43.75%), and 10% job ability haste from the wyvern puts you at 78.75% haste. Hasso provides an additional 10% job ability haste, pushing us over the 80% total cap (88.75%). That last 1.25% may seem insignificant but it ends up being a big deal because of the nature of haste - "As delay goes 0, dps goes to infinity". Additionally, there may be times where you want to use a gear set with less than 25% haste - Hasso will allow you the flexibility to do so by making up the difference with extra job ability haste - specifically you can shed 8.75% equipment haste (keeping 16.25%) if you maintain magic haste cap, Hasso, and wyvern.

*[[Store TP]] - Grants Store TP III which yields +20 STP
*[[Zanshin]] - Grants Zanshin III which provides 35% chance to attack again immediately after missing a target.
*[[Sekkanoki]] - Limits TP cost of next weapon skill to 1000.
*[[Warding Circle]] - Makes you and your party do 5% more damage to, and take 5% less damage from demons.

The primary benefit of /SAM is an increased rate of TP generation via the additional haste received from Hasso, and the additional 20 Store TP. Faster TP leads to more frequent weapon skills and more damage. Importantly, Hasso can be maintained with 100% uptime. This makes it ideal for situations where your damage output needs are constant over a long period - such as Odyssey C where you are basically constantly engaged for 30 minutes.

[[File:Ignominy Burgeonet icon.png|link=]] '''[[Dark Knight]]'''
*[[Last Resort]] - A 3 minute duration, 5 minute cooldown buff that gives 25% attack and 15% job ability haste buffs - at the cost of a 25% defense down penalty on yourself.
*[[Weapon Bash]] - On demand stun
*[[Souleater]] - Some additional auto-attack damage at the cost of self-inflicted damage.
*[[Arcane Circle]] - Makes you and your party do 5% more damage to, and take 5% less damage from arcana.

The primary benefit of /DRK is Last Resort which also closes the final 1.25% haste gap, while also providing a huge attack boost. However, it is important to note that Last Resort will not have 100% uptime, and you do not have the additional store tp provided by /SAM. The nature of Last Resort lends itself to situations where you may engage a target in combat for 1-3 minutes and then have a long period without combat before engaging in another battle. (read: Sortie bosses). In this case, Last Resort is always up when you need it and it's cooling down while you run between fights.

[[File:Pummeler's Mask icon.png|link=]] '''[[Warrior]]'''
*[[Fencer]] - +200-300 TP bonus makes Savage Blade (and Judgment) shine.
*[[Double Attack]] - Grants Double Attack II which yields +10% double attack.
*[[Berserk]] - 25% increased attack with 60% uptime.
*[[Aggressor]] - A boost of 25 accuracy, also with 60% uptime. Hopefully not needed, but nice when it is.
*[[Warcry]] - A percentage based attack boost for the whole party with 30 second duration. Always welcome buff.
*[[Provoke]] - A little enmity utility for emergencies.

The War support job's most important contribution is Fencer. (Fencer I until master level 45, then Fencer II). Fencer provides either +200 or +300 TP bonus and either +3% or +5% crit when single wielding. For better or worse, a Dragoon wielding a [[Naegling]] is a force to be reckoned with, and Fencer amplifies this effect. The additional attack provided by Berserk and Warcry are always welcome as well. When properly geared and executed /WAR is exceptionally powerful in Odyssey C as TP can be generated very quickly via jumps, and a single [[Savage Blade]] from a DRG/WAR will kill a fodder mob on any floor. Even outside of Odyssey there are certain fights where a Savage Blade only strategy is called for, and DRG/WAR will be very powerful in those situations.

[[File:Maxixi Tiara icon.png|link=]] '''[[Dancer]]'''
*[[Dual Wield]] II - The main attraction here - access to an offhand weapon for Dragoon - typically only used if you have access to a [[Kraken Club]].
*[[Box Step]] - Can add a little bit of defense down if no one else is there to apply the same class of debuff for you. More likely you will be killing too quick to need it (eg seg run), or someone else will be applying defense down.
*[[Curing Waltz III]] - Some very solid utility. At the rate you generate tp as /DNC with a [[Kraken Club]] you can easily afford to use some TP for emergency curing.
*[[Healing Waltz]] - Always handy to be able to erase yourself when the healer is occupied, there isn't a healer, and/or you want to save yourself 20,000 gil using a panacea.
*[[Chocobo Jig]] - Who doesn't love running a little faster?
*[[Subtle Blow II]] - Nice little bonus when you are smacking things with your [[Kraken Club]]

The Dancer support job is used primarily by owners of the infamous [[Kraken Club]] with the goal of firing off [[Savage Blade]] as rapidly as possible. You may wonder about the /NIN option, especially if you have experience with other jobs where /NIN is commonly used for Dual Wield. For those other jobs, one of the main benefits of /NIN is access to [[Dual Wield]] III compared to /DNC's [[Dual Wield]] II. Jobs like Red Mage and Bard need the extra 10% delay reduction from /NIN to get to a place where they need only 11% Dual Wield on gear to achieve the delay reduction cap of 80%. Dragoon, however, comes with 10% Job Ability haste by virtue of it's [[Wyvern (Dragoon Pet)]] which more than makes up for the difference in Dual Wield. Here are two full calculations showing how Dragoon achieves the 80% delay reduction limit with /DNC, assuming maximum magic haste, and gear haste of of 25% or 23%.

*25% Gear Haste => '''(1 - 0.15 Dual Wield) × (1024 - 256 Equipment Haste - 448 Magic Haste - 101 Job Ability Haste) ÷ 1024 = 0.1817 [18.2% Delay remaining === 81.8% Delay reduction]'''
*23% Gear Haste => '''(1 - 0.15 Dual Wield) × (1024 - 235 Equipment Haste - 448 Magic Haste - 101 Job Ability Haste) ÷ 1024 = 0.1992 [19.9% Delay remaining === 80.1% Delay reduction]'''

Accordingly, you only need 23% gear haste and ZERO +Dual Wield on gear to achieve maximum attack speed. In fact, adding dual wield would actually lower your TP gained per swing. For the same reason, /NIN will actually reduce your TP rate compared to /DNC, and should only be used if for some reason you have a critical need to be a dual wielding [[Dragoon]] with [[Utsusemi: Ni]].

If this is your chosen Prime and you do do enough Sortie to support the grind to stage 4 and beyond, then you will be rewarded with an incredible polearm.

[[File:Shining One icon.png|link=]] '''[[Shining One]]''' Even easier to obtain than Trishula and can be very competitive with the REMAP options. Damage from [[Impulse Drive]] scales well with WSD and crit.

[[File:Aram icon.png|link=]] '''[[Aram]]''' If you find yourself needing a full subtle blow kit on Dragoon then Path B will be the way to go. It simply won't compete with the other polearms on damage, however.

[[File:Naegling icon.png|link=]] '''[[Naegling]]''' Love it or hate it, it's likely here to stay. Dragoon's tp generation and weapon skill damage potential are a lethal combination with a Naegling equipped. Really shines in segment runs where your main goal is kill each target in a single weapon skill. Dragoon does only come with a C- Sword rating so accuracy may be a concern, especially at low to medium master levels. Also always useful for those fights where everyone is using Savage Blade in order to avoid skillchaining.

[[File:Mafic Cudgel icon.png|link=]] '''[[Mafic Cudgel]]''' The only club option. Use it to slap skeletons in Odyssey C.

==Job-Specific Armor==

Note: The augments on Relic pieces, and some special attributes (eg Ancient Circle +1) are available at the base 119 version of the item. If the piece is only used for this purpose, then you do not need to fully upgrade the item to +3 to gain those effects. The recommendations in "Upgrade?" box refer to my personal opinion on whether the item should go all the way to +3.

==Engaged Sets==

The goal of any engaged or "TP" set on Dragoon is to generate TP as quickly as possible '''(while not dying - and not letting your wyvern die!)''' in order to reach 1000 TP and be able to perform a weapon skill. The most important thing you can do as a damage dealer is stay alive - and so having the proper amount of defensive stats in your engaged set is paramount. Besides staying alive, the next two most important aspects to any engaged set are accuracy and haste. Much like your defensive needs, your accuracy needs will vary widely depending on exactly what you are fighting. In my opinion most (if not all) accuracy issues should try to remedied by 1. Higher master levels 2. Using the appropriate buffs and/or debuffs (BRD/GEO/COR/RDM) 3. Food. Note that any additional accuracy beyond the amount needed to reach the 95% cap is wasted.

Haste is the other critical component of a TP set, and you always want to come as close to the overall delay-reduction cap of 80% as possible, regardless of the encounter. Dragoon is in a unique position when it comes to haste due to the effects granted by the [[Wyvern (Dragoon Pet)]] - specifically 10% Job Ability (JA) Haste - and the ability to still obtain additional JA Haste via a support job (either [[Hasso]] or [[Last Resort]]). Most commonly, you will likely be /SAM, and have [[Hasso]] with 100% uptime providing an additional 10% JA haste - this means that you need only 17% gear haste to reach the overall 80% delay reduction with full magic haste. With /DRK and [[Last Resort]] giving 15% JA haste, the amount needed on gear falls even lower (but only during Last Resort). With all of that said, the sets provided in this guide (other than /DNC) still prioritize reaching the 25% gear haste cap for the simple reason that support jobs are not available in one of the two main components of end-game content - Odyssey Sheol Gaol.

Once you have achieved the necessary levels of gear haste for your support job and enough accuracy to reach the cap, you can begin looking to maximize your Store TP and Multi-Hit (double/triple/quad attack).

==Weapon Skill Sets==
Weapon skill sets (except Diarmuid and Leg Sweep) are borrowed from the "[https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/57175/all-jobs-damage-simulator-and-gear-sets All Jobs Damage Simulator and Gear Sets]" created by Izanami. These sets are generated by his python simulator and have proven quite reliable and accurate in my experience. It is worth noting that some sets here include the [[Rigorous Grip +1]], however since you can't switch grips when using a weapon skill I would suggest that [[Utu Grip]] is the default full time option on meaningful content. The 30 accuracy and 70 hp is likely more valuable than a small weapon skill damage increase, unless you are 100% certain you are accuracy capped. Like all things FFXI, you can and should adapt the situation at hand and the gear at your disposal. (Including fitting in your chosen TVR Ring, and slotting in your [[Pel. Earring +2]] -- if you are so lucky)

Note: Use the 'Expand' link at the bottom of each section for more information about the sets.

==Job Ability Sets==

A quick note on these sets - it is possible to min/max some of these even further by including extremely niche pieces which will provide only negligibly increased utility. At this point in the game, I find myself weighing the benefits of an item against the inventory space needed to hold on to it. As such I choose not include things like "Acro" gear in the breath sets. Besides the inventory space, it is possible to be hit while activating a job ability or other breath, and I would argue that maintaining proper DT levels/MEVA throughout these sets is more important than eeking out a few dozen dps, or getting an extra 50 hp on your Steady Wing. Of course feel free to customize as needed. Check out [[User:Tatang|Tatang's page]] for even more comprehensive sets.

==Starter Gear==

Rather than try to create specific sets of gear for various levels of progression, I think it will be more beneficial to provide optimal sets to work toward paired with explanations of what to look for in each set - the "why" behind the set - and then let each player mix and match from their own gear to create gear sets that work for their current level of progression. Here I will try to show items for each slot which may be of use to up and coming Dragoons working toward the sets shown above.

One thing to note - I would urge any new player, or anyone looking to gear a Dragoon from zero to prioritize [[Sortie]] as much as possible. Getting 50,000 Gallimaufry and obtaining 5/5 Empyrean +2 will do more for you than almost anything else. The base stats (str/dex/meva/mdef/attack/acc) on all these items is very high compared to anything else you can reasonably obtain quickly. Even if you end up choosing to use some pieces where other (more geared) players may not (for example using [[Pelt. Cuissots +3]] in your TP set) you will likely be in great shape to while you continue building up your collection of other items.

==Skillchains==

Here are some common self skillchain sequences a Dragoon can execute. [[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] denotates the need of Trishula to continue the Skillchain.

*[[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] Stardiver → [[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] Stardiver = {{color|dark|Darkness}}
*Stardiver → Sonic Thrust = {{color|ice|Distor}}{{color|water|tion}} → Stardiver = '''Darkness''' → [[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] Stardiver = {{color|dark|Umbra}}
*Penta Thrust → Stardiver = {{color|light|Transfixion}} → Sonic Thrust = {{color|ice|Distor}}{{color|water|tion}} → Stardiver = {{color|dark|Darkness}} → [[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] Stardiver = {{color|dark|Umbra}}
*Stardiver → Camlann's Torment = {{color|lightning|Fragmen}}{{color|wind|tation}} → Drakesbane = {{color|light|Light}} → Camlann's Torment = {{color|light|Light}} ([[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] creates {{color|light|Radiance}} instead of double light)
*Stardiver → Sonic Thrust = {{color|ice|Distor}}{{color|water|tion}} → Drakesbane = {{color|fire|Fus}}{{color|light|ion}} → Stardiver = {{color|dark|Gravi}}{{color|earth|tation}} → Camlann's Torment = {{color|lightning|Fragmen}}{{color|wind|tation}} → Drakesbane = {{color|light|Light}} → Camlann's Torment = {{color|light|Light}}

Dragoon Guide By Kaius

2025-07-04T21:26:10Z

Kaius: /* Engaged Sets */

{{Guide}}

==Introduction==
Dragoon is a heavy-ish DD job capable of producing some of the highest damage output in the game in some situations. The job has a fast-paced playstyle due to the arsenal of low cooldown job abilities it comes equipped with. As a Dragoon you also have a best friend / pet wyvern to accompany you throughout Vana'diel. Your wyvern is what drives your damage output by providing you with 20% attack, 20% defense, 10% Job Ability Haste, 10% Weapon Skill Damage, and 15% Double Attack. It is essential that you understand your [[Wyvern (Dragoon Pet)]] in order to maintain those benefits and be successful as a Dragoon. For the equipment portion of this guide I will focus on end-game ready options. For Odyssey gear this means I will show Rank 25 options in the sets. It's obviously safe to assume R30 is even better, and usually R20 is almost as good (although there are a few places where R20 is noticeably worse than R25 - such as Gleti's Breeches). Furthermore, I will try to explain what you're looking for in a set and provide some alternatives so that you can have the confidence to mix-and-match as needed, or even experiment on your own.

==Support Jobs==
There are four main jobs which can all be a viable support job selection for a Dragoon, depending upon the engagement.

[[File:Wakido Kabuto icon.png|link=]] '''[[Samurai]]'''
*[[Hasso]] - Capped equipment haste (25%), capped magic haste (43.75%), and 10% job ability haste from the wyvern puts you at 78.75% haste. Hasso provides an additional 10% job ability haste, pushing us over the 80% total cap (88.75%). That last 1.25% may seem insignificant but it ends up being a big deal because of the nature of haste - "As delay goes 0, dps goes to infinity". Additionally, there may be times where you want to use a gear set with less than 25% haste - Hasso will allow you the flexibility to do so by making up the difference with extra job ability haste - specifically you can shed 8.75% equipment haste (keeping 16.25%) if you maintain magic haste cap, Hasso, and wyvern.

*[[Store TP]] - Grants Store TP III which yields +20 STP
*[[Zanshin]] - Grants Zanshin III which provides 35% chance to attack again immediately after missing a target.
*[[Sekkanoki]] - Limits TP cost of next weapon skill to 1000.
*[[Warding Circle]] - Makes you and your party do 5% more damage to, and take 5% less damage from demons.

The primary benefit of /SAM is an increased rate of TP generation via the additional haste received from Hasso, and the additional 20 Store TP. Faster TP leads to more frequent weapon skills and more damage. Importantly, Hasso can be maintained with 100% uptime. This makes it ideal for situations where your damage output needs are constant over a long period - such as Odyssey C where you are basically constantly engaged for 30 minutes.

[[File:Ignominy Burgeonet icon.png|link=]] '''[[Dark Knight]]'''
*[[Last Resort]] - A 3 minute duration, 5 minute cooldown buff that gives 25% attack and 15% job ability haste buffs - at the cost of a 25% defense down penalty on yourself.
*[[Weapon Bash]] - On demand stun
*[[Souleater]] - Some additional auto-attack damage at the cost of self-inflicted damage.
*[[Arcane Circle]] - Makes you and your party do 5% more damage to, and take 5% less damage from arcana.

The primary benefit of /DRK is Last Resort which also closes the final 1.25% haste gap, while also providing a huge attack boost. However, it is important to note that Last Resort will not have 100% uptime, and you do not have the additional store tp provided by /SAM. The nature of Last Resort lends itself to situations where you may engage a target in combat for 1-3 minutes and then have a long period without combat before engaging in another battle. (read: Sortie bosses). In this case, Last Resort is always up when you need it and it's cooling down while you run between fights.

[[File:Pummeler's Mask icon.png|link=]] '''[[Warrior]]'''
*[[Fencer]] - +200-300 TP bonus makes Savage Blade (and Judgment) shine.
*[[Double Attack]] - Grants Double Attack II which yields +10% double attack.
*[[Berserk]] - 25% increased attack with 60% uptime.
*[[Aggressor]] - A boost of 25 accuracy, also with 60% uptime. Hopefully not needed, but nice when it is.
*[[Warcry]] - A percentage based attack boost for the whole party with 30 second duration. Always welcome buff.
*[[Provoke]] - A little enmity utility for emergencies.

The War support job's most important contribution is Fencer. (Fencer I until master level 45, then Fencer II). Fencer provides either +200 or +300 TP bonus and either +3% or +5% crit when single wielding. For better or worse, a Dragoon wielding a [[Naegling]] is a force to be reckoned with, and Fencer amplifies this effect. The additional attack provided by Berserk and Warcry are always welcome as well. When properly geared and executed /WAR is exceptionally powerful in Odyssey C as TP can be generated very quickly via jumps, and a single [[Savage Blade]] from a DRG/WAR will kill a fodder mob on any floor. Even outside of Odyssey there are certain fights where a Savage Blade only strategy is called for, and DRG/WAR will be very powerful in those situations.

[[File:Maxixi Tiara icon.png|link=]] '''[[Dancer]]'''
*[[Dual Wield]] II - The main attraction here - access to an offhand weapon for Dragoon - typically only used if you have access to a [[Kraken Club]].
*[[Box Step]] - Can add a little bit of defense down if no one else is there to apply the same class of debuff for you. More likely you will be killing too quick to need it (eg seg run), or someone else will be applying defense down.
*[[Curing Waltz III]] - Some very solid utility. At the rate you generate tp as /DNC with a [[Kraken Club]] you can easily afford to use some TP for emergency curing.
*[[Healing Waltz]] - Always handy to be able to erase yourself when the healer is occupied, there isn't a healer, and/or you want to save yourself 20,000 gil using a panacea.
*[[Chocobo Jig]] - Who doesn't love running a little faster?
*[[Subtle Blow II]] - Nice little bonus when you are smacking things with your [[Kraken Club]]

The Dancer support job is used primarily by owners of the infamous [[Kraken Club]] with the goal of firing off [[Savage Blade]] as rapidly as possible. You may wonder about the /NIN option, especially if you have experience with other jobs where /NIN is commonly used for Dual Wield. For those other jobs, one of the main benefits of /NIN is access to [[Dual Wield]] III compared to /DNC's [[Dual Wield]] II. Jobs like Red Mage and Bard need the extra 10% delay reduction from /NIN to get to a place where they need only 11% Dual Wield on gear to achieve the delay reduction cap of 80%. Dragoon, however, comes with 10% Job Ability haste by virtue of it's [[Wyvern (Dragoon Pet)]] which more than makes up for the difference in Dual Wield. Here are two full calculations showing how Dragoon achieves the 80% delay reduction limit with /DNC, assuming maximum magic haste, and gear haste of of 25% or 23%.

*25% Gear Haste => '''(1 - 0.15 Dual Wield) × (1024 - 256 Equipment Haste - 448 Magic Haste - 101 Job Ability Haste) ÷ 1024 = 0.1817 [18.2% Delay remaining === 81.8% Delay reduction]'''
*23% Gear Haste => '''(1 - 0.15 Dual Wield) × (1024 - 235 Equipment Haste - 448 Magic Haste - 101 Job Ability Haste) ÷ 1024 = 0.1992 [19.9% Delay remaining === 80.1% Delay reduction]'''

Accordingly, you only need 23% gear haste and ZERO +Dual Wield on gear to achieve maximum attack speed. In fact, adding dual wield would actually lower your TP gained per swing. For the same reason, /NIN will actually reduce your TP rate compared to /DNC, and should only be used if for some reason you have a critical need to be a dual wielding [[Dragoon]] with [[Utsusemi: Ni]].

[[File:Gungnir (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gungnir (Level 119 III)]]''' Opens up access to [[Geirskogul]], DRG's only weapon skill with the ({{color|ice|Distor}}{{color|water|tion}}) property. May find niche uses, but will most likely want to prioritize other REMAP options.

[[File:Rhongomiant (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Rhongomiant (Level 119 III)]]''' A strong option for low-buff situations when you can really take advantage of [[Camlann's Torment]] defense ignoring properties.

[[File:Ryunohige (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Ryunohige (Level 119 III)]]''' Considered to be a high quality option (at or better than Trishula) when sufficiently geared and spamming [[Drakesbane]] in a fully buffed zerg situation.

[[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] '''[[Trishula]]''' The bread-and-butter option. Relatively easy to obtain with very high damage potential. Works well either in a party/raid zerg situation or solo self-skillchaining.

[[File:Gae Buide (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gae Buide (Level 119 III)]]''' The top tier option, but it comes with a very large barrier to entry. If this is your chosen Prime and you do do enough Sortie to support the grind to stage 4 and beyond, then you will be rewarded with an incredible polearm.

[[File:Shining One icon.png|link=]] '''[[Shining One]]''' Even easier to obtain than Trishula and can be very competitive with the REMAP options. Damage from [[Impulse Drive]] scales well with WSD and crit.

[[File:Aram icon.png|link=]] '''[[Aram]]''' If you find yourself needing a full subtle blow kit on Dragoon then Path B will be the way to go. It simply won't compete with the other polearms on damage, however.

[[File:Naegling icon.png|link=]] '''[[Naegling]]''' Love it or hate it, it's likely here to stay. Dragoon's tp generation and weapon skill damage potential are a lethal combination with a Naegling equipped. Really shines in segment runs where your main goal is kill each target in a single weapon skill. Dragoon does only come with a C- Sword rating so accuracy may be a concern, especially at low to medium master levels. Also always useful for those fights where everyone is using Savage Blade in order to avoid skillchaining.

[[File:Mafic Cudgel icon.png|link=]] '''[[Mafic Cudgel]]''' The only club option. Use it to slap skeletons in Odyssey C.

==Job-Specific Armor==

Note: The augments on Relic pieces, and some special attributes (eg Ancient Circle +1) are available at the base 119 version of the item. If the piece is only used for this purpose, then you do not need to fully upgrade the item to +3 to gain those effects. The recommendations in "Upgrade?" box refer to my personal opinion on whether the item should go all the way to +3.

==Engaged Sets==

The goal of any engaged or "TP" set on Dragoon is to generate TP as quickly as possible '''(while not dying - and not letting your wyvern die!)''' in order to reach 1000 TP and be able to perform a weapon skill. The most important thing you can do as a damage dealer is stay alive - and so having the proper amount of defensive stats in your engaged set is paramount. Besides staying alive, the next two most important aspects to any engaged set are accuracy and haste. Much like your defensive needs, your accuracy needs will vary widely depending on exactly what you are fighting. In my opinion most (if not all) accuracy issues should try to remedied by 1. Higher master levels 2. Using the appropriate buffs and/or debuffs (BRD/GEO/COR/RDM) 3. Food. Note that any additional accuracy beyond the amount needed to reach the 95% cap is wasted.

Haste is the other critical component of a TP set, and you always want to come as close to the overall delay-reduction cap of 80% as possible, regardless of the encounter. Dragoon is in a unique position when it comes to haste due to the effects granted by the [[Wyvern (Dragoon Pet)]] - specifically 10% Job Ability (JA) Haste - and the ability to still obtain additional JA Haste via a support job (either [[Hasso]] or [[Last Resort]]). Most commonly, you will likely be /SAM, and have [[Hasso]] with 100% uptime providing an additional 10% JA haste - this means that you need only 17% gear haste to reach the overall 80% delay reduction with full magic haste. With /DRK and [[Last Resort]] giving 15% JA haste, the amount needed on gear falls even lower (but only during Last Resort). With all of that said, the sets provided in this guide (other than /DNC) still prioritize reaching the 25% gear haste cap for the simple reason that support jobs are not available in one of the two main components of end-game content - Odyssey Sheol Gaol.

Once you have achieved the necessary levels of gear haste for your support job and enough accuracy to reach the cap, you can begin looking to maximize your Store TP and Multi-Hit (double/triple/quad attack).

==Weapon Skill Sets==
Weapon skill sets (except Diarmuid and Leg Sweep) are borrowed from the "[https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/57175/all-jobs-damage-simulator-and-gear-sets All Jobs Damage Simulator and Gear Sets]" created by Izanami. These sets are generated by his python simulator and have proven quite reliable and accurate in my experience. It is worth noting that some sets here include the [[Rigorous Grip +1]], however since you can't switch grips when using a weapon skill I would suggest that [[Utu Grip]] is the default full time option on meaningful content. The 30 accuracy and 70 hp is likely more valuable than a small weapon skill damage increase, unless you are 100% certain you are accuracy capped. Like all things FFXI, you can and should adapt the situation at hand and the gear at your disposal. (Including fitting in your chosen TVR Ring, and slotting in your [[Pel. Earring +2]] -- if you are so lucky)

Note: Use the 'Expand' link at the bottom of each section for more information about the sets.

==Job Ability Sets==

A quick note on these sets - it is possible to min/max some of these even further by including extremely niche pieces which will provide only negligibly increased utility. At this point in the game, I find myself weighing the benefits of an item against the inventory space needed to hold on to it. As such I choose not include things like "Acro" gear in the breath sets. Besides the inventory space, it is possible to be hit while activating a job ability or other breath, and I would argue that maintaining proper DT levels/MEVA throughout these sets is more important than eeking out a few dozen dps, or getting an extra 50 hp on your Steady Wing. Of course feel free to customize as needed. Check out [[User:Tatang|Tatang's page]] for even more comprehensive sets.

==Starter Gear==

Rather than try to create specific sets of gear for various levels of progression, I think it will be more beneficial to provide optimal sets to work toward paired with explanations of what to look for in each set - the "why" behind the set - and then let each player mix and match from their own gear to create gear sets that work for their current level of progression. Here I will try to show items for each slot which may be of use to up and coming Dragoons working toward the sets shown above.

One thing to note - I would urge any new player, or anyone looking to gear a Dragoon from zero to prioritize [[Sortie]] as much as possible. Getting 50,000 Gallimaufry and obtaining 5/5 Empyrean +2 will do more for you than almost anything else. The base stats (str/dex/meva/mdef/attack/acc) on all these items is very high compared to anything else you can reasonably obtain quickly. Even if you end up choosing to use some pieces where other (more geared) players may not (for example using [[Pelt. Cuissots +3]] in your TP set) you will likely be in great shape to while you continue building up your collection of other items.

==Skillchains==

Here are some common self skillchain sequences a Dragoon can execute. [[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] denotates the need of Trishula to continue the Skillchain.

*[[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] Stardiver → [[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] Stardiver = {{color|dark|Darkness}}
*Stardiver → Sonic Thrust = {{color|ice|Distor}}{{color|water|tion}} → Stardiver = '''Darkness''' → [[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] Stardiver = {{color|dark|Umbra}}
*Penta Thrust → Stardiver = {{color|light|Transfixion}} → Sonic Thrust = {{color|ice|Distor}}{{color|water|tion}} → Stardiver = {{color|dark|Darkness}} → [[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] Stardiver = {{color|dark|Umbra}}
*Stardiver → Camlann's Torment = {{color|lightning|Fragmen}}{{color|wind|tation}} → Drakesbane = {{color|light|Light}} → Camlann's Torment = {{color|light|Light}} ([[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] creates {{color|light|Radiance}} instead of double light)
*Stardiver → Sonic Thrust = {{color|ice|Distor}}{{color|water|tion}} → Drakesbane = {{color|fire|Fus}}{{color|light|ion}} → Stardiver = {{color|dark|Gravi}}{{color|earth|tation}} → Camlann's Torment = {{color|lightning|Fragmen}}{{color|wind|tation}} → Drakesbane = {{color|light|Light}} → Camlann's Torment = {{color|light|Light}}

Dragoon Guide By Kaius

2025-06-16T18:31:48Z

Kaius: /* Weapon Skill Sets */

{{Guide}}

==Introduction==
Dragoon is a heavy-ish DD job capable of producing some of the highest damage output in the game in some situations. The job has a fast-paced playstyle due to the arsenal of low cooldown job abilities it comes equipped with. As a Dragoon you also have a best friend / pet wyvern to accompany you throughout Vana'diel. Your wyvern is what drives your damage output by providing you with 20% attack, 20% defense, 10% Job Ability Haste, 10% Weapon Skill Damage, and 15% Double Attack. It is essential that you understand your [[Wyvern (Dragoon Pet)]] in order to maintain those benefits and be successful as a Dragoon. For the equipment portion of this guide I will focus on end-game ready options. For Odyssey gear this means I will show Rank 25 options in the sets. It's obviously safe to assume R30 is even better, and usually R20 is almost as good (although there are a few places where R20 is noticeably worse than R25 - such as Gleti's Breeches). Furthermore, I will try to explain what you're looking for in a set and provide some alternatives so that you can have the confidence to mix-and-match as needed, or even experiment on your own.

==Support Jobs==
There are four main jobs which can all be a viable support job selection for a Dragoon, depending upon the engagement.

[[File:Wakido Kabuto icon.png|link=]] '''[[Samurai]]'''
*[[Hasso]] - Capped equipment haste (25%), capped magic haste (43.75%), and 10% job ability haste from the wyvern puts you at 78.75% haste. Hasso provides an additional 10% job ability haste, pushing us over the 80% total cap (88.75%). That last 1.25% may seem insignificant but it ends up being a big deal because of the nature of haste - "As delay goes 0, dps goes to infinity". Additionally, there may be times where you want to use a gear set with less than 25% haste - Hasso will allow you the flexibility to do so by making up the difference with extra job ability haste - specifically you can shed 8.75% equipment haste (keeping 16.25%) if you maintain magic haste cap, Hasso, and wyvern.

*[[Store TP]] - Grants Store TP III which yields +20 STP
*[[Zanshin]] - Grants Zanshin III which provides 35% chance to attack again immediately after missing a target.
*[[Sekkanoki]] - Limits TP cost of next weapon skill to 1000.
*[[Warding Circle]] - Makes you and your party do 5% more damage to, and take 5% less damage from demons.

The primary benefit of /SAM is an increased rate of TP generation via the additional haste received from Hasso, and the additional 20 Store TP. Faster TP leads to more frequent weapon skills and more damage. Importantly, Hasso can be maintained with 100% uptime. This makes it ideal for situations where your damage output needs are constant over a long period - such as Odyssey C where you are basically constantly engaged for 30 minutes.

[[File:Ignominy Burgeonet icon.png|link=]] '''[[Dark Knight]]'''
*[[Last Resort]] - A 3 minute duration, 5 minute cooldown buff that gives 25% attack and 15% job ability haste buffs - at the cost of a 25% defense down penalty on yourself.
*[[Weapon Bash]] - On demand stun
*[[Souleater]] - Some additional auto-attack damage at the cost of self-inflicted damage.
*[[Arcane Circle]] - Makes you and your party do 5% more damage to, and take 5% less damage from arcana.

The primary benefit of /DRK is Last Resort which also closes the final 1.25% haste gap, while also providing a huge attack boost. However, it is important to note that Last Resort will not have 100% uptime, and you do not have the additional store tp provided by /SAM. The nature of Last Resort lends itself to situations where you may engage a target in combat for 1-3 minutes and then have a long period without combat before engaging in another battle. (read: Sortie bosses). In this case, Last Resort is always up when you need it and it's cooling down while you run between fights.

[[File:Pummeler's Mask icon.png|link=]] '''[[Warrior]]'''
*[[Fencer]] - +200-300 TP bonus makes Savage Blade (and Judgment) shine.
*[[Double Attack]] - Grants Double Attack II which yields +10% double attack.
*[[Berserk]] - 25% increased attack with 60% uptime.
*[[Aggressor]] - A boost of 25 accuracy, also with 60% uptime. Hopefully not needed, but nice when it is.
*[[Warcry]] - A percentage based attack boost for the whole party with 30 second duration. Always welcome buff.
*[[Provoke]] - A little enmity utility for emergencies.

The War support job's most important contribution is Fencer. (Fencer I until master level 45, then Fencer II). Fencer provides either +200 or +300 TP bonus and either +3% or +5% crit when single wielding. For better or worse, a Dragoon wielding a [[Naegling]] is a force to be reckoned with, and Fencer amplifies this effect. The additional attack provided by Berserk and Warcry are always welcome as well. When properly geared and executed /WAR is exceptionally powerful in Odyssey C as TP can be generated very quickly via jumps, and a single [[Savage Blade]] from a DRG/WAR will kill a fodder mob on any floor. Even outside of Odyssey there are certain fights where a Savage Blade only strategy is called for, and DRG/WAR will be very powerful in those situations.

[[File:Maxixi Tiara icon.png|link=]] '''[[Dancer]]'''
*[[Dual Wield]] II - The main attraction here - access to an offhand weapon for Dragoon - typically only used if you have access to a [[Kraken Club]].
*[[Box Step]] - Can add a little bit of defense down if no one else is there to apply the same class of debuff for you. More likely you will be killing too quick to need it (eg seg run), or someone else will be applying defense down.
*[[Curing Waltz III]] - Some very solid utility. At the rate you generate tp as /DNC with a [[Kraken Club]] you can easily afford to use some TP for emergency curing.
*[[Healing Waltz]] - Always handy to be able to erase yourself when the healer is occupied, there isn't a healer, and/or you want to save yourself 20,000 gil using a panacea.
*[[Chocobo Jig]] - Who doesn't love running a little faster?
*[[Subtle Blow II]] - Nice little bonus when you are smacking things with your [[Kraken Club]]

The Dancer support job is used primarily by owners of the infamous [[Kraken Club]] with the goal of firing off [[Savage Blade]] as rapidly as possible. You may wonder about the /NIN option, especially if you have experience with other jobs where /NIN is commonly used for Dual Wield. For those other jobs, one of the main benefits of /NIN is access to [[Dual Wield]] III compared to /DNC's [[Dual Wield]] II. Jobs like Red Mage and Bard need the extra 10% delay reduction from /NIN to get to a place where they need only 11% Dual Wield on gear to achieve the delay reduction cap of 80%. Dragoon, however, comes with 10% Job Ability haste by virtue of it's [[Wyvern (Dragoon Pet)]] which more than makes up for the difference in Dual Wield. Here are two full calculations showing how Dragoon achieves the 80% delay reduction limit with /DNC, assuming maximum magic haste, and gear haste of of 25% or 23%.

*25% Gear Haste => '''(1 - 0.15 Dual Wield) × (1024 - 256 Equipment Haste - 448 Magic Haste - 101 Job Ability Haste) ÷ 1024 = 0.1817 [18.2% Delay remaining === 81.8% Delay reduction]'''
*23% Gear Haste => '''(1 - 0.15 Dual Wield) × (1024 - 235 Equipment Haste - 448 Magic Haste - 101 Job Ability Haste) ÷ 1024 = 0.1992 [19.9% Delay remaining === 80.1% Delay reduction]'''

Accordingly, you only need 23% gear haste and ZERO +Dual Wield on gear to achieve maximum attack speed. In fact, adding dual wield would actually lower your TP gained per swing. For the same reason, /NIN will actually reduce your TP rate compared to /DNC, and should only be used if for some reason you have a critical need to be a dual wielding [[Dragoon]] with [[Utsusemi: Ni]].

[[File:Gungnir (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gungnir (Level 119 III)]]''' Opens up access to [[Geirskogul]], DRG's only weapon skill with the ({{color|ice|Distor}}{{color|water|tion}}) property. May find niche uses, but will most likely want to prioritize other REMAP options.

[[File:Rhongomiant (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Rhongomiant (Level 119 III)]]''' A strong option for low-buff situations when you can really take advantage of [[Camlann's Torment]] defense ignoring properties.

[[File:Ryunohige (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Ryunohige (Level 119 III)]]''' Considered to be a high quality option (at or better than Trishula) when sufficiently geared and spamming [[Drakesbane]] in a fully buffed zerg situation.

[[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] '''[[Trishula]]''' The bread-and-butter option. Relatively easy to obtain with very high damage potential. Works well either in a party/raid zerg situation or solo self-skillchaining.

[[File:Gae Buide (Level 119 III) icon.png|link=]] '''[[Gae Buide (Level 119 III)]]''' The top tier option, but it comes with a very large barrier to entry. If this is your chosen Prime and you do do enough Sortie to support the grind to stage 4 and beyond, then you will be rewarded with an incredible polearm.

[[File:Shining One icon.png|link=]] '''[[Shining One]]''' Even easier to obtain than Trishula and can be very competitive with the REMAP options. Damage from [[Impulse Drive]] scales well with WSD and crit.

[[File:Aram icon.png|link=]] '''[[Aram]]''' If you find yourself needing a full subtle blow kit on Dragoon then Path B will be the way to go. It simply won't compete with the other polearms on damage, however.

[[File:Naegling icon.png|link=]] '''[[Naegling]]''' Love it or hate it, it's likely here to stay. Dragoon's tp generation and weapon skill damage potential are a lethal combination with a Naegling equipped. Really shines in segment runs where your main goal is kill each target in a single weapon skill. Dragoon does only come with a C- Sword rating so accuracy may be a concern, especially at low to medium master levels. Also always useful for those fights where everyone is using Savage Blade in order to avoid skillchaining.

[[File:Mafic Cudgel icon.png|link=]] '''[[Mafic Cudgel]]''' The only club option. Use it to slap skeletons in Odyssey C.

==Job-Specific Armor==

Note: The augments on Relic pieces, and some special attributes (eg Ancient Circle +1) are available at the base 119 version of the item. If the piece is only used for this purpose, then you do not need to fully upgrade the item to +3 to gain those effects. The recommendations in "Upgrade?" box refer to my personal opinion on whether the item should go all the way to +3.

==Engaged Sets==

The goal of any engaged or "TP" set on Dragoon is to generate TP as quickly as possible '''(while not dying - and not letting your wyvern die!)''' in order to reach 1000 TP and be able to perform a weapon skill. The most important thing you can do as a damage dealer is stay alive - and so having the proper amount of defensive stats in your engaged set is paramount. Besides staying alive, the next two most important aspects to any engaged set are accuracy and haste. Much like your defensive needs, your accuracy needs will vary widely depending on exactly what you are fighting. In my opinion most (if not all) accuracy issues should try to remedied by 1. Higher master levels 2. Using the appropriate buffs and/or debuffs (BRD/GEO/COR/RDM) 3. Food. Note that any additional accuracy beyond the amount needed to reach the 95% cap is wasted.

Haste is the other critical component of a TP set, and you always want to come as close to the overall delay-reduction cap of 80% as possible, regardless of the encounter. Dragoon is in a unique position when it comes to haste due to the effects granted by the [[Wyvern (Dragoon Pet)]] - specifically 10% Job Ability (JA) Haste - and the ability to still obtain additional JA Haste via a support job (either [[Hasso]] or [[Last Resort]]). Most commonly, you will likely be /SAM, and have [[Hasso]] with 100% uptime providing an additional 10% JA haste - this means that you need only 17% gear haste to reach the overall 80% delay reduction with full magic haste. With /DRK and [[Last Resort]] giving 15% JA haste, the amount needed on gear falls even lower (but only during Last Resort). With all of that said, the sets provided in this guide (other than /DNC) still prioritize reaching the 25% gear haste cap for the simple reason that support jobs are not available in one of the two main components of end-game content - Odyssey Sheol Gaol.

Once you have achieved the necessary levels of gear haste for your support job and enough accuracy to reach the cap, you can begin looking to maximize your Store TP and Multi-Hit (double/triple/quad attack).

==Weapon Skill Sets==
Weapon skill sets (except Diarmuid and Leg Sweep) are borrowed from the "[https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/57175/all-jobs-damage-simulator-and-gear-sets All Jobs Damage Simulator and Gear Sets]" created by Izanami. These sets are generated by his python simulator and have proven quite reliable and accurate in my experience. It is worth noting that some sets here include the [[Rigorous Grip +1]], however since you can't switch grips when using a weapon skill I would suggest that [[Utu Grip]] is the default full time option on meaningful content. The 30 accuracy and 70 hp is likely more valuable than a small weapon skill damage increase, unless you are 100% certain you are accuracy capped. Like all things FFXI, you can and should adapt the situation at hand and the gear at your disposal. (Including fitting in your chosen TVR Ring, and slotting in your [[Pel. Earring +2]] -- if you are so lucky)

Note: Use the 'Expand' link at the bottom of each section for more information about the sets.

==Job Ability Sets==

A quick note on these sets - it is possible to min/max some of these even further by including extremely niche pieces which will provide only negligibly increased utility. At this point in the game, I find myself weighing the benefits of an item against the inventory space needed to hold on to it. As such I choose not include things like "Acro" gear in the breath sets. Besides the inventory space, it is possible to be hit while activating a job ability or other breath, and I would argue that maintaining proper DT levels/MEVA throughout these sets is more important than eeking out a few dozen dps, or getting an extra 50 hp on your Steady Wing. Of course feel free to customize as needed. Check out [[User:Tatang|Tatang's page]] for even more comprehensive sets.

==Starter Gear==

Rather than try to create specific sets of gear for various levels of progression, I think it will be more beneficial to provide optimal sets to work toward paired with explanations of what to look for in each set - the "why" behind the set - and then let each player mix and match from their own gear to create gear sets that work for their current level of progression. Here I will try to show items for each slot which may be of use to up and coming Dragoons working toward the sets shown above.

One thing to note - I would urge any new player, or anyone looking to gear a Dragoon from zero to prioritize [[Sortie]] as much as possible. Getting 50,000 Gallimaufry and obtaining 5/5 Empyrean +2 will do more for you than almost anything else. The base stats (str/dex/meva/mdef/attack/acc) on all these items is very high compared to anything else you can reasonably obtain quickly. Even if you end up choosing to use some pieces where other (more geared) players may not (for example using [[Pelt. Cuissots +3]] in your TP set) you will likely be in great shape to while you continue building up your collection of other items.

| align="left" | The precursor to [[Shining One]] and a great option even at this stage. It takes 16,500 ambuscade hallmarks to reach this point. Prioritize getting this ASAP when starting out.

==Skillchains==

Here are some common self skillchain sequences a Dragoon can execute. [[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] denotates the need of Trishula to continue the Skillchain.

*[[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] Stardiver → [[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] Stardiver = {{color|dark|Darkness}}
*Stardiver → Sonic Thrust = {{color|ice|Distor}}{{color|water|tion}} → Stardiver = '''Darkness''' → [[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] Stardiver = {{color|dark|Umbra}}
*Penta Thrust → Stardiver = {{color|light|Transfixion}} → Sonic Thrust = {{color|ice|Distor}}{{color|water|tion}} → Stardiver = {{color|dark|Darkness}} → [[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] Stardiver = {{color|dark|Umbra}}
*Stardiver → Camlann's Torment = {{color|lightning|Fragmen}}{{color|wind|tation}} → Drakesbane = {{color|light|Light}} → Camlann's Torment = {{color|light|Light}} ([[File:Trishula icon.png|link=]] creates {{color|light|Radiance}} instead of double light)
*Stardiver → Sonic Thrust = {{color|ice|Distor}}{{color|water|tion}} → Drakesbane = {{color|fire|Fus}}{{color|light|ion}} → Stardiver = {{color|dark|Gravi}}{{color|earth|tation}} → Camlann's Torment = {{color|lightning|Fragmen}}{{color|wind|tation}} → Drakesbane = {{color|light|Light}} → Camlann's Torment = {{color|light|Light}}
