Out of curiosity, what TP thresholds are being used for the simulations? --[[User:Kyte|Kyte]] ([[User talk:Kyte|talk]]) 06:13, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

== Su5 Limbus Armor and non-"best" sets ==
I'm gonna be honest - I think these sets have lost touch with reality entirely at this point. I would like there to be something I can link another human being that has something they can aspire to that isn't just 22 different jobs' pages with "4/5 R30 Limbus armors or maybe 5/5".

I get that this is supposed to be "the best set"! I just don't think that much Limbus is realistic for most human beings, and I think converting all the gear sets into that from their previous ones made these pages actively worse than they previously were. I think most people disagree with me, because nobody's complained yet... but I'm stating my opinion anyway, because this is a discussion page.

Heck, I think it'd be better to have some sets that ''aren't'' the best. Give people some ideas of intermediate gearing, maybe crib from the job guides that already exist. I wouldn't mind populating that myself if that's what it takes! But I don't want to step on any toes touching this lovingly maintained pile of Limbus blue borders I'll never have at R30. -[[User:Staplerguy|Staplerguy]] ([[User talk:Staplerguy|talk]]) 16:35, 11 June 2026 (UTC)

The question becomes: who are these sets for? If they are for the top elite, who already have or are actively making multiple R30 pieces, a player of that caliber should barely need guidance on how to build a set. If they are for the middle of the road player to provide aspirations, they can be discouraging in how difficult or how much time it may take to complete, and offer no alternatives in the interim. If they are for new players, they are completely out of touch on what is realistic. You're too considerate in asking for permission, just make the edits, they will only be for the better and if someone takes issue they can create their own personal curated gear guides. [[User:Hya|Hya]] ([[User talk:Hya|talk]]) 17:31, 11 June 2026 (UTC)

Reasonable take! I like it. That said, i've been convinced by a few others that the correct thing to do is just leave this as is and go update all the individual Community Job Guides instead... so I'm gonna do that :P -[[User:Staplerguy|Staplerguy]] ([[User talk:Staplerguy|talk]]) 15:33, 12 June 2026 (UTC)

I think there is considerable value in adding in a non-R30 Limbus set for each item as well (can still include unranked gear), so if you are inclined, I think it would be collectively appreciated. --[[User:Kyte|Kyte]] ([[User talk:Kyte|talk]]) 14:11, 30 June 2026 (UTC)

Wanted to add my voice in agreement that all the R30 limbus gear all over the place is sort of unhelpful/pointless - after all, if the methodology for these sets originally was to not consider R30 Nyame surely there has to be some built in understanding of what is meaningfully attainable. On top of that there's a fair bit of ambiguity in some places such as the DRG gearsets where I'm guessing that the sets intend the shown limbus gear to be R30 but nothing on the page actually says that, which may easily lead some players to misunderstand what they're looking at. --[[User:Sodako|Sodako]] ([[User talk:Sodako|talk]]) 03:34, 19 August 2026 (UTC)

==Samurai Tank Equipment Guide by Sodako==

As a result of some relatively recent changes to the Samurai job, Samurai have become able to tank, though most people don't really accept them as potential tanks because not many people have tried it, and even less people have tried it with appropriate equipment. Currently, Samurai still aren't accepted as potential tanks, however this guide is part of an effort to encourage people to try them as tanks and to allow them to prove themselves in party situations as a capable alternative to Paladins.

For the moment, this guide will only address equipment selection. In the future I may expand it to discuss different tactics as a Samurai tank, however at the moment it is too new of a concept to really have any advanced ideas considered for it.

This guide is meant exclusively for players who are already familiar with the way that most things work in the game, and it likely will ''not'' be written in a way that will be easy for newer players who aren't as familiar with game dynamics to understand and utilize.

==Levels 1-10==

During these levels, pretty much everyone solos, so tanking gear has no real purpose or meaning, and gear in general doesn't really change much about the way you fight, so just equip what you normally would for a DD in this range.

==Levels 10-20==
Level 10 -
*[[Scale Mail Set]] - This set is the first real basic defense set of armor. For tanking from 10-16, this is pretty much the best you can get besides the HQ version. The NQ set offers +29 defense, while the HQ offers +34.

Level 13 -
*[[Power Gi]] - While this guide is about tanking as a Samurai, your primary method of holding hate revolves around your damage dealing ability, at least later on in the game, so while your primary objective should be to minimize the amount of damage you take, your ability to cut things to shreds is also important and should not be neglected. As a result, the Power Gi is a good piece to wear as long as you are still taking an acceptably low amount of damage with it equipped.

Level 14 -
*[[Stamina Ring]] - Ideally, it would be good to pick up a pair of Stamina Rings to TP in so that you take less damage per hit from enemies, however you could probably get away with just wearing strength rings for the time being.
*[[Courage Ring]] - If you don't wear these 100% of the time, they should be macro'd in for weapon skills.
*[[Balance Ring]] - Due to the update on August 27, 2007, when using 2 handed weapons, one dexterity now translates to 1 accuracy, and as a result you can easily get +4 accuracy overall from rings, and at this level, that is quite impressive. If you want to get fancy, you would carry all three pairs of rings, using STR for weapons skills, VIT for tanking, and DEX for everything else and when Third Eye is up.

Level 16 -
*[[Bone Harness Set]] / [[Bone Harness Plus 1 Set]] - The NQ Bone Harness set is the next logical step in armor after the Scale Mail set, and its NQ offers a solid +38 defense. However, the HQ version is relatively affordable and offers not only +44 defense, but +5 evasion. With most armor, it is not reccomended to buy the HQ versions, however the Bone Harness set is definitely an exception, and is worth the extra gil it will cost you.

Level 17 -
*[[Lizard Jerkin Set]] - Only one level later, you will gain access to the Lizard Jerkin set, which is somewhere between the NQ and HQ Bone Harness sets in effectiveness. It offers +41 defense, so if you held out and didn't buy either Bone Harness set, its your best bet, but if you have the money for the HQ Bone Harness set you should stick to that, and if you already purchased the NQ Bone Harness set at 16 theres not much of a point in switching a level later for just +3 defense.

==Level 20-30==
Level 21 -
*[[Beetle Harness Set]] / [[Beetle Harness Plus 1 Set]] - This set is pretty much the same deal as the Bone Harness set except 5 levels higher. The NQ offers +49 defense, 8 more than the Lizard Jerkin set, while the HQ offers +54 defense and the same +5 evasion as the Bone Harness Plus 1 set. Again, much like the Bone Harness set, if you have the money, it is highly reccomended to purchase the HQ set.

Level 24 -
*[[Iron Chainmail Set]] - Chainmail is the next major step forward in tanking gear available to you as a Samurai, offering +61 defense, putting it 7 defense higher than the Beetle Harness Plus 1 set. It is debatable how useful 7 defense is, but 5 evasion isn't that big of a deal either, so depending on what you think about the way things work in FFXI, you may or may not hesitate to upgrade so that you could keep the +5 evasion gained from the HQ Beetle Harness set.

Level 25 -
*[[Windurstian Gi Set]] / [[Federation Gi Set]] - While primarily a damage dealer's set, some pieces in the Windurstian/Federation Gear set are quite close to the Chainmail set in defense, but also offer other bonuses. Depending on how you feel about your ability to take damage at this level, you may or may not want to swap out different pieces of Chainmail for their Windurstian/Federation counterparts.
*[[Bastokan Harness Set]] / [[Republic Harness Set]] - The Bastokan/Republic set is pretty much the same as the Windurstian/Federation sets as far as swapping out with the Chainmail set goes. The most notorious piece of this set by far is the subligar, which while pretty much the best piece of leg gear you can get for a long time as a damage dealer, is. . . well, a subligar.
