CatsEyeXI Summoner Gear Guide Intro

All-in-one gear reference for end-game summoner (75) on CatsEyeXI written by Misara. May this information help you navigate the myriad of customized equipment options. Guide is organized into both gear per slot and gear set options.

Note: This guide is written from the perspective of an CatsEyeXI AcceleratedACE account and thus will not include Crystal WarriorCW or Wings-Era WarriorWeW exclusive gear. Adding that custom gear into this guide with proper designations by account type will be a future stretch goal.

How to Choose Gear

This guide does not teach how to play a summoner. It does not cover in-depth explanations about each item property. There are already many amazing guides that cover summoner and are relevant for CatsEyeXI summoners. Below is a summary of item properties with links to further reading.

  • Summoning Magic -- spell interruption rate, accuracy and potency of spells and abilities used by the summoned avatar or spirit, increase MP gained from using Elemental Siphon, and determine the potency of Avatar's Favor. (Above natural cap, +1 skill provides +1 physical/magical accuracy to avatar).
  • Blood Pact Ability Delay(I) -- reduces base delay of 60 seconds to allow more frequent use of Blood Pact: Rage or Blood Pact: Ward. Caps at -15 seconds.
  • Blood Pact Ability Delay(II) -- further reduces base delay of 60 seconds to allow more frequent use of Blood Pact: Rage or Blood Pact: Ward. Caps at -15 seconds. Stacks with Blood Pact Ability Delay (I).
  • Avatar perpetuation cost- -- reduces ongoing mana cost for summoner to keep an Avatar out.
  • Blood Boon -- Occasionally cuts down MP cost of Blood Pact abilities. Does not affect abilities that require Astral Flow. (Similar to Conserve MP).
  • Pet: <property> and Avatar: <property> -- Both prefixes are interchangeable for summoners. Denotes a property that directly modifies the avatar. <Properties> available on Summoner Gear: Accuracy, Attack, Defense, Magic Defense, Regen, Enmity, Double Attack, Haste, Phys. Damage Taken, Magic Atk. Bns., Magic Accuracy, Blood Pact Dmg.

Notations

  • () Indicates some degree of CatsEyeXI customization.
  • (BOLDED) Important summoner properties will be bolded for easy reference.
  • (Italicized) Author opinions often appear as italicized text and are included to provide useful context.

How Augments Will Be Displayed

  • Abjuration Augments will only include relevant options and will be displayed as a range with the maximum for HQ versions appearing in parenthesis when relevant.
    • Example: Summoning magic skill +1~5(6) (Zenith Pumps)
  • Artifact +1 Augments and Salvage Augments will include values for all 3 tiers in a graduated format even if that stat isn't present on all tiers.
    • Example: Refresh +0/0/1 MP Recovered while healing +2/3/4 (Evoker's Horn +1)
  • Dynamis Augments will only list values for the 10th and final tier and it is strongly recommended you visit that subpage and view the property progression before upgrading.
    • Example: MP+30 Fast Cast +3% Avatar: Blood Pact Dmg +4 (Sumoner Doublet +1)
  • Dragonslaying Augments will only list values for the 5th and final tier. Upgrades always fit a pattern where 2 properties scale evenly every tier and final tier adds a new property.
    • Example: MP+15 Enmity-5 INT+3 (Rimestone)
  • Adept Reforging currently doesn't exist for Summoner as they have no lv70+ JSE and their lv50 Austere/Penance set is not up-leveled on CatsEyeXI to fill the gap.
    • Example: not applicable

Source: Salvage Gear
Sources should be mostly self-explanatory. The major exception is Salvage armor pieces (15/25/35) are not obtained via salvage. They have a few sources on CatsEyeXI: Venture Bosses, Sky 2.0, Land Kings, Wyrms, and ToAU HNMs. The table will not list out all possible sources.

Gearsets (by purpose)

Blood Pact Ability Delay

Purpose: Blood Pact Ability Delay gear reduces base delay of 60 seconds to allow more frequent use of Blood Pact: Rage or Blood Pact: Ward. Since the majority of a summoner's capabilities are reliant upon blood pacts, this is an extremely important gearset to build. Similar to pre-cast gearsets, the blood pact ability delay property needs only be equipped at the start of the blood pact command, allowing the summoner to swap in different gear before the blood pact ability itself finishes.

Properties: Blood Pact Ability Delay(I) (-15 second cap) & Blood Pact Ability Delay(II) (-15 second cap)

Competes With: Blood Boon (Occasionally cuts down MP cost of Blood Pact abilities)

Best-In-Slot Total: -17 seconds [Breakdown: -2 from ammo's Blood Pact Ability Delay (II) and then up to -15 from: -3(head), -5(body), -2(hands), -2(legs), -2(feet), -2(back), and -2(waist). Up to 3 seconds of Blood Pact Ability Delay reduction is lost to the -15 second cap for Blood Pact Ability Delay (I).]

Early End-Game Example (BP-6 seconds)
Slot Item Property
Head Austere Hat "Blood Pact" ability delay -2
Body Austere Robe "Blood Pact" ability delay -3
Hands Austere Cuffs "Blood Pact" ability delay -1

Notably absent: Pet/Avatar: Double Attack. LSB does *not* consider Double Attack when calculating the blood pact result. [Source accessed March 2025.]

BP: Physical (Accuracy)

Purpose: TODO: explain why accuracy is the first stat to maximize and how the cap varies across different content tiers.

Properties: Summoning Magic (1 skill (over level cap) = 1 accuracy) and Pet/Avatar: Accuracy.

Competes With: Blood Pact Damage (flat % damage boost calculated at end of blood pact result) and Pet/Avatar: Attack/Critical Hit Rate.
