Last Updated: September 9th, 2018. Now with better idle set options for Ashera Harness/Volte Bracers!
Job Abilities

For survivability, it is best to use iLevel 119 items. They are only on for a couple seconds though, so it is not a huge priority.
Whether your using the +2 augmented piece or the +3 Item Level 119 piece, there is no difference in the strength of the augments.
Soul Voice - Bard's Cannions +2 / Bihu Cannions / Bihu Cannions +1 / Bihu Cannions +2 / Bihu Cannions +3
- Extends Soul Voice duration by 30 seconds
Troubadour - Bard's Justaucorps +2 / Bihu Justaucorps / Bihu Justaucorps +1 / Bihu Justaucorps +2 / Bihu Justaucorps +3
- Extends Troubadour duration by 4 seconds per merit level, for a maximum of 20 additional seconds
Nightingale - Bard's Slippers +2 / Bihu Slippers / Bihu Slippers +1 / Bihu Slippers +2 / Bihu Slippers +3
- Extends Nightingale duration by 4 seconds per merit level, for a maximum of 20 additional seconds
Precast - Songs
|
|
Combined Fast Cast+Song Spellcasting Time cap at 80%.
With near perfect augments on Gendewitha Spats +1 instead of Ayanmo Cosciales +2, you can switch out Enchanter Earring +1 for something else like Ethereal Earring or Genmei Earring. Without perfect augs, you can use Ayanmo Cosciales +2+Voltsurge Torque instead of spending money on Gendewitha Spats +1. Gendewitha Gages +1 are still necessary.
|
|
Complete the RoE Intermediate Objectives to earn a Kupon A-SYW, and exchange it for Gende. Gages +1. Try augmenting it for Song Spellcasting Time -1~5%. Augmenting can be expensive, and is not necessarily required. You still have 65% Fast Cast without an augment.
Midcast - Song Buff
This set, along with proper slot swaps, gives the longest durations possible. On top of that, you also grant the highest potency buffs.
|
|
With Job Master and capped Wind/Singing magic merits, Honor March is capped with this set.
Ballad, swap in Fili Rhingrave +1
Scherzo, swap in Fili Cothurnes +1
Paeon, swap in Brioso Roundlet +2/3
Etude, swap in Mousai Turban/+1
Threnody, swap in Mousai Manteel/+1
Carol, swap in Mousai Gages/+1
Minne, swap in Mousai Seraweels/+1
Mambo, swap in Mousai Crackows/+1
Dirge, swap in Bard's Cuffs +2 /Bihu Cuffs/Bihu Cuffs +1/Bihu Cuffs +2/Bihu Cuffs +3
Sirvente, swap in Bard's Roundlet +2 /Bihu Roundlet/Bihu Roundlet +1
|
|
Do not dual wield the daggers, just pick one you can access easily.
Beginner instrument, pick up a Eminent Flute. Work towards a Linos with All Songs +2 Augment resulting in All Songs +3.
- Ballad, swap in Fili Rhingrave
- Scherzo, swap in Fili Cothurnes
The equipment below is optional, as you probably will not use these songs much.
- Paeon, swap in Brioso Roundlet/+1/2/3
- Etude, swap in Mousai Turban/+1
- Threnody, swap in Mousai Manteel/+1
- Carol, swap in Mousai Gages/+1
- Minne, swap in Mousai Seraweels/+1
- Mambo, swap in Mousai Crackows/+1
Midcast - Song Debuff

We have recently learned (although we would have been able to tell all along, but noone bothered testing...) that "set" bonuses only stack to 5. This being said, 5/5 AF+3 + Regal Earring does not offer x6 set bonuses.
There are alternative earrings out there, including:
- Regal Earring - Continue using this earring if you wish, its CHR +10.
- Enchntr. Earring +1 - CHR +5, and 6 Magic Accuracy. (2% Fast Cast for Song Recast, but that is very insignificant.)
- Gwati Earring - 8 Magic Accuracy
- Darkside Earring - CHR +3, Singing skill +5, Wind instrument skill +5, String instrument skill +5
Replacing a piece of armor might be a better choice. Here are two options to consider:
- Bihu Roundlet +3 - Comparing this to the Brioso Roundlet +3, the results are: CHR -1 Magic Accuracy -10, but Singing Skill +18
- Inyanga Dastanas +2 - Comparing this to the Brioso Cuffs +3, the results are: CHR -7 Magic Accuracy -5, but Singing Skill +3 and Wind Skill +20 (When casting Lullaby, Cuffs +3 still win)
|
|
Mid-Tier set, while you work to afford and earn cards for +3 AF pieces.
The debate is still out on the ratio of CHR:Magic Accuracy:Wind/Singing Skill and which is better. An alternative rings could be Carbuncle Ring +1, but I recommend Stikini NQ. Porous Rope is a good alternative to Ovate Rope, but both are good mid tier choices.
|
|
Complete the RoE Intermediate Objectives to earn a Kupon W-ASCC, and exchange it for a Linos. Try augmenting it for All Songs +2. Until then, use an Eminent Flute.
Try getting a Kali and augmenting it with Path A. Use a Legato Dagger until then.
Midcast - Lullaby
It is not too important for beginners to have a Lullaby set, unless a certain Ambuscade requires long sleeps.
|
|
Note: This set simply gives you the longest possible duration. In ordinary circumstances, I recommend Gjallarhorn instead of Marsyas. Using a string instrument grants a larger area of effect. That might prove useful for events such as Dynamis - Divergence where mass sleeps are used.
Idle
Note: With lockstyle, you will not blink by swapping Linos in/out except for Daurdabla or other additional song harps.
- Ambuscade Cape Discussion: With the defensive stat on Ambuscade Capes added, some very interesting combinations can be made now. The Moonlight Cape offers extra HP, but with an Ashera Harness you really need to switch to an Ambuscade Cape for additional MDT. You ultimately lose 118 HP from switching Ashera and the Moonlight. There are also a few other earring choices (Odnowa Earring, etc) to lower this even more to a negligible amount. A lot of Magic Evasion is gained, though.
Veteran (Access to a lot of content and gil resources)

Stats for the above set: HP+577 Damage Taken -30% Physical Dmg. Taken -20-21% (-4~5% from Linos) Magical Dmg. Taken -22% Magic Evasion +597~602 (+10~15 from Linos) Notes on slots: Feet: Can switch to Inyan. Crackows +2 if you do not care about movement speed. You gain 40 Magic Evasion and 1 Refresh and you can also switch out Etiolation Earring or Inyanga Ring as the feet will cap your MDT. Alternate Earrings if you use Inyanga Feet: Moonshade Earring (Refresh ), Eabani Earring, Ethereal Earring, Hearty Earring Alternate Rings if you use Inyanga Feet: Moonlight Ring (Can then also swap Neck), Vocane Ring/+1, etc
Ashera Harness - Movement Speed+
|
|
Stats for the above set: HP+512 or more depending on second earring choice Damage Taken -31% Physical Dmg. Taken -19% (-5% from Linos) Magical Dmg. Taken -20% Magic Evasion +632 (+15 from Linos) Notes on slots: Main: Access to Dispelga with the club. Odium is also a choice for your mainhand idle dagger. It offers a Death resistance for slightly less MEva. Hands: You do not need to go with Mousai +1. It does, however, offer significantly more evasion and HP over Inyanga. If you want to stay with Inyanga (I would if I didnt have the +1 Mousai version), you can instead switch out the Inyanga Ring for an alternative. Feet: Can switch to Inyan. Crackows +2 if you do not care about movement speed. You gain 40 Magic Evasion and 1 Refresh on top of the stats above, and you can also switch out Etiolation Earring as the feet will cap your MDT. Options for second earring: Ethereal Earring (To make up for losing some auto refresh), Hearty Earring, Moonshade Earring (Refresh ), or Eabani Earring
Ashera Harness + Volte Bracers
|
|
Stats for the above set: HP+458 Damage Taken -31% Physical Dmg. Taken -19% (-5 from Linos) Magical Dmg. Taken -20% (-10 from Back) Magic Evasion +673 (+15 from Linos, +30 from back) Resistance to all status ailments +15 Notes on slots: Main: Can continue to use Sangoma if you prefer the additional Refresh and Regen. It is safe if you want to lose some MEVA here. Feet: Can continue to use Fili Cothurnes +1 for movement speed. You lose 40 Magic Evasion and 1 Refresh, and you'll have to switch back to Etiolation Earring as one earring to keep MDT capped. Alternate Earrings: Moonshade Earring (Refresh ), or Eabani Earring

Beginner's Idle Set Focus: Importance of your idle set should be: Damage Taken => Magic Evasion => Physical Damage Taken => Magic Damage Taken => All else Remember that DT/PDT/MDT all cap at 50%, DT+PDT / DT+MDT are added together to reach this 50% for each stat. Magic Evasion helps negate all magic damage and status ailments.
