This Article is a Community Guide
Guides exist as a community effort to help fellow players navigate the game. Opinions and strategies in their content may vary from editor to editor, but feel free to add new or correct out of date information. Guides are subject to the same editing standards of other FFXIclopedia articles.
This guide is meant to be an easy source to read by level... I am sure I missed some items and know others have ideas... please update w/ any gear you see missing.
Italic items are , meaning that only one item of that type can be held by a character at a time. (They are also more likely to be, though not necessarily, very expensive)
Bold items are either or and cannot be bought on the Auction House, meaning you'll have to obtain them via other means (NM, Quest, etc).
