This guide contains gear choices for the aspiring White Mage. I am aware that there are many other suitable

choices, but my personal belief has always been that I should focus on fast casts, decreased recasts, and slot in as

much mp as possible while using potency items first and MND as a last resort to boost cures. It is in my personal experience

that it takes a significant amount of MND to boost cures by even 1HP, so you will see my focus is on Haste,

Fast Cast, and MP, only slotting MND or Healing Magic Skill in where i have no other alternative from the

items listed above. Also, most WHM gear before the Seer's Tunic Set is pretty basic and there's not much special

about it. So most of those will have to be chosen at the player's discretion.

Weapons[]

Lvl Armor Notes/How To Obtain
1 Maple Wand+1 Woodworking (6/17)
Yield: Maple Wand
HQ 1: Maple Wand +1
Wind Crystal

Low level club wont' provide much except a small MND boost, but can be effective enough if you are soloing in between parties.

9 Willow wand plus1 Woodworking (14/25)
Yield: Willow Wand
HQ: Willow Wand +1
Wind Crystal
10 Pilgrim's Wand ===Notorious Monster===

A wonderful tool for healing MP.

Yield: Yew Wand
HQ 1: Yew Wand +1
Wind Crystal
29 Melampus ===Notorious Monster===

Released in the Evolith/Synergy update with the massive amount of new NMs, this is a beauty for low lv healers.

29 Spiro Staff ===Notorious Monster===

New hMP item for low lv! Use this till Dark Staff.

43 Ceres spica ===Notorious Monster===

Another step in Potency haven before Light Staff.

51 Light Staff

Apollo's Staff

Woodworking (75/86)
Yield: Light Staff
HQ 1: Apollo's Staff
Wind Crystal

This will last a very long time on your WHM. Apollo's is extremely helpful for Repose for the overachiever.

55 DryadStaff Healing Staff ===Notorious Monster/KS99===
75 Teiwaz838 ===Trial of the Magians===
80 Surya'a Staff ==Trial of the Magians==
80 Owleyes ==Abyssea - Tahrongi==

This is a great piece for idle outside of Abyssea, given that you can get so much Refresh from Atmas and mobs hit rediculously hard.

85 Surya's Staff +1 ===Trial of the Magians===
87 File:Tefnut wand.jpg ==Voidwatch: Tier III==

With the addition of Sky gear augments, this combined with cure potency augments on a Genbu's Shield can actually surpass the ToM staves in performance before lv 99.

90 Surya's Staff +2 ==Trial of the Magians==
95 Surya's Staff +3 ==Trial of the Magians==
99 Arka IV ==Trial of the Magians==

Head pieces are pretty cut and dry. Climb the hairpin tree as far as you like. Other than those, there's only a few more useful options. Even artifact armor has little use in comparison.

Yield: Seer's Tunic
HQ 1: Seer's Tunic +1
Earth Crystal

Yup, i started at 29. There is nothing worth mentioning before this, so use whatever you like until this point. This will last you till Artifact Armor.

33 Elders surcoat ===Quest===

Like i pointed out many times in my BLM guide, galka gets the best mage RSE.

58 Healersbriault ===Artifact Armor Quest===
59 File:VermillionCloak.png Clothcraft (70/81)

HQ 1: Royal Cloak
Earth Crystal

Aristocrat's Coat

Clothcraft (87/98)
Yield: Noble's Tunic
HQ 1: Aristocrat's Coat

Recently trumped by augmentable bodies via Abyssea, this is still the best piece for its level.

Yield: Blessed Bliaut
HQ 1: Blessed Bliaut +1
Earth Crystal

Use this for a MaxMP set to cast your buffs and still have near full mp when you're done.

89 Orison Bliaud +1

Orison Bliaud +2

==Trial of the Magians: Armor==

This is the piece you want to strive to full time. IF you can acquire at least 45% potency without using a body piece, the 350 Stoneskin effect from +1 and 400 from +2 will compensate for any lost potency.

70 Blessedmitts Clothcraft (96/107)
Yield: Blessed Mitts
HQ 1: Blessed Mitts +1
Earth Crystal

Haste gear for decreased recasts paired with extra mp and MND. The perfect trio of stats and Blessed gear is full of it.

79 Augur's Gloves ==Abyssea - Tahrongi==

Hooray for another slot with Cure Potency.

87 OrisonMitts2 ==Trial of the Magians==

With Regen becoming a dying spell with the addition of Abyssea, this mainly serves as a macro piece for Divine Caress effects, and of course, the +2 set bonus for barspells.

Rings[]

Lvl Armor Notes/How To Obtain
10 Astral Ring ===BCNM===

A relatively expensive choice for such a low level, but these will last you till 30 and then you can sell them off. If your BCNM luck isn't so great and you don't have the gil to spare, the next couple rings will also get you to 30-40.

14 Energy Ring

Energy Ring Plus 1

You can stick with the Qiqirn sash for the sole reason that it has Mp AND hMP or you can go to this.

50 DesertStone

File:ForestStone.jpg JungleStone OceanStone

===BCNM====

RSE Stones are a great alternative if you choose. 10-20 mp won't make or break you at this point(unless ur Galkan), so if you choose to stay with the hMP belts, they work equally well.

70 Clericsbelt ===Dynamis===

A dream belt for any WHM.

71 HierarchBelt ===BCNM===

Until you get your hands on the sweet Cleric's belt, this is an amazingly cheap item for being the highest Mp in this slot, not to mention the +2 hMP. I used this for almost two years before getting my Cleric's. It will serve you well.

76 Austerity Belt ==Walk of Echoes==

A fairly expensive piece for a max mp set.

These are obtained by doing the quest following the Mhaura mannequin quest. If you don't already have a mannequin, this may be too much hassle.

52 Healers duckbills ===Artifact Armor Quest===
59 Cure-Clogs ===Notorious Monster===

Even at 75, i use these for all my cures.

62 RiverGaiters

===BCNM===
68 Cobra Unit Crackows ===Campaign===
70 BlessedPumps Leathercraft (99/110) Clothcraft (56/67)
Yield: Blessed Pumps
HQ 1: Blessed Pumps +1
Earth Crystal

You probably won't use these for very long if you have the next few pieces, so i wouldn't worry about HQ.

71 LlwydsClogs ===Notorious Monster===

I had just recently noticed these. If you're breaking 1k mp at any time, these will give you at least 40 mp.

72 Mahatma Pigaches Leathercraft (91/102), Clothcraft (52/63)
Yield: Errant Pigaches
HQ 1: Mahatma Pigaches
Earth Crystal

I only listed HQ here because i don't think the NQ version outperforms the other options i have here.

73 Zenith Pumps ===Notorious Monster===

Items needed:

75 Goliard clogs ==Nyzul Isle Investigation==
  • Floor 20
75 File:RostrumPumps.jpg ===Notorious Monster===

A very fun fight in Attohwa Chasm. You get to spawn one mob that spawns another mob that finally drops your junk. When you're not casting cures, this is great for the substantial mp boost and Fast Cast effect.

81 Orison Duckbills 2 ==Trial of the Magians==

I macro these in for Stoneskin, the +10 extra Subtle Blow to Auspice and barspells.
