Portions of these gear sets can only be acquired by completing the current savage raids.
Portions of this gear set can only be acquired by completing the Abyssos raid tier.A guide for the content can be found in the link below.
Abyssos Raid Guide
- 645 and 665 relics are identical (due to stat sync).
- If you do not own the Ultimate weapon, use the item-level 645 or 665 relicsword (with Crit + Det > Ten) and replace the dungeon ring with the item-level660 tome ring.
Portions of this gear set can only be acquired by completing the Asphodelos raid tier.A guide for the content can be found links below.
Asphodelos Raid Guide
- 645 and 665 relics are identical (due to stat sync).
- If you do not have the Ultimate sword, use the 645 or 665 relic sword(with Crit + Det > Ten).
- Any gear shown in the gearset at above item level 475 can be any piece withCritical Hit and Determination at or above item level 600. These pieceswill be down-synced so melds do not matter.
- It is not recommended to farm for the dungeon, savage, and old tome piecesif you do not already own them, since the difference between using them andjust using down-synced high-item-level gear is approximately 10 dps (lessthan 0.5%).
- Using the Shadowbringers relic is about 3% better than using a down-syncedCritical Hit and Determination weapon. Whether that is worth the verylong grind is up to you.
It is highly recommended to just down-sync crit+det gear at high enough itemlevel (at least 500 for UWU and 470 for UCoB). If you have the Shadowbringersrelic weapon, cap substats in the order Critical Hit → Determination→ Tenacity → Skill Speed. The sword substat caps are 97 for UWUand 91 for UCoB, while the shield caps at 39 for UWU and 36 for UCoB.
