2.49 Savage BiS

This is the recommended BiS set for most players. It uses a 2.49 GCD instead of 2.50 to minimize Arcane Circle misalignment and drift, equating to more damage than 2.50.

Use this set unless you play capped on 60 FPS.

60 FPS Capped 2.48 BiS

Because of how framerate and abilities interact in FFXIV, 2.49 GCD while capped at 60 FPS is actually closer to 2.50 GCD. This causes Arcane Circle drift and misalignment. This set uses 2.48 GCD to “correct” this while at 60 FPS, which plays at effectively 2.49 GCD.

Do not use this set unless you are capped at 60 FPS!

Players who are on console should favor this set as console is capped at 60 FPS.

Savage Prog Pentamelded+Tome Neck

A pentamelded option for those who will be capping their tomes before entering savage.

Replace pieces with higher item level pieces as you get them.

Savage Prog Pentamelded Set

The best option for week 1 savage prog. There is no need to use pentamelds if you are not going for a week 1 kill.

Replace pieces with higher item level pieces as you get them.

Savage Prog Economy Set

A gear set for progging savage without breaking the bank.

Replace pieces with higher item level pieces as you get them.

7.05 Dragonsong's Reprise (Ultimate) BiS (Mixed 730 + 600/605 Gear)

This set is currently the best set available and is slightly stronger than the previous BiS set using only 605/600 gear. The 645 and 665 versions of the endwalker relic sync down to be the exact same weapon, so use whichever you have available to you.

Dragonsong's Reprise (Ultimate) BiS (6.3 Dungeon Gear + 6.45 Relic Option)

If using the scythe from DSR, meld two Direct Hit X’s and one Determination X. If you want full compatibility with DRG after acquiring the DSR weapon, change the SKS meld on the head piece to DET and then do DH DH SKS on the weapon.

Note: The 645 and 665 versions of the Manderville weapon are functionally the same in DSR. Use whichever you have and allocate the stats as shown in the etro link.

Dragonsong's Reprise (Ultimate) BiS (No 6.3 Dungeon Gear Option)

The original BiS used for DSR. Use this if you do not want to farm the dungeon gear.

7.05 The Omega Protocol (Ultimate) BiS (Mixed 730 + 630/635 Gear)

This set is currently the best set available and is slightly stronger than the previous BiS set using only 635/630 gear. The 645 and 665 versions of the Endwalker relic sync down to be the exact same weapon, so use whichever you have available to you.

The Omega Protocol (Ultimate) BiS (6.5 Dungeon Gear + 6.45 Relic Option)

Recommended gearset to prog TOP as of patch 6.5. This set includes the Dungeon Gear from patch 6.5, putting this set slightly ahead of the other option.

Note: The 645 and 665 versions of the Manderville weapons are functionally the same in TOP. Use whichever you have and allocate the stats as shown in the etro link.

The Omega Protocol (Ultimate) BiS (No 6.5 Dungeon Gear + No 6.45 Relic Option)

This is just the Abyssos 2.49 BiS, which is slightly lower in DPS than the Dungeon Gear + Relic option. If using the TOP scythe, meld two Direct Hit X’s and one Skill Speed X.

Another Sil'dihn Subterrane BiS

This is the same set as The Omega Protocol. This set is used for both the normal and savage versions of the criterion dungeon.

Another Mount Rokkon/Another AloAlo Island

Both of these criterion dungeons sync to the same level, and use the Anabaseios Savage BiS. This set is used for both the normal and savage versions.
