What is the best possible endgame gear a RNG can have, and why?

Limitations include: Can't be AMK/ACP/ASA gear. Can't be relic/mythic weapons (Relic armor is ok, thats easy to get).

Gil doesn't matter. NMs doesn't matter. Just curious as to what to get for my RNG when its at 75.

Having a specific Unlimited Shot arrow/bullet/bolt would also help.

Doesn't matter if its a gun, a bow, or a crossbow.

Also want main/sub weapons (sub only for /NIN, but I'll take any advice for /SAM or /WAR) and any TPing gear and WSing gear advice also please.

Thank you in advance.

Edit: Would also help if you are a RNG75 giving this advice. RNG0s {No thanks!}

Because someone without Ranger couldn't possibly know how to gear it, amirite?

No, a RNG75 would know what works for that level.

Somebody who doesn't have RNG at that level wouldn't know what would be the best possible gear for that job, because they wouldn't have played with it at that level.

I'm asking for advice with experience, not wild guessing. I could make a wild guess at my level, but I wouldn't know for sure.

I wouldn't mind seeing people's input just for future reference since RNG is my next to 75 as well (currently almost (67).

Pet jobs such as SMN BST PUP, and RNG elude me on decent knowledge... everything else I'm decently set on.

Vegetto, if I wanted to know how to be a MNK, I would ask you.

But since you aren't a RNG, please go troll somewhere else.

Thanks though.

I say limitations because I already have gear with AMK/ACP/ASA and am not planning on changing them to fit my RNG. I also don't wish to get a relic, so putting that up there would be pointless.

I want to gear up RNG for the few times that RA is better than anything I can do, like Odin.

I can troll if you really want me to. I simply quoted someone else, in which I agreed with.

I'm inclined to agree with Vegetto. Even though I'm only mnk 75 (and sam 75 on a friends account) I know how to play just about every DD job, better than most people who have the job lvled and even better than people with flashy gear.

It's Drac you should be agreeing with. He's the one who said it. I merely quoted it.

This would be my ideal TP, Mirke has sTP and Snapshot, but you said you couldn't use Mirke, so I'd go for Osode or the Synergy body (Ebur/Furia/Ebon Jerkin).



WS set, Unlimited shot for CCA, otherwise use Kabura.

Depending on fight, you would also want a Novia. Eat curry or Pot-au-feu, should never have to touch sushi, even for HNMs.

Edit: miss linked WS set

Everyone has a general understanding of how a DD job works.

I wish to have advice from those who have it leveled, because they know the details of that job more than anyone else who can just look at wiki.

Experience helps. Thats why I'm asking for advice from RNG75s.

I look under many different sources than wiki. I even ask and observe people playing in game. We still know more than most people who play rng at 75.

sorry... this made me laugh hysterically. i'd give you advice on the whole bit bro, but with all the new stuff coming out. and me not having played for a few months. my advice would be a bit dated haha.


firewalls got a decent setup there. i kinda stopped playing with before the introduction of the newer ring/item sets(like he has there) but i used novia, and hollow for earrings. osode body, and was working towards barbut. i generally rocked /sam or /war so i used vulcans, but kriegs/franny is a solid combo.

Is there any other helms you might recommend?

And another ring for TPing? I have that melee ring for my SAM.

Everything else looks like I can get easy, or already have (Body/Gloves/Back/Earrings/Rajas/Neck).

Sadly i have to agree with korpg, just because you know how to drive a car doesn't mean you'll drive them all perfectly from the moment you sit in the drivers seat.

You could be a fast learner like me sure, but i would never ever say i could play any job i don't even have at 75 with perfect knowledge from the start.

Just sayin~

Could use Behemoth/+1 for TP ring.

Wyvern+1 Could work if you were talking about WS head.

For TP head, the other options are pretty meh, Synergy head has snapshot, other then that, Enkidu cap maybe (I refuse to wear ohat).

AF+1 works well also.

With playstyle, sure you're right here. That comes w/ experience. For example, how much enmity- you may want to wear or when to use your JAs. For pure damage calculations, you can do that perfectly w/o ever having even unlocked the job, provided you understand the mechanics.

Yes, Moogle hat would be the best WS head, but Korpg said that wasn't an option.

Wouldn't Hachiryu Haidate be a better option for WS set? He did say money wasn't a problem.
