Omni-Gearing for Caster Jobs
This page contains all of the information for gearing multiple jobs that fall under the Caster role category.
Omni-Caster Best-in-Slot
The differences in preferred substats prevents there from being a true omni-BiS set for casters. Black Mage prefers higher amounts of Spell Speed while Red Mage tries to avoid it as much as possible. Summoner can opt for a high or low amount of Spell Speed, allowing it to work with either of the other caster's BiS sets effectively. While some pieces are shared for certain sets on the three casters, meld differences often make it expensive and unreasonable to swap between each caster for whatever content you are doing. Therefore, players who plan on using all three casters will often opt for BiS sets that share a minimum amount of gear. It is possible to have two of the same piece of gear by placing the duplicates in your Chocobo Saddlebag or retainer, but this often requires extra work that will only be necessary for the most dedicated players. Below you can find links to each job's Best-in-Slot pages, as well as links to gearsets that are the easiest for players looking to play all three casters.
The buttons linked below will lead you to the job specific gearing pages.
Low Spell Speed Caster Gearset
This gearset can be used for either Red Mage or Summoner. If playing Summoner, replace the weapon and use the same melds.
High Spell Speed Caster Gearset
This gearset can be used for either Black Mage or Summoner. If playing Summoner, replace the weapon and use two Spell Speed melds. You can also opt to replace Direct Hit and Determination melds on the chestpiece and both rings with Spell Speed melds for Summoner.
