The pieces of gear shown here are examples. You can also swap any piece of gear for another that has the same combination of stats (crit+dh, crit+det, etc.), provided it is above the minimum ilvl to fully sync (ilvl 470 for UCOB, ilvl 500 for UWU, ilvl 600 for TEA).
If you do not have a relic weapon, you may replace the
Blade's Acumen with 
Book of Grace.
