White Mage Healer Gear and Best in Slot — Dawntrail 7.4
On this page, you will find the best gear and best-in-slot items for your White Mage Healer in Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail (Patch 7.4).
White Mage Gearsets (BiS)
This page will contain all the endgame best-in-slot (BiS) gearsets for White Mage for the current patch. Sets are made with a simulator that takes into account Mana uptime, a statistic to measure how long a job can continually cast before it runs out of Mana, in addition to averaging the DPS output of a set to compare to others. If you wish to see more about these sets, to check out additional sets, or simply desire to fiddle around with gearsets yourself to compare to what we've found, you can go to the White Mage Gear Calculator Spreadsheet.
If you are currently gearing up your White Mage, you can find more information about how certain stats and substats affect this job in our guide's melding section.
Best in Slot by Encounter
Occult Crescent Gearsets
These gearsets use the new Phantom Weapons available in the instanced encounter, Occult Crescent. These weapons are job-specific and can be enhanced as players progress through the Phantom Weapon quests.
Players are recommended to use the following best-in-slot gearsets if they plan to tackle The Forked Towers in Occult Crescent. The gearsets use a combination of gear or tomestone gear upgrades from the following:
- [Field Operations] Occult Crescent
- [Normal/Savage Raid] AAC Cruiserweight M1-M4
- [Savage Raid] AAC Light-Heavyweight M1-M4
- [Dawntrail Dungeon] The Underkeep
- [Sack of Nuts] Dawn Hunts
- [Ordelle Coin Exchange] Jeuno: The First Walk
As the recommended food will be different per spell speed tier,
please check the bottom of the preferred gearset for confirmation. All gearsets used in
The Forked Towers should use the recommended potions
Grade 4 Gemdraught of Mind or
Super-Ethers (for progression).
Patch 7.4 Gearsets (AAC Heavyweight Prog Sets)
This section will be updated with gearsets in the coming weeks. As AAC Heavyweight (Savage) duties release Tuesday, January 6th, 2026, players are highly recommended to farm as many Allagan Tomestones of mnemonics during this time.
When aiming to clear, recommended potions are
Grade 4 Gemdraught of Mind.
Players can also opt for
Super-Ethers if they require extra help with MP management.
Keep in mind that
Super-Ethers share the same consumable cooldown timer as
Grade 4 Gemdraught of Mind.
For progressing in the AAC Heavyweight (Savage) Raids, a variety of different spell speeds are compatible with White Mage. The gearsets and budget alternatives assume players have access to the following:
- [High-End Trial] Hell on Rails (Extreme)
- [Normal/Savage Raid] AAC Heavyweight M1-M4
- 3-4 weeks of farming Allagan Tomestones of Mnemonics (450 per week)
Ensure you check which food the gearset uses. Some prefer
Popoto Potage
for the Spell Speed, while others use
Caramel Popcorn.
Multiple Weeks of Tomes
If you have multiple weeks of tomes prior to raiding, we suggest using the following sets. If you want to be efficient with your tomes, the Final BiS Track sets (labelled A) are recommended. However, keep in mind they have lower damage and higher Piety. You can achieve GCDs varying from 2.30 to 2.41.
There are six Final BiS Track sets available, all using the following gear:
Bygone Brass Shirt of Healing
Bygone Brass Bracelet of Healing
Bygone Brass Ring of Healing (Only for A Gearsets)
You will need at least 1,575 Allagan Tomestones of mnemonics. Click to open the full view, where you can see the other GCD gearsets.
If you want the highest damage possible, you will need to get the following gearsets instead (labelled B). You can achieve GCDs varying from 2.30 to 2.43. They all use the following gear:
Bygone Brass Shirt of Healing
Bygone Brass Bracelet of Healing
Bygone Brass Earrings of Healing (Only for B Gearsets)
For additional gearsets, see all gearsets here.
Recommended Normal Raid Gear Purchase Priority
Some purchases from the [Normal Raid] AAC Heavyweight M1-M4 duties can replace crafted gear for progression. This will greatly depend on your preferred sub-stats or available budget.
Players are recommended to obtain the equipment (via exchange tokens) in the following order:
Heavyweight Breeches of Healing (via Heavy Holotrousers x4)
Heavyweight Sabatons of Healing (via Heavy Hologreaves x2)
Heavyweight Neckband of Healing (via Heavy Holoring x1)
Heavyweight Bracelets of Healing (via Heavy Holoring x1)
If players do not want to pentameld
Courtly Lover's Shoes of Healing,
they should prioritize picking up a
Heavyweight Sabatons of Healing for Savage Raid
progression instead. Proceed to get the remaining Heavyweight Equipment
if you would like budget alternatives, but they will all have lower
damage overall.
Tomestone Gear Purchase Priority
Players should ideally pick up all of the Tomestone Equipment listed here for their Best-in-Slot. Try not to deviate from the recommended order when possible.
- [Body]
Bygone Brass Shirt of Healing - [Wrist]
Bygone Brass Bracelet of Healing - [Ring]
Bygone Brass Ring of Healing - [Earring]
Bygone Brass Earrings of Healing - [Ring]
Bygone Brass Ring of Healing (for Double Tome sets)
Crafted Only Gearsets
If you are unable to farm multiple weeks of tomes, try the following gearsets instead. Click to view the other gearsets at various GCDs, ranging from 2.44 to 2.29.
All of the gearsets assume you have a high budget for melding. Consider
using the
Heavyweight Breeches of Healing to save on costs and bring higher
damage. If you have a lower budget, use any of the slower sets and remove
overmelds that are not Spell Speed nor Critical Hit.
The crafted sets are currently a work in progress. You can view all of the related gearsets here.
Patch 7.4 Gearsets (AAC: Heavyweight Savage BiS Sets)
Ensure you check which food the gearset uses. Some prefer
Popoto Potage
for the Spell Speed, while others use
Caramel Popcorn.
For parsing in the AAC Heavyweight (Savage) Raids, a variety of different spell speeds work with White Mage. You can also feel free to use other Healer gearsets, or the Omnihealer BiS, for better role compatibility.
You can consider the following options from the gearsets available:
- Max Item Level sets for the upcoming Ultimate
- Double Tome Ring sets for maximum damage
For the Double Tome Ring set, you need to augment one ring first
into an Augmented Bygone Brass Ring of Healing, then buy a second copy of
Bygone Brass Ring of Healing. As these are unique items, the second ring
must be left unaugmented.
Futures Rewritten Prog Sets
As of Patch 7.3, to clear Futures Rewritten (Ultimate), players are suggested to wear equipment with an item level between 730 to 735. Any equipment at a higher item level will have its stats synced appropriately.
The progression gearsets assume you have cleared the following duties:
- [Chaotic Alliance Raid] The Cloud of Darkness (Chaotic)
- [Savage Raids] AAC Light-heavyweight M1-M4 (Savage)
- [Dungeon] The Meso Terminal
Both of the sets below include gear from the Level 100 Dungeon, The Meso Terminal. If you prefer to not farm the dungeon gear, you can review the suggested gearsets here instead.
If you are able to obtain the Phantom relic weapon, it will be a better
weapon alternative to the
Dark Horse Champion's Cane. Phantom relic
weapons are available through the Occult Crescent field operations.
The Omega Protocol Prog Sets
Ultimate prog sets forgo a bit of damage for higher Vitality, Determination, and Piety than speed kill-focused savage sets. The below sets are excellent options if you are planning on doing the latest ultimate.
TOP Prog Sets
TOP ended up being substantially lighter on healing and heavier on damage requirements than prior ultimates, so this set aims for more damage at the expense of piety compared to prior ultimate sets. However, it still maintains the maximum vitality required for some damage checks. 2.34 GCD is preferred for alignment with various fight mechanics.
Dragonsong's Reprise Prog Sets
This ultimate is also fairly easy on your MP pool and can be comfortably progged in a fairly low piety set. If for some reason your group decided against using tank invulns in phase 7, the higher piety can ease the load of the extra GCD heals you'll need. The dungeon gear comes from Lapis Manalis.
The Epic of Alexander (TEA) Best in Slot
We have decided to not include full gear sets for The Epic of Alexander anymore, as your gear choices make very little difference in how much damage you do due to how gear syncs and removes melds.
The item level listed below will outline what item level is required to max out both substats on gear for the fight. Prioritize gear with Crit and do not be afraid to grab some additional piety slots if needed. This is because the early phases of this fight can still be taxing.
All gear above the specified item level will work:
- Item level 595
With that being said, the biggest difference that can be made to your gear set will be equipping an ilvl 515 or 535 Shadowbringers Relic weapon. Due to the nature of how substats are allocated on these weapons, it enables you to utilize more substats than what’s intended on a normal weapon. Stat allocation is as follows:
- 184 Critical Hit / 184 Determination / 100 Spell Speed
Spell Speed or Determination can be swapped for additional Piety if needed. Keep in mind, the Relic weapon is NOT mandatory to clear these fights. It only provides a buffer for mistakes. It is up to the player to make the decision if the grind is worth it.
The Weapon's Refrain (UWU) Best in Slot
We’ve decided to not include full gear sets for The Weapon's Refrain anymore, as your gear choices make very little difference in how much damage you do due to how gear syncs and removes melds.
The item level listed below will outline what item level is required to max out both substats on gear for the fight. Prioritize gear with Crit and do not be afraid to grab some additional piety slots if needed. This is because White Mage at Level 70 has fewer MP tools.
All gear above the specified item level will work:
- Item level 500
With that being said, the biggest difference that can be made to your gear set will be equipping an ilvl 515 or 535 Shadowbringers Relic weapon. Due to the nature of how substats are allocated on these weapons, it enables you to utilize more substats than what’s intended on a normal weapon. Stat allocation is as follows:
- 136 Critical Hit / 136 Determination / 136 Spell Speed / 60 Piety
Keep in mind, the Relic weapon is NOT mandatory to clear these fights. It only provides a buffer for mistakes. It’s up to the player to make the decision if the grind is worth it.
The Unending Coil of Bahamut (UCoB) Best in Slot
We’ve decided to not include full gear sets for The Unending Coil of Bahamut anymore, as your gear choices make very little difference in how much damage you do due to how gear syncs and removes melds.
The item level listed below will outline what item level is required to max out both substats on gear for the fight. Prioritize gear with Crit and do not be afraid to grab some additional piety slots if needed. This is because White Mage at Level 70 has fewer MP tools.
All gear above the specified item level will work:
- Item level 470
With that being said, the biggest difference that can be made to your gear set will be equipping an ilvl 515 or 535 Shadowbringers Relic weapon. Due to the nature of how substats are allocated on these weapons, it enables you to utilize more substats than what’s intended on a normal weapon. Stat allocation is as follows:
- 127 Critical Hit / 127 Determination / 127 Spell Speed / 87 Piety
Keep in mind, the Relic weapon is NOT mandatory to clear these fights. It only provides a buffer for mistakes. It’s up to the player to make the decision if the grind is worth it.
