Guest Nebka Report post Posted May 28 With the new 6.4 gear updates to the page, why would you take the credendum gauntlets and an accessory over the legs instead? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is somewhat of a personal preference, but realistically you should be following the set listed. The only benefit from the legs over the two pieces of accessory + gloves is that the legs give you +900-ish HP. The accessory+gloves grant you a large amount of additional DPS output by comparison. Something like 30+ additional, due to hitting a Strength stat tier. This is true regardless of racial choice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Gast Report post Posted June 9 Hello im new to FF14. In the guide it says - Dragoon Stat Priority The stat priority for Dragoon is as follows: Weapon Damage; Strength; Critical Hit Rate; Determination = Direct Hit Rate; Skill Speed. So i have a weapon that has +5 damage over the weapon that i have equipped. the one with more damage has item level 49 or 50 but lower strength, lower critical, lower vitality and direct hit on it. the other has well -5 damage but +5 to 7 strenght, vitality, critical hit and determination and even marteria slots on in. and heres my question - is damage that important that i can ignore the bonus stats and item level that are lower because the ingame optimizer suggests me to equipp the one with more damage but lower bonus stats ? tbh that doesn't make sense to me.

Physical Damage is far and away the strongest stat on gear. This is true to the point of getting +1 Physical Damage beats out +100 secondary stats at max level. Easily. The conversions from one to another aren't precise, but with a swing of +5, you shouldn't need anything other than a couple smacks on a dummy to see that the weapon with higher physical damage is significantly superior. That being said, the only way I can see this being true is if your -5 weapon is a crafted/white gear and is normal quality, rather than high quality. If you get the high quality version, instead, it should snap that physical damage gap closed and make it much clearer for you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, I'm going to attach some images here. To clarify what Evie said, items can come in normal quality and high quality variants. ARR specifically is notorious for having some odd gearing choices. With that being said, the Giant's Gall Trident DOES come in high quality. Here's the images of the difference. Basically, ignore the normal quality, they shouldn't even exist and SE is just behind the curve on removing them from the game, all they do is harm new players. With this being said, if you're level 50, go to Mor Dhona and buy the Tomestone gear at the vendor. It's item level 130 and the best option for you until you reach Heavensward.
