For The Shinies! A Guide For Thief

The 'right gear' is all based upon what you're doing at the time. But if you want to be a complete *** *** about it, go ahead. :D I was simply stating a fact. A 50% crit rate with 40 dex isn't going to win over a 48% crit rate with 108 dex.

Sucks though swapping one piece isn't going to give you 108 DEX and 48% crit rate vs 50% rate 40 dex though aye.

So I've recently came back from a 3 month break, and I'm playing catch up atm. i have a few sets i'm working on. And I'm not entirely sure if I'm missing any important gear items. Aside from Stuff that was just recently released.

All are TP sets i use in various situations.

First is crit/dw
mandau/atoyac(oat/crit4%)x/yetshila
uk'uxkaj/nef/dw set
relic+1/af+1/rajas(thinking of onieros)/eponas
rancorous/patentia/af+1/relic+1

second is multiattack(capped haste)
mandau/atoyac/x/vanir battery
filistris/asparity/da set
qaaxo(workingonit)qaaxo(working on it)oneiros/eponas
atheling(have more options)/windbuffet/qaaxo?(unsure)/relic+1

That's just two for now i suppose. Any suggestions for upgrades please give me some positive feedback etc. Thanks :)

The Multi att set is for capped haste situations is how i thought dw worked?

Edit: and I can search through each slot for best multi attack, but it's more for capped haste/songs/samba etc

It's just the way item sets work on here... it always assumes relics are 75, and puts the higher level item in main hand.

Sometimes you can con it into going on the main hand, but I have no idea how (I just did it). I think it has something to do with being higher on the list.. but totally random.

No, w/e weapon you add first will end up in the offhand once you add the second weapon. It has nothing to do with base damage. And if you want to add a 119 R/M/E don't type the name, type the items code.

For Mandau 119 it's, 20555, just type that and click add item.

If you want Mandau 119 to show up in the main hand make sure it's the second weapon you add to an item set. The same thing goes for rings/earrings.

Also, if you are changing weapons/earrings/rings around on an item set you already have made, make sure you delete them in the right order. If you try to add the same weapon you just deleted it will glitch and put them back in the same slots. Make sure you delete them in the opposite order you are going to re-add them.

I might be making that sound a bit complicated but not quite sure how else to explain it.

How do you find the Item ID's here?

I usually go to FFXIAH News >> and find the Items Updated thread where it was added, than click on it. The 5 digit number you see in the web address is the items code.

I wish it was that simple Q_Q I always added the offhand first, then when I add mandau, I assumed since it was the 75 version it was always relegated to the offhand, even when I would add like 15 daggers, then start deleting them, it would end up in the wrong spot. Even if I would add say, izhiikoh > mandau > mandau > izhiikoh > twashtar then start deleting it would add mandau as the offhand.

The only way I finally got it in the main hand was to add mandaus until it finally ended up higher on the gear list, then delete all the ones below the izhiikoh. The order in which they appeared seemed to be completely random in the gear order list. Never the top or the bottom, just somewhere in the arbitrary middle.

ItemSet 326346
input /equip main "Izhiikoh";
input /equip sub "Mandau";
ItemSet 326347
input /equip main "Izhiikoh";
input /equip sub "Mandau";

First one was entered Izhiikoh > Mandau
Second one was entered as Mandau > izhiikoh

They both ended up in the exact same order, regardless of the order in which they were typed.

Using Izhiikoh > 20555 will make it work properly, but the only way to do it by name is to have the level 75 relic, Didn't know the ID for 119, and ffxiah will always put the main hand as the higher level weapon, unless you can glitch it by adding multiple of the same relic.
ItemSet 326348
input /equip main "Mandau";
input /equip sub "Izhiikoh";

This is what I would aim for, for most fodder content including, but not limited to, Salvage/Dynamis/Limbus/solo merits/capacity points.

ItemSet 326314

24% haste
36% Critical Hit Rate(assuming capped dDEX)
21% Triple Attack Rate(with merits)

The Cap has 2% haste and +8 DEX on it, which I use for Evisceration as well.

Need +5 TH from gear to reach the cap (8). +3 from Plunderer+1 hands, +1 from Chaac Belt, +1 from AF3+2 feet. Or, if you're missing one of those (or only have the NQ hands), the JSE dagger.
