    Levels of endgame gear

    What are the categories for endgame gear that are job specific? What are the common names that people are calling them since it's a little different than 11?

    i.e.
    BLM has wizard's attire and sorcerer's attire. Are most ppl calling them af1, af2?

    What is the progression?

    Wizard's -> Darklight -> Sorcerer's -> Allegan?

    Levels of endgame gear

    Yeah generally people call it AF1 and AF2 or AFv2. As far as progression of gear it's sorta what you have above but more like:

    AF > Darklight/AK gear/ilvl70 crafted accessories > AF2/Allagan

    Certain pieces of DL are worse than AK gear. All the DL accessories are outclasses by melded ilvl70 accessories. A mix of AF2 and Allagan is ideal for most jobs.

    Ok thanks. I couldn't find any sites that listed stuff like the way the old 11 wikis did. I created one on my server and I'm trying to recreate it 11 style.

    http://wiki.xivresource.com/index.php?title=Gladiator

    I was trying to set up the armor at the bottom based on the class/job. I know some of it's multijob but I wanted to get the basics for what ppl use.

    Also, more detailed would be:

    AF1 < WP < AK < Crafted ilvl 55 < DL < Crafted ilvl 70 < Allagan/AF2

    Should go without saying that crafted gear should have proper melds (doesn't have to be crazy quad/quint melds, just useful and appropriate).
