Last updated on Mar 26, 2025 at 07:00 by Piyo 6 comments

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 7.2).

1.

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.

2.1.

Patch 7.2 Gearsets (AAC Cruiserweight Savage Sets)

When aiming to clear, recommended potions are Grade 3 Gemdraught of Mind Icon Grade 3 Gemdraught of Mind. Players can also opt for Super-Ether Icon Super-Ethers if they require extra help with MP management. Keep in mind that Super-Ether Icon Super-Ethers share the same consumable cooldown as Grade 3 Gemdraught of Mind Icon Grade 3 Gemdraught of Mind.

For progressing in the AAC Cruiserweight (Savage) Raids, players can consider either a recast time of 2.44s or 2.30s, as a variety of different spell speeds are compatible with White Mage. The gearsets and budget alternatives assume players have access to the following duties:

  • [High-End Trial] Recollection (Extreme)
  • [Normal/Savage Raid] AAC Cruiserweight M1-M4

Players can also view the tentative Savage Best-in-Slot gearsets below. In comparison to Progression Gear, White Mage's Best-in-Slot Gear will prefer a slower recast time. Players can pick a gearset between either 2.46s or 2.50s (slowest).

2.1.1.

Some purchases from the [Normal Raid] AAC Cruiserweight 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:

  1. Cruiser Ring of Healing Icon Cruiser Ring of Healing (via Cruiser Holobrooch x1)
  2. Cruiser Earring of Healing Icon Cruiser Earring of Healing (via Cruiser Holobrooch x1)
  3. Cruiser Halfgloves of Healing Icon Cruiser Halfgloves of Healing (via Cruiser Hologauntlets x2)
  4. Cruiser Headgear of Healing Icon Cruiser Headgear of Healing (via Cruiser Holohelm x2)

If players do not want to pentameld two Ceremonial Rings of Healing, they should prioritize picking up a Cruiser Ring for Savage Raid progression instead. Proceed to get the remaining Cruiser Equipment if you would like budget alternatives to the respective Crafted Equipment.

2.1.2.

Tomestone Gear Purchase Priority

Players should ideally pick up all of the Tome Equipment listed here for their Best-in-Slot. Try not to deviate from the recommended order, as the Historia Ring is notably one of the weakest upgrades for your Best-in-Slot.

  1. [Hands] Historia Gloves of Healing
  2. [Earrings] Historia Earrings of Healing
  3. [Wrist] Historia Wristband of Healing
  4. [Hat] Historia Cap of Healing
  5. [Legs] Historia Sarouel of Healing
  6. [Ring] Historia Ring of Healing
2.2.

Futures Rewritten Prog Sets

As of Patch 7.15, in order to clear Futures Rewritten (Ultimate), players are highly 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)

Players can also opt to use gearsets with more piety instead, which helps with MP management for prog and reclears.

2.3.

The Omega Protocol Prog Set

Ultimate prog sets forgo a bit of damage for higher Vitality, Determination, and Piety than speedkill-focused savage sets. The below sets are excellent options if you are planning on doing the latest ultimate.

2.3.1.

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, but still maintains the max vitality required for some damage checks. 2.34 GCD is chosed for alignment with various fight mechanics.

2.4.

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 (terrible) reason your group has decided against using tank invulns in phase 7 the higher piety can ease the load of the extra GCD heals you'll need. Either version of the level 90 relic can be used, though this is very likely to change once the next version of the relic becomes available in patch 6.45. The dungeon gear comes from Lapis Manalis.

2.5.

The Epic of Alexander (TEA) Best in Slot

We’ve 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 don't be afraid to grab some additional piety slots if needed since 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 / 99 Spellspeed

Spellspeed or Det 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’s up to the player to make the decision if the grind is worth it.

2.6.

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 don't be afraid to grab some additional piety slots if needed since WHM at 70 has fewer MP tools than at 80 or 90. 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 Spellspeed / 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.

2.7.

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 don't be afraid to grab some additional piety slots if needed since WHM at 70 has fewer MP tools than at 80 or 90. 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 Spellspeed / 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.
