Viper Gearsets

This section covers the gear you will want to wear for your Viper in Dawntrail. The sets beloware to be used as a baseline starting from the levels shown (80 or 90) in order to pre-prepare forleveling the classes. Realistically, any items from the same level within 10-20 item levels of thegear shown would be equally effective, but shown here is the best options to start with, if you havethe gear! For any of these sets, obviously replace the Ninja weapons with comparable Viper weapons,once they are available. Try and keep tokens available to purchase weapons for the proper levelimmediately on launch!

Keep in mind - this gear has a high turnover, since it is only going to last less than halfway intoyour 10 levels of use. As such, you may not have enough Materia to meld it all on your way up. Thisis both totally normal, and expected. Don't feel pressured to meld your leveling gear!

Best in Slot by Category

LevelingLevel 100

Level 80Level 90

At level 80, the best gear available is either Edenmorn from the Eden's Promise raid series orthe associated tomestone gear of the same item level - the Cryptlurker's gear. The former requires doingthe Savage difficulty of the raids (which can be done unsync'd!) and the latter requires Allagan Tomestonesof Poetics. One quick way to obtain the set of tomestone gear (if you have the money to spare) is to purchasea level 80 boost for the Ninja job.

2.1.

Level 80 Viper Leveling Set

At level 90, the best gear available is item level 660, from the Endwalker raids Anabaseios or theaugmented tomestone gear - the Credendum gear. If you lack the tomestones to fully fill your characterwith the 660 options, you could just buy the un-augmented 650 Credendum gear or collect gear from eitherThaleia (item level 650) or from the normal difficulty of the Anabaseios raids (item level 640). All ofthis gear will be replaced with gear from dungeons as early as level 93 or 95, so it is not necessaryto get full 660 gear!

2.2.

Level 90 Viper Leveling Set

This gear is just what is currently available now, at the start of the Dawntrail expansion.Keep in mind that, while Materia XII is optimal, you can use Materia X instead, if it is prohibitivelyexpensive, due to how quickly this gear will become outmoded and how much of your XII materia will belost when you inevitably need to pop them out.
