Final Fantasy XIV – Battle Retainer Gear Guide – Patch 6.05 Update



For my Battle ALT I did Item Level 545 Crafted Weapon and the rest Item Level 580 Crafted Gear and it went to 574 which is great saving some mats not having to do 580 weapon.

  2. Oh I thought it was always 15. I play reaper now but my retainer (and my main) was a blm so I gave all of the gear my current blm had to my retainer which was moonward gear + ex trial 2 weapon + ex trial 1 accessories. Put me right at 573, didn't even think about it.

  3. You can put AF Gear on your retainers. I have 4 NIN retainers all in the 89 AF gear. Your character just can not carry two copies of AF gear at the same time. So take your AF gear, equip it on retainer, go back to vendor in Sharlayan to get the AF gear again (for free), and repeat until you have all your retainers geared out in AF left side. Use crafted in right side. You wont hit 573 with full left side AF but its a very cheap option.

  4. I know HQ doesnt matter for battle retainers, but 1 thing to consider is that the gear doesn't bind to you when you equip your retainers. So making HQ you can resell on the MB for better profit especially as you upgrade them (or give them a different piece of the same ilevel like the raid gear or w/e). just a thought
