In Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker, the Classical Gear Set is the highest level crafted, un-augmented gear set you can get prior to the 6.2 patch. With a base item level of 580 and augmentable up to 590, the Classical Gear, with its multiple materia slots, is the Best in Slot for several classes. Here’s how to craft your own Classic Gear for sale or personal use.
Crafting Classical Gear
To craft Classic Gear, it’s useful to remember the checklist of things you’ll need.
- Level 90 Armorer, Leatherworker, or Weaver with Master Recipes IX unlocked for the relevant classes
Additionally if you’re planning on crafting and gathering all the required materials yourself, you’ll also need the following. If you’re rolling in Gil, or otherwise have another means of getting the required components (trades from generous Free Company friends), you can skip part of these steps.
- Purchase/Gather Aethersand
- Level 90 Miner and Botanist with Regional Folklore tomes unlocked
- All Crafting Jobs at level 90 with Master Recipes IX unlocked

Level 90 Crafters and Master Recipes IX
Levelling crafters to 90 can seem daunting, but there’s actually multiple quick ways of gaining experience. The Studium Deliveries offer huge amounts of experience and should be completed with relevant classes as soon as possible. Levequests are also an incredible source of experience. Players gain three levequest allowances every 12 hours, and they can stack up to 100, so if you’ve not been using them, you will have a lot to use. Grand Company Deliveries can also net you huge amounts of experience. Finally, weekly Challenge Log rewards have experience components you can work toward. Ideally with these methods, you’ll be able to level to 90 on any crafter in hours.
Once a class is levelled to 90, you can purchase and use the Master Recipes IX tome for them. These are available from any of the Scrip Vendors or the Sundry Splendors Vendors located in major cities. They cost 1200 Silver Crafting Scrips. If you’ve maxed out your scrips, you’ll have 2000, meaning there’s a little bit of a grind to get all the tomes. Gathering White Crafters Scrips is a case of turning in high value collectables to one of the Collectable Appraisers. Once you’ve unlocked the tome and activated it, you’ll now have access to the Classical Gear Recipes for that class. You can now start crafting the Classical Gear (if you have the materials, that is).
