__TOC__
==Summary==
===Combat===
*Because level 100 gear is released over the course of several major patches, players do not necessarily need to slowly increment the item level of their gear if they have recently reached level 100, and can instead jump directly to the highest item level gear that is most accessible.
*'''[IL 690]''' Players who recently reached level 99 - 100 should collect [[Artifact Weapons (Dawntrail)|Artifact Weapons]] and [[Artifact Armor (Dawntrail)|Artifact Armor]] for free. [[Epochal Accessories]] drop from three dungeons: {{questlink|dungeon|Alexandria}}, {{questlink|dungeon|Tender Valley}}, and {{questlink|dungeon|The Strayborough Deadwalk}}, but these do not need to be "farmed" to proceed with further upgrades.
*'''[IL 700]''' Current uncapped {{rarity|tomestone|tomestone}} gear ({{tomestone|Aesthetics}} [[Allagan Tomestone of Aesthetics]]): [[Neo Kingdom Weapons]], [[Neo Kingdom Armor]], and [[Neo Kingdom Accessories]]
*'''[IL 710]''' Current extreme trial weapons ({{questlink|trial|Worqor Lar Dor (Extreme)}}): [[Skyruin Weapons]]
*'''[IL 710]''' Current extreme trial accessories ({{questlink|trial|Everkeep (Extreme)}}): [[Resilient Accessories]]
*'''[IL 710]''' Current weekly-capped normal raid gear ({{questlink|raid|AAC Light-heavyweight Tier}}): [[Light-heavy Armor]] and [[Light-heavy Accessories]]
*'''[IL 710]''' Current endgame crafted gear: [[Archeo Kingdom Weapons]], [[Archeo Kingdom Armor]], and [[Archeo Kingdom Accessories]]. These should always be obtained as {{HQ}} '''[[High Quality|high quality]]''', either by crafting them yourself or purchasing from the [[Market Board]]. Unlike other IL 710 gear, these can be [[pentameld]]ed with [[materia]], giving more substats, although the types of substats may not necessarily be as desirable as those from other IL 710 gear.
*'''[IL 720]''' Current weekly-capped {{rarity|tomestone|tomestone}} gear ({{tomestone|heliometry}} [[Allagan Tomestone of Heliometry]]): [[Quetzalli Weapons]], [[Quetzalli Armor]], and [[Quetzalli Accessories]]
**'''[IL 730]''' These can be upgraded to [[Augmented Quetzalli Weapons]], [[Augmented Quetzalli Armor]], and [[Augmented Quetzalli Accessories]] using items obtained from {{questlink|raid|AAC Light-heavyweight M2 (Savage)}} / {{questlink|raid|AAC Light-heavyweight M3 (Savage)}}.
*'''[IL 730/735]''' Current weekly-capped savage raid gear ({{questlink|raid|AAC Light-heavyweight Tier (Savage)}}): [[Dark Horse Champion's Weapons]], [[Dark Horse Champion's Armor]] and [[Dark Horse Champion's Accessories]]. Also rewards items to augment Quetzalli gear to item level 730.

====Best-in-slot gear====
*Current '''"best-in-slot" (BiS)''' gear comprises a mixture of IL 735 Dark Horse Champion's Weapons and IL 730 Dark Horse Champion's/Augmented Quetzalli Armor and Accessories melded with certain [[materia]]. 
**This composition varies depending on the [[job]] and is intended to maximize desirable [[substats]]. Some jobs may have multiple BiS sets with specific [[Spell Speed]] or [[Skill Speed]] tiers.
**BiS sets for each job are provided by [https://www.thebalanceffxiv.com/ The Balance].
**BiS is '''not''' necessary to obtain unless if the player is planning on doing the upcoming {{questlink|ultimateraid|Futures Rewritten (Ultimate)}}. BiS primarily allows players to more easily clear existing content.
*Higher item level gear will not be released until [[patch 7.2]].

===Crafting and Gathering===
As of patch 7.0, the crafted level 100 gear, with specific melds as recommended by ''The Balance'' for [https://guides.ffxivteamcraft.com/guide/crafting-melding-guide crafting] and [https://guides.ffxivteamcraft.com/guide/gathering-melding-guide gathering], is substantially better than the level 100 gear available for orange [[scrips]], which suffers from bad stats, being job-specific, and lacking accessories.

====Future====
The following is based on patterns of recent expansions and is subject to change:

*In [[patch 7.1]], there will be new best-in-slot crafted tools and left side armor from Master Recipes XI. However, there will not be any new accessories.
*In [[patch 7.2]], there will be new gear purchasable for Orange Scrips, but will be inferior to melded gear released in patch 7.1.
*In [[patch 7.3]], there will be new best-in-slot crafted tools, armor, and accessories from Master Recipes XII.
