FF14 Best Crafting Gear
Updated:

If you’ve been leveling up your crafting classes in Final Fantasy 14, you’ve likely been on the lookout for higher item level crafting gear to craft higher quality materials more easily. With the 5.4 patch, we have the newest and highest set of crafting gear alongside two other excellent and extremely high item level sets. Unlike gear sets for combat classes, there are fewer options, but they all have excellent stats and one can even be bought from the Marketboard. Without further ado, here’s the top three best crafting gear sets to keep your eyes on.

3) Professional’s Crafting Set
