What is the best-in-slot gear for Sage?

The highest item level set this tool can build for Sage averages item level 790 across 11 slots. These rankings are derived from item level and stat weights, not combat simulation — for sim-verified BiS, see The Balance.

How much does a Sage BiS set cost?

None of the pieces in this set are currently tradable on the market board — they must be earned in game.

Are these BiS sets simulated?

No. They are built from item level and role-based stat weights. Speed tiers, party composition and encounter length are not modelled, so for a specific savage or ultimate fight a simmed set from The Balance may differ.

Sage best in slot — patch 7.55x2

healer · average item level 790

Every piece in the current Sage set is untradable, so it cannot be bought on the market board — it must be earned through raids, tomestones or crafting.

Every socket is costed with the same materia, which is the simple reading. Substats are capped per piece and overmeld success rates fall off, so a serious melding plan splits stats across sockets — treat this as the ceiling on cost, not as optimal play.

Methodology

Sets are built by taking the highest item level gear each job can equip in each slot, then breaking ties with role-based substat weights (Critical Hit weighted highest, speed lowest). This is a heuristic, not a combat simulation: it does not model speed tiers, party composition, encounter length or rotation drift, and for a specific savage or ultimate fight it will sometimes disagree with a simmed set. For sim-verified BiS, use The Balance. What this page adds is the current gil cost of the set on each datacenter, which no BiS list shows.

Stat weights used: Critical Hit 1, Determination 0.85, Direct Hit Rate 0.75, Spell Speed 0.6, Piety 0.4.
