THF Weaponskill Heading
NQ Gear Sets
You'll be spending lots of time in Ambuscade, Geas Fete, and finishing up the last story content, and if you haven't already you'll have lots of Domain Invasion to do. Also expect to spend quite a bit of gil!

These sets target Apex Bats (ilvl 135, 1224 evasion), with /WAR, Grape Daifuku, capped magic haste, and Madrigal II. Self-skillchaining should be reliable (a skillchain requires 10s or less between WS's).

Stats
TP set gives 422 DPS with 1281 accuracy, 7.7 secs to WS.
Hybrid set gives 39% PDT and 15% MDT, and 394 DPS with 1265 accuracy, 8.2 secs to WS.
DT set gives 50% PDT and 22% MDT, and 361 DPS with 1272 accuracy, 9.0 secs to WS.
This is a substantial DPS loss, because it's not including WS damage. You're both 17% slower to WS and can no longer reliably self-SC. But you're so much tankier!

Evisceration averages 9930 damage.
SA+Rudra's averages 14245 damage.
Aeolian Edge does 3688 damage.

Stats vs Soundsplitter Bats to compare to BBQ/0Q:
TP set gets 663 DPS, 7.7 secs to WS.
Evisceration averages 11792 damage.
SA+Rudra's averages 17350 damage.
Aeolian Edge does 3785 damage.
Source Items
Domain Invasion shijo (D), Odr earring, adhemar bonnet (B), adhemar wristbands (B), adhemar gamashes (B), lustratio subligar (B), lustratio leggings (D)
Ambuscade kaja knife, Meghanada Armor +2, Mummu Armor +2, Toutatis's cape (see below)
High Tier Battlefields levante dagger, cessance earring
AH / Crafted Aurgelmir orb, Yetshila +1, staunch tathlum, Ramuh ring
Abyssea Twilight torque, Epona's ring, fotia belt (plus Synergy)
Geas Fete rawhide vest, pursuer's cuffs, petrov ring, grunfeld rope, eschan stone
Quests / Missions perfect lucky egg, erudition necklace, patentia sash, republican platinum medal, Sibyl scarf, moonshade earring, Karieyh ring +1
Sparks / Bayld Shneddick tights +1, acumen ring
Limbus 119 alabaster earring, murky ring (both unaugmented)
Dynamis - Divergence Plunderer's Attire Set +2
Potpourri highwing helm, fotia gorget, friomisi earring, Iskur gorget, chaac belt, seething bomblet +1, skulker's poulaines +1

  • shijo is path D.

  • Adhemar pieces are path B. lustratio subligar is path B. lustratio leggings are path D.

  • Toutatis's cape always has DEX+30, Acc/Atk+20, PDT -10%, but for each set the bottle of Abdhaljs sap augment is different: +10 Store TP for TP set, +10% Crit Rate for Evisceration, and +10% Weaponskill Damage for Stacked Rudra's and Aeolian Edge.

  • moonshade earring has TP Bonus +250 augment. The other augment is your choice, but I recommend MAB +4 for Aeolian Edge.

  • rawhide vest is path A for DEX/INT for Aeolian Edge. pursuer's cuffs is path B.

  • If you really enjoy cleaving, instead of a DEX/Acc/Atk/WSD Toutatis's cape you can get a INT/Macc/MDmg/WSD cape for Aeolian Edge.

  • Once again, Aeolian Edge sets are nearly disjoint from other sets. Plan accordingly.

  • Consider DT swaps for your weaponskills when doing fights with heavy AoE damage. You can get hit while weaponskilling!


HQ Gear Sets
Almost all the content in the game is now at your disposal! Lots of new gear from Reisenjima, Sortie, high-tier HTBFs, Limbus, and a key dagger from Odyssey. Missing content is the Sortie basement, Odyssey augments, and the mysterious bottomless coinpurse.

Base sets target Apex Bats (ilvl 135, 1224 evasion), with /WAR, 550 JP, Grape Daifuku, capped magic haste, and Madrigal II. Note a good BRD and COR in your party can greatly exceed these buffs, so these should be considered low-buff / attack-starved sets.

High-accuracy sets target Apex Idle Drifter (ilvl 142, 1502 evasion), same buffs.

Stats
TP set gives 1114 DPS with 1458 (main) / 1462 (off) accuracy, 7.1 secs to WS.
Hybrid set gives 36% PDT and 26% MDT, and 857 DPS with ~1563 accuracy, 7.1 secs to WS.
DT set gives 51% PDT and 35% MDT, and 719 DPS with ~1498 accuracy, 7.1 secs to WS.

Evisceration averages 12692 damage.
SA+Rudra's averages 19004 damage.
Aeolian Edge does 6708 damage.

High-acc sets
TP high-acc set gives 819 DPS with ~1555 accuracy, 7.0 secs to WS.
Evisceration averages 11014 damage.
SA+Rudra's averages 17880 damage.

Stats vs Soundsplitter Bats to compare to BBQ/0Q:
TP set gets 1500 DPS, 7.1 secs to WS.
Evisceration averages 15453 damage.
SA+Rudra's averages 23143 damage.
Aeolian Edge does 6851 damage.
Source Items

Omen Pillager's Attire Set +3, Sherida earring, Dingir ring, Ilabrat ring, regal ring
Sortie skulker's earring, skulker's vest +2, skulker's poulaines +2
Dynamis - Divergence Plunderer's Attire Set +3
Limbus 119 Pillager's and Plunderer's Attire Set +4, murky ring and alabaster earring R30
Domain Invasion Odr earring, adhemar bonnet +1 (B), adhemar wristbands +1 (B), adhemar gamashes +1 (B), lustratio subligar +1 (B), full Herculean set with INT/MAB/WSD augments.
Ambuscade Tauret, Meghanada Armor +2, Mummu Armor +2, Toutatis's cape (see below)
High Tier Battlefields Malignance Attire, Gere ring
AH / Crafted Aurgelmir orb, Yetshila +1, assassin's gorget +1
Geas Fete baetyl pendant, grunfeld rope, eschan stone, hetairoi ring, reiki yotai
Quests / Missions perfect lucky egg, moonshade earring, Karieyh ring +1
Potpourri malevolence, seething bomblet +1, fotia gorget, fotia belt, friomisi earring, chaac belt

  • Adhemar pieces are path B. lustratio subligar +1 is path B. Gleti's knife is unaugmented. assassin's gorget +1 is fully augmented. Herculean gear is INT/MAB/WSD for Aeolian Edge.

  • moonshade earring has TP Bonus +250 augment. The other augment is your choice, but I recommend MAB +4 for Aeolian Edge.

  • Toutatis's cape generally has DEX+30, Acc/Atk+20, PDT -10%, but for each set the last augment is different: +10 Store TP for all TP sets, +10% Crit Rate for Evisceration, and +10% Weaponskill Damage for Rudra's. Aeolian Edge cape is INT+30, Macc/Mdmg+20, WSD+10%, PDT-10%.

  • Both TP sets are highly sensitive to dDEX. If you need more DEX, consider alabaster earring (or Odr earring if your Alabaster isn't R30) over skulker's earring and Ilabrat ring over hetairoi ring. Or just get some master levels.

  • The Evisceration set is also impacted by dDEX for crit rate, on easier targets pillager's culottes +4 will be better.

  • Until your murky ring is fully augmented, Mummu ring is better for Evisceration.

  • Shark Bite, Exenterator, and Mandalic Stab all work best for skillchaining Exenterator, which you only bother with when you have Aeneas. Or for skillchaining Mandalic Stab if you have Vajra. So we're not covering them here.

  • Dancing Edge skillchains generally aren't as strong as spamming Evisceration or skillchaining Evisceration with Rudra's.

  • Have DT swaps for your weaponskills! (I'd probably go with malignance gloves and an augmented murky ring)

  • If you're interested in further pushing the DT set for more evasion, magic evasion, or MDT, consider malignance boots, skulker's poulaines +2, yamarang, and/or a Magic Evasion Toutatis's cape.

  • plunderer's vest +4 will be better than Pillager's for TP with at least 3 merits in Ambush. Remember that's only true if you're behind your target!

What about REMA weapons? Late endgame best-in-slot gear? Check out the sets in the BG Wiki Guides!

story rewards quick thoughts: rajas ring, suppanomimi, moonshade earring with 250 TP Bonus and +4 MAB, Karieyh ring +1.
TVR ring is either Cornelia's ring, Lehko Habhoka's ring, or Ephramad's ring, any of those three will do you well.
