Weathered job items

Greetings.

Has there been anything officially said about why they aren't adding upgraded options for the Wethered class items anymore?
It's been a long time since they had anything like that.
The Job sets are some of the better looking in the game imo. So it lays heavy on me to see that I am not able to dye them any longer.

I wish that they would give up that option again to upgrade them, even if the item itself won't be BiS it would at least give us more cosmetic choices.

Are you talking about AF4 gear sets, or previous ones?

In general all the Job sets which doesn't have an upgraded option.
I can't exactly remember when they stopped giving those out. But I think it was during Heavensward?
So after that I guess?

Stopped? All AF gear sets, of base game and all expansions, can be upgraded to their dyeable versions

- Dyeable AF1 sets are obtained in Mor Dhona (requires crafted items).
- Dyeable AF2 sets are obtained in Idyllshire (requires items from Centurio Vendor in Ishgard)
- Dyeable AF3 sets are obtained in Eureka Anemos (requires many upgrades, and a truckload of crystals from Notorious Monsters FATEs)
- Dyeable AF4 sets are obtained in Mor Dhona (requieres drop from Memoria Misera (Extreme) )

Hmm.. I will have to look into this.
Been quite some time since I really delved into FFXIV so not surprised I might've missed it.
I am just sure that I didn't see any upgradeable/dyeable AF stuff since Heavensward.

Thanks for giving me something to look into. ^^

When I've tried googling it didn't show me anything.
But I could once again be missing it. -haha-

• ARR's AF 1 was a level 45/50 quest reward that can be augmented to be dyeable (chests pieces would also glow) with a crafted token. AF 1.5 was the original capped tomestone gear (It is now available from tokens from Snowcloak, Sastasha(Hard) and Qarn (hard)).
• HW AF 2 was HW's first capped tomestone gear. They are unweathered with tokens from Alex(Savage)/Centurio Seals/Void Ark Coins.
• StB AF 3 was a level 70 quest reward that are upgraded (3 times) to be dyeable with Anemos crystals (from Eureka Anemos).

As for the current i430 Weathered AF4 gear, while Memoria does give out the dyeable i480 Idealized AF 4 with 5 slots, I suspect that the upcoming Bozjan Southern Front will have a system that will allow the Weathered i430 to be upgraded to be dyeable.

As others said, they still exist, they're just a lot harder to track down if you don't know where to look for them.

The upgrade shops in ARR and HW are fairly out in the open and obvious, but SB's is inside Eureka (so you'll never see it if you don't start that content) and ShB isn't an upgrade at all, but acquired from variable coffers that give you gear for your current job - so even if you find the shop (back in Mor Dhona with the tome gear vendors) you won't see any of the actual gear and can't try it on, or even recognise it as upgraded weathered gear.

Perhaps this is a stupid question, but did you try some more specialized searches? I threw some quirk generic terms into Google like "ffxiv dye level 80 artifact gear", then picked the option to filter it down to the past month, and it showed up with that filter. I say this because these persistent games are moving at a hundred malms a minute and new stuff is being added all the time, which not only creates a lot of search noise as a game bloats up, but also means the new stuff might be a little obstructed.

I think this would make sense - though it might be available through another route too since they said you wouldn't necessarily have to do the instance for your relics.

In any case we've still (hopefully!) got to get dyeable versions of the weapons that come with the weathered sets, since the relics "replaced" them for the dyeable gear release and they don't all match the theme.

Is there a way to dye the 1.5 stuff I’m missing? Like the Scholar’s Argute set?

I don't think so. Only the Lv45 set can be augmented.

Yeah, I think this is where I was doing wrong.
I guess I was just too focused on it being upgradeable in ways like it always used to, with tomes and such.
But it seems each generation have a different way of acquiring it.

Thanks everyone for your help.
I've been so lost for so long, not thinking they actually had dyeable versions.
I was just looking in the wrong places.

Sadly, no. The i90 AF 1.5 colorations are currently unique to the "Vintage" sets.

Nope. Prolly becuase they were already palette swaps and thus seen as redundant in terns of dyability.

I'm kind ahoping for the ability to just upgrade the Weather gear into their idealized forms becuase A: I doubt they'll be giving us another dyable AF set wave for similar reasons and B: it might allow players to catch up faster, even is it was still tied to the Save the Queen story and thus Eureka 2.0

Part of the Idealized gear's reward is actually the 5 materia slots so I doubt that anything that unweathers the i430 gear will turn it into the i480 Idealized version. I more suspect that it will end up i500 or i510 gear with 2 materia slots making it suitable for entry into 6.0.

Or basically, why I only have AF1 and AF2 dyable sets.

Wow we live in a world where AF gear would be relegated to Poetics.

Considering the pattern with Poetic sets I think the i500 gear would likely be Eulmore themed, but I wouldn't complain it did turn out to be AF gear.

EDIT: Wait I just realized we're still in 5.2, and there is a wave after i510. NVM

The i90 (AF 1.5) and i200/i210 (AF 2) sets were original tomestone gear.

The Augmented Crystarium/Edenchoir gear is i500. i510 is going to be the ilevel of the patch 5.4 normal mode raid gear. 5.4/5.5 Augemented Tomestone/Savage gear is going to be i530. i500/i510 is likely going to be 6.0's minimium effective ilevel for the first leveling dungeon.

They shouldn't be redundant though, because they changed patterns and details. I like the i90 summoner coat because the belts are a nicer colour and there's a pattern on the hem of the tunic

Agreed. The best parts about the i90 relic armors is that they have the best color schemes on the parts u cant dye/change in the augmented AF1 gear. Such as the glowing lights in DRG AF, which cant be dyed off of purple, but relic has them as blue.
(Side note, the NPCs in the game refer to the i90 gear as Relic Armor, and the i45/50 gear as Artifact Armor)
