FFXIV: How to get Gomphotherium gear in Dawntrail

Final Fantasy XIV has added a lot of new gear in Dawntrail, which is understandable with its brand-new expansion and increased level cap. However, none of☂ the gear is more coveted than the level 96 Gomphotherium sets. 

These items are selling for upwards of 100k Gil each on the Marketboard, presumably being purchased by people who want to live their best Mad Max life, but they’re actually not that hard to get. There is one particular vendor who sells all of the sets for every class at a much lower price – you just need to reach them.

There are actually multiple names for the level 96 gear, depending on which Job you want the gear for, and the headpiece for a set may not share the name of the chest piece. All of the following items are level 96 gear and have the same style des🐼pite the differing names:

• Titanium Gold
• Gomphotherium
• Rroneek Surge
• White Gold

There are two options to get your hands on these items. You can either play through the MSQ and get them from Acacia Coffers, which come as a reward for multiple level 96 quests in Shaaloani, or yo🦋u can buy them.

Where to buy Gomphotherium sets in Final Fantasy XIV

If you’re looking to buy this set without overspending on the Marketb🌞oard, you’ll need to play your way through the MSQ until you reach the level 95 quest ‘The Long Road ඣto Xak Tural’. 

Once you enter Shaaloani with Erenville, you can head to the🐼 Sheshenewezi Springs Aetheryte in the western half of the map. Unlike previous areas, this entire map can be unlocked from the offset, so you have free🌟 reign to explore and reach the destination. 

Once you’ve reached this small town, head to the Independant Merchant (X:15.8, Y:19.5) and select Purchase Battlecraft Gear for whichever Job you’re looking to dress up. Larger pieces, such as chest and leg gear, will cost you 47,590 Gil each. Smaller pieces, such as head, hand, and foot gear, will cost 28,554 💞Gil each.
