NIN BiS Discussion
The BiS is quite intuitive this time around and it basically builds itself. Nearly every piece with crit is used with the exception of Midan Body.
Midan Body isn’t too big of a loss since we actually need the accuracy from its counterpart. Midan Body also has SS so the 88 Crit (while sorely missed) is something we just cannot afford to dip our greedy hands into.
Even with the Mudra Changes, SS is still pretty bad. It’s main function is a garbage stat that you’re forced upon cause you have no choice in gear selection.
The Augmented Torrent Kris is an amazing “filler”. Not all classes can say their lore weapon stands up as a near equal to the Midan Counterpart but Ninjas have that luxury. Besides, not everyone will be able to clear A8S asap.
There’s not much else to say here. Un-upgraded Ring may provide less than 0.3% DPS increase but is overall a bit of a hassle, and has problems scaling into greater content (so adjusting your gear to this may not be the best idea IE more ACC Melds)
NIN Lore Tomestone Buy Order
The below spending strategy is purely to obtain BiS fastest:
- Weapon: Amazing stats, worth every tome as a “filler”.
- Body: Since Midan is A8
- Legs: Since Midan is A7
- Helm: Rounds out left-side BiS
- Wrist > Ring > Earring by order of value stats.
ANYTHING ELSE IS OPTIONAL: left-side fillers first Gloves > Boots, then accessories Neck > Ring(Unupgraded).

NIN Crafted Gear Viability
I’ll update this later on so I can finish all the other BiS lists. Pretty much 90% of what ‘yer lookin’ for is here already anyways.

Doton’t let RNG and Robots put you down! You’ll get your Ninja 3.2 BiS soon! Good luck with it, and thanks for checking out our NIN BiS Guide!
Why would i use Crit IV materia on this gear when i can use Crit V again?
Nevermind. I see now. Also the headpiece caps with Crit V and Crit IV. So the Crit V is unnecaessary
>>>> ALL COMMENTS ARE PRE 3.2!!! <<<<
Just a heads up, the Subtitle says esoterics when you mean lore (might be the old 3.0 subtitle left over for the page)
Thanks! Fixed!
flawed BiS. ACC cap is 705 for a8s.
Your listed stats are unachievable:
http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/TV9H >>> link to your BiS.
Following the ariyala’s toolkit, your “BiS” comes out subpar. i came up with 2 better sets myself, easily.
http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/U67A – same items, different melds.
even better:
http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/U2FF
please update
The third link has an absurd amount of SS. The second list is OK. Keep in mind I made this when A8 Acc cap wasnt finalized. It’s a difference of a few melds from that you posted.
Already commented saying this…in the purchase order for ESOTERICS you are stating that the chest piece is BiS and gives crit, again, it does not, that is the GORDIAN chest piece, not ESOTERIC. Very misleading stating it as BIS when it’s covered in Skillspeed.
I meant to say the HELMET! /fixed!
You’ve put in the Eso purchase order for NIN “Body: fixes accuracy, bis, gives crit… value of heavens.” The body piece with eso’s doesn’t have crit, that’s the Gordian you are quoting :)
I meant to say the HELMET! /fixed!
why would you swap out ironworks for dreadwyrm pants, instead of swapping out dreadwyrm wrists for ironworks? calcutated both and swapping out the wrists for augmented puts you at acc cap while having higher crit/det and less skill speed…..
Is the crafted 110 ring worth it for ninja?
110 Rings are generally worth it if you need the VIT. In the case of ninja (or bard) I would go out on a limb and say YES, thought the melds would cost you an arm and a leg…
Melds (not really in order)
VIT IV, CRIT IV (worth the pain)
MORE VIT if you have an iffy scholar for t13
ACC III’s to top it off for usability.
So would i replace with iroworks or dreadwyrm ring
Will you be adding this to the jobs drop down list anytime soon? Really surprised as to why it is not there already.
Is there a reason why the ninja BiS guide isn’t in the jobs tab?
It is because they do not know how to update their website.
If you can’t see it, it states that the menu is under repair.
Also, “they” is a false statement. 99.9% of updates/words seen here are typed up by ONE guy.
Thanks for this. So is http://64.227.107.16/ffxiv-monk-mnk-best-slot-end-game-gear-guide/2/ the optimal gear for a ninja and is still gearing up pre 2.4?
Its almost the same except you might want to get the least amount of SS possible. Here’s the changes from the mnk 2.2 bis:
Weapon (of course)
HA Ring
Auroral Wrist/Ears/Choker/Ring
Maybe I should make a table thats seen here, ey? Thanks for the comment!!
If you could do that, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
