Every Gear Set In FFXIV: Endwalker's Pandaemonium Raid
Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker added its first raid dungeon Pandaemonium: Asphodelos and its Limbo armor sets with Patch 6.01. The sets feature muted colors, flowy fabric, and will soon have ivory weapons to match. The simplistic style blends the aesthetic of Ancient cloaks and Lopporit robes, and Warriors of Light will look right at home standing next to the supporting cast of Pandaemonium's storyline.
[Warning: spoilers for FFXIV: Endwalker below.]
Treasure coffers that appear upon defeating Pandaemonium bosses drop tokens that can be exchanged for gear of the player's choosing. There are four circles of Pandaemonium: Asphodelos and players can obtain one token per circle each week. Upon completing Asphodelos: The Fourth Circle, players can also earn a weekly Unsung Blade of Asphodelos. FFXIV players obtain Pandemonium raid gear by exchanging tokens with Mylenie in Labyrinthos or Djole in Radz-at-Han.
The Blades can't be exchanged yet but will be after the introduction of Allagan Tomestones of Astronomy, which are scheduled to be released two weeks after Patch 6.01. Until then, players can collect Limbo armor from head to toe for all classes. Rather than giving each FFXIV job class armor unique to them, the sets are broken down into roles Fending, Maiming, Striking, Scouting, Aiming, Casting, and Healing. Limbo armor of Fending is for Paladin, Warrior, Dark Knight, and Gunbreaker. This is the only set of the 7 that doesn't share its style with another class.
Pandaemonium's Limbo armor of Striking for Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker's Monk and Samurai is a darker recolor of the Maiming set worn by Dragoon and Reaper. Healing and Casting share the same style of robes, with White Mage, Astrologian, Sage, and Scholar in a priestly white-grey. Casters Summoner, Black Mage, and Red Mage have them in black, giving more of a wizardly vibe. Ninja's Scouting armor shares its style with Aiming. Bard, Machinist, and Dancer wear the darker Aiming set, equipped with a black sash.
Recolors aren't uncommon in FFXIV, and are especially reasonable considering that Endwalker brought the game's job total up to 19, or 20 including Blue Mage. Condensing armor sets this way may even allow the developer to spread out its resources to other areas. Although it may have been not the main intention, similar and shared armor also feels appropriate for Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker's Elpis location.
The Pandaemonium facility is located below Elpis, a place from the World Unsundered. In this time and place, people found it inappropriate to dress differently from one another. Pretty much everyone wore black hooded robes, sometimes white, and the same decorative masks, so the simplicity of the armor found there feels pretty accurate to the lore.
Pandaemonium: Asphodelos has players collecting Unsung relics of various armor types from the world's past, and then bringing these relics to the present. Perhaps the relics are reconstructed with a modern spin, giving players the part-Ancient, part-Lopporit style of the Limbo equipment sets. Although, since this token exchange mechanic and shared role gear is nothing new, it's probably a coincidence.
FFXIV: Endwalker's Pandaemonium gear is obtained by trading tokens dropped by bosses. For one piece of Limbo body armor, players must trade four Unsung Armor of Asphodelos, and for leg armor they need four Unsung Chausses of Asphodelos. Compared to other armor slots, body and leg armor tend to give characters the largest stat increases when upgraded. 2 Unsung Helm of Asphodelos can be exchanged for a headpiece, two Unsung Gauntlets of Asphodelos can be exchanged for hand gear, and two Unsung Greaves of Asphodelos can be exchanged for foot gear. Accessories provide the smallest stat increase, so those can be obtained with a single Unsung Ring of Asphodelos.
Regardless of the Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker job the player is when they obtain Pandaemonium: Asphodelos tokens, they can exchange tokens for any job's gear. Perhaps they attend boss fights as a Black Mage in Casting armor; they can still take their tokens to acquire Limbo armor of Fending, Maiming, Striking, Scouting, Aiming, or Healing instead. If players feel like gearing up a different class but don't want to dive into Pandaemonium with them, this remains a convenient option. What's less convenient is the weekly limit on tokens; only one can be obtained from each of the four circles of Pandemonium before the Tuesday reset.
It currently takes several weeks to obtain enough tokens for a full set of Limbo armor. Each circle of Pandaemonium has treasure coffers that drop specific tokens as well, so if a player needs a token for a specific slot they may need to challenge bosses multiple times. FFXIV's Asphodelos: The First Circle can drop two Unsung Helm of Asphodelos, two Unsung Rings, and one of each of Gauntlets, Armor, Chausses, and Greaves. These tokens are distributed among the eight members of the raid party with the usual Greed/Need roll system.
The Second Circle of Asphodelos can drop two Unsung Rings, and one of each of Helm, Gauntlets, Armor, Chausses, and Greaves. The Third Circle can drop two Unsung Armor, two Chausses, two Rings, and one of both Helm and Gauntlet. Tokens for Greaves can't be obtained at the Third circle, so if players must repeat fights they should keep each one's treasure coffer in mind. The Fourth Circle can drop two Unsung Armor, two Chausses, two Rings, and one of both Gauntlet and Greaves. In the case of the Fourth Circle, there is no chance for an Unsung Helm to drop.
Pandaemonium: Asphodelos challenges FFXIV players and has seven sets of Limbo armor as rewards, each one complete with Head, Body, Hands, Legs, Feet, Ring, Bracelets, Necklace, and Earring equipment. Barring the fact that Limbo Ring is Unique, meaning that players can only wear one at a time, they can fully dress their character in Ancient-style armor in roughly five weeks. By the time they're fully equipped, Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker's Warriors of Light will look perfect next to Erichthonios and Themis as they enter the next wing of Pandaemonium, Abyssos in 2022.
