Oseem Augments Question

I want to start augmenting Reisenjima gear now that they gave us the daily dark matter augments, but before I start, I wanted to know which gear I should use for which job, and which augments I should aim for? Like I hear I should aim for Phalanx +, but which jobs need it other than PLD, RUN, and RDM? And which gear sets do I get it on?

Chironic or Merlinic for RDM?
Valerean or Odyssean for PLD?
Does it even matter since I can unequip it after I receive phalanx (... I think)?

Which jobs should I get WSD gear for and on which pieces?

I have TH gear maxed out already, so I don't need suggestions for that.

Am I missing other augments I should be aiming for? I am a multiboxer with 6 characters and basically play all jobs except DRK and DRG atm.

I'd appreciate any (helpful) responses.

Thanks in advance.

Valorous has more jobs on it, so you should go for head and body atm. PLD has Souveran hands/feet and Sakpata legs if you don't want to attempt those slots yet.
RUN has Herculean, which has a bunch of jobs on it, but the Relic head gives +7, so you can worry about that slot much later.
My RDM uses Chironic because I'm mostly on whm, rdm, and sch instead of blm and geo - this will ultimately be what you play more often on though.

All jobs are great to have Phalanx+ for, for whenever you have a RDM or SCH in the pt phalanxing you.

WSD is lost on those pieces nowadays because of Nyame and how good they are. Guaranteed WSD vs possible <5%

Herc feet with Triple/Quad Atk and Acc are still sought after, only for like PUP though.

Side node: I have Odyssean feet with TH+2, so each time I cast Soporific, I have SIRD and TH everything.

Pld and Run are on different jobs, so need two sets.

Pld usually Odyssean, Run is on Herculean. Rdm idk, chironic?

Which sets you augment depends on what jobs you play, for instance if you want phalanx augment for PLD you'd typically go for odyssean as I think it has a bit more defensive focus and iirc feet have SRID by default but odyssean armor set only has WAR/PLD/DRK on it while valorous has WAR/PLD/DRK/BST/SAM/DRG. As you see you could make a argument to go for valorous if you play those extra jobs and want to make use of +phalanx on those, since you multibox anyway you might have a RDM main already that could phalanx one of your alts...

If you have access to high augmented Nyame there are probably not many WSD augs worth keeping and if you're lucky and get one with high stat mod, WSD and acc/att or matt/macc you could still make a case against it cause nyame has much higher defense stats. For all jobs on the herculean set I'd say hands and feet are best to target WSD since they natively already have triple attack.

I think you could look out for refresh augments if you want to and maybe a selected few jobs like PLD can make use of shield block rate but other than that dark matter augments became uninteresting.

Today, I think the biggest priority for Oseem augments is Phalanx and Refresh +2. I've listed out my priorities when these were only obtainable through dark matter companies. Since they're available as 6 augments per day, you may still want to be decisive about which armor/augments you hope to acquire.


Phalanx+ (Excluded slots come from JSE/crafted items)
PLD: Odyssean, Phalanx head/body
RUN: Herculean body/hands/legs/feet
RDM/WHM/SCH: Chironic head/body/hands/legs/feet (You could do Merlinic instead for RDM/SCH/GEO and other jobs that would /RDM).

Refresh +2 Sets: (Body omitted due to so many Refresh+ bodies in existence)
Herculean: Head/Hands/Legs/Feet (RUN+BLU really benefit from this).
Odyssean (or Valorous for more jobs): Head/Hands/Legs/Feet. (Fun for DRK+PLD)
Merlinic: Head/Hands/Legs/Feet (This is really best utilized by GEO, since BLM/SMN get Myrkr and other MP recovery options, but its your $12.95)
Chironic: Head/Hands/Legs/Feet (This makes WHM and SCH healing much easier. RDM only needs hands/legs/feet).
Merlinic: Mostly for RDM/SMN/BLM/GEO. (RDM only needs hands/legs/feet).

I think that's really it as far as "mandatory". Now for WSD:



If a cell is white and has no numbers, then the only way to get WSD+ in that slot is through Oseem's Dark Matter augments. Otherwise that cell has a color/pattern/number and WSD+ is obtainable in that slot through Ambuscade or Reforged (Artifact, Relic, Empyrean) Armor.

For example, BRD head/hands/legs/feet are blank, so those sets would need WSD+ from Oseem (if you're not farming Nyame yet). BRD Body is Pink and gets a Relic+3 WSD piece.

For example, Summoner/PLD/WHM get zero WSD pieces.

In the case of Samurai, it gets WSD+ in the body (Relic+3 and empy+3 body). At the same time, Samurai also gets WSD+ in Artifact and Ambuscade Legs!. (Thanks for the shaft, SE!)

Another example that is much more spread out is Warrior. Warrior only needs WSD+ from Oseem augments on Legs (so you can choose Valorous or Odyssean depending on which stat or WS you want to optimize for. To complete the description, WAR gets WSD in the head (Relic+3), body (Relic+3), hands (Empy+3) and feet (Sulevia Feet).

Theoretically, you can get some strong WSD+ pieces from Oseem that might beat out the Ambuscade pieces. (This is why I choose a non-solid color for Ambu pieces and a solid color for Reforged pieces).

Nyame, another point: You may have an easier time, just getting Nyame by clearing Odyssey v0 to acquire Nyame gear. Now, to unlocks the maximum augment of Rank 15, you must kill one Odyssey T3 NM at V1 or higher). This requires segments and Sheol C farming (which is tough to multi-box by itself without lots of preparation).

Hope this helps!

While the cells don't change, you need to update this for af/relic +4, as they all got a bump to the amount of WSD.

Chironic body can get +2 refresh on BRD and has better defensive stats than Vanya or NQ Kaykaus if you don't have 30M for a +1 body. It's not worth bothering until you have all 4 other pieces with +2 refresh though.

Colada with Refresh+2 can be good pre-Sakpata for BLU and RDM idle too, even if you have it technically.

True. I was going to wait for SE to fix all of their typos first before I do that. (But who knows? Maybe SE will update them with +5?)

thank you for all the info everyone very much appreciated

So +5 is max for WSD? What is max for Phalanx? I'm using the dark matter augments, not the stone augments. Asking because I was told WSD max was +10 so I've been trying for higher than 5 since I already have 5 on my herc feet. So far the highest Phalanx I have is +2.

Dm wsd cap is 10, phalanx is 5

I saw perp cost -5 today, not sure if I saw that before.

this morning i got this... yeah be jealous

No need to use dark matter augments for Colada, though. Can use common stones for that.

Felgar's list is very helpful. I have been debating swapping out a piece or two of my Nyame for a different augment path, but I haven't been fortunate enough to get WSD on the pieces I want to replace Nyame.

Yeah, I thought that might be the case - you can get it with fern? Gada only gets +1 or +2 with fern?

Keep in mind Nyame is also BiS for meva and DT. In some fights getting caught in dark matter augment WSD gear will get you one-shotted.

Gotta have a Sets.WS.DT set toggle these days for V25 and Sortie basement bosses. Everything else is meaningless content.

Honestly, just WS in DT sets all the time now. Either you're doing acceptable damage anyway because the content's been power crept or you actually need the DT.

Also true, you should just generally because everything is trash below that content and doing 2% more damage with +4 12% WSD gear and WSD/PDL rings is irrelevant to winning.

But THE BIG NUMBERS!!!

My toggle default is WS.DT, have to intentionally change to WS.MAX or WS.ACC

Absolutely. Though, I don't think swapping Nyame Legs or something for Merlinic Shalwar with WSD would drop your defense and magic evasion enough to get "one shotted". Both items are ilvl and though the Oseem gear has far less defensive traits, I don't believe swapping one or two pieces out for augmented WSD would get you particularly killed. Now I wouldn't do 5/5 Oseem gear, just talking about if I decided to change from Nyame legs B to something else for example, take a small hit to WSD and defense in one slot for a few jobs, but an improvement for others. But I also want to wait and see if SE puts out any other gear, so I don't have to resort back to Oseem DM augments for 8-10% WSD stuff, that got old a while ago.

I don't want to get into that conversation again, I think you know my opinion by now ;)

Definitely, much appreciated Felgarr!

thanks for all the info everyone!

I guess we'll never know what it is...

To answer my own question, I think Gada only gets +2 with DM. Combined with the new shield it could give +3 in main/sub where the only other way is Mpaca staff (or Contemplator+1 but that's harder to get) and the dyna grip which is only under 75% MP.

Not quite true, depending on the job...GEO can use Bhima for 3 in the MH, 1 in OH with the shield for 4 MP/tic in main/sub.

I've never tried it, but you can't roll phalanx+ on weapons with DM, can you?

Not that ive seen reported at least

You can, I have a phalanx+5 great sword and a +3 colada sword that I'm working towards +5, as well as a random +5 gada club.
