Phantom Armor

See also: Level 100 Gear Guide and Phantom Weapons

Phantom Armor sets are level 100 upgradeable armor sets that were introduced with patch 7.25 in Dawntrail and provide stat bonuses within the Occult Crescent field operations series. To upgrade these sets, players must obtain specific items from Occult Crescent activities. These requisite items cannot be traded with other players.

There are two series of armor, each associated with a zone in the Occult Crescent:

---

South Horn:	Arcanaut's Armor	→	Arcanaut's Armor +1	→	Arcanaut's Armor +2
			↓		↓
North Horn:	Phantom Vision Armor	→	Phantom Vision Armor +1	→	Phantom Vision Armor +2	→	Phantom Vision Armor +3 (best-in-slot)

---

Arcanaut's Armor is IL 745, while Phantom Vision Armor is IL 780. Upgrading the armor (within each series) does not change them visually or increase item level. The only bonuses that are provided from upgrades are additional primary attributes (strength, dexterity, intelligence, mind) based on the player's regular job and Special Attribute, which increases damage done by phantom job actions. These bonuses are only active within Occult Crescent areas.

As the item levels of this armor is higher than the IL 700 sync within Occult Crescent, materia melds will be ignored in these zones.

With the release of patch 7.55 and The Occult Crescent: North Horn, players can skip upgrading Arcanaut's Armor entirely and can focus on upgrading Phantom Vision Armor to the best-in-slot +3 sets. Players can exchange any Arcanaut's Armor +1 and +2 pieces for the corresponding Phantom Vision +1 or +2 pieces without needing additional materials.

Arcanaut's Armor +1

This armor can be purchased from the Expedition Armorer in The Occult Crescent: South Horn (X:37.6, Y:7.1). Each +1 armor piece costs the corresponding base armor piece, 3 Aetherspun Silver, and 3 Aetherial Fixative.

Arcanaut's Armor +2

The final upgrade to the Arcanaut's Armor and by far the most difficult to obtain. This armor can be purchased from the Expedition Armorer in The Occult Crescent: South Horn (X:37.6, Y:7.1). Each +2 armor piece costs the corresponding +1 armor piece, 3 Aetherspun Gold, and 6 X-Fixative.

Aetherspun Gold can only be obtained as rare drops from random bronze or silver treasure coffers within The Occult Crescent: South Horn.

X-Fixative can be purchased from the Expedition Antiquarian for 10 Sanguinite each. These items are primarily obtained from the high-end raid The Forked Tower: Blood. Players will receive a total of 30 Sanguinite per clear run with all personal spoils coffers opened (see the duty page for more details on loot distribution). Alternatively, they will receive 2 Sanguinite as drops from the Sanguine Recluse special enemy in the South Horn overworld, which only spawns when a group of players completes the secret puzzle within the Forked Tower in the current instance.

In theory, it is possible to obtain this armor without entering Forked Tower, but it will take a very long time to obtain the requisite items from the special enemy only.
