White Mage: Guide to Weapons and Armor

__NOTOC__
===Introduction===
The purpose of this guide is to analyze gear by level for WHM to provide an idea of what are the top choices regarding gear for aspiring WHMs. Two sets of gear are provided: party and melee. Party gear focuses on gear that would help a WHM to main heal and focuses on stats like MND, MP, and Cure Potency as well as macro gear like HMP, enfeebling skill and HP. Melee gear is meant for the ballista or solo WHM and focuses on stats like haste, accuracy, attack, STR and MND. Although WHM does not blossom as a solo melee until after Hexa Strike, there may be situations you will want to melee at lower levels, such as in capped Ballista for the adventurous or to farm.
It is important to keep in mind that this guide is a guide and therefore not the end-be-all list of what a WHM can and cannot wear. Gear is situational and a WHM with multiple sets of gear will serve better than a WHM with a single set, not matter how “uber” that set may be. To help the aspiring WHM out, here is a list of recommended gear-sets for WHM.
*Party:
**General Gear - For the lazy WHM who does not want to lug around different macroed gear sets, or for the WHM who wants "universal gear" that can be used for a variety of spells, use the stats: "Refresh" > -Enmity > Haste % > MP = MND. 
**Curing Gear - This is the first gearset you will focus on in the beginning of your career, as well as the most important set. Stats that you will wish to focus on are Cure Potency +% > MND = -Enmity > MP > Healing Magic Skill. There are very few pieces of gear that directly affect cure potency +%, and these pieces will increase your cures the most dramatically. MND comes next, which augments cures to a lesser (but still noticeable) extent. At low levels MND will help keep your cures at cap. At higher levels, MND will help you break soft caps by small amounts of HP, and will noticeably increase your Cure V. -Enmity helps you get off larger cures (especially Curaga) without pulling hate. MP is the last mod. Unless you're MP handicapped like a Galka or Elvaan, the amount of MP you have isn't as important as how well you manage it. Healing Magic Skill for some reason helps your cures extremely little, which is why you should never sacrifice a good MND or -Enmity piece for it. 
***Advanced Curing Gear Suggestions- Higher level WHMs can consider other pieces of gear to add to their cures. One are the Cure Clogs which decrease cure cast time by -15% (remember to have them on BEFORE casting in your macro to make them work) and when used in conjunction with -cast time merits and haste, may be a valuable piece of gear (especially for Curaga!). Since light weather affects cures substantially, WHMs who work with scholars or in Temenos a lot may find the Korin Obi worth getting. Another piece of advanced cure gear is the Medicine Ring. This ring gives a whopping 10% bonus to cures, but only if your HP is less than 75%. In order to activate this latent, a whole extra set of gear is required. The WHM must first put on enough -HP or Convert HP to MP gear on in one macro, then use another macro to switch to curing gear and effectively take all of the -HP gear off. If enough HP is subtracted (usually 200~400 HP is needed to subtract, depending on race, so usually a full set of Zeniths or Zeniths supplemented with items like Serket Ring, Astrals, etc is needed) then you will be left with 75%~ HP and your latent activated. In order to keep your latent active and safe from Auto-Regen and cures from other well meaning party members, you will have to switch this macro on and off so simply using Poison Potions or Sublimation are not feasible latent breakers. It is important to note that keeping your HP low is dangerous in situations with bouncing hate or lots of AoEs so the ring is a situational piece of equipment. 
**Resting Gear - Probably your second gear set you buy, used as soon as you get Pilgrim's Wand. This gear you macro in while you rest to get as much MP out of as little ticks as you can. A good WHM knows to rest whenever they are not casting or running to get MP back. Obviously, the most important stat is MP Recovered While Healing. Other stats to look at are -Enmity (to help you lose accumulated hate faster) and MP. 
***Advanced Resting Gear - An advanced WHM may have a "max-MP gear" that he or she may switch on after filling up their regular MP bar (by taking off MP recovered while healing gear and putting on MP) to fill up to a large amount of MP during downtime. The extra chunk of MP can be used to fuel buffs like reraise, protectra/shellra, and hastes. After using up the extra MP, the WHM can switch to their usual -Enmity/haste/mnd gear and still be at full MP. 
**Haste Gear - This gear is not usually feasible until end-game, but Haste% gear decreases recast time and spellcast time. Macro in Haste % gear into anything you may cast on several people in row (like Haste, Regen, Erase, Raise), and anything that just plain takes a long time to cast (Reraise, Protectra, Shellra, Stoneskin, Teleports, Warp). Remember that you cap out at 25% haste from gear. After maxing out your Haste %, focus on -enmity and MP for your stats while casting these spells. If you have it, Conserve MP gear can also be used in conjunction with haste gear to also reduce MP cost of these buffs. 
**Enfeebling Magic Gear - A good WHM regularly enfeebles exp mobs when there isn't an RDM or BLM, and is also capable of landing enfeebles during solo or duo situations. Stats to focus on for debuffing are Magic Accuracy = Enfeebling Magic Skill > MND > Haste % > MP = -Enmity. The rare Dia Wand can be used for Dia, as well. 
**Repose Gear - An important set of gear to have to sleep monsters. This macro is a must have once you are able to cast Repose. Focus on Divine Magic Skill = Magic Accuracy > MND > Haste %.
**Regen/Barspell gear - The only piece of gear that directly affects Regen is the afv2 Cleric's Bliault. Barspells can be aided with Blessed Briault and Cleric's Pantaloons as well as Enhancing Magic Skill (if only by very minute amounts). 
**Devotion Gear - The amount of MP restored by Devotion is affected by the amount of HP you have. In order to maximize the amount of MP you give to your party member, put on HP+ gear and cure yourself to full before using Devotion. This will make a big difference in how much you MP you can give to your PLD or fellow mage.
*Melee Gear
**TP Gear - TP gear is the gear you use while meleeing a monster. Stats to focus on are Haste% > Club/Staff Skill > Accuracy > Attack > STR/DEX. The amounts of Haste %/Accuracy/Attack are situational and will have to be tailored to what you are fighting. For a weak monster that you have no problem hitting (like farming leeches) you can focus on Haste % and Attack, while on harder mobs you will have to focus on Haste% and Accuracy. For extremely hard to hit mobs, you may even have to sacrifice Haste% for Accuracy (such as trading your Walahra Turban for an Optical Hat). Remember that Haste% caps at 25% from gear. 
**Utsusemi Gear - As a WHM/NIN you will want to macro on gear with Haste% > Evasion > Parry Skill > -Spell Interruption when casting Utsusemi onto yourself to reduce cast-time and to keep Utsusemi: Ichi from being interrupted. You will also want to macro this gearset into Stoneskin when soloing or tanking a monster. 
**WS gear - As a melee WHM your #1 WS is probably Hexa Strike, with other notable WSes being Black Halo and the staff Retribution and Spirit Taker. Your mods for all of these WSes are STR and MND, and as such, you should focus on these stats. Depending on the mob you are fighting (and ESPECIALLY for landing all hits of Hexa Strike) you should also wear Accuracy gear while WSing. The perfect balance will vary on what you are fighting and what WS you are using. If you have a Prudence Torque or Temperance Torque, you should keep those on for WS. 
***Other WS options are the sea gorgets. For Hexa Strike you use Flame or Light Gorget, for Retribution you use Soil or Aqua Gorget, and for Black Halo you use Breeze Gorget. 
***Note: When out meleeing you will probably also want to bring along your HMP gear as well as Devotion or your hardest hitting cure gear to the field. 
Italics will note items that you may wish to hold on to for level-capped events, such as ballista, CoP missions and BCNM. Although only the best items for their level are listed, bold items are considered the pinnacle of their level and are sometimes hard to get.

==Party==
Name 	Lvl	Effects 	Comments
Maple Wand (+1) 	1 	Mind +1 (+2) Intelligence +1 (+2) 	This one is pretty optional as you're probably going to solo to level 10, and will therefore want a melee staff or club.
Willow Wand (+1) 	9 	Mind +2 (+3) Intelligence +2 (+3) 	In party play, wands are your best bet until level 51, when you get Light Staff, due to their high MND.
Pilgrim's Wand 	10 	MP Recovered While Healing +2 	Camp Nunyenunc for this great piece that lasts until level 51. Macro this in while you rest. Level cap item: 20,30,40,50
Yew Wand (+1) 	18 	Mind +3 (+4) Intelligence +3 (+4) 	Level cap item: 20, 30
Melampus Staff 	29 	"Cure" Potency +3% Mind +2 Intelligence -2 	Good curing staff could be useful all the way to level 51, or could be swapped for Ceres' Spica at level 43
Chestnut Wand (Solid Wand) 	32 	Mind +4 (+5) Intelligence +4 (+5) 	Level cap item: 40
Dia Wand 	40 	Enhances "Cure" Potency Enhances "Dia" Effect 	Drops from ENM Empty Memories at Promy Vahzl. If you manage to get this this may last until Light Staff. Handy for 40-caps as well. Level cap item: 40
Ceres' Spica 	43 	"Cure" Potency +6% MP +8 	Good curing staff useful up to level 51
Rose Wand (+1) 	48 	Mind +5 (+6) Intelligence +5 (+6) 	Level cap item: 50
Light Staff (Apollo's Staff) 	51 	STR +1(+2) DEX +1(+2) VIT +1(+2)
AGI +1(+2) INT +1(+2) MND +1(+2) CHR +1(+2) Resist Vs. Dark +15(+20)
"Cure" potency +10%
Additional effect: Light damage 	Get this, it’ll last into end-game. Even if you replace it with Templar Mace or Healing Staff for cures, you’ll need this for Repose. ’’Level cap item: 60’’
Dark Staff (Pluto's Staff) 	51 	STR +1(+2) DEX +1(+2) VIT +1(+2) AGI +1(+2) INT +1(+2) MND +1(+2) CHR +1(+2) Resist Vs. Light +15(+20) MP Recovered While Healing +10 Additional effect: Darkness damage	This is pretty important gear, so get it ASAP. Replaces Pilgrim's Wand for HMP gear. Level cap item: 60
Earth Staff (Terra's Staff) 	51 	VIT +4 Resist Vs. Lightning +15 Physical Damage Taken -20% Additional effect: Earth damage 	Optional. Macro in for Slow. Level cap item: 60
Wind Staff (Auster's Staff) 	51 	AGI +4 Resist Vs. Earth +15 Evasion +10 	Optional. Macro in for Silence. Level cap item: 60

Healing Staff/Dryad Staff 	55 	MP +50 "Cure" potency +10% 	Optional and expensive. The MP doesn't make it remarkably better than Light Staff, and you'd want to keep your Light Staff anyway for Repose. Level cap item: 60
Asklepios 	62 	"Cure" potency +5% Converts 30 HP to MP 	Optional. Drops from Carmine-tailed Janberry. A fun toy for WHM/NIN when paired with Templar Mace due to the total of +15% "Cure" potency.
Templar Mace 	71 	MND +5 "Cure" potency +10% Enhances "Undead Killer" effect 	Optional. Coupled with a MND shield like Numinous Shield or Muse Tariqah this may be preferable to Light Staff for cures. It falls to player preference, really.
Brass Jadagna (Brass Jadagna +1)	71 	HP +29(+30) MP -29(-30) VIT +5(+6) 	Devotion macro gear. If you don't want to lose the MP, Fourth Mace, Seveneyes, Reserve Captain's Mace and Senior Gold Musketeer's Rod are better options and can serve in more situations.
Seveneyes 	71 	HP +27 MP +27 Resist Vs. Lightning +7 Resist Vs. Water +7 Resist Vs. Light +7 "Conserve MP" +7 Elemental Magic Skill +7 	Optional drop from Khimeira. Macro in for buffs like Reraise, Haste, Protectra/Shellra, etc for the Conserve MP, although some may prefer Capricorn Staff's Haste for buffs.
Fourth Mace 	71 	HP +30 MP +30 "Magic Atk. Bonus" +4 "Conserve MP" +4 	Optional. Macro in for buffs like Reraise, Haste, Protectra/Shellra, etc for the Conserve MP, although some may prefer Capricorn Staff's Haste for buffs.
Reserve Captain's Mace 	71 	HP +30 Accuracy +6 Citizens of San d'Oria MP Recovered While Healing +7 	If you are San d'Orian then this paired with Legion Scutum will give you more HMP than a Dark Staff.
Senior Gold Musketeer's Rod 	71 	HP +30 Attack +6 Citizens of Bastok: MP Recovered While Healing +7 	If you are Bastokan then this paired with Legion Scutum will give you more HMP than a Dark Staff.
Capricorn Staff 	74 	Haste +5% 	You can macro this in with buffs like Haste, Protect/Shell, Reraise etc, to lower recast and casting times.
Yagrush 	75 	Magic Accuracy+10 Enhances "Divine Veil" effect "Mystic Boon" 	Mythic weapon, so good luck. The Enhances Divine Veil effect means Divine veil is always active, so while a white mage without a Yagrush has to use divine seal to AoE erase, a white mage with a Yagrush will always AoE erase, with or without divine seal. While this would be an unlikely weapon choice in a party setting, the white mage mythic is amazing for white mages in endgame linkshells.
==Melee==
Melee WHMs tend to prefer clubs over staves because of Hexa Strike, however before then the choice between Staves and Clubs is a personal one. Even after Hexa Strike, the staff skills of Spirit Taker and Retribution may make you want to keep a good DD staff handy. 
===Clubs===
Name 	Lvl	Dmg 	Delay 	Effects 	Comments

Pixie Mace 	24 	16 	300 	Resist Vs. Light +3, Resist Vs. Dark +3, Accuracy +5, Additional Effect: Light Damage 	Offhand this for the Accuracy bonus as WHM/NIN. ’’Level cap item: 30’’
Royal Squire%27s Mace 	30 	18 	291 	Attack+5 	Pixie Mace is probably a better offhand, unless you feel that you’re hitting well enough. ’’Level cap item: 30’’
Maul (Maul +1) 	31 	22 (23)	324 (315)	 	
Holy Maul (Holy Maul +1) 	38 	26 (27)	324 (315)	Mind +3, Resist Vs. Dark +4, Additional Effect: Light Damage 	You may want to give up your Pixie Mace/Republic Hammer and dual wield these for the MND bonuses to Seraph Strike. More DPS than your AF weapon. These last for a long time. ’’Level cap item: 40’’
Arcana Breaker 	54 	34 	324 	Additional Effect vs Arcana: Weakens Defense 	You will probably want to dual wield these as MND does not augment True Strike and you will want to start moving towards a STR build for WS until Judgment. ’’Level cap item: 60’’
Kraken Club 	63 	11 	264 	Occasionally Attacks 2 to 8 Times 	Expensive and rare but the best TP-building offhand club you can get. Good luck.
Darksteel Maul (Darksteel Maul +1)	65 	39 (40)	340 (334)	Attack+10 (+12) 	Finally, replacements for your Arcana Breaker.
Flan Smasher (r/ex) 	68 	30 	291 	Accuracy +9, Attack +9, Magic Attack Bonus +5 	A good offhand for Darksteel Maul if you don’t have Sea Robber/Seawolf cudgels. Assault appraisal.
Sea Robber Cudgel (r/ex) 	68 	42 	340 	Mind +5, Accuracy -5, Attack +15 	The weaker of the pirate cudgels. A good mainhand for the whole 2 levels before you can get Purgatory Mace.
Seawolf Cudgel (r/ex) 	68 	40 	340 	Strength +5, Accuracy +15, Attack -5 	A very good offhand, better than Flan Smasher but Deae Gratia and Morgenstern are better.
Purgatory Mace 	70 	41 	324 	Strength +3, Mind +3, Additional Effect: Stun 	This is the best main hand you can buy. The STR/MND are good for Hexa Strike.
Brass Jadagna (Brass Jadagna +1) 	71 	45 (46)	340 (334)	HP +29 (+31), MP -29 (-31), Vitality +5 (+6) 	Good only if you don’t have Purgatory Mace or any of the awesome r/ex clubs listed here. Replaces Darksteel Maul.
Morgenstern (r/ex) 	72 	27 	310 	Latent Effect: DMG: 40, Latent Effect: Critical Hit Rate +6% 	A very good offhand obtained through KSNM. Also functions well as a mainhand, though Purgatory Mace and Perdu Wand are better.
Perdu Wand (r/ex) 	73 	34 	216 	Latent Effect: DMG: 39, Hidden Effects: Attack +14, Accuracy +5 	The best non-mythic, non-relic club you can buy. The incredible speed of this wand lends to its great DPS. Pair it with a Kraken Club/Prudence Rod, or Morgenstern or Deae Gratia if you don’t have the former. You buy this weapon with ISNM.
Prudence Rod (r/ex) 	73 	22 	288 	INT +7 Virtue Stone equipped: Occasionally attacks twice 	The best offhand weapon for fast TP gain other than Kraken Club. Dropped from Jailer of Prudence.
Deae Gratia 	74 	35 	300 	MP +30 Accuracy +9 Attack +9 "Counter" +1 Additional Effect: HP Drain 	A very good offhand weapon.
Mjollnir (r/ex) 	75 	57 	309 	Attack +20 Additional effect: Recover MP "Randgrith" Hidden Effect: Attacks occasionally do 3 times normal damage.	Unttainable for most, this is the best mainhand weapon for WHM available in the game. Relic weapon. Goodluck.
Yagrush 	75 	43 	267 	Magic Accuracy+10 Enhances "Divine Veil" effect "Mystic Boon" 	Mythic weapon, so good luck. Not as great as Mjollnir as a damage dealing weapon, but may be easier to obtain since linkshell support will be greater.

Kebbie (r/ex) 	69 	56 	366 	"Magic Defense Bonus"+5 Set: Increases HP, VIT, Accuracy, Ranged Accuracy 	Drop from Observant Zekka. Better than Catalyst if you don’t have the Supremacy Earring.
Mythic Pole (+1) 	65 	53 (54)	402 (390)	 	If you don’t have Kebbie or Catalyst you want this.
Yigit Staff (r/ex) 	70 	56 	390 (390)	Assault: DMG: 57, MP +2% 	Better than Kebbie/Catalyst. Assault appraisal.
Imperial Pole (r/ex) 	71 	60 	402 	Depending On Day: Increases Elemental Weapon Skill Damage 	Better than Mythic Pole, though not better than Yigit Staff.
Prester (r/ex) 	71 	58 	366 	Latent effect: Increases weaponskill accuracy and damage Additional effect: Wind damage 	Better than Yigit Staff, but it’s a SCNM drop.

Primate Staff (+1) 	73 	68 (69)	412 (399)	Critical Hit Rate +5% (+7%), Latent Effect: Delay 329 (319), Latent Effect: Accuracy +10 (+12) 	Latent effect is to eat Pamamas. Probably the best staff you can have as a WHM.
Mekki Shakki 	73 	70 	412 	Strength +5, Accuracy -4, Attack +12, Store TP +5 	Arguable alternative to Primate Staff +1. Use if tired of pamamas. Droms from SNM Experimental Lamia.

Brass Hairpin (+1) 	10 	HP: -4 MP: +10 (+11) 	While there are MND options available, like Traveler%27s Hat, hairpins are going to be your main source of MP in gear for awhile, so they are more popular.
Sol Cap (r/ex) 	10 	DEF:3 Adds "Regen" effect HP and MP Recovered While Healing +1 	Obtained through recruiting people into FFXI and then waiting 70 days. This one is better than the Lunar Cap because the Lunar Cap’s regen is just an enchantment, however, if you have both, the regen stacks. The HMP makes this a handy macro piece even if you decide to stick with hairpins.
Lunar Cap (r/ex) 	10 	DEF:3 HP and MP recovered while healing +1 Enchantment: Adds "Regen" effect (Activated if party member has Sol Cap equipped) 	Obtained through recruiting people into FFXI. Not as good as the Sol Cap but you can get this cap sooner.

Rain Hat (r/ex) 	41 	MP: 20 MND: 2 CHR: 2 Rainy Weather: Adds "Regen" Effect 	Better than Electrum Hairpin, but drops from Noble Mold, who spawns only when it rains.
Crow Beret (Raven Beret) 	50 	Def: 15 (16) Enmity: -7 (-8) Evasion: +4 (+5) 	This hat trumps all that came before it and lasts a very long time (up to endgame), so get the HQ. ’’Level cap item: 50, 60’’
Storm Zucchetto(r/ex) 	50 	Def: 15 Accuracy: 4 Magic Accuracy: 2 	Rare assault appraisal. If you’re lucky enough to have one, you can macro it into enfeebles. ’’Level cap item: 50, 60’’
Healer%27s Cap(r/ex) 	54 	Def: 21 MP: 13 MND: 4 Vs. Dark: 15 Enmity: -1 	AF hat. I personally preferred the Raven Beret over this. You can macro it into debuffs, though, if you don’t have Storm Zucchetto. ’’Level cap item: 60’’
Cobra Hat 	55 	DEF: 17 INT +2 MP Recovered While Healing +1 Set: Increases MP 	If you don’t have Lunar Cap/Sol Cap then you should get this for your HMP macro. ’’Level cap item: 60’’
Cobra Cloche (r/ex) 	68 	DEF 12 HP +15 MP +15 "Magic Attack Bonus" +1 "Conserve MP" +2 Set: Increases Magic Accuracy 	Optional. Macro in for your buffs like Haste, Regen, Pro/Shell, Reraise for the Conserve MP.
Mirror Tiara 	69 	DEF: 20 Enmity -7 MP recovered while healing +3 Campaign: Magic damage taken -10% 	The most HMP you can wear on your head, the -enmity bonus is very nice too.
Carline Ribbon (r/ex) 	70 	MP +30 Magic Accuracy +4 Enhances "Resist Stun" effect Set: Increases CHR 	An assault appraisal. Macro in for Repose and other debuffs.
Hydra Beret (r/ex) 	70 	Accuracy +3 Evasion +3 Enmity -8 MP Recovered While Healing +2 	Optional. Dynamis-Tavnazia drop. If you happen to have one, this can replace Raven Beret. HMP is good too, if you don’t have a Mirror Tiara.
Ree%27s Headgear (r/ex) 	71 	INT +2 MND +2 CHR +2 Magic Accuracy +2 "Magic Attack Bonus" +2 	Optional. SCNM drop. Use for debuffs if you don’t have anything better (like Carline Ribbon or Elite Beret +1.
Errant Hat (Mahatma Hat) 	72 	Def: 28 STR: -2 (-3) DEX: -2 (-3) VIT: -2 (-3) AGI: -2 (-3) INT: 3 (4) MND: 3 (4) CHR: 3 (4) Enmity: -5 (-6) 	Optional. Can replace Raven Beret. If you have the HQ, it does replace Raven Beret.
Oracle%27s Cap (r/ex) 	70 	Def: 19 HP: 15 MP: 25 MP Recovered While Healing: 2 Elemental Magic Skill: 5 	ZNM drop. Use if for some reason you don’t have Mirror Tiara by now.
Yigit Turban (r/ex) 	72 	Def: 21 MND: 4 Enmity: -5 Magic Attack Bonus: 2 MP Recovered While Healing: 1 	Good hat, works inbetween other gear pieces. Better than Zenith Crown, Raven Beret and Errant Hat but Mahatma Hat and Zenith Crown +1 are better.
Zenith Crown (+1) (r/ex) 	73 	Def: 30 INT: 3(+4) MND: 3(+4) Convert HP to MP: 50(55) Enhances "Resist Silence" Effect 	This crown can be used instead of Raven Beret or Errant Hat if you wish. It is good to get one even if you don’t want to replace those two as the Convert HP to MP can be used to trigger the Medicine Ring latent.
Elite Beret (+1) (r/ex) 	74 	Def: 28 Enfeebling Magic Skill: 4(5) Elemental Magic Skill: 4(5) Summoning Magic Skill: 4(5) Divine Magic Skill: 4(5) 	Great for debuffs if you don’t have Carline Ribbon. Better than Cobra Cloche and Ree%27s Headgear.
Healer%27s Cap %2B1 (r/ex) 	74 	MP: 28 MND: 7 MP Recovered While Healing: 1 Enmity: -1 	One of the best (if not the best) WHM hats in the game, and not that hard to get once you dip your toes into endgame.
Goliard Chapeau (r/ex) 	75 	Def: 20 HP: 20 MP: 20 MND: 5 CHR: 5 Enmity: -4 MP recovered while healing: 2 Set: "Magic Defense Bonus" 	One of the best WHM hats that competes with Healer%27s Cap %2B1. Which is better is a personal choice, but I prefer the MND bonus in Healer%27s Cap %2B1 to the -[Enmity] bonus in Goliard Chapeau.
Marduk%27s Tiara (r/ex) 	75 	Def: 17 MND: 3 CHR: 3 MP: 4% Divine Magic Skill: 7 Singing Skill: 7 Summoning Magic Skill: 7 Enmity: -3 Set: Enhances "Fast Cast" Effect	The best WHM hat for Repose but it’s a Salvage piece that generally goes to Bard.
Nashira Turban (r/ex) 	75 	Def: 19 Magic Accuracy: 5 Enmity: -5 Haste: 2% Spell Interruption Rate: -10% 	A great WHM option for debuffs. It is the best general enfeebling magic hat in the game for WHM except for Valkyrie%27s Hat.
Shadow Hat (Valkyrie%27s Hat) (r/ex)	75 	Def: 18 MP: 35 (40) Enmity: -3 (4) Damage Taken: 3% (4) Magic Accuracy: 5 (6) 	The HQ version is the best enfeebling magic gear you can get for WHM. Marduk%27s Tiara is still better for Repose, though.
Walahra Turban (r/ex) 	75 	HP: 30 MP: 30 Haste: 5% 	This hat is great for lowering recast time for spells like Haste, Erase, Raise, Reraise, etc. The HP is also good for Devotion.
Quick end-game hat comparison for general curing: Raven Beret = Errant Hat = Zenith Crown < Yigit Turban < Zenith Crown +1 < Mahatma Hat < Goliard Chapeau < Healer%27s Cap %2B1.

Rain Hat (r/ex) 	41 	MP: 20 MND: 2 CHR: 2 Rainy Weather: Adds "Regen" Effect 	Noble Mold is difficult to camp, but if you managed to get this then you can use it as a club WS macro. Staves should stick to Federation Headgear.
Voyager Sallet (r/ex) 	41 	STR: 3 DEX: 3 	Beats Rain Hat but is difficult to get. It’s worth it. This armor is great for all DD jobs. ‘’Level cap item: 50, 60’’

Optical Hat (r/ex) 	70 	Evasion: 10 Ranged Accuracy: 10 Accuracy: 10 	Considered a rite of passage for melee jobs, this is the best TP hat for WHM where accuracy is an issue.
Gnadbhod%27s Helm (r/ex) 	71 	Def: 24 STR: 6 DEX: 4 Slow: 5% Attack: 8 	An SCNM drop, so it is hard to get (especially if WHM is your main job!). Rivals Healer%27s Cap %2B1 for best WS piece.
Healer%27s Cap %2B1 (r/ex) 	74 	MP: 28 MND: 7 MP Recovered While Healing: 1 Enmity: -1 	MND augments all of your WSes as a WHM, making this a great macro hat for melee.

Cobra Tunica 	1 	Def: 1 MP: 8 	This is the best for party play until you get Priest%27s Robe at 19 or Baron%27s Saio however it is recommended to use body armor with more defense when soloing to level 10. See the Body Melee chart for more solo-friendly options.
Anu%27s Doublet (r/ex) 	15 	Def: 10 MND: 1 	Salvage piece. If you have this, you probably have WHM to at least 37 already, but if you happen to have it (or are Lvl syncing) this lasts until level 19.
Priest%27s Robe 	19 	Def: 14 MND: 1 Vs. Dark: 2 	You can skip this and just wait for Baron%27s Saio if you wish.

Bishop%27s Robe (+1) 	35 	Def: 22(23) MP: 3(4) MND: 2(3) Vs. Dark: 3(4) 	Replaces Baron%27s Saio.

Personally, I would stick with Elder%27s Surcoat unless you are lucky enough to have a Bishop%27s Robe %2B1. ‘’Level cap gear: 40, 50, 60’’
Crow Jupon (Raven Jupon) 	50 	Def: 28 (29) Enmity -8 (-9) Evasion: 8 (9) 	Get this. It lasts until 68-70 for general curing. You should keep Bishop%27s Robe for debuffs. ‘’Level cap item: 50, 60’’

Oracle%27s Robe (r/ex) 	72 	Def: 41 HP: 20 MP: 20 MP Recovered While Healing: 6 Magic Accuracy: 6 Magic Attack Bonus: 6 	ZNM drop. Better than Errant Houppelande and Healer%27s Briault %2B1 for HMP purposes, and the Magic Accuracy is great for Repose.

Amity Cape 	51 	Enmity -3 	Optional luxury item. Used to synth into Errant Cape, one of the best capes for WHM available. If you use this, keep your White/Red Cape +1 for debuffs.

The -VIT will negate the +MND for your cures. As such, I do not recommend it. Note: 1 MND = 3 VIT so your making a net gain of around 3 MND still from this item
