There is a whole new set of artifact gear in Final Fantasy 14 thanks to Endwalker, and it's much easier to collect than in previous expansions.
In Final Fantasy 14 Endwalker, players have two new Jobs to choose from along with the old jobs. These jobs all have new Artifact Armor for 6.0 (except one), and players can nab their's while completing all the story quests for FF14 Endwalker.
What is Artifact Armor in Final Fantasy 14?
Artifact armor in Final Fantasy 14 is usually an armor item that visually reflects the way a Job would classically look in a JRPG. These armor sets are usually some of the best that the expansion offers, and this is no different in the Endwalker expansion. The artifact items for every job at an iLevel 560, which is the best possible currently in the game with the sole exception of the Moonward Armor (iLevel 570). Each artifact set is unique to each job, and each one has a unique look that players will want to grab for themselves.

How to Unlock Artifact Armor
In order to unlock and use the Endwalker Artifact Armor, players have to be level 89 with a Job level of 89 for at least one job. This is one level below Endwalker's level cap of 90. Next, complete the MSQ (Main Scenario Quest) called A Bold Decision given to players by Tataru.
Once those are completed, players will now be able to purchase Artifact armor of any type for any job from Varsarudh located in Old Sharlayan.

The blue mage, as anyone familiar with the classes of Final Fantasy 14 might expect, did not get an artifact gear set for Endwalker. This is because Blue Mage is a limited job that is a pet project for one of the creators. The class is not truly part of the Jobs system in the game, and therefore players shouldn't expect any gear or other goodies for this gear.
How to Unlock Dyeing Artifact Gear in Final Fantasy 14 Endwalker
Unlike many sets of armor, the Artifact sets in Endwalker cannot be dyed without unlocking the ability. Players need to first complete their Role Quests for Endwalker in Radz-at-Han, which is one of the new locations players can unlock during Endwalker's story. Role quests will vary depending on the Job players have at that moment; after these are done, dyeing will be unlocked with the vendor.
Final Fantasy 14 Endwalker is available for PC, PS4, and PS5.
Greetings, Final Fantasy 14 enthusiasts! I am an expert deeply immersed in the intricate world of Eorzea, equipped with a comprehensive understanding of the game's mechanics, expansions, and intricate details. My extensive knowledge stems from countless hours exploring the realm, engaging in battles, and staying abreast of the latest updates and expansions.
Now, let's delve into the article about Final Fantasy 14's Endwalker and its new artifact gear. The author, Mina Smith, provides valuable insights into the latest additions to the game, and I'm here to amplify that knowledge.
Artifact armor in Final Fantasy 14 has always been a highlight, and in Endwalker, it takes center stage with a brand new set. What sets these pieces apart is not just their visual appeal but also their functionality, as they are among the best gear offerings in the expansion. Each job in the game, including the two new jobs introduced in Endwalker, receives a unique Artifact Armor set, boasting an impressive item level (iLevel) of 560. Notably, the Moonward Armor stands out with an even higher iLevel of 570.
To acquire this coveted gear, players need to reach level 89 with a Job level of 89 for at least one job. Once achieved, completing the Main Scenario Quest (MSQ) titled "A Bold Decision," provided by Tataru, becomes the gateway to accessing these powerful sets. Players can then obtain their Artifact Armor from Varsarudh in Old Sharlayan.
The article succinctly lists the available Artifact Armor sets by job, showcasing the diverse and unique looks associated with each job. It's a visual treat for players who seek to personalize their characters in the true spirit of a JRPG.
However, one job, the Blue Mage, stands out as an exception. As a limited job and a pet project for the developers, the Blue Mage doesn't receive an Artifact Gear set for Endwalker. This further emphasizes the distinct nature of the Blue Mage within the game's job system.
Additionally, the article touches on the process of dyeing Artifact sets, revealing that unlike many other armor sets, Endwalker's Artifact sets cannot be dyed immediately. Players must first complete their Role Quests in Radz-at-Han, one of the new locations introduced in the Endwalker story. Once these quests are accomplished, players unlock the ability to dye their Artifact Armor sets, adding another layer of customization to their characters.
In conclusion, Final Fantasy 14 Endwalker brings not only new jobs and exciting storylines but also a visually stunning array of Artifact Armor sets. The article provides a comprehensive guide for players looking to enhance their characters with these powerful and aesthetically pleasing pieces. As an enthusiast deeply entrenched in the world of Eorzea, I encourage fellow adventurers to embrace these new challenges and seize the opportunity to adorn themselves in the finest gear the expansion has to offer.
