I made this Samurai guide based on my previous guides. I hope to do this for every job. The goal here is to lay out all the locations of NM's and quests so that everything can be accessed from one page. I want to keep this simple so please don't do any major changes without asking; however feel free to make any minor corrections or fill out missing information. Enjoy! --Kraftlos 04:28, May 22, 2012 (UTC)
Mithra in full Unkai armor.
Basic Samurai Empyrean Set
The main pieces are pretty weak. Most people will at least want to upgrade their equipment to +1 before bringing it into their regular rotation.
Unkai Armor Set
Main Pieces

+1 Seals
To upgrade your equipment, you must be level 75 and you must have started the relevant trial. When you are ready, trade one piece of equipment to the Magian Moogle in Ru'Lude Gardens (H-5) and review the trial, then the moogle will inscribe the trial on your armor piece. When you've collected the seals, return and trade the armor and the required seals to the to chest on the right, then trade the armor to the Moogle receive the +1 version. Unfortunately, the three accessory pieces can't be upgraded.
Unkai Armor +1 Set
- Kabuto - 8 Unkai Seal: Head (Trial 4167)
- Kote - 8 Unkai Seal: Hands (Trial 4327)
- Domaru - 10 Unkai Seal: Body (Trial 4347)
- Haidate - 8 Unkai Seal: Legs (Trial 4187)
- Sune-Ate - 8 Unkai Seal: Feet (Trial 4207)
+2 Jewels/Coins/Cards/Stones
A lot of these can be obtained from zone bosses. It's always good to check and see if you can get several quests done at once. Like the previous upgrades, these are exchanged via the Magian Moogle in Ru'Lude Gardens. Because these are used by multiple jobs, you will be lotting against the other party or alliance members to get these.
Unkai Armor +2 Set
- Kabuto - 6 Jewels of Vision (Trial 4227)
- Gloves - 6 Jewels of Wieldance (Trial 4367)
- Domaru - 9 Jewels of Ardor (Trial 4387)

- Sune-Ate - 6 Jewels of Voyage (Trial 4267)
