Weapon Damage Tiers

Damage ceilings are there to keep each weapon stage meaningful. They apply to the whole weapon skill, not each individual hit.

Your weapon	Normal weapon-skill ceiling	Notes
Below iLvl 119	40,000	A temporary leveling ceiling
iLvl 119	79,999	The normal endgame baseline
Final Ambuscade	99,999	Linked native skills can reach 149,999
Final Relic / Empyrean / Mythic / Aeonic	999,999 native skill	Each family gains stronger final-skill scaling
Final Prime	1,499,999–1,999,999 native skill	Support, hybrid, and damage jobs have different ceilings

Area weapon skills use lower ceilings so one action cannot clear a full pack at the same damage as a single-target skill.

Companion damage

Your weapon also matters for companion jobs:

Main-hand stage	Ready / Blood Pact / automaton skill ceiling
Standard iLvl 119	79,999
Final Ambuscade	99,999
Final REMA	999,999
Matching Prime	1,499,999

The global safety ceiling is 999,999 for ordinary damage. Prime native weapon skills have a higher final exception. This is why the weapon journey is more than a cosmetic checklist: every family opens a new level of output.
