if i were you i'd try score my BiS maybe? if you're more interested in immediate gain then get helm rather than boots. Try to avoid the accessories hoping that the monk ones will tide you over until you finish the rest of your set.
we are very heavy into allagan gear currently. hope you have good luck

Don't get the head, you really shouldn't need the accuracy. You're better off getting the feet and holding out for the Allagan head, the crit will benefit you a lot more.

So from what I've been reading

Helm: Allaghan(?)
Body: Myth
Pants: Myth
Glove: Allaghan
Boots:myth
Belt: heroes belt
earring/wrist- Heroes
other acc: allaghan?

Well you can refer here for one.

I got the chest first personally, and then belt/accessories, boots, pants. since the old BiS were mostly allagan drops. (visor, etc). But now it's mostly myth. I have 470 accuracy and about 490-ish crit with the pants, but if i use old DL pants i get 479 acc and 467ish crit.

So ... yeah. Try to punch in the numbers yourself. You can't get all at once so it's best if you slowly work out what item you want next.

Weapon: Allagan Spear
Gloves: Allagan Gauntlets Of Maiming
Helmet: Wyrm's Armet
Chest: Wyrm's Mail
Waist: Hero's Belt Of Maiming
Pants: Wyrm's Breeches
Feet: Wyrm's Greaves
Neck: Hero's Necklace Of Slaying
Earrings: Hero's Earring Of Slaying
Wrists: Inferno Bangle Of Striking
Ring1: Allagan Ring Of Maiming
Ring2: Vortex Ring Of Striking
Food: Hq Deviled Eggs

So this?

Yes, that's the ones you should look for. Taking availability into account (if you're doing Coils) the first to get should be boots (T5 drop) and helm (T4 drop), so the parts you won't get a placeholder before long. Taking the chest first give you the look but Allegan's armor is a turn 1 drop, so you may end with temporary loosing stats.

One thing to consider : aim for armor pieces before jewelry. The dps gain per Myth is more or less the same but armor pieces add defense and vitality, that's a big difference. When gearing into DL I choose to take all the jewelry first as it was a much better improvement for my DPS. I understood my error when entering Titan Brutal, every non dodged event was a one shot. Not like you're supposed to get hit, but having the chance to survive when you fail makes a big difference, moreover when you're just learning the fight and you WILL get hit. Now I always take the armor pieces first (left side of inventory) and then i check for jewelry.

I went +1, Body, Helm, Feet, Gloves (they just won't drop) and Ring. Everything else is Allagan right now for me. May buy the Belt or Neck, but it really depends on if I get any drops this week out of Coil (Head especially, since I'm 20 points over the Accuracy cap; want the Head and Maiming Neck primarily right now, and if I can get the Gloves great).

i always go for the most expensive first. because waiting sucks. the only thing was i had to keep in mind that accuracy would always have to be around a certain number since I was on coil. so for me it was +1 (when cap was 300), myth chest, myth feet, myth gloves, then head last. I got allagan pants. so after i replace all the jewelry, I will most likely get the wyrm legs just to have.
