What does this mean?
You will be able to get your character closer and closer to iLvl90. It will be a very good idea for people to get their EX Primal accessories, as a lot of these have become BiS (best in slot for maximum job performance). You will have to do your research to see which accessories are BiS for you. I can add BiS lists for different jobs as I find them. Remember that even though an iLvl90 drop may not be BiS, it is still best practice to get that item for the time being for the iLvl increase, and adjust the rest of your gear and food accordingly to keep your acc cap for Coil.

Best Method for EndGame Gear Progression
This is just my opinion, so I'm looking for feedback. This is the best order of activities for improving your iLvl.

Priority
1. Farm dungeons for Philo Tomes for iLvl70 Darklight gear
2. Obtain Relic weapon by beating HardMode Primals
3. Farm dungeons for Myth tomes for iLvl90 Myth gear / Zenith Weapon (most jobs upgrade weapon first)
4. Binding Coil for iLvl90 gear & iLvl95 weapon (best frequency of iLvl90 gear.. if you're lucky)
5. EX Primals for iLvl90 accessories IF your need accessories > iLvl70 OR EX accessories are now BiS
Optional
6. Crystal Tower for iLvl80 armor IF you need armor > iLvl70
7. Ultima Weapon for iLvl80 accessories IF you need accessories > iLvl70
