So... them iLvl90 equips. What's everyone getting?

Trust me im far from getting anything in iLvl 90 but from all that I read and seen, here's what I understand.

For weapons we got the Extreme Primals, Allagans from Coils of Bahamut and the Relic Zenith. I have yet to find one EM Primal for Paladins. never even seen the Allagans one and Zenith still looks awesome. What about everyone? What do you want or have?

Armors... Allagans or the "Ascended Artefact" Armor, as I would liek to call it, cause as I see it , its an upgraded version of your class armor. I see mixes of both, sometimes pure Mythology Armors but rarely have I seen a ful Allagan's.

Accesories... We got Allagans, Extreme Primals and Mythology (Hero's). Of the 3, Myths are the easiest but is anyone looking for EM Primal Accs or is using them? What about Allagans?

What do you guys look for in an item? Power? Effective ness? Visually appealing? all 3?

Also, I know its unrelated to the thread but I had to edit my post 3 times until I met the 1000 character limit... dumb limitation :|

relic zenith way better

Ah... Drop Rates... I swear I think games have a Psychological Need Detector and outright troll you/refuse to give you what you want.

Ever since I gotten to 50 and cleared the game, I have played HM Ifrit to get his weapon to start my end game.... 20+ instances later, the sword hasnt appeared ONCE, and I've seen the books more than 5 times, sometimes in a row. Just for future experiences, I've gotten WHM, SCH and BRD's weapons cause its the only things I could get. :|

Armor... first time today doing CT, and after bone dragon the chest had the Fuma Gloves... why oh why didnt I skip it? X_X everyone on my alliance ignored it, and I got it, then after King Bahamut, it was the Armor of Light, just teasing me D: Monday seems like an eternity now

Since gearscore became a thing, I'm getting everything I can because this game is not alt friendly.

Gearscore?

Average item Level. Personally I'm getting what gives me the stats I'm deficient in. I don't really care about average item Level, just whether it's better than what I have and has the stat I need. If not, then I don't get it.

It's all PUGs has been seeing lately... so I don't really choose, I get whatever will give me more of it.

I am getting the Crimson Set for black mage though... only need the boots now. That set is gorgeous.

oooh, I just look at it as a req for duties. Higher stats doesnt necessarily mean better performance. I would want the iLvl90s just cause of how hard they are to get

gl getting i90 accessories without ACC that only allagan accessories have that

well, not like im expecting to tackle coil anytime soon, hell i dont even have my relic yet.

I'm currently working towards a "best in slot" setup for my Warrior and Paladin. I haven't been lucky enough to get the Allagan headpiece from Turn 5 yet but I have both Allagan Weapons and full i90 gear on both of them.

I have all the Allagan Accessories but use a Hero Bracelet as the stats are better. Mythology Body + Hands are best for both jobs but for the time being I am using Allagan Body + Mythology head. Whilst PLD Legs are Better than the Allagan legs I loathe using them as they look like Boxer shorts... fortunately I rarely play Paladin any more as Warrior is just outright better :D

After what 4 months of ff14, i so far got a whooping 3 pieces of allagan gear for my main char which is a tank......

I happen to like the design of Dragoon's Wyrm set more than I do the Allagan armor.

To put it simple: The best I can get under the circumstances until I can get the best in slot.

The problem is BiS is BiS when you pair it with the rest of the BiSs :p
Even then it depends on what you are fighting. Coil requires more accuracy than the extreme primals so you can replace some accuracy with other stats when doing the latter.
My suggestion would be try to get everything and mix and match based on what you are doing.
Get first pieces that will not unbalance your current set and if you have no other alternative, wait until you can get 2 pieces to balance them, and keep going that way. ;)
