SMN mythology pieces

[KaosPrimeZero]

So i have amassed enough Mytho tombs to finally get the body, however should that be the first piece i prioritise? The rest of my gear is DL and Demoguegue where DL is not available and using AF body as i wont wear the DL cowl (just think of it like the FFXI republican Subligar lol).

So what about the other pieces/accessories? Which order should they be attained? Any info from the more experienced Summoners out there?

Here are the pieces:

Will have DL legs today (earring was left to last as the upgrade was only 1INT if not mistaken)

To me it seems the Body and the legs seem to give the best returns, and should be got first?

for mythology jewelries, get bracer and neckpiece, this avoids spellspeed as much as possible, or you could just get the helm. after that, depending on the allagan loot you're getting and much depending on accuracy, you could get gloves.

EDIT: oh you don't have the body? I'd get that if you can, really good crit and determination. (relic +1 is a bigger upgrade btw, but it's not best in slot)

havent started Coil yet, still not found a group smart enough to keep out of plumes... Im like a ninja now (except when i fall asleep mid-battle at 2am lol). Yet people come in, FULL af, GC weapon -_-;;; Will get win eventually, (hoping this weekend with FC event). But yeah was just looking at ways to improve my self to help int he fight that bit more. Yeah i thought the body would be the logical first purchase. The head has a nice chunk of crit also at 21 which is also nice.

So
Body
Head
Jewellry
Gloves

Legs not worth it? Stats are on par with body barring the lack of crit.

legs are really good, it's just that it's worth 825 for something that is not best in slot.

not all jewelry, prioritize neck and bracer if you are planning to buy jewelries, it has no spellspeed. no spellpeed = good since better stats are allocated in it.

hey Glim, yeah that was my thinking on the legs also. DL should keep me tied up for now. So ill priorise the following for now:

Body
Head
Neck
Bracer
Gloves
Legs

In that order. Body still seems the logical first choice upgrade with the huge crit bonus

if you don't see your self clearing turn 5 any time soon, I suggest getting relic + 1 first, it is by far the best upgrade you could get once you get your veil of wiyu.

[KaosPrimeZero]

but the stats are:

NQ/HQ

Auto-Attack: 45.76 - 47.84 (+2.08)
DPS: 14.10 - 14.74 (+0.64)
Delay: 3.12 - 3.12 (+0)

Vitality +27 - +32 (+5)
Intelligence +27 - +31 (+4)
Determination +16 - +18 (+2)
Spell Speed +33 - +37 (+4)


Compared to Body:

NQ/HQ

Vitality +14 - +29 (+15)
Intelligence +14 - +29 (+15)
Critical Hit Rate +23 - +34 (+11)
Determination +11 - +17 (+6)

Body is giving me over treble the INT which is my main dmg stat. I am not saying what you are saying is wrong, im just trying to understand why the Relic+1 would be better than the body which not only more than triples my INT gain but triples my VIT for survivability, and also increases my crit a fair chunk to add further to my dmg boost. The more i understand the better a player ill become ^^

Thanks for taking the time to help me out

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the +3 Magic Damage on the Veil+1 alone is worth more than the entirety of the increase in INT on the AF2 body.

Oh really?

I been looking around for formulas and stuff (use to be a formula nut in FFXI) but was unable to find much. Like how much crit to increase a %tage etc. Stats to help me fine tune as it were xD Happen to have any links for this?
