    I am still working Relic as my FC is pretty casual, but I will have 1008 Mytho by the end of this week - I will be going AF2 chest first, getting my DL Flanchard, then my next 300 mytho will go to HS+1, then I am going to play it by ear from there.

    From what I can tell AF2 BP is better than the coil BP, while some of the other stuff is worse or interchangeable with coil gear. I am very interested in what others have to say though, as I almost made this exact thread a few days ago : D

    Not at my computer atm, but Valor Legs + Hoplite Boots should beat DL in defense as well. I believe by 2.

    I got the Relics first, but if I could do it again, I would get Valor Body first. The Relic+1 isn't going to make that big of a difference, and the jump from Darklight to Valor/Allagan is much more significant. An optimal rotation will let you keep threat better than just relying on Curtana+1's damage boost.

    By "BP" I assume you mean Body piece. In that case, they're pretty much equal. Valor gives Determination while Allagan gives Accuracy. As long as you're over 472 Accuracy, you won't be missing anything. Right now I have Allagan Body and I wish I had Valor instead because I have over 500 Accuracy which isn't doing anything for me.

    Edit: The only reason why I +1'd my Relics first is because they're cheaper and I got them sooner, and I held out for Allagan gear. You can do the same but honestly Curtana +1 isn't nessecary at all. HS+1 is very nice to have though.
