So would it be a huge mistake to skip the +1 and aim for Coil bow?

Considering Square has confirmed twintania can be killed and twisters are not bugged, the fact that not a single group has killed him yet 2 months after launch means the chance your group will see a kill is slim to none before they release a video. Banking on Twin weapons is a bad idea all around especially if wep is a worthwhile upgrade over pieces you still lack(no it is not the best upgrade before getting chest/legs or even several other pieces if they are still AK).

Ah, I see. Well might just +1 it then.

[Thorauku]

So which is which? +1 Relic or get the leggings parts first for more crit? O_O

[NeonC]

I had garbage accessories so I got the hero ring and wrist before +1. Also because I was uncertain at the time of what was obtainable through Coil :/

I'd say get the bow, you'll get more out of it as you get more gear. and of course, it glows

I use this as a reference for BiS.

I can't remember who the creator was when I bookmarked it; but kudos to him.

One thing to mention about the boots is that technically the faction bought boots can be better than the darklight boots. As long as you have enough accuracy, they are at least. Just buy the sanction with them.

You could also try for a max meld HQ Gryphonskin ring. In comparison to Allagan you would lose 4 DEX and 4 ACc but gain 12 Crit and 8 Det.

4 dex = 12 crit + 8 det.
So no HQ Gryphonskin ring is not BiS compared to Allagan.

Until Crystal Tower which should provide more option, only allagan boots, neck, ring are BiS.
AF2 is superior in every way.

Relic+1 vs Allagan weapon :
Relic give higher accuracy. Allagan has an higher dps on auto-attack and lower delay for auto-attack.
However they both have an auto attack below 3.3 so Allagan would actually be a dps loss during Barrage.

can someone please confirm that toxotes legs and hands are better than DL or no, stop playing around lol

Nothing wrong with crafting those 2 star HQ gears. In my case especially it's not a waste since I'm taking forever to max lvl my dragoon so I'm using my own Philo stones to craft my gear instead meaning I don't spend gil for it. If I haven't crafted the gear that I have right now I would've wasted those Philo tomes that I can't gain because of the 2k max.

Better gear means easier time in Coil which btw isn't exactly Ifrit/Garuda HM weapon farm. Waste of time coz they'll be replaced in 2 months? Are you sure your gears will be dropping every single Crystal Tower you do when it comes out? Are you sure you'll be able to find 23 other competent people for it? It takes weeks to get the non Free handout AF gears.

Crafted gears are exceptionally good because you can put all the missing stats in the DL pieces in them.

Anyway here's a lodestone blog on that Spreadsheet for the BiS. http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...8/blog/306216/
