Haha I did I did! I'm very excited. Next up hands!

I just got hands myself! Kinda depressing though, i'll be 6 points short of ring next week, then its 3 weeks to pants after that. Is.. discouraging. The only 6-8 pieces of loot for the raid per week is so frustrating. No possibility for vertical growth after monday night every week :/

Looking pretty good! Yeah the mythos cap is discouraging. I wish it was 1k. If i wanted to spend human time for gear I would play Eve. Saying "I get pants in 3 real life weeks" just sounds not fun.

Yeah... just broke down and worked it out... no ring till 11/4; pants 11/25; finally boots (which hopefully I won't have to buy cus the loot gods will grace me) 12/8.

I could be okay with the 300 cap (1k does seem... high, maybe 500 would be much more manageable, can get anything but +1/body/legs in a week) if cealring turn 5 reset coils so having the group capeable of clearign turn 5 would reward you with increased access to loot.

That said, I'm pretty lucky, i get all acessories first time they drop and my partner gets all armor, and for my build I only need the boots... but several weeks in and we haven't seen a single fending drop in turn 1 haha!

Typo on the Helm slot?
Thought allagen was from Turn 4.

Thanks a lot for this guide, its been very helpful. Im about to begin running stone vigil, do I need any specific amount of accuracy for this one?

Not that I recall of any. I was running it in Brayflox gear, and Qarn weapon, and did just fine.

My group is in a similar situation. Off-tank and I made the same agreement, I would take accessories and he would take armor on 1st drop. We are unfortunately playing Binding Coil of Dragoon Gear, and getting crap loot tables. I somehow managed to get 3 accessories, but those are the only tank items we have seen drop.

Yes, this myth cap is disparaging.
I'm in an FC that only now thinks its Coil ready, and have had 2 failed Turn 1 attempts, not even getting into the instance.
Timing, scheduling, availability issues.
Then 2nd attempt with people that pugged turn 1 and didnt know they couldnt redo it.
At this rate, Allagan gear is out of the question.
So it comes into WP/AK grinds for a few hours a week, and a piece of gear every 2-3 weeks.
Not reupping and just reactivated my xbox live to try gta5 in the meantime.
Such a shame, I was really loving the game till the end.

No. It is turn 5.

To me 1k would allow for an item a week and put the focus on progression rather than farming. The way it is set up for some people you are spending more time in AK than BC which is very backwards.
