Summoner Question: Where should I spend my Myth tomes first?

[SolarMisae]

Okay so..

What I'm getting is that since I have my Vanya chest, my AF+1 helm might be a good route to go?

If you already have relic +1, yeah. AF+1 helm is probably your biggest upgrade at the moment(over demagogue). Depending on your rings, that is what you should get after. From there fill in what you don't get from coil, and if you're not doing coil then I'd do Accessories(if over DL)->gloves->Chest Piece->Accessories(if over crafted), and hopefully you're doing coil by then because spending tomes on the legs/boots/belt/earrings is a waste.

Yeah, +1 was the first thing I got. ^^ As far as my rings, I do still have a demagogue ring in one slot. That was the other thing i was considering replacing other than my helm. So helm, then rings.

I don't necessarily agree that some of those pieces are a waste. If you can't be arsed to have an accuracy set purely for summoning, which you then switch out of, some of those pieces are flat-out necessary to be truly accuracy capped while wearing a full ilevel 90 set due to the way the job works. Although having an summoning set seems like the ideal solution, you have to be content that it will only be a net gain if nothing goes wrong (you die, pet dies, whatever), and you have to resummon.

The pants are an ideal place to pick up accuracy as all of its secondary stats are spent on determination and accuracy. Although losing the crit from allagan hurts, in my opinion a reasonable case can be made for AF+1 pants as the best alternative piece of gear to use for an accuracy boost. The belt, while much less attractive because it is partially itemized for spell speed (slightly moreso than the allagan belt), is still the next best place to pick up accuracy if you want to move Garuda closer to the accuracy cap (and hopefully reach it as well). The boots are very difficult to make a case for because you'd have to be willing to trade 21 crit for 5 accuracy (belt trades 16 crit for 11 accuracy; a much better ratio). From a purely speculative standpoint, it wouldn't be unreasonable to think turn 6+ will have higher accuracy requirements when they are introduced as well.

There really isn't much reason to pick up the earring, though.

They're not. Those pieces are designed to work as a whole. If you scroll back some pages, you'll see I outlined AF2 stats altogether. You get 91 Acc for wearing AF2 compared to 59 on DL. Just wear the damn set as it's better and stop doing this individual piece BS. It's certainly not getting Kevee anywhere now that she's talking about switching equipment sets just to summon pets LOL!
