Calculated optimal Myth spending for BRDs

[Gabbelgak]

Myth hat is better

Coil hat is a turn 2 drop which most guilds can get on farm status rather easily making the hat a rather non-optimal early purchase in my opinion.

Silly to make the allagan hat go to alts for a 6 crit increase when myth tomes are so limited.

Yeah it almost makes sense to get Allagan over Myth. All these numbers are built around having ilvl70 mixed in till you get full 90.
They are gonna change when CT comes out. But still be the same if you gear out in full ilvl90

I didn't say it should be an early purchase. I said the myth hat was better than the Allagan visor.

Even considering it's a Turn2 drop and you have Turn2 on farm, there are 17 possible items from the chest in turn2.
You get 2 chest drops per week, but data so far seems to point to each chest having it's own set of items and I think it's been pretty much confirmed that you can never get a double drop.
So that's a 1 in 9 chance to get the hat each week.

So on average you'll have picked up over 2700 mythology by the time you see the allagan hat.
Not exactly odds I'd base my gear path around.

You're correct that you definitely wouldn't want to buy it first. But there are better pieces to start with anyway.
If you've already picked up a few of the the larger pieces and haven't seen the hat yet, I wouldn't continue to put it off.

*edited to correct chance of seeing hat drop*

Casters share drops, healers share drops and tanks share drops. Not 28 items

Until it is shown otherwise, the so far confirmed drop list is 17/17/18/18 from the 4 turns that drop loot. Each chest also seems to have 8-9 drops that only it can have, that may be off some since some people consider each chest as a different location so the basis of left/right is off a little.
