What order is best acquiring onion gear to replace DL ?

The biggest main stat increases always come in the form of chest & legs, so if it comes at the same price (1 item per week), you may as well get those. Lots of the gear gives fantastic stats, though. I still use my onion belt when I don't need the accuracy from my ilvl90 one, and I'm going to start doing the same with onion boots. Both belt & feet have CRT & DET, they're awesome.

I guess if you were starting from scratch, I'd say Legs > Chest > Belt/Feet > Hands.

If you're using Myth on your DRG, though, you prolly wanna skip Onion chest altogether and get your Myth one.

I'd also say it depends on Myth too. If you intend to buy Myth gear, Myth Chest is priority, then feet, then helm, then gauntlets, then Belt and Legs. So I would get Onion legs first, then belt, then gauntlets, then helm, then feet, and finally body (opposite of Myth buying really, to lessen overlap)...but that does assume you are buying Myth gear and running Coil for DRG.

If you're just CT gearing DRG (no Myth or Coil), then yeah, chest/legs, then head/gloves/feet, then belt.

EDIT: also, buying Myth armor assumes you already +1'd your Spear...that is #1 no questions...

Yeah, modified my post to include myth. The moral of the story is that it depends on where ALL your gear is coming from that decides what order you should get crap in.

Just got zenith this morning. I am scared to get over lapped with wrym and onion or allagan. I have all DL on except onion waist from last week. I have no experience with turn 1 at all. Item lvl is 73 now. I need someone to draw me a map lol, I am on vacation this week only and want to maximize my time home. I am already capped in philos and only have 76 myths today but currently at 250/450 this week! What piece should I look for in CT and also this turn 1 trial? Am I good enough to farm turn 1 for drops? Please help

What I suggested is really a good way to go

Save up for Myth chest over the next two weeks, get the legs and gauntlets out of CT. Now, if you start doing Coil and clear T1 and T2, you may get the Legs, Belt and/or Gauntlets; don't worry, just replace the Onion gear if you do. No big loss.

Next Myth is the Feet the next week; get the Helm out of CT that week. At this point, you should have Myth and CT gear in all your left-side spots, maybe some Allagan.
Next Myth to buy is the helm; yes, you are starting to replace CT stuff now, and don't need any more DRG drops from there (you can skip the CT helm if you want too)

If you don't have any of the three Allagan from T1 (except legs, just do not buy the Myth legs), buy the Belt or Gauntlets next, then the next week the other. Again, don't buy the legs unless you really want them; the Allagan is just better. The Myth belt is a good one to get anyway, but if you get the Allagan you can put off buying it til later.


EDIT: as for Coil, just join Coil learning groups and start learning. Its OK if you fail, just make sure to be there to learn. Eventually you will get it.

Thanks so much for this suggestion(pg 150 #1493). As of today I am already capped with 351 myths after buying myth chest Monday. I got the onion helm in ct yesterday. Between this week and last week in t1 and t2, only drop I got was choker. Right now I got gae zenith, onion helm, myth chest, onion hands, waist and legs and only DL left is feet(ilvl79) going into next week. Just kind of bored now piling up philos for nothing and I cant stand crafting.
