Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[PArcher]

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.

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.

Glad to help.

I suggest getting the Myth Feet next; since you have the Onion Belt, as long as you meet the accuracy cap when you do Coil you don't need to upgrade it (the Onion belt is BiS for non-accuracy fights) so look out for the Allagan belt right now. After the feet I'd say buy the Helm and keep running T1 and T2 for the legs and hands (and belt). Then buy the Myth Bracelets, then Belt (unless you get Allagan, which then put it off more), then Ring (One Allagan is T1 and the other is T4, and the Garuda Ring is Crit/Acc. Get the Garuda Ring if you need accuracy for Coil). After that...if you still don't have the hands buy them (I have yet to see them) and honestly, you should be done with Myth now. Don't buy the Earrings (both Allagan are T1/2 and are better than Myth, and the BiS is Titan's) or Pants (unless you really want them for non-acc content).

Why is Black Truffle Risotto such garbage?? I know none of us have the ability with the current gear out to take full advantage of it, BUT even if we did this is what we get:

Black Truffle Risotto HQ
Vitality, +3% max 19
Critical Hit +2% max 11
Determination +4% max 17

We would need 550 Critical hit and 425 Determination to make full use of this, clearly outside of our capability atm since max determination without food is 372 at the moment. Compare this to Buttons in a blanket.

Buttons in a Blanket HQ
Vitality, +4% max 15
Critical Hit +2% max 10
Determination +5% Max 16

Where we need 500 Critical Hit and 320 Determination to reach its full potential. Now you might be thinking whats my point?

My point is this, i'm going from an easy lvl 47 recipe with mats readily available to a pain in the you know 2 star to require an additional 50 crit and a 105 determination to get 1 point of crit and determination EXTRA from food.


/facepalm LOL SE

[EDIT] /calmly wishes for Determination/VIT only food

PArcher...Thanks again for suggestion. I followed the map (pg 169) exactly. I am now capped with 411 myths. I got lucky in last coil run getting allagan hands and legs to go with allagan neck and wrist. With relic+1, myth helm, chest, belt, feet and ring of slaying. Only dark light left is earrings and ring of striking. Acc is 504. That enough? What is next equip wise?
