WAR gear and what to wear for T5?

[Kuwagami]

What does this mean: "=> first of all : DL ring should change to Weathered Noct ring" I should keep the Noct ring?

I just checked your lodestone profile. You have a darklight ring that you should change for a Weathered Noct Ring as soon as possible (if already done, ignore this)

In the link this makes no sense to me:

Head - Allagan Helm - Turn 5: +15 acc

Why would they recommend using something for the head that I can only get by killing in that fight? Obviously this slot suggestion is worthless before I'm actually high geared enough to kill Twintania.

The link provides old BiS gear. Having T5's head allowed to get better equipments on other slots and it was mostly a min/maxing situation if you could farm T5. Think of it as the "best piece to get in order to continue to farm". Not something required to down T5.

Also is Coil gear restricted to only one drop/ week?

Not since patch 2.2. T1-T5 are free to farm like regular dungeons

The link slot suggestions are almost all coil drops which would mean even a lucky player would need a bare minimum of 6 weeks of preparation for coil!

The link provides old BiS which becomes irrelevant the day you include i100 gear in your slots. Only the accuracy caps are relevant, and it's up to you to determine what YOU want to get in order to improve your ilevel while staying over the cap.

Also thank you so much for those tips! I'm sorry I had no idea I needed to have that good gear to even enter the previous coil phases! A rookie mistake my apologies!

Haha no problem. The accuracy problem was irrelevant before 2.2 because the darklight stuff gave a shitload of accuracy. Now that it's nearly gone (unless heavy luck in dungeons), things are a bit messed up for "new" players in coil.



All in all, the upgrades I gave to you would take a minimum of time to get (unless bad luck on coil drops) and is aimed for a 1-2 weeks duration. If you intend to take more time, check if you can get upgrades of the proposed gear in i100 slots.

One thing not mentioned is getting a tome from Syrcus Tower and upgrading your weapon to the Weathered Conquerer. It is item level 100 and has 40 accuracy. You need 1300 soldiery to purchase it.

I didn't mention it because my way can be done in under 2 weeks. It's not necessarily the best but it allows quick progress
