What are you spending your Poetics on first?

I won't be able to see it until I go back from work, but in my case, maybe the ring if it's good, since I don't have the Noct and the Weathered Noct but the Noct and the ilvl90. I usually start replacing the lowest ilvl items. I planned to get the weathered ring but now I might skip it. Since I have other classes, I bought first the coats and used sands for WHM and BLM ASAP, and the PLD second ring had to wait, coats that would be upgraded with sands looked like a better place to spend soldiery tomes than a second ring.

The coat usually is the one who has best stats, but needs 2 weeks to obtain, if you get a cheaper item you can start profiting from it earlier. Only someone that needs better gear to fulfill the ilvl requirement would really be interested, if not it's not that important really, so the coat might be a better first buy even if you have to wait a bit more to use it.

Yes, leg/pants have more total stats, but I think all the other pieces (belt/head/gloves/boots) give you more stats over your ilvl 110 gear per SLD spent. For instance, I think the body provides an extra +6/+6 str/vit over i110, but belt+gloves (about the same price) provide +6/+7 str/vit.
