BRD 2.4 gear progression approach

[Ooshima]

Yeah Relic seems to me like a temporary or glam piece now, lol.

Yoichi Bow is a glam piece? Nah, Yoichi over I130 magitek anyday.

Agreed I think I'm gonna dust off the atma and just get on with it. I can't even take into account the stat weight of sksp on ironworks, I just hate it xc + the fact that yoichi will go 135 and...will be same as dreadwyrm....if my static clears fcob ik rengesus will throw us every weap but bow :3

Kirimu Tricrone (melds: ACC+9+9+6, Crit+6, SS+6)

I find this interesting....might get one and meld it with acc 9/6/6/6 and 6 crit. Should be a pretty solid upgrade over my ironworks hat. Is it better than upgraded ironworks hat though?

But it will end up being obsolete in future updates anyhow, Relics never remain bis and heck for some classes they are not

At some point they'll be the same ilvl as dreadwyrm if it follows the same pattern as novus->nexus, and so it's better for people who's dreadwyrm weapon doesn't have the best stats. Also considering how few people have t13 down and not all magitek weapons have good stats at all (looking at smn and the 51 skill speed bards get) the relic is a lot better. And there's rng, if I remember right Ooshima had terrible t9 luck with the bow, I know people with server 3rd who never saw a sch book, and there again relic is great.

Every single thing becomes obsolete in future. If you are going to keep caring about the future, might as well forget it. It is as good as for example, your PC is on the 4th gen intel chip and you are eyeing the 5th gen chip but not enough $, by the time you have the $ they announced the 6th gen chip and you want to wait it out. It is endless. What is important is NOW. Having it means you have more open options.

RNG for me:

BCoB:
Only 1 loot per month (I think I only have 4 pieces minus the bow)
Allagan Composite Bow received 3 days before Patch 2.2

SCoB:
Received belt on week 1 and then not seeing loots until at least 1.5months later
10 weeks of T8 before seeing one piece of loot and another 2-3 weeks later of T8 before getting the pants (it was double drop with the choker.the ONLY time ever I got a double drop but I think because of this, I used up all my luck and never got anything from T9 within its validity period lol).
Still NO High Allagan Composite Bow to date
The chest piece only dropped for me like after some 10+ of T9 farms in 2.4 lol.

FCoB:
So-So luck, haven't been receiving loots until recently (3 pieces in this week + last week), total of 5 pieces only...
