I even got my first drop from coil today.. an earring (ilv 90).. and its a tough choice compared to my ilv 70 rose gold earring.. Lose 150hp for 4 strength?

Crystal tower will likely however render it useless.
I don't think CT will make it useless. Materia just makes certain items especially jewelry best in slot at the moment for everyone besides tank end gear raiding. If anything it may destroy vanya/darksteel but I don't think accessories will be out-done until they input the new ilvl80 jewelry.

You can cook food. That is what crafting is used for.
