So long Dark Light!

I did a stat comparison of full Allagan and Full AF2, it's only like 4 points of Acc difference and 1 point of parry difference. If you think that's going to make or break your character then go with Allagan, otherwise go with what you want. AF2 also has 30 points of Crit which Allagan does not have so it's a wash either way.

Allagan and AF2 are sidegrades. Wear whichever one you need, personally I like the looks of the AF2 and I know I can get them with simple grinding and not having to rely on a rng drop rate.

The secret is to mix both sets anyway.

Tank DL chest/head is just horrible. SE really needs to focus more on how gear looks. It's not rewarding when you level up, wear chest/head pieces because they're good, then hit 50 and there it is again: different colors, same sh*t. In fact, no (close to) endgame gear has to look anything like leveling gear.

I have good hopes they'll 'fix' this though. It just looks really bottom priority atm. Tanks sharing the same gear, horrible. AF2 (tanks) looks nice, but would rather see something different cosmetic-wise compared to AF1 (other than the colors being changed).

Why is everyone calling AF+1 AF2? I mean hey, the AF2 that was shown is sexy... But how do y'all have it already?

On a serious note, just go with what pleases you looks wise. It is why I am avoiding the tin can as much as possible.

It stems from XI. The relic gear (which would be Mythology gear here, or AF+1 as some call it) was always referred to as AF2 for short hand. Then there was also AF+1 and AF2+1, which were upgraded forms of their predecessors.

No, the point is people are calling AF+1 AF2; Not that I don't know that. AF, artifact. It's just silly that people are calling AF+1 AF2, when in reality Yoshi-P only showed AF2 not too long ago...

Accuracy isn't terribly hard to come by anyways, since 3/4 of the allegan accessories have Acc, as well as the shield. I'm currently actually over cap at 493, because I'm currently using the Allegan Shield. The shield dropped the week I was planning on +1ing my shield, so I can't just use my holy shield anymore.

I agree, its why im not buying myth chest for 900 myth, such a waste when chest from first boss.

It amazes me people prefer look over time / efficiency.

Im still torn between curtana + 1 or getting gloves.... many ppl say +1, others say +1 for a PLD isnt that useful.

Its because for warriors AF+1 is actually BiS over the Allagan Chest Armor; maybe not the same for Paladins, but at least you also know an ulterior explanation for other classes.

Darklight armour is the best looking armour in the game... or at least it would be if you could hide the helm.
