Preparing for Coil

[Ulathskullsplitter]

As most have said, full DL and relic to get started. Or if you are patient or maybe dont want to farm the tomes for full DL you can wait 3 weeks for 2.1 and get crystal tower ilvl80 gear and be more than ready for coil then. Which is how it was meant to be anyways.

Pretty much this. CT gear + increased cap on myth tomes will trivialize turns 1-4 pretty quick if you're at all worried about it. If you have a static, get your darklight and just take a few stabs at it for fun. This game doesnt have a death penalty so nothing wrong with just giving it a few tries!

Post 2.1:

Run Crystal Tower and farm ilvl70 gear. After you have 4-5 pieces, go buy DL with tomestones to fill in the remaining slots.

Then, you COULD work on getting get your relic.. -OR- Try just farming Moogle weapon (the fight was hella fun in 1.0) It'll likely be far easier than Titan, and the weapons will be the same ilvl as relics.


The best part? By doing this all in 2.1, you'll rapidly reach the same point that hardcores have worked day-and-night over the last 3 months to get to. And you will have only spent ~20% of the effort (or gil) to get there.


So you can just /laugh when you read silly stuff like:

If your only at the point where your not even half mythology gear i90 . Just uninstall now. Your to behind the curve and no serious group will take you.

This is what some people really believe.

Yeah, 'some people' like Director Yoshi-P.

GW: Top being higher is easy to understand, but what do you mean by “the bottom of the slope will get easier”?

Yoshida: The top of the Binding Coil of Bahamut will not change in 2.1, this will not change until patch 2.2. In patch 2.1 we’re going to have 3 dungeons, 2 hard mode, and one high difficulty dungeon, so the amount of tokens will be more than what it is now. Therefore, it will be easier easier to increase your item level. Also you will be able to obtain more of the one rank lower token output will increase, so you can gain item levels at more ease. So it will be easier to reach the top. But in patch 2.2 the top (end-game) will get higher, so top players will go even further top. And then the contents will spread (imagine a mountain with pointed top [end-content] and wider bottom [contents getting eased over time]). This cycle will start from patch 2.1.

Every time a new iLvl of gear is released, the rest of the content becomes easier to get through.

So those relentless grinding runs to get the latest gear? Well, I hope you really enjoyed them. Because after the next patch, newbs will have that gear handed to them like candy.

Ad infinitum...


Enjoy the treadmill~

You need full Allagan for turn 1, then you need to slather it in chocobo feces for turn 2, hop your way through turn 3 where it auto +1's everything and boogie your way past turn 4 to gain D&D +5 Mace of Disruption.

Remember how it works 2+ weeks after release? "LFM Garuda, must have Garuda weapon."

Or you could run WP/AK to farm Myths and Philos. Full Darklight and Relic +1 is your starter setup.

Its really easy to prep for coil. If your only at the point where your not even half mythology gear i90 . Just uninstall now. Your to behind the curve and no serious group will take you. You will need to lie your way in.

or someone from the dl category of players could take the initiative and form a group themselves and work the content out like the rest of us have, df cant do everything for you. I think you will be surprised how much people you could pull in, you may even get experienced lvl90 players, since maybe they are after a more chill run. Who knows you may even do better then those experienced players who might just fight and end up disbanding.

Its a bit like in the real world, theres people who would work for free just to get experience, so even 1 hour of practice could land you that ticket to the ideal group.

Ignore keyblade he is going into every coil thread to say that and it's pretty obvious trolling at this point.

Either that or he gets his feelings hurt by people in video games so badly he is on a long vengeance streak, maybe there's a bit of honesty in every troll.

Keyblade reminds me of that guy in wow who is asking for 5700 gs to get in his icc25 raid (aka asking to be carried by people who already downed most of the instance).

For real though you don't need ilv90 for turn 1-3, you sort of do for 4-5. Especially 5, you get nuked for like 3800 lol.

I would just play the game at a pace that you feel comfortable with. Don't burn yourself out on end-game. I would HIGHLY suggest finding a friendly FC to run with, since having a dependable group of people makes a world of difference. With CT coming out with ilevel 80 gear, grinding for heroic gear is kind of trivial at this point, just get DL, Relic, and maybe a few heroic accessories and you will be more than good to go. Any groups that say it isn't enough for Turn 1 are either under-skilled or a bunch of try hards.
