MNK Mytho pieces to get?

[KaosPrimeZero]

I know generally the BiS for MNK is Allagan due to it eing crit based rather than Skill Speed based. However, that is generally Turn 4-5. Now my question is which gear is best utilized to get to get me to Allagan? I have Weapon +1 already and Full DL with Allagan Ring.

Some say Head piece i sthe next best for Mytho but im convinced body will give better? What you guys think? Head and body? or head and feet combo or body? Basically asking for an order to get stuff in

Thanks!

There you go, a BiS solver for monk. There you will be able to find what myth/allagan pieces you'll need.

Thanks ill take my question over there as that didnt really answer my Question. What i was asking was i need better gear to get me to Allagan in Turn 4-5. So was looking to upgrade certain pieces to help me increase my DPS. Thanks for the link though

Well, Monk body piece is their only drop in Turn 5, so myth body is definitely a worthwhile investment to help you get up to and through Turn 5. The head piece is considered better than the Allagan visor though, and boots are identical between myth and Allagan. Both head and feet drop in Turn 4 too. So I consider those 3 the best investments.

Thanks! That's the exact type of information i was looking for! Ill have 900 next week so ill get Body > Head > Feet in that order.

I am going body > head > waiting.

Most BiS setups are all allagan with myth head and legs. Legs come from turn 1 so there is a good chance of getting them quickly so feet/hands may be worth getting first depending on your groups progress through coil. Patch is soon and will make the entire process less of a pain.

Body is not that great but because Allagan is turn 5 that is why I went with that first. It is the least likely piece for me to replace.

Pants is what I went for. Boots are a safe bet because they are stat for stat the same as the coil ones.
Like other have said the chest is a good pick seeing how you don't get it till t5.

Do not buy myth boots. Such a waste of myth. And if you are dead set on buying them, but them absolutely last. Weapon +1> Chest > Gloves > Belt > Ring > Bracelet is what I did. Many people use the stack crit build. I do not care for it too much. To each his own though.

why would you get myth body over HQ gryphonskin?

Because it beats it out by raw Strength. Even if you could get slightly higher secondary stats with the HQ melded gryphon skin, it won't be enough to accommodate for the raw strength increase that a myth piece has over it.
However, it would be stronger than philosophy pieces.
