Thread: 2.1 Gear Progression?

WP and AK are pretty much similar now, WP hasn't changed, but AK got nerfed to similar difficulty (maybe SLIGHTLY higher) and both award the same tomes now 100/30.

I'd run AK and WP, and do your Daily Roulettes first.
This will get you i55/i60 gear, plus plenty of Tomes for Darklight gear and some i90.

Once you have a few pieces of Darklight, go for HM Ifrit -> HM Garuda.
Then Moggle/Crystal Tower/HM Titan/HM Ultima once you have a Primal Weapon.
Then Coil and the EM Primals (though at the very minimum I'd wait until you have your Relic and Full/Nearly Full Darklight).

Coil Turns 1 and 2 are pretty straightforward and a decent gear check, if you can do HM Titan you can do them (gearwise) with no problems. Turn 4 is a bit of a harder gear check. Turn 5 is even harder.
All IMHO, naturally!

Thanks for the advice so far.

Unless they changed the drop rates substantially, if you're spamming WP or AK for tomes, you'll end up with plenty of Vermilion and Hoplite gear.
I still keep the Hoplite Head/Body and Legs/Feet, simply because going from Darklight (2-piece) to i90 (2x 1-pieces) for Tanks is awkward without it.

In terms of dungeon progression though, since the Dailies reward extra tomes now you may find yourself grabbing Darklight "too fast" to worry about it.

RE endgame gear progression, once you start looking at Coil you need to be careful of the Accuracy caps (~482 for Tanks for T5). Don't just equip gear because it's a higher ilevel!
