If you are not going coil and are not looking for specific drops just get them in whatever order you want. +1'ing the shield gives what 13-14 more block and rate? and like 2vit. Chest/hop and Legs/hop will give you 2def, 8vit, 2-4 parry. I wont be upgrading my shield until my armor slots are done (sword will be last). I have basically the same goals for pld as you but I plan on getting the Crown of Light and the Breeches of light from Labyrinth to save the most myth while still getting the major myth pcs when I want them. If its straight stats you want go Chest or Legs first. If you really just want a full set of myth just take your gallant gear and put them on in whatever order you like the most and then buy in that order lol.

Well if you aren't concerned with accuracy caps (tanking coil) then just go with fill ins. While the myth ring is a good upgrade I'd suggest, you can fill that i60 ring spot with EX Garuda's instead, and spend myth on body pieces and use your DL i70 ring in the second slot. Then you can go with Valor head, farm up CT legs and go with Valor feet. Then probably grab Valor gloves (or CT ones) and fill in wherever you feel like. This isn't a min/max method, but if you aren't Coil running on it, it'll get you high ilvl and Valor pretty quick.

On a normal progression PLD starting out for min/max I'd say Myth Ring (grab EX Garuda's as well) > Valor body > CT head > Valor legs > CT feet > Valor Gloves > CT Belt, then back track and fill what you feel best. This is a good method to keep you at/near accuracy cap, get higher ilvl & VIT quickly, and leave some flexibility for Coil drops considering BiS. You can fill a neck spot i80 from HM Ultima of course, or grab that i80 HM Ultima ring as well if you don't feel confident enough to tank Garuda EX.
