What ilevel is recommended for turn 5?

[Alhanelem]

I would say a minimum of i80.

[Xavos]

I've waited all the way to ilvl 88 and about to attempt for the first time tomorrow.

Actually, turn 5 wasn't downed until 2 months after release and the whole group were il85+

and it was a legacy group who pretty much had 8 weeks of allagan drops + myth.

This is correct and I agree. BG were i85+ when they first beat T5. All these other posters are either bunch of trolls or speaking out of their asses like they know it. Either have a party full of i80+ or you'll be facing your desk countless of time.

[Nosiahk]

This is funny. People beat Coil a month after release. When people only had 1 or 2 myth pieces. Coil is entirely possible in darklight. average item level 70-75.

Coil T1 - T4 is possible with just ilvl 70 - 75. People did not beat coil after a month of release. You should've said people beat "T1 - T4." To legitimately beat coil you also have to clear T5 for your information. Rochetm was speaking of T5. Your reply is irrelevant to what you quoted.

i135

or try with a i150 gear for survive some attacks

[Calyanare]

BG were i85+ when they first beat T5.

According to their own post at the time, most of them were around i80.

[NeonC]

Im i90, but have to sink down to i85 and attempted it for the first time feeling somewhat comfortable with my gear/health/dps now.

instead of looking at iLVLs, you should consider the following

Melee Accuracy: 480+
Caster Accuracy: 430+
HP requirement: 4k+ on non-tank classes to soak fireballs (if you are 3 stacking, otherwise it can be lower with 4 stacking)
DPS output: Able to burst down non-fireballed conflags, 4 conflags before 2nd necklace break, able to clear snakes before twintania comes back down, does not require caster LB3 to kill snakes, 4 dreadknight rotations before 3rd necklace break.
Tanks: 6k+ HP is reasonable as long as you have proper mitigation skills for each death sentence, combined with timely stoneskins/adloquims

The rest is up to player's individual skill at dodging stuff and team coordination. If you can get all these down then you have a good shot at clearing T5.

[Rochetm]

Also like to point out those first t5 wins where done before RoD/Virus nerf. There is also the LB nerf which is pretty nasty if your strat relies on LBs.

Our static's first Turn 5 kill had our average ilvl at around 82-85. As long as you have at least around ~4K HP as a healer/DPS, you should be fine.

This is funny. People beat Coil a month after release. When people only had 1 or 2 myth pieces. Coil is entirely possible in darklight. average item level 70-75.

This is also funny for a couple of reasons:

1) It took BG ~2 months after release to down Turn 5, not to mention their average ilvl at the time was around the low-mid 80s.
2) With ilvl 70-75 for DPS, have fun hitting that enrage timer or consistently dying to fast conflags.

Also, don't spout nonsense about the "entirety" of Coil being possible in Darklight especially when you personally haven't not downed Turn 5 yet.
