Coil (in general)

[Kimura410]

I dont understand why people dont do coil. Its the best loot and the most challenging content in the game. Sure some myth is BIS over allagan gear, but still, its lvl 90 gear that you dont have to spend myth on. If it wasnt for coil, I probably would have quit the game a while ago. What do you do with all your 90 gear other than stand in revenants toll or do primals/dungeons that are easily beatable without great gear. Where is the challenge?

Not to mention, the main story is tied to coil as well, so theres that. I guess a better question would be what is the point of doing coil pre 2.2? And the answer for me, is to be entertained with difficult content, while acquiring the best gear possible through mix and match allagan/myth, getting the BIS weapons (T5), and being ready to tackle Turn 6-9 right away when 2.2 is released. Doing coil pre patch imo is to satisfy hardcore or semi hardcore players and their groups.

Well there are a few reasons, some find it intimidating, can't find groups, aren't in an FC, have little interest in dungeon content (I don't understand why but some people just aren't into it), some people who do coil take it way too seriously and that can turn people off And on the other side some people just don't care enough to learn and just don't want challenges.

I'll give you my answer: due to my peculiar job timetable (back home always late in the evening), I cannot join most of my FC runs. I could join coil through Party finder, of course,.... But what would you do if you had very little or no experience, and in all Party finder groups you'd read: "Only experienced players , fail = kick"??

I understand your situation completely. The OP seems to be questioning why to do it at all? I guess I took the question from a person's standpoint that they have the time, the fc, or know people to pug with, but are asking what is the point if you can get myth through roulette. My answer is that most people dont do coil for myth, its just a bonus.
