    soldier tomes

    was wondering where the best place to farm the above mentioned tomes is please?

    is it advisable to skip myth set n focus on the weathered gear stuff instead? kinda didn't wanna farm extra myth tomes for set due to the amount needed for the zodiac weapon ;/

    Personally I find brayflox hm easy to farm soldiery tomes, ^^ tbh getting a full weathered set will take a while, so there's no harm in getting a few pieces of myth gear if you have excess tomes

    50 myth & 45 soldiery. Has some decent gear drop as well but it's rare to come by. An alternative if you need temporary gear is crystal tower (can't check your lodestone if you have or not, it's being funky .-.) CT gives 100 myth and 10 sold btw ^^

    As for skipping gear levels, I would say it depends on what content you want to do :) if you can make do with what you have now then you're fine ^^

    Do both at the same time.

    You aren't going to want to do anything harder than the first coil in anything less than full i90. It would probably only take a few days of doing only Roulettes to get full i90 anyway, there is no reason to rush working on zodiac stuff. People are clearing the first 1 or 2 turns of the second coil with i90 gear so it's not like you are wasting your time getting it.

    Unless you already have your atma farmed up, you're likely to hit the 2,000 myth cap just by farming soldiery tomes anyway. You'll end up in a use it or lose it situation, and since you can't buy any books until you have your atma all farmed, and you can't buy another book until you're done with your current one, there will certainly be times when you have nothing to do with your myth tomes than buy gear (or crafting items/ whatnot if you're into that). Basically, if you're worried about zodiac quest just try to keep a decent amount of mythology on you so when you do finish the atma stage you don't have to farm any/ many to buy your first book.
