    1st priority: Soldiery tokens, for armor. Try to get the 450 cap every week.
    2nd priority: Weapon. Myth for Zenith is most likely. If you can get Dual Haken or Leviathan EX axe, then great -- but that probably comes later.
    3rd priority: Myth armor. This is just filler until you can get soldiery or better gear. Coil 1-5 is equivalent if you can find a farming group.

    You could do both 1 and 2 by running the 3 "Expert" 4-man dungeons.

    Soldiery first because it won't be replaced any time soon and cap prevents you from getting it all quickly later. Weapon upgrade (Zenith minimum) you need more than i90 armor because of agro. DPS classes are now packing i100 and i110 weapons, and it is quickly becoming more common.
    - Think of Brayflox HM speed runs where you're using a lot of Overpower and Flash and DPS are nuking as fast as they possibly can. If agro can't keep up, then DPS hold back or they die. Don't be that tank.
    - Think of coil where a lot of mechanics are going on and can't concentrate on agro. Including add spawns that you HAVE to get and keep agro immediately. Don't be the tank losing agro, even briefly.

    Thx for the guide, I've bought the Zenith version this morning.
    I'm saving up for the soldiery chest armor seeing it upgrades the most stats and gives loads of parry and accuracy.

    I've noticed that keeping aggro is indeed a challange with my gear when playing with i100 geared dps. Still pretty doable but not relaxing.
    What are the places i can run for rings and bracelets? still got i55's on me.

    I'd suggest myth tomes (i90, cost 375 each) or i70 crafted. Myth tomes are probably the easiest to get. Coil or primals could get you roughly the same. i70 crafted is only good if you heavily (5x) meld it with materia. This costs a significant amount of gil, but the stats are arguably better than i90.

    An i70 crafted when properly melded looks like: 10 Vit, 9 Str, and up to 12 of ~3 secondary stats.
    An i90 looks like: 15 Vit, 16 Acc, 11 Parry.

    Put another way: 2x i70 melded is more stats than i90 tank + i90 strength accessory. However, if you want pure Vit and neglect Str, then you don't mess with crafted.
