As far as i can see, I would lose much of crit, when I would dress in the new high allegan clothes till I get the sand to upgrade the weathered daystar closes.

On the other side is the increase of the primary stats something, that I should not get out of focus.

So I'm not shure: Wait for the sand or roll on clothes too?

They wouldn't be completely useless after that, as i play WHM too and do support other groups as whitemage sometimes. But not in my actual coil static.
