So, Soldiery Weapons

[Ametrine]

I've decided to take the path of earning myself a Yagrush, but haven't actually seen a single player (even on a server as hopping as Balmung) take the same route.

Basically, instead of going the Relic-Zenith-Atma-Animus route most players are grinding for a top tier weapon, or taking Levi EX for the drop, I've begun trading in my Soldiery Tomes for the needed Rowena's Tickets, and am working up through Coil to eventually work on getting the Unidentified Tome and Sands of Time.

I'm a little curious why so few is opting for that route of gaining high level weapon. The Atma grind looks like something that could kill the game for me, and I'd rather run dungeons!

most people rather go and get relic weapon seeing as its always upgradeable meaning u will have it probably for few expansions. with novus weapon coming out in relic weapon it will be 110 ilvl same as the other weapons so not really worth spending sol on unless u dont need gear then its probably ok to get.

If you sol cap since patch, you should be close to getting all sold gear for a single class excluding accessories. And not every piece of sold piece are good, so for my case I rather wait until I get the high allagan version instead.

Although I can see where you're coming from.

in that case you would probably be using the sold for alt classes on that character so u have something to switch to when needed seeing as u wont get all sold gear. but yeah as i explained with the new relic upgrade next week it will be ilvl 110 for relic and also gotta remember relic weapon is always upgradeable

I see a couple WHMs on Hyperion taking Yagrush. Until you get a High Allagan Crook, it's actually the best option you can get for WHM. Plus, it looks pretty cool.

it all comes down to bis people want to max all stats so if it's not bis they ignore it.

I plan on getting a Conquerer, myself. It's essentially the i100/i110 Dual Haken. Grants decent accuracy and stuff, but doesn't require headache-inducing grinding nor running Coil incessantly.

And especially with Sands of Time and Oil of Time being drops in CT2, I may never have to touch Coil ever to reach a point I'm happy with gear-wise, though I do wish I could clear all of that content for the sake of clearing it, even if I don't get any items out of it. Primarily for the story and for completionist's sake. But it's just too much of a pain to deal with.

Get the Yagrush, enjoy having a better weapon than Animus.

I waited until I got the tome drop and then I saved up soldiery and got my weapon. It wasn't something I planned for cause I didn't know how long it'd take to down T7. (But I'm still slowly working on the books for my animus because it'll always be upgradeable and, well, the Gae Bolg Animus is pretty!)

In a few hours i will get my second soldier weapon, i spend my time playing pvp, raiding or not ingame, because farm a lot of myth in the same dungeon it's insane.

I got allagan weapon more soon than Curtana+1. I had to spent myth on zenith because i have to complete the relic quest
