(New)Paladin Gear Progression question

[Rbstr]

Once you're i90 you need to make sure you're hitting the acc cap, that's something just a bit less than 500 for Turn5. You can do earlier turns at somewhat lower totals. Accuracy and over all ilevel average are the most important things when you get started.
Get through 1st coil (you can easily start that once you meet minimum ilevel reqs).

Then do second coil to get i110

And all throughout upgrade to more soldier stuff and try to do some hunts to un-weather some of it.

...as far as crafted i90 accesories, it's great but super expensive and not at all required.

Looks like you got the hang of it. I would say anything but the Noct head. Valor is still a great piece, you could even go with the ST head. My next gear ups are going to be Weathered noct belt (coz I like parry), Phlegethon's Gauntlets (ACC/Parry), and Phlegethon's Mask (Crit/ACC). The rest of the Right side will be kinda tough as it is though to let go of acc/parry on the allagan pieces. If any though I will go Neck for sure, and possibly wrist, the allagan fending earring is still pretty strong stat wise.

Thanks guys!

So I finally reached 50 last night, finished my class quests and started on my Relic Weapon quest.
I purchased my Weathered Burtgang and either today or tomorrow I will purchase my Lorica.

Meanwhile, I started to think, if I take my time with my Relic Quest (all the way to Norvus), would the Noct Hoplon shield worth getting or I can get by with Zenith shield?

Thank You!

Zenith is enough for all tier of content, upgrade left side + ring with soldiery should be priority. You should look into RamuX and get the shield off that.
