Second Ring for i91 SMN

[CodeCass]

So as of right now, I'm iLevel 91, and one hindrance I have is an iLevel 80 ring I can't seem to shake. I already have a Hero's Ring of Casting, so I can't obtain another. What I'm curious of is: which dungeon/raid/trial should I be focusing on in order to get a better ring for myself. To date, the only thing I can seem to do is drop 400k on the MB for a "Diamond Ring"....but I'd really prefer not to do that if I can help it!

As far a progression is concerned: I've completed all main storyline, all dungeons, and Turn 1-3 of Coil, as well as clearing CT and ST more times than I can count. I've yet to be able to complete any Extreme Mode Primals yet as DF fails me constantly and I'm too lazy to put a PF group together yet :P !

Any ideas for this accessory-challenged SMN? Haha. As always thanks for any and all help folks! It's always appreciated!

Garuda EX drops i90 rings and the casting one is quite good. Also the weathered evenstar ring is i100 which can be upgraded to i110 from an oil from ST or hunts.

Allagan Ring of Casting drops in T1 which is easily farmable via DF. The ring is kinda meh for SMN though, cause it only has acc and spell speed on it. Buying a weathered Evenstar for 375 soldiery is probably the best option. Garuda EX ring is really good like already mentioned, but it's a pain to farm if you don't have a group to do so...

Sounds like weathered evenstar ring is the way to go then! I appreciate it folks! ......Now the noob question, is this purchased via the same attendant who sold me my other Evenstar gear? I only ask because I don't remember seeing any accessories. I remember seeing accessories for MYTH, but not for Soldiery. Now, as I'm not the sharpest bulb in the drawer, I more than likely simply overlooked them, but I just want to confirm!

Thanks again!

And when you upgrade the weathered evenstar to evenstar you can get another weathered evenstar.

Uh oh, now I'm confused! haha.

Get the weathered ring. Then upgrade it with an oil, giving you a 110 ring that's a different name than the weathered ring (just "evenstar ring"). Now you can get another weathered ring because you no longer have a "weathered evenstar ring".

[MrCookTM]

Yes, it's the same npc. Just switch one tab to the right and tadaa, lots of soldiery accessories. ^^

All the weathered gear is ilvl100. You can "unweather" it by using a sands of time (left side, drops in t8/t9 or purchasable via 750 allied seals from hunts) or oil of time (right side/accessories, drops in t7, t9, Syrcus Tower 4th chest or purchasable via 500 allied seals from hunts) which makes it ilvl110. Like with the myth gear, the soldiery gear you can only hold one per piece at a time. However, this is only the case for exact same pieces, so if you upgrade your i100 weathered evenstar ring to a i110 evenstar ring via oil of time, you can buy another weathered one for the second ring slot.

edit: Alistaire beat me to the 2nd part of my answer. ^^

Thanks Alistaire and MrCookTM! This has been a fantastic help! I appreciate all the assistance!

If you don't need the accuracy from the Weathered Evenstar ring you should get Ramuh's ring. It is more DPS (and for SMNs, arguably better than the 110 HA ring).
